Janet Leigh’s cameo in Pepe is a scream, worth waiting the two hours it takes to get to her.

it's pretty much a guarantee that there will be more elected dems distraught, personally offended, and aghast at trump's truth social post re: mueller than the actual illegal war he started with iran and all the war crimes and the murdered school girls, right? remember the murdered school girls, or?

Julien Duvivier’s PANIQUE (1946), adapted from Simenon's Les Fiançailles de M. Hire, really shook me. It's Duvivier's first French film after WW2 & its portrayal of mob justice in a paranoid society is timely & chilling today. Stunningly shot, with a heartbreaking lead performance by Michel Simon.

Silly, beautiful Horst Buchholz

O’Brien is really good at this.

Reliably my favorite feature of awards season

The second episode of Strip Law is perfection, right down to the needle drop. (The rest is great, too, the rare show I’ve been recommending to friends and co-workers)

Is that Robert Rietty I hear as one of the German officers in Sink the Bismarck!?

I’m tired of purported film/pop culture writers who repost nominations/best-of lists with an incredulous, “What the fuck is—?” or “I’ve never even HEARD of—“ or “— isnt a real movie, no further questions.” You’re incurious!

This is my “tramopoline!” moment

Finally finished and that is an unimpeachable Top Two. Also, I watched 120 films from 2000 last year and there are still three mentioned here that I missed (two I’d never heard of!). Great episode!!!

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. I’ve never seen it, is this a good thing?

Saw Freakier Friday and Ella McCay this weekend and oh, Jamie Lee Curtis, I am truly a forever fan ❤️❤️❤️

I know I'm not the only person thinking this, but the Netflix acquisition of WB is exciting for one reason and one reason only: the prospect of finally being able to binge-watch the David Soul Casablanca TV series!

I’d like to read a biography of Alfred Hitchcock, many many many books to choose from, which ones would y’all consider the best?

The way Nicole Kidman says, “Nessa…” in The Hours.

Nouvelle Vague, wall-to-wall hotties.

Having finally seen it, Stellan Skarsgård as “supporting” in Sentimental Value seems insane.
