I'd love to read someone's rambling 10,000+ word essay/weird blog post covering Yorgos Lanthimos flicks/esoterica.

And some people gave us shit for Don’t Look Up being too over the top.

Man oh man do I wish it was.

Call me naive but I like to imagine not every single dime of the taxes my family pays goes to Israel to bomb hospitals and schools.

Some of it has to go to subsidies for big oil companies and missiles to blow up fishing boats in the Caribbean right?

Red Lobster: Fuck It, We Ball

@tolkoto.com They closed the Dave and Buster's we went to when you skipped the Warcraft afterparty!

It’s been a really, really bad week for trans people.

The onslaught of anti-trans news has ranged from feckless to insidious, with a huge overlap between the two.

The only response I have to any of it:

"(...) when folks vehemently decry the use of camp, maybe they should take a step back and consider what it is exactly they are so firmly disavowing. Because sometimes, even if inadvertently, it feels like a firm stance on behalf of that which is considered safe, normative, and status quo."

This is so fucking funny dude.

Look, it can't cure your depression, anxiety, or general unease... but have you considered picking up 2 fat burritos just in case?

A scary lady with exaggerated makeup lying on a pillow on her side MONSTROUS MUSINGS "Camp" Is Not A Dirty Word By Michael Varrati (Editor's note: This week I'm passing the Monstrous Musings mic to my friend and colleague, filmmaker Michael Varrati. We've been commenting on the state of the industry via text and phone calls for years, and a piece of news this week sparked an interesting dialogue, so l encouraged Michael to write down his thoughts about it. He did not disappoint! - PN)

Artists and audience alike, it's time we had a talk: "Camp" is not a dirty word. @philnobilejr.bsky.social graciously allowed me space in this week's Monstrous Musings to share my thoughts/defense of this important artistic tool! Go read: manage.kmail-lists.com/subscription...

There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who love 1992's Freejack and those who haven't yet seen 1992's Freejack to love it.

You will never convince me that Letterboxd remotely compares to sprawling Blogspot reviews/movie posts from 2000-2014 written by Gen X/elder Millennial LA cinephiles.

Reacher star Alan Ritchson filmed allegedly assaulting neighbor Video allegedly shows actor striking a man in front of actor’s kids in what looks like a suburban Tennessee neighborhood

I aspire to the level of Suburban Brain Excellence required to start a physical fight with Jack Reacher because you perceive him to be in violation of HOA bylaws. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

Patiently waiting for Saving Silverman to enter the Criterion Collection...

When the group chat mentioned The Dead Zone today, I learned that I have a religious-level devotion to David Cronenberg and I felt the need to GO OFF on recommending his entire filmography.

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.

Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.

Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.

These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran?

Does anyone really believe that?

i'll apply but only if i can be assigned to the x-files

I think it's deeply weird that studios will tell us three years in advance what a film's theatrical date is, but they treat digital release dates as closely guarded secrets until the moment they happen.

Man the "gamergate destroyed society" ppl have been vindicated like a zillion times over the past year

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

What appears to be a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field is actually a normal sized praying mantis that's actually sitting on my windshield

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

Man, if I stumble into making tens of millions of dollars I hope I have the good sense to shut the fuck up and build a bunch of libraries and fund food banks so when I check out peoples first response isn’t “So, that asshole’s done.”

The bar. It is SO LOW.

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Vance's conduct this week is obviously impeachable. I'm talking about his public conduct. Whatever private murder coverup he's participating in is what you find out once you start impeachment.

Really fun group discussion over on Twitter about what “murder” actually is. Learning a lot!

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Watch the fucking video. Grow up.

I consider this a shared award for her work in STREETS OF FIRE.
