Although I’ve been busy, I’ve kept up somewhat with the big releases in recent months, I just kept forgetting to log them in my Letterboxd. I finally went through the backlog and added some reviews, I still got a few more gaps to fill but I’ll get there. boxd.it/fWEp

"Jarmusch imbues GHOST DOG with a drifty, dreamy beauty that does not obscure, or even collide with, the fact that it is a violent portrait of poverty and precarity."

Guys she's the one who did the work to bring this to light, and you know, clear Brandon's name, something that nobody else seemed to care to do. So let's back the fuck off of calling her crazy

NYC: I’ll be introing one of my all time favorite films, Tony Scott’s delirious and wild, Domino, on Saturday, June 6th at Roxy Cinema at 4:45pm. Don’t miss it and be sure to check out the rest of Heather Landsman’s “I Paused My Game to be Here” series

Great times talking all about #MortalKombat2 and so much more for this week's @outnowpodcast.bsky.social with @walrusmoose.bsky.social and A4E's @vycevictus.bsky.social and @odstspartan.bsky.social! #ImJohnnyFuckingCage #Toasty!

The best thing about this whole situation is some of you fools were sending dick pics to a dude, so go cry while holding your Funko Pops. Karma is a mofo.

I wasn't much of a commenter but I somehow seem to find myself with a podcast co-host who was a frequent commenter, and having been on the receiving end of a Vyce hug, can confirm he is no grifter. His sanity is yet TBD 😆

Thanks to Max and Liam for having Dan and myself on to talk about a great show and its shortcomings!! An absolute blast as always chatting with da boys!!

For the evening crowd, some thoughts on "Liberal January 6th"— er, I mean Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.

Sidebar: if you’d like to follow an actual, real, knowledgeable chick who loves and knows action movies, try @jorcru.bsky.social.

there's a lot of people on here who want to feel good and will go attack victims at an abuser's behest. It's a very big problem.

the people you claim to be punching up against. I'm not bitter towards Dalia, not even close. But I am a little salty towards those of you who took immense glee out of this and will just move on to something else now that your play thing is gone. I appreciate the kind messages I have received.

from friends asking me what happened. Again, I think this is all so embarrassing and I don't find that it's a good use of my time to worry about an internet catfish. But please know, that some of you, in your crusades for moral superiority and inability to make real life friends, are no better than

“Maybe what actually draws you to deep space is not terror but awe: its promise to return you to the beginning, before you became this mutant, abject thing, this alien to your self. A time when you were pure and blameless and still loved the things of this world.“

The upload is glitched but this is sacred viewing. Obscure documentary about hit-to-pass, a Mad Max demolition race for Canadian hosers. The accents alone are ASMR I was lucky enough to see these things IRL as a kid www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkUM...

Just sort of resharing this to show that again catfishing isn't always monetary. Maybe it's mostly not!

"In the end, the profound mysteries of CHAN IS MISSING never cease, inviting repeat viewings for all who seek the truth." - @roninonempty.bsky.social

Other than the podcast, I haven’t done anything substantially movie/media related in a long while because I’ve been busy with certification courses, side quests, and the general pangs of life. Nothing too serious. Suffice to say, I’m aight.

Oh also, obligatory food post

And to spell it out: this fake catfish asshole accused my friend Brandon of being accomplice to sex pests with no proof and a number of you went along with it. And now you won’t even apologize. Fuck you. This community aint shit sometimes and migrating to Bluesky won’t change that

All I have to say about the fake Turkish catfisher is that some of you* should have paid a little bit more attention when “she” went from being an incredibly petite blonde to an incredibly jacked brunette with a facial scar. *men who thirstily replied to “her” tweets

Just dropping into see people talk shit and scramble to save face with the Dalia catfish thing, don’t mind me

Ha! Dalia. Wtf. Explains a lot! Looking forward to the eventual article detailing the entire fucking thing.

But in this instance, it seems like they just really wanted to be someone else. Someone deemed "special." If they had just been themselves w/ all the same thoughts & opinions, they likely would've been a fondly thought of member of our circle. Strikes me as deeply sad in a way that's hard to convey.

I seriously woke up this morning thinking about this bit of catfishing that occurred in our little action film community recently. Usually, with long cons where someone pretends to be a physically attractive woman, there is some sort of scam involved (money, gift cards, etc).

They confessed to the original catfishing back on Twitter, where the life was real but the pictures weren’t, blamed it on alcoholism, then they came back as the “real” person on Twitter and IG, moved the Twitter to BSKy, than a couple months ago said they needed a social media break and vanished.

Turns out Dalia/Ozge was a fake, huh? I had suspected but I tend to give people too much credit online. Also, "they" had great taste in movies/physical media! I enjoyed talking to them about that. I'm always up to talk 4Ks/Blus. Oh well.

I really enjoyed the action-packed horror-blast THEY WILL KILL YOU, and Zazie Beetz is outstanding in it. I hope she gets to do more fight movies, because it turns out she has a rare gift.

Happy birthday to my wife. She is without equal

NEW EPISODE: The Boys are finally together since December & bring to you their thoughts on the latest movies. Liam leads the charge on THE WRECKING CREW, & @hibachijustice.bsky.social and @vycevictus.bsky.social have differing thoughts on SHELTER! More below! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

The author of ‘Welcome to the Family’ (Barry Hertz) returns to the pod to discuss the Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham-starring franchise-starter that wasn’t, as well as late-breaking news about ‘Fast & Furious 11.’

Listen Now | As Hidden Pictures and Lionsgate’s The Housemaid arrives on PVOD amid a miraculous theatrical run (with $315 million worldwide and counting), its director, Paul Feig, stops by for an hour to discuss a career spent upending conventional wisdom.

I finally sat down with maybe THE perennial Brandon Guy, Gerard Butler, and had a great conversation about Greenland 2, the differences in his many action heroes and a tiny bit on Den of Thieves 3. You can read it here: www.menshealth.com/entertainmen...

PRIMATE (2026): Lean. MEAN. I'm annoyed that the film sets up some big family trauma narrative, only to abandon it in favor of tongue-in-cheek simian slasher beats, but the practical effects and the pacing are too well done to ignore. Surprisingly heavy giallo influences, too? Not mad about it.

First week of the new year. This month coming in hot, who’s ready #JanuaryMovies #FuckYeahJanuary

‘THE SECRET AGENT’ has won Best International Film at the Critics Choice Awards.

BLACK DYNAMITE screens on 35mm Tuesday at Nitehawk Prospect Park in the finale of HILARITY ENSUES: ACTION COMEDIES OF THE 2000s Introduced by @vycevictus.bsky.social 💥

I really, really, really liked THE LONG WALK—it's one of my favorite movies of the year (so far). The "unadaptable" becomes one of the year's most harrowing and impactful watches. Here's my full review for @dailydead.bsky.social:

Hit like if you read film criticism weekly and repost if you read film criticism more than that
