Hey, I'm on Letterboxd. Let's talk shit about movies together here. I'm going to be really annoying about superheroes, coming of age comedies, and exploitation classics.

This Chicago O'Hare flight is awful. Pretty much on the tarmac the whole time due to the government shutdown.

I'm back here in this cursed no-show site to talk about Coachella. @tombreihan.bsky.social was brilliant in his analysis of the fest poster, and how it speaks to Where We Are Now™. There really is nothing left of the monoculture, is there?

I can't scream "nope" loud enough. I want actual people to make things for me so I can share them with other people and thank the creators for doing good work.

So when I heard the Colbert news, my first thought was that it would make a great Studio 60 arc, and I hated myself for it.

SUPERMAN is a great and welcome trip to a different world at the movies. It's filled with characters that want to do the right thing, whatever the cost, and it reminds us that optimism is preferable to political gamesmanship and segmenting of lives as pawns. Plus, Krypto and Jimmy Olsen rule.

I also have a complicated background, so seeing this crusade against Mamdani really pisses me off.
I love that former NYT public editor @sulliview.bsky.social is public-editing from the outside.
"With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani.
"And no lofty explanation about the mission can disguise it."

Hell is real, and we're living in it.
Breaking: Boston, Atlanta and Brooklyn are finalizing a three-team trade that sends Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick to the Hawks, Terance Mann and Atlanta's No. 22 pick to the Nets, and Georges Niang and a second-rounder to the Celtics, sources tell Shams Charania.

I loved Better Man. Yes, I loved the Robbie Williams CGI monkey movie. It's one of the best depictions of depression I have seen onscreen, and it is a wildly entertaining bit of fiction that contains some universal truths. It deserves more than some write-off about its box office.

A vital piece by @nathangrayson.bsky.social that feels so needed right now. It reminds me of Joan Didion's "Los Angeles Notebook," which makes me think that this sort of description of LA and its people will get retold with great accuracy each decade.

That moment where you know something can't be real, but dammit if the past decade hasn't proven that we're far past whatever reality we can muster.
