iirc, the pairs were randomly drawn, they couldn't choose their partner; and they voted for one person to leave, not the pair, but the person paired with the evicted player had to leave too.

Everyone must choose a new life partner, winning pair will be wed by Mr. Beast

I love that we've all agreed to forget "I Just Called to Say I Love You", there is no more benevolent act of memoryholing.

So once again a man started a wildly successful harassment campaign against a female celebrity who didn’t actually do anything and the internet swallowed it full throated, and the whole thing is revealed to be concocted horseshit he can’t muster anything more than “sorry that happened I guess”

Oh no, look what you've done, teaser, you woke up the bisexuals

Players this season have been afflicted with a virulent case of BIG-MOVE-itis— everyone trying to performatively boost their resume has been quickly eliminated. So Caleb's game is looking good in retrospect because he's the only one who has managed the symptoms. #SurvivorAU

Losing it over the gold-slathered lions

Max von Sydow as a stylish assassin in Three Days of the Condor, tipping his hat at you with a black-gloved hand.

Max von Sydow as Joubert wishes you a very happy #letterboxdfriday

My 4 most recently watched movies, as logged on Letterboxd: Meshes of the Afternoon, Sorcerer, Three Days of the Condor, and Farewell My Concubine.

The urtext of the American avant-garde; a masterpiece of tension and bad vibes; a great paranoid thriller undercut by a creepy-and-not-in-a-good-way romance; and a ravishing historical love triangle— we as a species did not deserve Leslie Cheung.

This take would no longer be bad if you said Top 10

It started when that weasel died in there. Stoat. Whatever it was.

Robert Redford in Three Days of the Condor. He is gobbling a pretzel.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

More than a little bit!

Juxian's madam sits next to a display of jewelry. The caption reads "Let me tell you something. Once a whore, always a whore."

Dieyi, looking gorgeous in full concubine mug. Caption reads 'I haven't learnt the opera "Gangster King and his Whore"'

Things get cunty

Leslie Cheung as Dieyi, standing in front of a red sign smoking a cigarette and wearing a wide-brimmed black hat, the hat game is very strong

Juxian and Dieyi are on opposite sides of the frame, in a jail cell. Each is lit from a high window. On the right, Juxian stands in front of a chair holding a red bouquet. Dieyi is seated on the left with his hands in his lap.

A theater full of broken benches, with several figures vaguely visible on a stage.

Dieyi, in full concubine costume, applies King makeup to Xiaolou. A red flag and upraised fists can be seen in the background.

I mean, just look at this

A ★★★★½ review of Farewell My Concubine (1993) I want to unmask splendiferous beauty and desolate ruin Life is Opera. Beauty is suffering. An aching, sumptuous, blend of history, art, trauma-bonding and queer betrayal where every frame is flawless...

Can't stop thinking about this one. It's ravishing from start to finish. #filmsky

Letterbox is the best social media app because it’s 99% finding cool new movies from friends and 1% like a Free Willy Stan gets mad at you

Lillian Gish wrapping everything up with a paean to the resilience of children is such a weird choice but also kinda perfect? I wanna live in the timeline where Laughton kept directing movies.

alive, sure, but that man is not fine in any sense of the word

Surfer Rosa vs. Doolittle

ME, 8 years ago: sure would be great to have a big gay governor!

Don't let the weird haters get you down, you're one of my favorite accounts over there, you've broadened my watchlist, and I love reading your reviews, even if you criminally underrated If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

The recent Ducournau one? I haven't, but I just put it on my watchlist 😀

My 4 most recently watched movies, as logged on letterboxd: Under the Skin, Rio Bravo, The Worst Person in the World, and Project Hail Mary

Alienating (literally!) and chilly meditation on loneliness; a perfect hang-out movie that even John Wayne couldn't ruin; dismantling the rom-com; and an often cheesy but occasionally spectacular combo of breezy buddy movie with big-ideas epic sci-fi.
