amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Twenty-one writers participated in this article on ScreenAnarchy, telling people what the top-10 films were in 2025…. screenanarchy.com/2026/01/scre...

Today's Google search I never thought I'd make: "Logistics of shitting in an airplane in 1927." PS. The book is going very well.

He says the men they murdered are on a list. Let’s see the list. Let’s hear their names. Show us the evidence. If you have any. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

This Admiral and the string of lying liars lying is gonna get complicated real fast…

I think it’s important to remember that as into social media as we are, huge numbers of Brits & Americans don’t spend time online & get their info from newspapers, tv & what colleague say at the pub/work. As William Gibson wisely said, “The future is already here—it's just not evenly distributed”

Took my 15yo on their first vinyl shopping excursion. They bought a copy of “Songs from the Big Chair” and asked where to find Black Sabbath. The kids are alright.

Thread du jour-

Definitely a head-scratcher that many will find unsatisfying. But from a purely visual standpoint, it’s never not interesting and even captivating at times. My ★★★ review of Mamoru Oshii’s “Angel’s Egg” (1985):

REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND: I naively just expected a stylish and stylised spy films tribute and had underestimated Cattet/Forzani! This mad narrative kaleidoscope of an actor’s psychosis is so brimming with visual brilliance and invention, one viewing isn’t enough!

New Woody Allen sci-fi film looks ridiculous.

You know it’s going to be a good list when it kicks off with 2022’s madcap @hundredsofbeavers.bsky.social.

My manager called me to glow about hearing about the review on numerous calls that day, all with people that didn’t know I was his client. But he asked “Is this how you want to be known around town?” I realized I didn’t and that my critic career had to be over. Thus I’ve been all love all the time.

I spent the first 10 years of my career as a famously vicious film critic. I was effusive with love but wrote some famous takedowns that often went viral. There was a 2 month period where my careers overlapped. I wrote a SAVAGE takedown of an admittedly deserving film that went around town…

And now I keep my negative film opinions to myself. You guys don’t need to see me kick other filmmakers in the nuts. And I have been all the happier for it. The best thing to do with a bad movie is learn from it and otherwise never think of it again.

Sixteen writers of ScreenAnarchy present a list of the 256 best films of the century (so far…), with a ranked top-25. Check it out: screenanarchy.com/2025/12/scre...

*youth pastor voice* Let me tell you kids about another carpenter who wasn’t very popular with the authorities

Loook... I don't give a shit about Katy Perry or Justin Trudeau. All I'm saying is that if you made a movie about a former prime minister and former pop star falling in love, set it at Christmas, and then put that shit on Netflix, Jess and I would crush two bottles of wine watching it and love it.

Lets just offer Pete a choice... Do you want to admit to a war crime or to a murder?

XOXO to the guy who made this.

Sheb Wooly. Actor behind the Wilhelm Scream.

Wow, this is EARLY in the morning! IIIIIIIIT’S 5-30am here in LA and I am up BRIGHT AND EARLY for a most auspicious zoom call! The LAST PIECE OF ADR on the movie ROGUE TROOPER! We really are approaching the end now. We WILL land this movie by Christmas!

So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin. Can anyone tell me how this has been forgotten? It is Profumo on stilts

I remember Joe Manchin being absolutely effusive that the Inflation Reduction Act would bring millions of dollars to create jobs for renewable energy in West Virginia.... now Trump is killing these opportunities. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

housing should cost next to nothing. you should just get a place to live, contribute to its power, water, taxes, and a bit aside each month towards upkeep and thats it.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN has now been seen by lots of people, so the ScreenAnarchy website asked its writers: “What did you make of it?” screenanarchy.com/2025/11/scre...

Russia's economic collapse is progressing nicely. Russia's railway monopoly is $51 billion in debt and needs a bailout.

Fascinating deep-dive into the Chinese strategies at play in Eastern Russia and Siberia, taking advantage of Putin’s quagmire in Ukraine. Combination of soft and hard power by China as it slowly digests historically Chinese areas that are now Russian, back into China- youtu.be/cxuSjPQ5YRk?...

The Dutch thriller MEAT KILLS (VLEESDAG) is marketed as an unrelenting gore fest, but that is underselling it. The film plays a lot smarter than that. My review: screenanarchy.com/2025/11/now-...

'Het gaat om vrouwen die zich niet ‘westers kleden’ of die binnen het gezin vooral ‘huishoudelijke dingen’ doen. IND blijf bij opvatting dat deze vrouwen zich kunnen schikken naar de leefregels van de Taliban.'

You know how I know that isn't a REAL orgy dome? Because there aren't thirty awkward dudes standing around waiting for a woman to show up.

Not kidding here, Oblivion Remastered is a huge upgrade of the old game, and its Skyrim-like leveling system fixed most of the problems I had with it, ages ago. And, even unmodded, it looks absolutely gorgeous.

So the Romanians just voted out their Putin Problem Child Sycophant, electing Nicusor Dan, to be the new President. Dude has a PhD in Math from the Sorbonne, & twice won the Maths Olympiad. Gotta love a country that elects a genius to run it, but he’s also a soft spoken, hard working, decent guy.

Always appreciate it when Sasha is able to encapsulate how dumb an economic blunder has been. He's on form here- youtu.be/BBQBWgWQUYw?...

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

These fucking guys just dont want to accept that there are parts of the world, (ones with longer life spans,) that dont want their food pumped full of shit that helps you make more profits but kills you faster.

I can't get enough of crap movies with unnecessarily violent animals. One can dream about the movies being half as good as the box art though... Crocodile was probably my first purchase from @synapsefilms.bsky.social #horror #filmsky #crocodile #moviesky #physicalmedia

Seriously considering starting a 13th (?) playthrough of HORIZON: FORBIDDEN WEST. I only tried ultra hard once; the escape from Thebes took so many tries which was so frustrating, & then I could not get past the fight with Regalla, so I gave up, but maybe I’ll try again. I miss Aloy & Kotallo.

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

Who could’ve imagined that the solution to high rents is building more housing
