40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Ryan Lattanzio on "Screen Talk": "I went to see PREDATOR: BADLANDS and it's horrible!" He can't figure out why so many of his colleagues love it. I thought the same of PREY, which was similarly acclaimed, so I'll probably skip this one (unless my boys want to watch it with me).

Maybe the movie of the year. DC folks: It’s at Landmark Bethesda, Atlantic Plumbing and a theater in Leesburg, the name of which escapes me.
TRAIN DREAMS is out in limited theatrical release today. It will be on Netflix in a couple of weeks, but here's the thing: If you are at all able to, you really should see it on a big screen. You will not regret it.

Train Dreams Is a Staggering Work of Art
Netflix is releasing one of the best films of the year but please, for the love of God, don’t watch this masterpiece on your phone.

Another Friday off and I am watching HARD TRUTHS. Remember when Marianne Jean-Baptiste wasn’t even nominated for the Best Actress Oscar?

People say Bluesky came into its own on the day certain widely hated figures died, but I, not liking such celebrations, hereby declare that Bluesky came into its own today in the wake of the Sandwich-man verdict. Sandwich puns! This is the content that sets Bluesky apart!

Tonight's free member movie at Angelika was LITTLE AMELIE OR THE CHARACTER OF RAIN, and it is a delight - childlike yet dealing with deeply existential questions about God and death. GKIDS has another winner on its hands.

One of the most important things I thought I should post about today is that I have discovered a new favorite flavor of beef jerky. What’s yours?

I'm not quite as high on BLUE MOON as Mark is (although I liked it), but a big yes to what he writes here about NOUVELLE VAGUE, which is delightful.
I just saw Nouvelle Vague and loved it--a movie about the creation of a great work of art that feels (aptly) casual, tossed-off, impolite, just as Blue Moon is a movie about theater that feels (aptly) like good theater. I don't think anyone in movies is having a better year than Richard Linklater.

I know the book's title includes the word "Prayers," but it's wild to me to see an ad for a Matthew McConaughey book in ... Christianity Today. (I did read his previous book, fwiw.)

What a list! Hey @eddiepasa.bsky.social, remember when I texted you from Maine, where I was watching #4 on Walter's list and just *had* to tell someone about it right then and there? Hope you eventually caught up with it. Anyway, tremendous list - claimed with authority, as I've actually seen most!

Yes! Saw this on Scream TV a couple of years ago and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Wife declared earlier this week that for the first time ever we “aren’t doing Halloween” candy-giving-out. I don’t love this but am embracing my suddenly open night by going to the movies. Sorry, kids. Don’t egg our house, ‘k?

This is a great read.
‘During a four or five-year period at the turn of the millennium, I went to the cinema around six hundred times. I wasn’t a film critic or even an aspiring director. I was just a schoolboy and, in my parents’ probably loving description, a “weirdo”.’
