Hoo, boy. Someone just put #Transformers (2007) on a shared #TV, & I'm pretty sure I've seen this, but also, maybe not.

I pretty adeptly avoided all #Bayhem after getting suckered into a #BadBoys once (fool me once... we can't get fooled again), so this may actually be my 1st viewing...

Some people find my prose challenging. That's OK! It's good for them. @egyptttt.bsky.social is grappling w/ our latest piece, on #AHouseofDynamite, & seems to be struggling with it.

That's all right! We don't judge anyone for an inability to read. That's not their fault!

I'm not embittered! 🤣

I'm just p sure a lot of people involved w/ #AHouseofDynamite, from screenwriter Noah Oppenheim to director Kathryn Bigelow to now #filmcritic Stephanie Zacherek, had ChatGPT help them w/ their assignments 🤓

If I were bitter, could I write THIS? medium.com/cinemania/ea...

60% of the time, it works every time 😅

This is true, though. I do this. I just did this. It worked... okay. It does allay some suspicion.

And, naturally, draws some suspicion, as well.

Kind of as you'd expect.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off...

I often waltz into rooms REEKING of #legalweed, & it's occasionally inappropriate or off-putting.

So, to cover or compensate for this frequent occurrence, I'll look absolutely frfr disgusted & shout accusatorily, 'JESUS CHRIST, someone in here REEKS of WEED! GOOD Lord!' & it's me obviously 🤣

Ooh, if you say 'PRE-face' rather than the correct 'preface' that's gonna be ROUGH for you, in terms of my estimation

Not saying any names. #Astrum. Yikes 😬

I think this dude has the model he hired read his byline, "I'm [his name]" but it's NOT that guy whose name it is 🤣

DYK new #BlueSky friend @caroleeena.bsky.social has a #SubStack?

We were quite taken with this piece "The Mass Psychosis of Totalitarianism and how to RESIST IT!!" which is, nfn, quite similar to things we've published lately: open.substack.com/pub/caroleee...

Check it out! Quality 🤩

The Mass Psychosis of Totalitarianism and How to RESIST IT!
According to “The Rape of the Mind” manipulating and reorganizing collective feelings via propaganda is a tool totalitarians use to induce mass psychosis and control people.

Working on our #Transformers #moviereview now, and woof. This one was worst than we remembered, if in fact we had seen this before. Still unclear.

1 shot of this #film (that being #2Guns) has tension escalating as more gangsters rack rounds & point guns at a dude's head, but...

The 3rd guy to do it is now pointed (through victim's head, but still) AT the 2nd guy, vice-versa, & it's like a #comedy sketch 🤣

A ★★ review of 2 Guns (2013)
Because of Mark Wahlberg, you'd THINK I would hate this... ... and I do. It's dreadful. But, BOY, there might be no one in the business better than Denzel Washington at just doing some bullshit acting...

If you can find me a worse, dumber #tagline than this one for #2Guns, I'd be fuckin shocked:

"NEVER ROB A BANK ACROSS FROM A DINER WITH THE BEST DONUTS IN THREE COUNTIES."

Great work! Taglines are hard, aren't they? 😆

Find me a worse one, #FilmSky! 🤓

HOLY shit, the montage ending of this #movie, which I found to be so cringey & embarrassing as to be unwatchable (I literally hid my face, & went, 'oh nooooo'), just got a standing ovation from multiple #men at #PorchLight 😳

Nobody tell her, bc that wouldn't be cool, but I think Desi Lydic is the coolest, funniest, prettiest lady in the world, & I've got a big crush on her 🤩

Nfn, she's where I get a lot of my #news & #snark from, & I admire her, which is what makes her so crushable 😅

Well, thank you for reading! 🤓

That's the coolest, because that's a bunch of stuff referring to the END of the article, which, like, good work, obv that impresses me, lol.

Here's that article, now we've teased it: medium.com/cinemania/ea...

"The picture is precise, potent and ingeniously constructed."

She's on #BlueSky.

I say your review, like the movie #AHouseOfDynamite was written by ChatGPT. What say you, @szacharek.bsky.social?

Read my brief, contemptuous #moviereview 1st, though: medium.com/cinemania/ea...

Very proud of this #AHouseofDynamite #MovieReview that #Cinemania (somehow) pubbed, even though I call Noah Oppenheim 'a bitch & an abject disgrace to the profession & craft of #writing.'

Easily the worst script committed to the screen this year (and maybe ever)
Netflix’s A House of Dynamite arguably doesn't have a screenplay, but what it does have is dreadful and insulting

This is kind of hilarious...

I think I'm just incapable of being content or satisfied.

Bc I was such a squeaky-wheel, I got my editorial review process accelerated, pushing my #MovieReview of #AHouseofDynamite off top/Latest #Cinemania spot an hr later when a GOSPEL-CENTERED REVIEW took 1st... 😑

🎶The waiting is the hardest part🎶

Submitted this #AHouseofDynamite #MediumStory to #Cinemania, & Gaby told me after 5th email to note some new minor correction that I should chill tf out, so now I'm JUST waiting (and still making minor changes).

I'm the worst, lol. I think the work benefits, tho!

I'm actually delighted and super-flattered by 'a puppy with thumbs,' which I think is a way nicer characterization than what most people would offer, especially when pressed 🤣

There's good stuff in this #Transformers #LiveSky #moviereview, but not many have seen it (well... not many have engaged w/ the posts therein, which is, granted, a different thing)

Actually, how many people, I wonder, even DO browse thru the #BlueSky live-tweet #filmreviews AS multi-part stories? 🤔
Hoo, boy. Someone just put #Transformers (2007) on a shared #TV, & I'm pretty sure I've seen this, but also, maybe not.
