@bigjoel.bsky.social as someone who spoke eloquently about the metaphors in the DCOM zombies movies I’m curious if you’ve seen Zombies 4. It’s an unambiguous metaphor for the Israel Palestine conflict and I feel insane that seemingly no media outlet has mentioned this absolutely insane choice.
Hey Google AI overview, what did filmmaker Robert Altman think of the movie Magnolia?
“Roger Ebert? He loved it, according to this essay he wrote a decade after he died. Roger Ebert has autism, by the way.” #filmsky #movies
PT Anderson movies are like pizza. Even when it’s bad, it’s only because licorice pizza was a bad idea anyway, and it’s kind of miraculous it didn’t taste worse. #filmsky
High praise to the subtle, unpredictable storytelling in Opus. Not since Rounders has a John Malkovich performance been this hard to read. #filmsky #movies
@williambibbiani.bsky.social Your reviews for Snow White and Alto Knights in The Wrap brought me so much joy: funny, entertaining, with a real voice. Reminded me of the joy of reading Ebert reviews as a kid for movies I’d never see, because they weren’t just consumer guides, but their own art form.
It must have been so hard to be a prisoner in the 90s after Shawshank Redemption came out. Just think of the thousands of innocent Rita Hayworth posters that must have been ripped down by suspicious guards. #Filmsky #movies
It still blows my my mind that The Departed is a remake of a Japanese film. Given that the consensus thinks Scorsese’s take is superior, I can’t imagine how awful the Boston accents were in the original. #filmsky #movies
Despite what detractors say, I believe film critics go into movies like The Electric State wanting to like them. My heart goes out to all the critics that had to scrap their pre-written “It’s Electric!” review headlines and RT snippets. #Filmsky
People say Steven Spielberg keeps secretly making every movie about the same thing, but if there is a subtextual thruline in his work, I dadn’t find it. #filmsky #movies #film
Movie Pitch: When a brothel full of secret werewolves attacks all of their clientele, the customers find themselves traveling through Hell in a vehicle driven by their favorite 80s action star.
I call it Jean Claude Van Damme’s Damned Van for Clawed Johns.

If 2025 keeps on this pace, Joachim Trier is going to have to change the title of “Worst Person in the World” to “Okay, even in my deepest self-loathing hyperbole, I can acknowledge I’m probably not in the top 5.”
