THE TAKING OF ANDRE 123

the fuck it will

World Cup is an important education for Americans who only ever see Europe on Instagram on what Europeans actually look like

Mason & Dixon

Every time I hear a World Cup podcast rave about C. Ronaldo, I feel like I am living in a parallel universe. The man is a 5 times accused rapist who has paid off one of his accusers and whose team changed their season schedule to avoid playing in the US so he wouldn't get arrested!

obviously my answer is McCabe & Mrs Miller, but it’s hard to argue w anyone saying Blazing Saddles. A few other candidates: Nashville, Nickel Boys, The New World, at least 3 or 4 Spike Lee movies (Malcolm X, Do the Right Thing, Summer of Sam, Bamboozled), Night of the Hunter, Hoop Dreams, Jackass

That Empire State Building couple chose to get engaged at a place that you'd find in my personal Room 101. If O'Brien took me up there I would love Big Brother so hard

we need a movie about this man the size and scale of the soviet war & peace

My friend just texted me "no goal is offsides on stolen land" 😭😭😭

sorry, can’t help it, I think it’s sweet that everybody’s singing the american national anthem (Country Roads) together

Read it one more time, but from a different angle in your brain, like when ET puts on the wig

re the ESB video, I’d like to send love to the other tourists in florence who were extraordinarily nice to me last year when I realized the duomo tour would involve “walk out single file on teeny ledge around the interior ceiling of the duomo” only once I got to that part and couldn’t go back

I just admitted that I only know in broad strokes what “Vatican 2” is and Justin was like “okay so you know when they release a new edition of D&D”

I was in Steinway street in Queens for the Morocco victory www.instagram.com/zeets7?igsh=...

“How dare you use my phone to call someone who’s not gay?”

you come to me on this, the second-to-last day of Pride month, and suggest a heterosexual adapt Moby-Dick

The downside to Germany being knocked out of the World Cup is that I won’t get to watch Germany get knocked out of the World Cup again.

20 min ago: hmmmm should I check on the soccer game maybe? just for a second, who even is playing today now: I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FROM THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY OF PARAGUAY

Then there’s the story of Mel Brooks coming to THE ELEPHANT MAN set to find David Lynch in freezing Southwark without a winter coat. He rang Savile Row & had his tailor make a copy of his own coat in Lynch’s measurements. Lynch was stunned, kept it all his life - spoke of it with emotion at the AFI.

denying a visa to the man who imitates a statue of a man we assassinated

haha ok imagine it’s 2026 and you got high for the first time in like six months and then you watched Network (1976) for the first time ever hahaha

East London BS please

went to see a ballet adaptation of Eugene Onegin tonight and I just love how the plot of so much of Russian literature is “there’s always some fuckin guy”

The wonderful @marisakabas.bsky.social let me go long on the grim historic parallels between the Prairieland defendants and 19th century America’s brutal repression—and execution—of anarchists, union organizers, and political dissidents. We are all antifa now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/haymarket-...

I'm sorry, the Norway shirts look like they were designed by a 12-year-old kid who just got really into Norse mythology this year.

LFG LES ELEPHANTS!!! 🇨🇮🐘

young, dumb, and full of soccer

oh okay cool so these two paragraphs are the scariest horror movie I’ve seen in years

I’m floored by this extraordinarily good and (appropriately) gutting piece from @emilyhughes.bsky.social. I know how it sounds to call an essay “urgent” but in this case it’s simply the most accurate descriptor defector.com/diabolical-m...

"In his 1999 Great Movies review, Roger Ebert identifies the title’s ampersand as a clue that the picture is about a professional arrangement–and when Ebert was right, few were ever more right."

Hakeem, Now that I’ve met you would you object to never seeing each other again?

first of all, how dare you besmirch the name of Aimee Mann’s best song

was gonna say “Bob Altman and Vilmos Zsigmond didn’t fog up the film negatives they shot McCabe & Mrs Miller on by hand so that the studio wouldn’t have a way to make them change it,” & then I realized oh well right that’s *why* certain people are so invested in telling you AI is inevitable

Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

people always ask me why i drink so much iced coffee. i actually have a genetic condition where my body doesn’t produce it’s own iced coffee. so i have to make my own and drink it every single day.

This is Palmer Raids type stuff here smh

I think somebody once said something about idk the growing good of the world, unhistoric acts, something something the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, something about unvisited tombs maybe

It's very nice that even a single world leader is vocal about not viewing my profession with open contempt.

A university that called the cops on its own peaceful students is now set to be represented by one of them in Congress

DSA election night party ends with Seeger’s “Solidarity Forever,” which attendees continue singing acapella after the music ends. Many continue mingling, much of the conversation being astonishment and unrepentant joy.

Brad come take NY-12 we will greet you as a liberator

BRAD LANDER is, sounds-wise, one of the more satisfying names to yell from one room to another

a hot take for like three people at most but: Sam Reid in The Vampire Lestat is the closest a man in American film or television has ever come to giving a Gena Rowlands performance (and not just because he has her same hair)
