not a single fleeting hint, even in ambiguous passing, that the merger might be bad for anyone, anywhere

Soderbergh has made like 40 films, and like 30 of them are 7/10.

The fucks are at it again.

It is weird to think that once a week for 8 years I watched Richard Roeper talk about movies, then At the Movies ended and I never thought of him again. Glad he got a new job though!

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

He does deserve an award for most appropriate profile image imaginable

looks like he also used AI to make himself look like both of the South Park guys simultaneously

Have you been to the kids section of a bookstore lately?

A review of Wavelength (1967) I think that because experimental films are such liminal experiences, we often start by describing the more tangible aspects of them: specifically the details of our screening circumstances. (My most ...

Enjoyed watching Wavelength for the 1st time. Found a lot of pleasure in it, and not at all the arduous experience some who had to watch it for a class have described.

The best!

A telling data point for how #SCOTUS's docket has shifted:

From the last major jurisdictional reforms in June 1988 to August 2004, the Court granted certiorari "before judgment" (leapfrogging the federal courts of appeals) a total of 3 times.

8/2004–2/2019: 0 grants.

He’s terrible and annoying in Marty Supreme, but so much worse in real life.

Hope that movie loses in every category because it made me learn this fucker exists.

Former Pixar employee u/PixelatedRonin fires back at chief creative officer Pete Docter on Reddit over claims on LGBT storyline cut from 'Elio' (2025):

First off: I voted for Harris.

Entertainment journalists need to start asking DiCaprio about his relationship with Bezos.

I love Leo’s movies, but the fucker needs to be put on blast.

You don’t get to pay lip service to revolution while palling around with Grand Moff Tarkin.

One of most surprising things about the Epstein files so far is that Bill Maher isn’t in them.

Screenshot of tweet from Huberman that reads: “The other is that dog breeds w/different shaped heads are predictive of their demeanor and intelligence. And while I don’t! believe in Phrenology I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.”

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

I have at least one former friend that fits this hypothesis

Ugh, I’m sorry.
