Making friends through scolding since 1976!

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Quoting Tinashe in the lede for a Kristoffer Borgli film is the most Katie Walsh thing you've done in a minute.

Oh, I'm sorry about this, Marya. It's such a specific sadness, to lose a pet. She's a beauty.

Worthy Films for Trans Day of Visibility This TDOV, I'm sharing a list of trans-made films to add to your watch list.

People often ask me for trans cinema starter recs. Here’s a list for #TDOV. ❤️

Rent a movie and put some money in a trans filmmaker’s pocket today!

I gave that a like for your perspective, not your loss. (Goes without saying but still worth saying!)

This is so awesome! And of course you have a script about a hand with a thirst for revenge. I loved Watcher, consider me seated opening weekend!

Oh noooooo…. My only laugh setting is “scream”, it’s true. 😂

No surprise that the addition of Dan Waters as a GM led to maybe the most quotable draft ever. This was fun! And stressful! The Screen Drafts way!

I like the “we’ve been at war with iran for 40 years” talking point because by implication surviving members of the reagan bush natsec team should be tried for treason

Peck and Trillian, black cat sisters

Steven! It’s the best club to be in! Those sweet babies are lucky to have you and vice versa.

(This came up for "ships passing in the night", a perfect search result.)

Oh my god! We were in the same space at the same time and I STILL didn't get a chance to give you and @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social hugs/high fives IRL???

Have you heard about the new A24 kinda-rom-com about gay BDSM biker culture? That’s PILLION, starring Alexander Skarsgaard and Harry Melling, and we’re thrilled to have our friend @naylandblake.bsky.social riding with us! #filmsky

"Anglo derived culture from our history"... STFU, my guy. In general I'm more incensed over the leaders swollen with authoritarian righteousness, but the amount of absolute mouth breathers they've promoted is wild.

Picture of a gray haired woman wearing a shirt that reads on the back “come see my daughter’s film A Woman’s Work at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2/11 at 11:20am 2/12 6:20pm I am a Jewish mother seeking a girlfriend/future wife for my filmmaker daughter (she is multilingual and has an adorable dog). Please inquire with me”

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

Macbeth: SHIT

As our guest @kristenklopez.bsky.social sagely observes, you never know what's gonna be weaponized next in Sam Raimi's SEND HELP! We had a blast talking about this movie and comparing notes on our favorite (literal) "desert island movies". #filmsky

I saw this late last night and wanted to send it to you at a more reasonable hour, you were first person I thought of! A masterclass.

There's normally only one juror for NEXT (an odd number of people!), which is such a fun/strange twist on "jury".

Now entering The Bone Temple: @jordanmorris.bsky.social We're talking 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. This time Nia DaCosta is in the director's chair, the needle drops are hitting, and the kids (and their wigs) are not alright. Plus a Hotline Call about food movies!

Freedom Now!: a starter pack of 24 films about the Civil Rights Movement and Black liberation • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Robert Daniels recommends 24 films that shed light on the Civil Rights Movement and the ongoing fight for Black liberation in America.

For MLK Day on @letterboxd.social I decided to do a list of essential Civil Rights and Black Liberation movies.

Stand With Minnesota A directory of places to give to as Minnesota defends itself from ICE occupation

The images and stories coming out of my beloved homestate enrage or inspire me (or both)... community action and support is what will get us through. If you also feel powerless but want to help, I recommend this mutual aid and materials directory.

I saw Kayo at the Spirit Awards Nominee Brunch last weekend and my immediate reaction was to hide from his gaze lest he target me.

"I think you've still got lightning in you."

Wes Anderson, man. That quote could be in so many of his films. Loved the excuse to rewatch these films and talk about them in detail, and found it heartening that all the tears shed were not just my own.

To quote a great movie, Billy Ray, I’m on your side.

Live: Mayor Frey blasts ICE in fiery response to fatal shooting The mayor called for calm after a fatal shooting by an immigration agent in south Minneapolis. ICE said the agent acted defensively.

This murder by ICE is horrific and expected, and their violence will continue accelerating because everything from their (minimal) training to their orders prioritizes aggression without any regard to humanity. Get them off the streets and start prosecuting them.

Marya (an incredible advocate for women making films) gets at the heart of things in this thread, as it’s even more frustrating than the headline. There are so many talented female directors out there pushing hard to make indies, but they aren’t given the same shot at the big leagues.
