Leaning towards written, if anyone still reads anymore

May we all write more beautiful, niche, cross-disciplinary things like this about our respective obsessions (Art history and Heated Rivalry are two of mine, so I am the exact target audience for this one)

Skeptics of the proposed hyperscale data center in Box Elder County are sweating about a lot more than its energy demands and potential toll on water supplies.

Happy birthday to Amy Heckerling! Watch Vamps. It's not perfect, but it's delightful fangclub.buzzsprout.com/1832109/epis...

Using the rules of linear perspective to combat ai slop can I get a hell yeah

for @ebertvoices.bsky.social I wrote about Dorothy Hughes and in a lonely place and I am so so so proud of this piece and 🥹 please read it www.rogerebert.com/features/how...

The closer we get to June 7, the less chill I have

Maybe it’s because I live in Utah, but I think more people nationally should be talking about this one. A single data center larger than Manhattan in a drought-ridden state with a dying ”great” lake approved by a handful of rich guys despite massive disapproval. It’s very, very, very bad.

Not feeling like doing the "top 15 TV shows off the top of your head" prompt; but I will say that when my close friend asked me to name my 10 favorite TV shows a few weeks ago, she replied to my impromptu list by saying, "Well, you're kind of a bro"

Related, TIL Michael Crichton was SIX FOOT NINE?!

I can't make myself want to watch season 2 of Beef (I think I just can't mentally commit to that many hours, it's not really about the show itself), but Oscar Isaac in the Criterion Closet is making me seriously miss Oscar's Podcaast She will rise again one day

Oscar Isaac was in the Criterion Closet and he’s the first guy who I think properly understood that he gets all the movies for free and just overloaded the bag

Opening credit sequences are a lost art (combo of streaming & AI, imo), and I will never "skip intro" on a good old one even when I'm binge watching

New Teenage Bookbag episode! This month, we're discussing Pirates! by Celia Rees. This is one of those books that was SO formative for me that it's hard to overstate it teenagebookbag.libsyn.com/pirates

I will say that I do appreciate the brands that show larger sized models wearing the jeans, that does help (I have to shop for pants online, which I hate doing, to get tall inseams)

This was an interesting read, because I saw the trailer for this like 3 weeks ago and thought, "What the fuck is this movie, the vibes are so weird" Weird vibes explained!!

There is nothing like trying to find new jeans to make me feel frumpy

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: bakery in the front, single screen rep cinema in the back

Didn't love Over Your Dead Body; but going in I did not expect so much Timothy Olyphant, so that was a lovely surprise for me personally

Episode 2 of Teenage Bookbag is coming on Tuesday (4/28)! We're shifting gears to discuss a book that 11-year-old me was well and truly obsessed with: Pirates! by Celia Rees (Photo credit to my co-host and her perfect treasure chest coffee table)

Anyway, the proper rating for 90% of films is either “two and a half stars (derogatory)” or “two and a half stars (complimentary).”

I will never forget the experience of seeing LEAVING NEVERLAND at its Sundance premiere. For @avclub.com I wrote about a devastating, definitive documentary about surviving sexual abuse that cannot be erased.

Evergreen reminder this 420: No one should be in prison for weed.

Without stating your age, post your favorite film from the year you turned 18 (I can't pick)

I love this for many reasons, not least of which is the fact that I live with a man who is 6'8" and so know all about the shenanigans of tall men exaggerating their own height and also other tall men's height in comparison to their own

Finally caught up with Peter Hujar's Day (on the Criterion Channel), and I adored it

For Boston Hassle I reviewed THE CHRISTOPHERS, one of Steven Soderbergh’s warmest and most human movies in ages (and sadly, if he keeps on using AI, for ages to come). bostonhassle.com/review-the-c...

Thinking about sending a letter with my taxes this year that begins, "Dear imperialist swine"

Did a diy avocado face mask this weekend for a bit, but it's actually made my face feel really nice

To be clear, looking at a co-star like he wants to eat her up IS the skill set

You, Me & Tuscany is what I mean when I say that a rom-com lives and dies by its leads. Terrible script and purely serviceable filmmaking; but Halle Bailey *sparkles* and Regé-Jean Page looks at her like he wants to eat her up. And I ate it up. It was cute, chemistry kept it afloat

Doing some freelance research that involves going through university Common Data Sets, and I just found one form from 2007 that's been answered in Comic Sans font

do you ever think about the time @hellafitzgerald.bsky.social wrote the greatest lede in history in an essay about Magic Mike XXL? yeah me too electricliterature.com/magic-mike-x...

It's always nice to look at an old, abandonded draft of an essay and realize that it's basically finished and you actually like it

Willem Dafoe x Martin Scorsese's THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST (1988)

Top 3 films of 2026 (so far)? Ooo, probably (in no order) Bone Temple, Send Help, and Forbidden Fruits. Horror all the way down 🖤

fuck a firefly revival, give me the rest of Glow

I am working on posting more regularly myself on my site, BUT I do publish guest posts occasionally. I can't provide you prestige, but I'll edit & host your work and pay you for it. Trying to do my part to make the internet a more interesting place! www.delayedresponses.com/guest-post/

Tell me the manager of this AMC is a woman without telling me the manager of this AMC is a woman

I think it's only a matter of time before I start sincerely referring to Rock of Ages as a film maudit and everyone starts shunning me

On the one hand, I will not get my dream podcast crossover project (Oscar Isaac in a vampire movie), but on the other hand... WAGNER FUCKING MOURA deadline.com/2026/04/wagn...

I'm practicing a ukulele cover of "Pop! Goes My Heart" and another of "Accidentally in Love" from Shrek 2 for the next open mic, in case you doubted my commitment to the bit. (Except the bit here is learning to play the songs that my two-year-olds with eclectic musical taste enjoy.)

I think the best way for Mike White to cement his cross-genre legacy would be for him to produce a reality show in which players compete to be cast on the next season of White Lotus

reading a book about a bad person will in fact turn you into one. authors are lying to you about this because they’re all bad people themselves

This should be doing the rounds as regularly as that Tom Holland lip sync battle, repost and share widely

Nothing has made me love a 90 minute movie like being a parent of small children. Anything longer and I can't finish it between their bedtime and mine

This Netflix 13 Going on 30 remake news is so fucking depressing

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy
