“/pol/ was created after moot met with jeffrey epstein” is maybe the single most cursed true sentence I have ever had the displeasure of writing

Sam Rami’s treatsie on the highs and lows of Socialist Revolution, aka SEND HELP, is an absolute blast

THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB is expanding today. If you’re not snowed in, you should check it out. Besides being an *important* Oscar nominated film, it is a dynamic achievement in cinematography. Full review: elementsofmadness.com/2026/01/29/t...

In Theaters: After starting a theatrical run in limited locations back in Dec 2025, director Kaouther Ben Hania's docudrama THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB expands into even more theaters. EoM Contributor @andrewjeisenman.bsky.social explores the beauty and heartbreak of the film in this full review.

Astonishgly awful and offensive in ways I’m sure we haven’t even begun to consider!

NEW: The Israeli military today accepted the Gaza Health Ministry's estimate of 70,000+ killed. But in 2024, 62 Dems joined 207 Republicans to ban the State Dept. from citing the Ministry's stats. Now, even Israel accepts them — perhaps because they realize what is feared: the toll is even higher.

ICYMI: For the initial release back in December, EoM Contributor @andrewjeisenman.bsky.social sat down with director Kaouther Ben Hania to discuss the making of THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB. Listen to the full 16-minute conversation here. #TheVoiceofHindRajab #filmsky

Director Dawn Porter just said “abolish ICE” before her Sundance screening of WHEN A WITNESS RECANTS. She was met with a giant roar from the crowd.

I’m just glad Joe Biden isn’t alive to see what’s happened to America, it would break his heart

A fun game to play when you’re bored tomorrow is “What would Google, Walmart, or other bicostal corporation do in a Civil War?” Remote work? Split Carolina style?

6 Dems voted to fund this more, now. And many more voted to fund last year.

" I was just trying to work the best I could. And thank God there was some lightning caught in the bottle." --Angus McLachlan, writer-director of A Little Prayer, the family drama starring David Strathairn that was one of my favorite movies of 2025. www.rogerebert.com/interviews/a...

My Oscars two cents: thrilled for Sinners, thrilled for Train Dreams, thrilled for Wagner bummed for Daniel Lopatin's Marty Supreme score, bummed for Chase Infiniti, bummed for No Other Choice, really really bummed for The Testament of Ann Lee, bemused by the lack of Wicked, enraged by Elio. ty!

At least IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT has the reward of being a forever movie in the annals of history, as opposed to F1 which is fine.

“Jason Statham Makes His Fortnite Debut”

Only a man who’s never had a 71 year old “hold” your ladder would say this.

Sentimental Value needle drop was magnificent

The word they’re looking for is “colony.”

David Lynch would have been 80 today.

We could have healthcare

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

In which you can hear me call my peer’s nomination of CHRISTY for the NC film award “cinematic malpractice”

I wrote about THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME, which authors a library in just one line of dialogue.

I have now seen Tom Hanks’ ELECTRIC CITY (2012), a strange, very cool relic of the Yahoo streaming days. Censored cussing but uncensored violence is very 2012. The world is fantastic, the animation is sometimes very good, and I found the “freedom” that the rebels build to quite moving.

I wrote about Renee Good, Venezuela, Greenland, and what it means to be a human being. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I don’t give axios money, someone tell me — does the story say if Zohran is texting back fast, or is he taking 2-3 days to reply like a lady letting you down easy?

Group chat’s taking odds on how soon until we invade Korea to save the dictactor.

Gonna finally get on Polymarket to bet on the Assembled — Avengers: Doomsday doc showing the same thing.

Since people are once more (rightly) talking about @veradrew22.bsky.social's THE PEOPLE'S JOKER, here's my spoiler-free two cents from its initial wider release. On physical and digital formats now. Coming to Tubi sometime this month.

Have you ever considered what would happen in the moon fell? What if a Lexus dealership was the only way to save the world? Try MOONFALL.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Trump is going to kidnap David Zazlov next

"In extraordinary moments such as this, too many journalists behave as if they have more in common with billionaires destroying journalism than the 80 or so people killed in Venezuela by Trump’s airstrikes. If we’ve learned anything this past year, it’s that proximity to power does not equal power."

It annoys me when a Kennedy tries to wear carhart.

everything is e-waste now. Everything is sphero.

His hit rate is abysmal, but RPK is now spreading rumors that Sony Pictures is intending to commit a war cri-I mean introduce Paul to the MCU.

This is billionaire-controlled media. They want to sleepwalk us into another forever war. We must break free.

The latest from me: Last night I was watching COVER-UP and had to turn it off. Then I woke up to the news about Venezuela. "COVER-UP" AND JUST ANOTHER DAY IN VENEZUELA www.pontificator.org/p/cover-up-a...

ABC NEWS LIVE, the free youtube news is saying that the venezuala invasion is good, actually

It’s impeachment time

Fine, he can come talk to me in my kitchen if he really wants.

it’s been a huge goal for elon musk and the entire tech reich to destroy real journalism and install a generation of people who are “citizen journalists” because they are far easier for them to control and influence to spread their agenda

Hi editor pals! In 2026 I'd love to start writing for some new publications. Film critic and video essay writer originally from Mumbai, now in NYC, and always at film festivals (Sundance, Berlin, SXSW and Cannes next). More about me and some work samples: www.siddhantadlakha.com

Ended the year with IS THIS THING ON?, and I don’t know what everyone’s talking about with “not enough jokes,” the credits were the funniest thing on screen all year!

“Heritage American” has broken containment onto the dating apps 🤢

The whole Kevin O’Leary of it all on the MARTY SUPREME press tour is aamzing, because Safdie is solidifying this guy as a horrible asshole and artist at thr same time. He’s playing guitar on Friedland and now I need to know what that monster’s Tokyo street photography even looks like.
