I mean, the entirety of “Hit Man” is basically one big audition reel for a “Glen Powell playing multiple roles” project! It’s literally right there!!!

It’s fun to check the Letterboxd page for Naked Gun ‘25 and see that there really isn’t a consensus on the movie’s best joke, because 90% of the jokes are just *that* good. Quaid Army DOES. NOT. MISS. #RighteousKill

(For the record, Paul Walter Hauser vs. Drunk Kids is currently my favorite moment)

Had “Kiss of the Spider Woman” been more than just pretty good or if anyone was actually aware of its existence, Tonatiuh would be getting so much awards attention right now. Incredible performance.

I don’t usually post about my acting work on here, but I’m gearing up to play Pozzo in “Waiting for Godot” next month, and it’s a lot of fun because I get to spend most of Act 2 doing this:

Vulture Movie Fantasy League, 2025 edition, baybeeeeeeee

Tbh, not feeling as confident in my picks this time around, partially because the good folks at @vulture.com made sure rostering was especially tricky this year, and also because THERE’S SO MUCH.

THERE’S. SO. MUCH.

Anyway, Final Destination ‘00: pretty good start to the whole shebang! Maybe a slightly spicy take, but the lead probably should’ve been cast with someone who could really sell the character’s crazed, paranoid turn. Tony Todd shows up for like 30 seconds and blows everyone else out of the water.

I’m a sucker for over-the-top ‘80s villains, and Bozo might be one of the very best:

It’s fun to watch something like the OG Toxic Avenger knowing that 2010s me would’ve haaaaaaated it. Bonkers movie that’s so gleefully crass and mean that it tips over into charming and wholesome! A smorgasbord of gonzo character actor performances! So many silly little details! I had a good time 👍

Everyone’s shocked about A$AP Rocky being good at something other than music, like he didn’t grace us with this nine years ago

This was an ‘09 take that I posted nearly a decade later. Either way, it’s wrong! Hot Rod also rules!

Starting a new Bluesky thread, to be updated periodically: My Old, Bad Letterboxd takes!

First up from 2018: the original Predator! Took me three tries, but all right, fine, it’s basically a masterpiece with several career-best performances, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME

If this doesn’t include the Andrew Dismukes lawyer sketch, what are we even doing here?

Godddddd, I love Richard Kind so much

Hey @rottentomatoes.com, am I crazy or is the “average rating” feature just straight-up gone?

Like, this isn’t even a “AI is garbage and taking away jobs from artists” thing (which it obviously is), it’s a “You clearly didn’t watch the show because they already beat you to it!” thing
