What's your childhood cinema? My go to was the Villa in Milwaukee, a run-down, barely-functional place in a less-great area that would do horror and action triple bills for 5 bucks and didn't care if you were underage. It closed in 1995 but I guess it's reopening? www.jsonline.com/story/money/...

It's like that third Crocodile Dundee movie of self-absorbed psuedojournalism

you know who else was anti-ICE

Hey, um.... someone with a truck in northern Texas and also a storage unit here in Chicago

**SPOTIFY, target of a long and strong boycott campaign from @indivisible.org has announced ICE recruitment ads are no longer running on their platform. **Another boycott target, Avelo Airlines just halted deportation flights. **Next Up: Citizens Bank. variety.com/2026/digital...

This was unexpected! Not the movie, which was around for a couple years before getting released (and it's pretty nifty!), just that it popped up on Hulu out of nowhere

Another reason to be angry about what is happening in the world. With everything that happened yesterday I'm only finding out that one of my all-time favourite musicians just announced the release date for her new album and dropped two tracks.

Can't I just block "anything a republican has to say about anything?" It's never anything with any merit or truth, not sure what I'm supposed to do with that information

Some people are just now seeing how dangerous the right has become. It's crucial to treat them with care instead of going all "well, DUH" at them. Give them a big hug and a mug of hot chocolate and a cookie for waking up. Save the snark for Bluesky, they're all on the CSAM app and won't see it

Béla Tarr has always been a blind spot for me, i should watch some of his films. Why have I never seen SATANTANGO? Everyone talks about it (Checks running time) Ah.

Chicagoland. Show up at one of the vigils tonight.

Drop some spectacles

Happy Birthday to Joshua Grannell! Hear him on our BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER episode: www.projectionboothpodcast.com/2019/06/epis...

[Happy 97th birthday, Terry Moore, who appeared with Laurel and Hardy in A-HAUNTING WE WILL GO (1942) and a large ape in MIGHTY JOE YOUNG (1949), was Oscar nominated for COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA (1952), posed for Playboy in 1984, appeared on True Detective, married Howard Hughes (?), and still acts.]

yay! Honestly 2025 was the year I finally forgave Ethan Hawke for REALITY BITES (I kid, love you, Ethan)

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen. Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo. Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

If you're a trans person in Illinois sent a cease and desist by Trump's government, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

soon, the only way to see erotica will be by coming up with the ideas yourself on X

Sledge Hammer!, but then they had to get renewed

Farewell to Sidney Kibrick (1928-2026) the last of THE LITTLE RASCALS. He played Butch’s sidekick Woim in 26 OUR GANG comedies and was also a Dead End Kid in William Wyler's DEAD END (1937). He retired at 15 but continued making appearances and receiving fan mail for the rest of his life. #FilmSky

You've got a couple of hours to get the 4k of WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR for cheaper, and it is wild so you should vinegarsyndrome.com/products/who...

Every country needs to be following Finland's lead here. Media literary skills are going to be crucially important in the age of AI, where knowing what's real and what's not is going to be increasingly difficult apnews.com/article/fake...

Dora Hall will return as Dora Hall in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response reports just now that a significant number of federal agents have returned to Chicago this afternoon. Widespread community alert has been issued:

Well, this is awesome. (And free!)

This isn't impressive, I could watch a full run of Dragon's Lair by the late 90s

Jeez AMC, if you're not going to tell us about Maria Menounos's podcast, why would we even come early Anyway, I'm here for SENTIMENTAL VALUE, choosing classy over zombies or sexy thrills

Seconded

OH ALSO happy birthday Miyazaki, creator of many great things, sort of including my favorite meme

DREAMANIAC on Criterion when

Martin Scorsese talking about the movie that gave us needle drops youtu.be/o8gTxRPP90Q?...

Munchie Monday! Even Munchie tried to tell them Venezuela was a bad idea.

Believe me when I say this is one of the most jaw-dropping box sets ever released and definitely the greatest blind buy in all my years as a movie collector. Order without hesitation.

If they really wanted to make money they'd make a Heated Rivalry but for hockey dads

Watch the Roc gay marriage episode! It's got Richard Roundtree.

Going down to the video store for that sweet SLEEPWALKERS/PROSPERO'S BOOKS double bill

TOGETHER (2025)

TOGETHER is one of those movies where I wish they hadn't bothered trying to do any backstory for what happens and had focused entirely on the central relationship? The more "monster movie" aspects are more distracting than compelling. Still fun though!

After DIE MY LOVE, now watching TOGETHER, so I'm getting my "2025 movies where a couple moves out to the middle of nowhere and things go bad" boxed checked

Breaking for the only thing that could excite me today. The complete Lone Wolf and Cub. The complete Lady Snowblood. The complete Crying Freeman. $18. www.humblebundle.com/books/lone-w...

ha ha go away

On the plus side, presidents can just be kidnapped now, so keep hope alive

Finally watching DIE MY LOVE, my favorite genre (woman is going insane because LIFE)

Since a lot of people are talking about the Chevy Chase documentary, this seems like a good time to plug my book MY YEAR OF CHEVY, wherein I watched all his movies in a 12-month span and analyzed his career accordingly. amzn.to/3YTKtpj

Well that's just weird
