If this were made in the 70s, it’d be titled THE PETROVA LINE: Redford starring, no Earth backstory, whimsy swapped 1:1 for solitary space madness, focused entirely on radiation poisoning. After texting the whole film, Rocky jankily appears onscreen 5 mins before the credits.
now this i've finished this, I can say that while this movie gives good 'Yada Yada', these filmmakers have very different ideas of what constitutes 'a big problem worth digging into' than I do. last 40 min were totally different than where I thought it would naturally go
feel this - the rise of 'reddit humor' as a derisive critique, detached from any specific example...we used to have textbooks on this very subject, citations and everything

Everyone loves NASA missions so much. It’s not just because it’s space travel it’s because there is a sense that we are doing something collectively that isn’t purely evil vs. 20 exploding SpaceX rockets that dump garbage in poor Texas communities and low orbit that everyone forgets an hour later.
Slayyyter...so refreshing to hear an album that is proudly mean. theatrically mean, with taunting, flair. lay it on thick, we're in a drought
I find JURY DUTY to still be way too satisfied writing a mediocre OFFICE comedy and not nearly satisfied enough with like, convincing a grown man he has a real job at a place that does not exist. To hell with the jokes, show me when his paycheck clears, I'd rather see mundane logistics like that
so in PROJECT HAIL MARY, is Rocky like...'Ryan Gosling-level hot' on the planet they're from? the entire movie should have been about this symmetry
somebody pulled the fire alarm at Scotiabank while there was 40 minutes left to go in PROJECT HAIL MARY, so everyone please don't spoil any of the five different endings while I catch up another day

this is the greatest day of my life
Michael Mann was definitely 17 years old when this movie was released, and yet, at the same time, he was definitely born the day it came out.
watching LE TROU (1960), about a French prison break in 1947. prisoners wearing turtle neck sweaters, leather jackets, sharp button downs. they got on clothes that would cost $500 cad easy today, sick
don’t know about can, but it should
watched JANE B FOR AGNÈS V last night. amazing movie. I'm pretty sure I've become Canadian in the same way Jane Birkin just seamlessly went from English to French. totally the same thing
can not believe how many substacks now *email* me to *watch* their latest *podcast*. what are we doing perverting the sanctity of the email zone, that's for the written word only, are you lost this isn't my voicemail
every season of Blue Jays baseball begins the same: I question why Ace (the mascot) has a son named Junior, but they never mention who his mother is. I then harass everyone in the organization demanding to know where she is, until I get this letter in the mail
you know how TBS plays A CHRISTMAS STORY for 24 hours straight on Christmas? Opening Day baseball should play 'The Boys are Back in Town' going into every commercial break, the whole game.
I get that terrestrial tv is in a unfixable state (especially in Canada) but somebody has gotta buy up more ad space because I can not sit through another "Ontario/Canada is creating JOBS and JOBS are SECURITY and if you don't have a JOB you don't EXIST" commercial break
fka Twigs: one of the more bizarre stadium shows I've been to. 65% full, everyone standing wherever they want, a dance show where people are wearing gloves because the heat wasn't on, awesome choreo, both incredibly high energy with incredibly jarring momentum killing breaks.
have you ever kept up a conspiracy board in your place? just finishing this season of THE LOWDOWN and feel like I'm really missing out by not being friends with someone who would keep up a conspiracy board
for reasons beyond my comprehension, they only allow 3 employees to work at a time in grocery stores now. The guy at the <15 item checkout who does almost nothing, the guy at self-checkout who does **nothing**, and the one checkout counter that does everything, very slowly.
the inventor of 'putting whipped ricotta on a pizza' walks among us, unrecognized. this is like finding out a sitting senator was born before the invention of the chocolate chip cookie
who decided BTS and BlackPink needed reheated diplo/dr luke leftovers to make a comeback in 2026. they were making bigger hits than those losers almost a decade ago, why deliberately flop like this
One of these centuries they need to stop wasting Delroy Lindo's time
favourite / least favourite new movies I saw in (or just after) 2025 letterboxd.com/speedinuptos...
fake timothee scandal coming in late means it's already over, he's a lock. Teyana's the funnest hang, lock. Jessie, a lock. Sean Penn winning a third Oscar is insane, Delroy come from behind victory. SV for international. OBAA lock for BP/editing/directing/cinematography. good night
Calbee Frugra High Fiber Crunchy Granola Cereal With Dried Fruits
the best minds at kellog and general mills have never conceived of a cereal this pure, virtuous and morally good, and this is why america has fallen into the gutter
if you want to find the latest small victory article about how AI doesn't work, there is no better place than bluesky. can't miss it if you tried (and I really try after the first 6 or 7 hundred times it comes up)
