@joereid.bsky.social enjoyed the last eps of THOB Turbulence Brillianc, but I gotta say you have a score keeping problem. You were leading 6-5 the previous episode (I went back and checked), but then in this episode you said you are trailing 6-5. Score should be even 6-6 after your last defeat.

(1/5) MO S2 is out now on Netflix. For 2 hours in January, I spoke with Mo Amer about how October 7 affected the writers' room, how his joyous visits to the West Bank (and the indignity of being airport strip-searched) shaped the finale, & the ceasefire. @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/mo-a...

My ★★★★ review of #Hobal on #Letterboxd boxd.it/8jedfh
Yet another stunning Saudi film, with fantastic performances & a gripping story, though it could benefit from a tighter screenplay to address some rough edges in its plot.

A ★★★★ review of Hobal (2024)
**هذه المراجعة باللغتين العربية والإنجليزية ** **This review is in Arabic and English** هوبال فيلم سعودي آخر مبهر بصرياً، بأداءات رائعة وقصة مشوّقة، لكنه يحتاج إلى نص أقوى يشد الحبكة، يحل بعض المشاكل ...

لأجلك يا مدينة الصلاة اصلي
لاجلك يا بهية المساكن يا زهرة المدائن
يا قدس يا قدس يا قدس يا مدينة الصلاة أصلي
عيوننا إليك ترحل كل يوم ترحل كل يوم
تدور في أروقة المعابد
تعانق الكنائس القديمة
و تمسح الحزن عن المساجد

My ★★★½ review of Totally Killer on Letterboxd boxd.it/4YB08v
Filmsky📽️
Review of ‘Totally Killer’ (2023) ★★★½
This is a fun slasher horror/comedy with a time travel twist. It's fun, and breezy, but it's lacking when it comes to imaginative kills. Kiernan Shipka is an appealing lead, but the film could have…

Review of ‘Polite Society’ (2023) ★★★½
Since we still have to wait a little longer for a second series of "We are Lady Parts", this crazy movie from Nida Manzoor has to do for now. It's demented at times, often funny, full of silly gags…

Not gonna lie, NSYNC's new song Better Place is a bop, and a bundle of joy. Don't tell me the 90s are back, the 90s never left!
