A 2.9 average?? What kinda asshole doesn’t like DEEP BLUE SEA? The best Renny Harlin film. Number two is THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT.

If you want to be a good writer, you need to listen more than you speak. This isn’t just for the obvious benefit of heightened social observation, but random people will just start telling you their shit because you seem like someone who listens.

If this were the ‘80s, we’d probably get major studio action movies with ICE members as the heroes. It could still happen and the backlash will be fascinating. Not to be political (FUCK ICE, FREE PALESTINE), but I’ve never seen US power lose so much control over the hearts and minds of the public.

When you think about it, Ryan Wedding is the only Olympic snowboarder turned crime lord who didn’t get away with it.

As someone who hosts screenings, my interpretation of this is younger people yearn for communal cultural experiences because they’ve been denied them the longest. The out of touch adult defends all big tech as being down with the kids but kids are critical of this stuff because it’s forced on them.

I’m no politician but it seems the best way to ensure prosperity and security for your country isn’t to go out of your way to become the ENEMY OF THE WORLD.

Please, never be shy telling an author you loved their books. It’s seriously what gets us through.

2016 nostalgia is the weirdest, most random thing ever. What are you nostalgic for? Online gender wars? Prince and Bowie dying? Bad Santa 2? The first Trump campaign? Dream bigger.

The thing with zombies as villains is you can’t HATE a zombie. They have no freewill. It’s like hating volcanos. Many zombie movies have a “humans are the real villains” theme because, although cliche, it’s probably correct.

Most Canadian provinces don’t enforce movie ratings, which must be a result of the internet rendering them obsolete. You used to have to spend weeks growing a goatee to get into NATURAL BORN KILLERS at fifteen. SHOWGIRLS? Forget it.

Come on. HIGHER LEARNING is the third part of this “trilogy.” BABY BOY was a reset.

There should be a Star Wars movie about galactic centrists. “Look, the Empire shouldn’t have blown up that planet, but those peasant Beige Cloaks have been really annoying for a while!”

I don’t understand on what grounds Paramount Skydance can sue Warner Bros. Discovery for siding with a Netflix deal over their bigger offer. It’s like saying “How can you legally date him when I asked you out more??”

I gotta say I like how Disney Plus shows movies like TRON: ARES in IMAX enhanced versions, and I wouldn’t even complain if they added an electric guitar sound every time the screen changes size.

It’s shocking to realize that when half of Americans watch Star Wars movies they’re siding with the Stormtroopers.

The goofy extra from Scream 2 will return for Avengers Doomsday

I’ve exercised every day this year so far. If anyone needs a jar opened, now is the time.

I had a dream that Robert Zemeckis and Rob Zombie traded first names and then a bunch of YouTubers said this was proof that woke has killed Hollywood.

People like to say that Trump only invaded Venezuela for their oil. And while that was a goal, he also did it so we’d stop talking about how he’s a rapist and a pedophile.

My Horror Hot Take is that the hand in IDLE HANDS was correct. Those kids did smoke too much weed and also it killed the Offspring.

I have never seen an action movie where the people who kidnap a President are the good guys.

MARTY SUPREME is more of an entertainment industry satire than it is a character study about a “narcissist.” He does what is required of him to succeed. It’s a film about debasement.

People are so afraid to just use the word colonialism. I’m half-American, too, but it shouldn’t be so taboo to say when your country is the bad guy.

MAGA’s message is essentially anti-Earth: “America is the greatest country in the world but it sucks now.”

I can’t fully fall back into my physical media days (I’m out of shelves) but they keep releasing so much bomb ass shit.

Internet panics over which groups of people are “losers” are funny because everyone’s daily screen time would have been seen as offputtingly pathetic twenty years ago.

There’s a type of reviewer who will regularly criticize movies for going over the heads of audiences slightly stupider than they are. That’s not populist, it’s just patronizing.

Not a criticism, but has anyone noticed how close of an acting performance Eleven is to Angela in the first SLEEPAWAY CAMP?

Wow, people really take it personally when you give them a $100 therapy gift certificate for Christmas!

Someone was showing me a picture of a Chestburster cake she made, which is cool because every time I watch ALIEN I think, I would really like to eat that.

I’m looking forward to watching those new STRANGER THINGS episodes that made everyone mad because Winona Ryder realizes she’s the sister of a Demagorgon after learning they both have a mother named Martha.

New Movies and Chaos! T-U-R-T-L-E POWER (w. Gillian Wallace Horvat and Dave Baxter) With the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES TRILOGY (1990-'93) new on @arrowvideo.bsky.social 4K and Blu-ray, we're joined by two people who participated on this mammoth collection. Listen!! shorturl.at/jd1i0

“How are the first few bites?” “They had no cultural impact.”

Huh. Jennifer Lawrence may be hilarious.

One thing I always respect about my parents is they never really tried to force their political views on me. They of course steered me in certain ways, but mainly just gave me the information needed to make up my own mind. I think this is important for teaching kids to think.

Merry Christmas whether you react to this photo or not!! Here’s my nephew watching GREMLINS for the first time.

I’m not the first to say it, and I’m looking forward to rewatching them all when this hits streaming, but AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH feels like the first Cameron movie that isn’t a revolution. I want to see the Na’vi roaming the Manhattan streets at night like Frankenhooker. WAY OF WATER is my fave.

Part of the veneration of Aaliyah right now, at least subconsciously, is that if she’d lived, aughties pop music and R&B would have exploded in a really interesting, experimental way. Culturally, we were denied something and when you see an Aaliyah shirt it’s a shoutout to an alternative reality.

I’m writing a strongly worded letter to Nova Scotia Power about how the wind BLEW OFF THE 3D for ten minutes in the middle of AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH IMAX 3D yesterday.

Gonna start complaining that everything I don’t like has no cultural impact. “How are those fries?” “They have no cultural impact.” No one knows what they mean by it anyway.

I think analysts minimalize how much the death of the movie star era is connected to younger generations’ distrust of the rich and to many celebrities’ fear of expressing their views at a time when authenticity is becoming prioritized.

This was controversial to say at the time (I know because I was saying it) but Spielberg was the most consistently exciting American filmmaker of that era. An incredible run.

The "embarrassing, scandalous coda" of the Supreme Court's TikTok decision--new from @evelyndouek.bsky.social and me. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Here’s the PUSA clearly making fun of someone being murdered. Don’t the GOP want people to lose their jobs for the much lesser charge of not declaring a dead man a hero?

BLACK CHRISTMAS > MY BLOODY VALENTINE > CURTAINS The Canadian slasher film hierarchy. These are all good movies though, and the first two are really good movies.

I may end up going to see AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH in IMAX by myself because I guess I don’t know any true intellectuals.

People complain about movie audiences now but they forget or never experienced the late ‘90s laser pointer era. You’d go see SCREAM 2 opening night and there’d nearly be a riot because some jackass kept aiming a red light on Neve Campbell’s forehead like it’s a Predator crossover.
