That’s a pretty good likeness considering it was carved out of Spam
Make it stop.
Amen
Why does the world just keep getting worse??
💔😭
Love you,Joe, and love Gus!
Get better soon, Walter
Now look, Mr. Secretary of War, if that really is your name
Is this a Warren Zevon lyric?
File under: artists I love who I abhor (see: David Mamet)
Oh I know. I made it a few years back.
Wish I were there! 🍾🥂🍾🥂
Is this Hamnet?
I understood Mamet better when I realized that in his mind Glengarry Glen Ross wasn’t a satirical indictment, but more akin to a wildlife documentary. Brilliant nonetheless
My old professor David Mamet shows up in Marty Supreme. Although his politics and world view enrage and depress me, I cannot deny my admiration for his best work. What can you do?
Lovely review. I can’t wait to see it.
A lot of the best -- and best-looking -- movies of '25 were shot on film. It ain't dead yet.
Just a few:
Marty Supreme
One Battle After Another
Sinners
Bugonia
The Phoenician Scheme
I saw Spinal Tap perform at house of blues many years ago and they had something like 14 bass players come onstage for Big Bottom
Might be his first syllogism
Totally normal guy winning a totally legit peace prize
Saw it in NYC at the Paris, hard agree
Saw it tonight at The Paris — it’s fantastic! I wish I could watch Josh O’Connor and Daniel Craig solve crimes and debate the existence of God for ten more movies.
I'm BLINDED by the WINNING!
Or, more precisely, I jabbed two forks into my eyes because I can't fucking take it anymore.
I'm starting to wonder if these Trump hires AREN'T the best people?
