When he did his Southern Accents album critics were like, Tom you’re from Florida, that doesn’t make you a Southerner

Old timey obscene phone caller breathing

The third DCU movie is an R-rated horror movie, meanwhile the MCU is tacking a few minutes onto Avengers: Endgame that you need to watch as homework to understand Doomsday

Extremely Online: 'Antitrust' Our new column on films in the internet age looks back at time when Bill Gates was the boogeyman of Silicon Valley.

For The Reveal, I started up a new column type today called "Extremely Online" that digs into films about the internet age, from the '90s to the present. First up is ANTITRUST, a thriller about the deadly allergens of Bill Gates and sesame seeds: thereveal.film/extremely-on...

Yeah I tend to look at aging and mortality through the prism of musicians I’ve listened to over the course of a lifetime way more than movie stars or whatever else

He looks fine but there’s still the double take moment when you see what a rock star you haven’t thought about in twenty years looks like now

They got their asses kicked in a war that happened almost 200 years ago and they're still obsessing about it every minute of the day, yearning for the good old days of the antebellum south and slavery

Quentin Tarantino talks about how directing is a young man’s game but the 1980s saw three legendary directors go out with masterpieces. Bresson’s L’Argent, Leone’s Once Upon A Time in America and Huston’s The Dead

Since I was on team boycott Scream 7 I can’t justify going to see Michael this weekend. Honestly tho the thing most keeping me away is the toxicity of the Jackson fanbase

Everyone in L’Argent is insanely good looking. There’s a scene in a prison cafeteria and all the prisoners look like Bresson got them from a male modeling agency.

Well, I guess it is possible then that he’s taken half as many days off as Hoover. But then Hoover didn’t run off to the Olympics to get hammered with the US hockey team while there was a high profile kidnapping investigation going on

“This director has been on the job twice as many days as every one before me. I've taken half as many days off.”

Class, for today’s story problem, if FBI Director Kash Patel has worked twice as many days as anyone else and taken half as many days off . . .

Usually there’s a big buildup of excitement and anticipation before the World Cup. But this go round it looks like FIFA and the Trump administration are doing everything they can to ruin the experience

Watched Robert Bresson’s L’Argent (1983) Dumbass kids pass a counterfeit bill kicking off a downward spiral into hell. Richard Hell said Bresson’s The Devil, Probably (1977) was the most punk movie ever made. L’Argent feels like a post-punk movie. It’s got one of the best last shots I’ve ever seen

When I was at the AMC in times square everyone started cheering and whooping when Nicole Kidman came on. Are they still doing that in your area?

I’m not really getting people saying Antoine Fuqua was robbed of releasing the version of Michael he intended as if he’s Orson Welles losing The Magnificent Ambersons. I don’t know if I want to see a movie that exonerates a sexual predator

That’s like in Please Kill Me when someone says the difference between Iggy Pop and Lou Reed is that Iggy Pop read Dostoyevsky while Lou Reed pretended to have read Dostoyevsky

The Tonight Show is built to liquify all phenomena into content. Trump, the political reactionary and demagogue, the harbinger of a crisis, was treated not as a threat to democracy or a figure of public concern, but just another wacky celebrity guest willing to play along. Fallon and his show are not horrifying because they are malevolent, actively creating suffering in the world, but because of a thoughtless, systematic refusal to perceive any of their work as having ethical consequences. Trump’s monstrosity becomes merely eccentric, as neoliberal media packaged as entertainment normalizes a failing status quo.

This is such a great encapsulation of the horror of the Tonight Show.

He’s mainly the left wing version of Catturd. If you know who he is, you’re spending too much time online

Michael is getting panned from all the critics you’ve heard of and the ones giving it raves are all like influencers who must’ve got free posters or something

Watched Smithereens the day after watching The Devil Wears Prada and NYC sure changed a lot between 1982 and 2006 though the basic plot is the same, a young woman tryin’ to make it in the big city

A Night at the Opera is solid from start to finish. But it’s not as if there’s a Led Zeppelin IV or Back in Black in their catalog

I'm afraid with his family history it's not happening anytime soon and we're stuck for a decade or two of his brain turning increasingly into mush

That's never going to happen because Trump is never going to be in a tomato garden playing with a grandchild.

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

‘The grift seemed almost too obvious, but to Sam’s astonishment, he says the account “blew up.”

“Every Reel I posted was getting 3 million views, 5 million views, 10 million views. The algorithm loved it.”’

It’s going to be like the end of The Godfather, isn’t it. We’re going to resume bombing Iran while Trump is reading his Bible passage

Even though video stores don’t exist anymore and there can’t be much of a demand for them, they’re still making mockbuster versions of the big new movies

"If you told me at twelve years old that, in the future, you could see an eyeball lovingly skewered by a zombie or someone’s head being bisected in all its uncut gory glory by a grinning George Eastman—in 4K no less—I wouldn’t have believed you."
