Spent the day cleaning my parents house to throw a party for my father to get a quilt of valor during which he cried a whole lot and then cleaned up from the party. I have literally no energy left, so Variety really came through with giving me the Jonathan Bailey/David Corenswet interview today.

“And let me be clear, I don’t care what all you do in your fancy suit in your off-hours, I’ll tell ya, what ISNT in the shadows is your tax returns.”

Followed up Jay Kelly with Train Dreams and now I am dehydrated from all the tears I have shed today

My favorite thing about my Christmas decorations is that it looks nice and basic from a distance, but if you look closer, you'll see dragons and dead bodies because of who my husband and I are as people

Was not expecting Jay Kelly to be the movie this Oscar season that emotionally destroyed me, but that’s where I’m at mentally

I can’t get over how Barbie succeeded because it offered tangible ways for women and girls to celebrate each other (and dress up and go to the movies together) but studios thought it worked because it’s about toys so now they’re making like Bananagrams the movie

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

After a banner year of Warner Bros putting unique, filmmaker driven original movies into theaters and getting giant audience turn out for them, the corporation that now owns them would like you to know that actually you didn’t like this and that what you really wanted was to watch at home.

Oh good, I was wondering how it could get worse

i know this is the "orange man bad" place but the implications of Netflix buying WBD are extinction level for cinema. there is nothing to celebrate in this deal

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

[clears throat] Fuck this stupid fucking narc elf That’s it, that’s the TED talk

Jeopardy tonight had Ron, identical twin brother of a former champ named Ray. @kenjennings.bsky.social asked how we know for sure it's not Ray playing again under a fake name. Ron pointed out Ray in the audience. But how do we know the brothers haven't pulled a Parent Trap?

I think they're both great in the film, but Del Toro and Penn are such a fascinating study in subtlety versus excess. Del Toro centers every one of his scenes with this puckish comic timing that makes you love Sensei Sergio, while Penn presents Lockjaw as a posturing lunatic from the jump.

man, Jacob Tierney seems like a sweet and lovely person. he's generous and lovely about the romance genre, he makes good sex scenes, and he's protective of his actors. gay hockey show was always going to be fun but this is like pasture-raised grass-fed free-range organic gay hockey show.

Ah, Spotify Wrapped day. The day where I am reminded that my music taste is incredibly basic.

there is a seething, contemptuous outrage on the part of the Dem elder statesman subcategory of the Epstein caucus (your Clintons, your Cuomos, your Pelosis, etc) for the younger generations who are openly rejecting their obsolete way of doing things, and the mask slips a little more every day

Everyone was counting on NYFCC to come through with this specific win and they heard us. The tradition of an off-the-wall supporting actress win is upheld.

Of the available supporting actors in OBAA, this is 1000% the correct choice. He’s the best performance in the entire film.

God it was lovely to watch Heated Rivalry and see a TV show using sex (good sex! not miserable, punishing sex that everyone hates!) to advance the story and character development. storytelling through sex is so fun and so good when it's good, and there are so many ways to fuck it up. I love romance.

I like to live in this bubble where I think that all the shitty parts of caring for my parents are going to be better once it's not 2025 anymore. And it works mostly until I'm trying to go to bed and then my brain is like "So, here's five awful things you're going to have to deal with next year."

The Gothams were so fun with a lot of interesting, offbeat winners and then it was just such a letdown with OBAA winning Feature. It's going to dominate this season. Let something else win at the freaking Gothams.

I love how many Gothams winners/presenters are giving the Gothams shit for abandoning their indie standards. bsky.app/profile/vult...

I watched After the Hunt and Sorry Baby right in a row, and for two movies that roughly deal with the same thing, they seem to be set on two different planets.

many things are bad, but one nice thing in 2025 is more male actors genuinely excited to play super horny gay characters in films and TV shows and embracing the female and queer fans who love them as a result

and listen, yes: we overreact to it. but we overreact to it because we spend years having people condescend to us as if we are vapid or lack intellectual rigor, and then they roll in talking out of their asses about something they CLEARLY do not understand, and all that frustration boils over.

I think my parents hit their 70s, found the TV station that seemingly plays Gunsmoke 24/7, and decided that’s the only channel they ever need to watch.

if you need something to watch after binging Heated Rivalry, may I suggest Fire Island, one of my favorite rom-coms of the past few years?

Oh wow….

I can't believe that I got to read Heated Rivalry over the course of like 24 hours and I have to wait a full month to finish this series.

Maybe the real lesson of Heated Rivalry is that even if Trump places prohibitively high tariffs on our lumber exports, Americans still desperately want to watch Canadian-produced prestige softcore gay hockey porn. We can save Canada’s economy by selling naked hockey butts to HBO & the world!

after watching the first 2 episodes of heated rivalry im incoherent conor storie's butt should be like. cast in plaster and displayed in the louvre maybe? but safely where thieves cant get it, it's a treasure of humankind

Oh Heated Rivalry is *horny* horny.

happy heated rivalry day to those who celebrate 🏒

Between Heated Rivalry starting this week, People We Meet on Vacation coming beginning of January, and Benedict’s season of Bridgerton coming end of January, I am going to be eating so good romance-wise.

Alright, family duties are over for today. Time for my favorite Thanksgiving tradition: rewatching all my favorite Thanksgiving episodes to TV shows. First up is The West Wing doubleheader. We're going chronologically , so that means we start with 2.08 - Shibboleth.

HAMNET (Chloé Zhao, 2025)

Ken Jeong bringing Bobby's "That's my girls!" energy.

Whatever you do, don't Google "[macys parade performer name] politics" #Heistgiving

If you'd given me a million guesses I would not have called Shaggy rapping on the Jennie O golden turkey float in the Macy's Parade. #Heistgiving

taylor momsen should’ve performed “whatcha say” in honor of the gossip girl thanksgiving episode

thanksgiving is a time for people to come together, to celebrate the spirit of unity despite our differences, and to demonstrate that, here is busta rhymes performing "break ya neck" with raphael the ninja turtle

Girl just give Oscar already. And Grammy. It’s Joever. Hell Macy’s Parade is not even a competition and yet EJAE, Rei, and Audrey won. This performance ate so hard, I fear everyone who performs after. Wow.

Tiler Peck dancing to a Whitney Houston cover on the Lindt float. God bless us, every one.

Kpop Demon Hunters was worth the 3-hour wait!

We too lost our minds at this giraffe

Thanksgiving is the most American holiday, even moreso than 4th of July IMO, because it's simultaneously grounded in a mythology that papers over the horrors that lie in our history while also celebrating the very best of our mixed culture despite being constantly encroached on by consumerism.

Nope. Lil Jon singing "Turn Down for What" on the Toys R Us float has beat it.

The Thanksgiving parade is the highest form of American art. Driven by capitalism but entirely earnest, bizarre in ways you can never expect, absolutely packed with Broadway stars freezing their asses off. There is really nothing we do better than

I'm sorry. The image of Shaggy singing "It Wasn't Me" on the Jennie O Turkey float in the Macy's Parade gave me the biggest laugh I've had in weeks.
