Sight & Sound is the only one I like because it's a challenge. It says "don't tell me about the best movies until you've seen more. Whatever you've seen, watch more"

I enjoy Rian Johnson but it feels like if he can retool the character for Peter Dinklage then he could write a new original show for Dinklage. And people would watch because it's Peter Dinklage.

tell you what, it's a fucking terrible time to have even one molecule of human empathy. I have moments where I think that.

And then I read something like this, by the great @mskellymhayes.bsky.social (GET HER EXCELLENT NEW BOOK) and I know I need to move organizingmythoughts.org/we-have-to-m...

They remind me of Dr Cox and Jordan on Scrubs who, when they realized they were still married, divorced to save their relationship

Agree with Jurassic Park, especially when 3 broke up Dr. Grant and Dr. Saddler and it took to the end of the Jurassic World to get them back together.

Pirates of the Caribbean is one I would add. A movie based on a disney ride that shouldn't have worked but ended up a fun time. no sequels needed.

For me:
Phantom Thread
The Master
There Will Be Blood
Boogie Nights
Hard Eight
Licorice Pizza
Inherent Vice
Punch-Drunk Love
Magnolia

I sit in the absolute back row of the theater so no one can sneak up on me

just added to my library hold list

Did they see where I put my keys?

It's the birth certificate thing again. They just keep taking the bait

Gilligan reteaming with Rhea Seehorn is exciting

The living room scene where Sammy Fabelman disassociates by imaging how he would film the moment is a killer scene, too. His sisters screaming and he's mentally behind the camera.

One of my favorite pieces of film criticism relates to this post:
