One of film criticism’s many preening diletantes. Mancow made us rich and famous
Big fan of this T.C. Boyle anthology that makes it look like the memoir of a stand up from the 90s, instead of stories by a respected author

What if Ratatouille had decided to try and seduced the cruel food critic instead? My friends, you don’t have to wonder any longer because T.C. Boyle answered that question in 1987

I think where I’m at is Pauline Kael > Andrew Sarris. But Sarris disciples > Kael disciples. Mainly bc the things that make Pauline special (prose style, humor, reckless overconfidence) are basically impossible to replicate if you’re less talented than she was

Jay-Z’s “one hot album every ten year average” line is so cutting that no one questions him referring to 1994-2001 as ten years

Well, I didn’t vibe with If I Had Legs I Would Kick You like the rest of you did. But it did make me scour this lady’s wikipedia page in a panic. So that’s something

One thing we learned from Ernest Dickerson’s Q&A was that Billy Zane used to carry around a trunk of toupees that he had directors choose from. He was very excited to be bald here

Kinda hate how Sandra’s genius has been reduced to the “anyone but me” sound byte. That’s like Michael Jordan’s strategy being reduced to “jump higher than the other guys” #Survivor49 #Survivor

I don’t want to pretend the culture war is dead and buried, but the nominal left having the time of day for this sort of thing feels pretty quaint

I love when the song playing over the credits of a film is a perfect grace note to the movie. And it feels like 2025 has been an uncommonly good year for that:
• Tom Waits in “Eephus”
• Teddybears & Iggy in “Superman”
• Petty & The Heartbreakers in “One Battle After Another”

Absolutely infuriating to stumble upon a delightful Paul Thomas Anderson homage, the week everyone’s talking about him. But not being able to share it bc it’s the climax of a random episode of a sitcom no one’s seen youtu.be/0Tj387FpTIQ?...

*posting on my alt to r/marvel* I know we don’t like saluting hydra around here. But I’ll do it just this once. R.I.P. to one of the MCU’s best villains. The one and only Alexander Pierce 😔😔😔

This magazine has Benny Safdie writing about Nathan for You a year before he broke out with Good Time, seven years before collaborating with Fielder on The Curse. And this guy at @trylon.org just let me have it for free. Support your local rep cinema!!!

I’ve watched maybe 45 minutes of Bakeoff over my mom’s shoulder over the years, but I’m afraid the Australian spinoff being hosted by the guy who wrote the nastiest jokes on Go Off Kings is too strong a pitch to pass up

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.
