"How do we explain that this new actor playing James Bond is also James Bond and not a different guy? Oh, yes, I'm still learning to tie my shoes, I'm pretty close, I think."

Last night’s film, OUTLAND (1981). In the period between Bond & his late 1980s renaissance as older sex symbol, Sean Connery did some really Interesting films. Solid mix of low-fi SF, western & bad town noir. Could argue Connery at his best when he wasn’t firm in his footing, as seems the case here

LOT going on here obviously so i will add my own specialist knowledge, which is the penguin classics versions of the odyssey and iliad are terrible prose translations that do not benefit from being read aloud

Tired: the political center is a moderate, even-handed middle ground, the best of both sides, the Goldilocks Zone, things of that nature

Wired: the asshole, where all the shit is, is the center of the ass

Barry Lyndon, because of the candlelight, the tunes, and making an entire-ass three-hour movie about a guy who just kinda sucks* is 🤌

All I need is a couple million bucks and Eva Green's rep's contact info so I can film the long-delayed IN THE SHADE, then I can fulfill this promise.

The worst thing I had to deal with today was the two seconds after I misheard someone saying "Sam Altman" as "Sammo Hung" and going "he did WHAT" before "oh, right...."

So, a good day, but damn.

If you’re a normal person who doesn’t pay attention to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, you probably aren’t aware of the bizarre goings on between the Hall and 2025 inductee Chubby Checker.

My earliest memories of Chuck Schumer were of him sending Anthony Weiner to PTA meetings (my mom: "he looks like his scenes got cut from REVENGE OF THE NERDS") and being heavily disappointed that he actually showed up and gave a loooooong speech at my HS graduation. All downhill since.

As others have pointed about PREDATOR: BADLANDS, the entirety of Terrence Malick's filmography works with "PREDATOR:" in front of it.

I have to say, KAT's move where he commits eight offensive fouls, yams it on the guy's head, and then bellows a heroic poem about himself is growing on me
