He looks like a cormorant about to be cleaned by RSPB volunteers.
This is a great photo and also the funniest possible way to promote the idea that Brad Pitt is a credible F1 driver

This is not a joke: first cinema experience was An Inconvenient Truth. Absolutely scared the soul out of me.
Friday night BWDR community question:

What was the first movie you remember seeing in a theater? And what do you remember most about the experience?

Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

Favourite line from the terrible 1989 Bette Davis movie ‘Wicked Stepmother’:

JENNY: “I usually carry my own teabags”

WITCH SHOPKEEPER: “So many people do nowadays”

Watching Aaron Sorkin’s ‘The Newsroom’ in April 2025 is like watching ‘The Twilight Zone.’

Republican congressman Keith Self introduced transgender Representative Sarah McBride as "Mr. McBride."

Sarah snapped back and called him madam chair.

Dem Congressman Bill Keating went off on Rep. Self and adjourned the meeting over his lack of decorum and purposeful targeting of Sarah McBride.

A truly stunning 21st century noir. Revenge, sex, anguish. Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and George MacKay are superb.

Spoke with Oscar winner Daniel Blumberg about his score for ‘The Brutalist.’ Turns out he’s a massive film nerd.

I’m convinced that Gladiator 2 would’ve walked away with the costume design award at the #oscars if they’d campaigned on Denzel’s erotic fondling of the toga sleeves and that alone.

Happy #oscars to all the film and culture journalists out there.

#genehackman was never a chameleon. He always looked like himself. But that never meant he played the same character. He thrived on the subtle emotions, showing the places in between cause and effect better than just about anyone. Night Moves is the perfect encapsulation of his gifts.

This is the original 1922 poster for ‘Nosferatu.’ At some point, it is quite possible that people will be more comfortable with glossy, uncanny valley AI images than they will with actual hand drawn art, just like selfie filters have made people uncomfortable with their real,“unfiltered” faces.

The pornstache. Willem Dafoe’s pipe. Poetry. Chiaroscuro. Rats galore.
Hats off, Mr. Eggers. This one has my heart.

Robert Eggers - 'Nosferatu' movie review
Robert Eggers' take on the classic fairytale is tamer than you'd expect, but excels nonetheless with a blend of lyrical motifs and period dramatics.
