Happy #LetterboxdFriday, #filmsky! My #LastFourWatched include Cast a Deadly Spell, the classic Lovecraftian noir HBO movie starring the great Fred Ward, and Murder By Contract, a low budget hitman movie that heavily influenced the work of one Mr. Martin Scorsese.

Whistle isn't bad and it benefits tremendously from a (mostly) very likeable core group of kids

A ★★★ review of Whistle (2025)
Perfectly fine cursed object/Final Destination mashup. You mostly know exactly what to expect here but the core group of kids (save one) are so likeable that you actually want to see them make it out alive. My biggest complaint would be that the movie is loud and shrill but it's called Whistle so I don't know what the fuck I was expecting.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday, #Filmsky. Here are my #LastFourWatched. Obviously you should check out the new Muppet Show to boost its profile. Also, try to catch The Sea Wolf before it leaves HBO at the end of the month.

Parappa AI podcast: Wow, you just gotta BELIEVE but maybe not in the hoax of the holocaust
(Sony cancels podcast initiative)
Sony has patented the idea of AI-generated podcasts hosted by characters from its games.

The idea would see players getting their own bespoke podcasts on their console, telling them what's new, hosted by the characters of the games they've been playing.

The normal reaction to learning the girl in the movie you thought was hot is actually 15-16 should be wanting to scrub yourself in broken glass, not running to the internet to post pictures of her while screaming "I'M NOT A PEDOPHILE!"
Yes, @mattyglesias.bsky.social has also argued, in The Atlantic (of course), that older men pursuing sexual relationships with sixteen year olds is not pedophilia.

Bought this painting at goodwill today and I’m gonna fill it with animal crossing villagers. Donate at least $50 to the campaign below and put your favorite villager in the “dedicated to” field and I’ll add it to the painting until I run out of room.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday, #filmsky. Here are my #LastFourWatched. Highlights: Rachel McAdams throws her whole back into Send Help and I finally got around to Bringing Out the Dead after avoiding it for years and it turns out this Scorsese guy is a pretty good director.

Hey, look at this asshole thinking people should know how their money is spent.
The City’s Budget is our future. And you deserve to know how it works.

This was a lot of fun and Rachel McAdams continues to be one of our most reliable actors when it comes to making good movies great.

A ★★★★★ review of Girl with Hyacinths (1950)
Watching this through a 2026 lens the solution to the core "mystery" as it were is obvious from the jump but that's not really the point, is it? A beautiful, sad film.
