Early in the year, buzz about Sentimental Value started circulating as an early awards frontrunner during festival season. Heard basically nothing about it until it just quietly dropped locally so it was just building hype the whole time, to unrealistic expectations.

It was better than that.

So often I was thinking while watching 28 Years Later: I wish I had the option to watch this on a bigger screen.

Go see it.

Obligatory post Andor Rogue One watch

if you'd like to see a wide re-release of Hundreds of Beavers in theaters this year, one night only, in thousands of cities — repost this. we've got some doubters.

Modern continues to be the stove I keep touching expecting it to be not hot everytime RCQ season rolls around.

This is unreal, what a boss

Watched Vamps with friends, what a film

So far this friend group’s movie track record is:
1)Hot Frosty
2)Megalopolis
3)Vamps

It occurs to me that if I wanted more free shit on my birthday I probably shouldn't have blanket refused all those email subscription things that every corporation has.

Well, I'm doomed.

Came in 9th, but r5 was a win and in. Kellan was very bad, and apparently there are more Shelteted By Ghosts than I expected. Need to win more die rolls.

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.
