Edina Mom has entered the chat. Welcome, comrade.

One of the few critiques from even some liberal friends about One Battle After Another I heard back in September is “idk, still wrestling with what it’s trying to say politically, not sure how I feel about so and so.. etc.” After the last month we’ve had, how about now? Does it click now?

30 Rock can be such mental health cure. Even on the worst days like today, there’s at least one line reading or more per episode that cracks a smile on me. A rewatch loop that I will continue until I am old and/or dead.

SNL having Geese as a musical guest and it being an actual band and not just a swarm of big, loud shitting birds on the stage is just another disappointment to add to 2026.

We had 50K people downtown yesterday, no ICE and zero incidents. ICE is the fucking problem.

THIS IS NOT OKAY

*turns up phone brightness to 100%* Oh yeah, there he is.

“I would come out to her” applies to literally every character on #ThePitt.

Going from Oscar nomination morning to 9 sore hours of a mundane day job and then off to the movie theater for my first ever viewing of Seven Samurai. Few people have my level of endurance.

The Perfect Neighbor is definitely the frontrunner to win Doc this year now that it’s been nominated but I would reeeeaaallly keep an eye on Come See Me in the Good Light. Apple campaigned hard and I don’t think they’re slowing down.

You see what you’ve done, Oscars? You’ve upset Charlie Puth!

For shits and giggles, looking back at my July predictions from last summer. Oh, After the Hunt, we had so much faith in you… jakobtalksfilm.com/2025/07/03/f...

My boyfriend is so mad that he has to watch F1 now.

Personal record: only not seen 4 feature nominees- Kokuho, Mr Nobody Against Putin, Cutting Through Rocks, and Viva Verdi Putin is streaming but the rest aren’t! Help! I’m so close!!!!

Things to remember going forward: The Academy doesn’t nominate back to back performances. The Makeup branch doesn’t nominate back to back sequels (without considerable distance with a legend in the makeup department)

Ariana stans about to start WWIII.

The dismissal of Paul Mescal for Hamnet isn’t totally surprising right now, but over time, it’s going to look silly in hindsight. I do wonder if there were those that fought back on his category placement.

Omg I didn’t even register the Ugly Stepsister nom!!

Completely forgot there was a Song nomination that I can’t even tell you what it is because I’ve never heard of it in my life. Did we all just experience the same thing? Wtf was that

First year without a lone Screenplay nominee in a long while

I think we need to give Clayton Davis his flowers today. We doubt him but occasionally he knows when something is up.

Seriously tho Avatar Fire and Ash getting in for costumes is one of the most unhinged nominations the Academy has ever done.

Wait I have to go to work now???

Sinners breaking the nomination record with 16. My gawd.

The concept of Avatar Fire and Ash getting a Costume Design nomination over Wicked. #Oscars

Elated by these Oscar nominations but so sad for Chase Infiniti and It Was Just An Accident in Picture/Director

ZERO NOMINATIONS FOR WICKED FOR GOOD!!!

Yall need to listen to me

we are gathered here today

If Weapons gets into Best Picture, I will not have a bad day today. I will be at work walking on clouds. ☁️

And the nominees for Best Supporting Actor are… Benicio Del Toro in One Battle After Another Jacob Elordi in Frankenstein Paul Mescal in Hamnet Sean Penn in One Battle After Another and … ….SY ABELMAN???

Prayer circle tonight for an Adam Sandler surprise nomination

The amount of times Dermot Mulroney has shown up in something I’m watching has become absurd at this point. That man is in everything.

#SNL Cut For Time Desk Segment: Tommy Brennan on Trump’s ICE deployments to Minnesota #SNLNerds youtu.be/uA8Oury0a80?...

Cutting for time Tommy Brennan’s ICE segment on Weekend Update was a big dumb stupid bozo move by Lorne Michaels.

Deeply want to make last minute switches to my Oscar predictions but every year I do that, I end up screwing up a category, so I am going just hold my breath until Thursday.

Caught up to the second episode of #ThePitt I just wanna know who on the set got to take home the penis prop. I assume somebody did!!

It’s Oscar Nomination Week! Fun fact for those confident in Wicked: For Good’s chances in makeup. There has never been a first/original film nominated for Best Makeup and its direct sequel nominated as well, except ONCE- Coming to/2 America (33 years apart). They are ruthless w snubbing sequels.

The 90s Muppets movies really understood the secret of success: having Rizzo and Gonzo as our lead Muppets.

REVIEW: #28YearsLater #TheBoneTemple jakobtalksfilm.com/2026/01/15/r...

The thing about #28YearsLater #TheBoneTemple is that there are moments that are absolutely ridiculous that on paper shouldn’t even work, and watching them, you’re like “is this working??” and after it’s over you’re like “I would like to see that moment 10 more times. Right now.”

I survived my trip to The Bone Temple and all I got was this lousy shirt!!

I’ve arrived at #TheBoneTemple.

Revisiting Erin Brockovich. One of those movies I’ve seen and liked and understood the praise but was never passionate about, but this watch reminds me that it’s really an exceptional piece of work. A firecracker screenplay paired with a perfect performance.
