The weekend is here & @uncleloo.bsky.social & I are #Oscars2026 ready with our @letterboxd.social ballots! We're each doing a wishlist and a predictions copy.

This is the first year in a very long time that I'm actually following the awards & interested in the outcome. #TeamSinners all the way!

Old gangster movies made me think it’d be fun to demand money, but writing out invoices proves me wrong every time.

And that's it for another wonderful #FThisMovieFest. It's past 7am, so I'm going to do upsetting things to my bed. Thanks a bunch to @patrickbromley.bsky.social & @fthismovie.bsky.social for arranging this nutty endeavor. See you folks on the other side.

That kid is a narc. I can see it in his wee baby peepers. #FThisMovieFest

That teardrop mask is badassimus maximus. #FThisMovieFest

Don't sniff the pit dirt, Maximus. It smells like man-foot and despair. #FThisMovieFest

At the very least, Commodus & Lucilla have done hand stuff. #FThisMovieFest

Turns out they were entertained. Feel like a dick now, Maxijerk? #FThisMovieFest

Derek Jacobi doesn't need Shakespeare to sound Shakespearean. #FThisMovieFest

Oliver Reed. Mad man. Booze hound. Nightmare. Fucking legend. #FThisMovieFest

They let the chickens live. That's *something*. #FThisMovieFest

You're not gonna be emperor, CommoDUHs! #FThisMovieFest

Tommy Flanagan! 'Sup my guy? #FThisMovieFest

He's a Spaniard, so technically, it's pronounced Maxthimuth. #FThisMovieFest

Phoenix is still in his cheeky, nervous "8mm" mode. #FThisMovieFest

Marcus Aurelius: "50 points for Gryffindor!!" #FThisMovieFest

The flaming sword stuck in the tree is fucking magnificent filmmaking. #FThisMovieFest

Nobody does this shit better than Ridley Scott. #FThisMovieFest

And so we approach the last movie of this year’s #FThisMovieFest with two forms of liquid courage...

☕️ Capulus Maximus

Let the Gladiator games begin!

This is such a movie star opening. #FThisMovieFest

Sepia Dreamworks, because olden times. #FThisMovieFest

The huddle speech is an absolutely fantastic bit of screenwriting. #FThisMovieFest
