I don’t have much to share about it— not really into the performing feelings thing. But I always felt so safe on that campus. This is the first time since COVID prematurely ended my time there that I’ve felt grateful to be away from it, and the dissonance of that is very strange
Haven’t spent much time on this app lately, but checked in today, and the first few posts I saw were about the shooting at my alma mater instead of random inane crap. I should be more active on here again, I think

Well this is a lovely surprise
Today, I am officially in my late 20s. Also, as of Saturday, I am now a father
This is the most exhausted I’ve ever been on my birthday, so unlike most years I actually feel older
PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS rocks
THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME is now out wide, so resharing this!
I’ve been wanting to write this one for a long time, and a second-watch eureka moment with THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME pushed me to finally do it!
Wes Anderson is maybe my favorite filmmaker. I have a theory about why his movies look the way they do

This has comments that are… actually nice? Is the apocalypse here already?
An autographed Corpse Bride special edition DVD and an autographed drawing of Emily by character designer Carlos Grangel
Attended a special 20th anniversary screening of CORPSE BRIDE last night, with character designer Carlos Grangel in attendance. One of my wife’s favorites, and now she has her own Emily from the guy who created her with Tim Burton
Rarely has my husband stock been higher
Managed to do a little non-review writing on what I think MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING is really about (and it explains all that stuff in the first hour)

I wrote a very mixed review of FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH for @screenrant.bsky.social - definitely the most annoyed I've ever been about having to decide whether something is "Fresh" or "Rotten" in RT's system, that's for sure

Just watched both the new MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and the new Wes Anderson today, and it counted as work
As someone who really loved BEAU IS AFRAID, all these polarized EDDINGTON reactions have me very excited
They just seem like the two contenders for film of the year so far for me, but it’s also a useful test for the reception of MICKEY 17, which was positive but felt a little muted. Plenty of people might say they liked it, but how many more than SINNERS?
Is there anyone else out there who prefers MICKEY 17 to SINNERS? Or am I on my own on this one?
Sincere thanks to Mark Blyth, who was open to talking to me on very short notice and brought up Interstellar and Game of Thrones as examples with no prompting at all from me
This isn’t usually how I spend my workday, but I talked to an economist about Trump’s proposed 100% tariff on movies produced abroad. Turns out, it makes as little sense as you think it does!

I’ve listened to “Rocky Road to Dublin” an unhealthy amount of times in the past few days
Wrote this back in March, when I saw DREAMS (SEX LOVE) for its Italian release, and I'm glad it's finally surfaced. I felt good about it as soon as I finished, and those come along rarely enough that they shouldn't sit on the shelf. Plus, it's a really lovely movie!

Coolest insight: Fundamentally, all we can know about another person is what they choose to show us. We can guess at their thoughts, but never really know them. Where we choose to place our trust is, for him, the essential question, and he thinks all his films are to some extent about that betrayal

Finally got to see BLACK BAG! Release schedule differences can be a pain sometimes, but Soderbergh being here in Milan to talk about the movie really made up for the wait
Very glad I could review BLACK MIRROR’s new season for SR! Truly a formative show for me, and I jumped at the chance to write about it. Turns out, though, doing a full-season review of six independent stories is actually kinda hard 😅

First couple episodes of THE STUDIO are out today, everyone watch so they make more please!

After the Atlantic Signal chat story I have a strong urge to rewatch BURN AFTER READING
I really loved THE STUDIO! Please tell me they plan to make more

THE ELECTRIC STATE is out on Netflix today— thrilled for my angry commenters that they can finally see the movie they’ve been defending

Count me among the lucky souls who reviewed THE ELECTRIC STATE, which is not only not good, but not good for you

I really think your response to MICKEY 17 is determined by whether you vibe with its sense of humor. If you can’t lock onto the initial tone, the way the rest are calibrated won’t feel quite right
Out in theaters today, go see it!!
