Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 4️⃣

Watching the original Scream, and it's wild the way my brain completely suppressed any knowledge of the existence of Jamie Kennedy until right this minute.

Honestly, if they start making us pay attention to what studios are releasing movies, I think movie theaters are truly and finally cooked.

Not college, not trade school, but a secret third thing* *being co-opted by a wizard into joining a company of dwarves as a designated burglar, tricking trolls, stealing a ring, freeing dwarves from elvish prisons, surfing barrels down a river, trash talking a dragon, and barely surviving battle

Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie is freaking magical. I had exactly zero idea what I was getting into and it was an absolute delight.

Good movie day. Two 4.5 star new watches and a 5 star rewatch.

Trying to resolve some of my worst movie sins, I've watched Casablanca, Rear Window and 12 Angry Men in the last couple weeks, and... umm... watch old movies.

I always deeply appreciate the dynamic of "HELP! HELP! Drop everything! Only you can save the day," that is immediately followed up with, "get the fuck out of here. Who asked for your help anyway?"

Guys being Dudes

Okay, same thing, but apparently everyone sees the Chloë Sevigny thing in It Follows.

Originally, Tolkien planned for Frodo to have an evil twin in Lord of the Rings. He eventually dropped the idea because he was afraid of developing a bad hobbit.

The two day suspension being the classic, "I have to suspend you, but they had it coming" level of suspension.

My kids will routinely call me out when I use words they don't know. No such thing happened when I brought out kerfuffle this morning.

The 8 yr old coming downstairs to tell me about the Calvin and Hobbes comic he just read has just revealed exactly how much of my memory is dedicated to old Calvin and Hobbes strips.

Why did no one warn me that Aftersun was one of those movies that splits your life into the time before you watched it and the time after?

That one hamiton song about wanting to be in the room where it happens but with the modern meaning of "when it happens"

I don't think a good guy with a gun is going to save us, so we are depending on a bad guy with a gun... and if there is one thing I've been assured of, a bad guy will never have a problem getting a gun... so we might as well ban them.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 👼

i love paying more for less every year. i love feeling like I'll never get ahead no matter how hard i work or frugal i am. i love further concentrating wealth in the hands of our overloads. this is what i was born to do

*feeling an extremely strong connection between two pieces of media, then googling furiously to see if anyone has made the same observation*

Watched Crime 101 last night, and I don't know what triggered it, but I don't think I've ever reacted to car chases with a whiny inner voice saying, "duuuude, you're going to get in trouble," before.

I watched Moon (2009) this morning for the first time, and while I have no idea how many movies I would put on a list of what I would consider my favorites... it's extremely cool when a new one immediately inserts itself into that list.

Giving your lunar base AI the voice of the serial killer from Seven is very SpaceX coded.

This reminds me of the local case where a guy abducted by ICE was only returned home because he happened to work for a prominent local business owner and his business was attached to every story about it. We're supposed to be happy he was released, but how fucked is it that this is how it works?

Wait, a sci-fi movie with non-specific technological limitations AND an unreliable POV character?

The DOJ is out here arguing, "We can't investigate the Epstein files, this might open Pandora's box and bring down entire governments, whole economic systems!" And I'm over here like, I can not stress hard enough how I have never in my life wanted it all to burn to the fucking ground more.

You cannot effectively market wellness at the same time that you're making me want to kill myself.

Just watched the Errol Flynn Robin Hood for the first time, and don't mind me, I'm just going to be chilling out in this tree over here... for no apparent reason.

There is never an election where the most deplorable GOP candidate you can think of does not do a stop at Oakmont Bakery. One of their workers was snatched by ICE which resulted in every PA high official you can think of getting involved. He was released. reason not given. future is still uncertain.

The way that I have a very particular reaction that I can't say out loud every time I see one of these official statements.

I've never had the real thing, but I made what was supposedly a clone of it years ago... and it was very tasty.

It's extremely difficult to argue for the measured application of the law, when the president is a child rapist and we're expected to just be fine with it.

Made quesabirria tacos for dinner on Friday and just reheated the leftovers in the air fryer... I think my brain liquified with joy.

I am from the future, and they stopped making mid-budget quirky sci-fi movies because we didn't watch Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die in the theater. We can fix this.

If Stephen Miller switches parties to become a Democrat, wins the dem primary, and is the candidate vs. Trump in the next election, I will not vote for Stephen Miller. He is awful, his policies are awful, and it doesn't matter if he'd be "better" than Trump. This is a post about Gavin Newsom.

Watched Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die this afternoon, and boy to I love aggressively weird movies.

Things I did not expect to hear this morning... My wife: Oh yeah, my dad got shot in the face yesterday. *Apparently a very mild case of getting shot in the face

Mom: We've got pedophiles, rapists and murderers at home.

Well I didn't vote for the Laken Riley Act but @ossoff.bsky.social did so can there be some burden on him too? Because I don't get to vote again for months and he's doing it all the time.

Hell, motherfucker, do you believe in it?

This is the framing! What these people are doing is EVIL. Don't sugarcoat it, these are evil people, and if anyone deserves damnation...

This should replace breathing for our elected officials. If they are respiring, this is the language that should be coming out of their mouths while they do it.

Can I just say... The Big Sick hits that much harder once you know what it's like to be in a (parasocial) relationship with Kumail Nanjiani.

!!

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

The message they probably don't want us to take from this is that even a large local business owners has sway with elected officials, so if those people feel threatened by what's going on, they might actually do something about it.

Rewatched Interstellar last night, and... is there a PO Box where I'm supposed to return my Nolan stan card?

If you look back at our history, it is totally within our cultural makeup to just round up the people in the Epstein files and burn them at the stake. Granted, it's mostly men, so I don't see it happening, but it's not like we couldn't.
