'80s Roulette is back today with a movie that could never hope to live up to its amazing poster... www.drewmcweeny.com/80s-roulette...

With all my heart and soul, my response is "So what?"

Before and after

Editor's note: a birth certificate does, in fact, make you an American. Unfortunately, so does institutional racism. Mickey Rooney's stunt double here can go fuck himself.

The older I get, the weepier I get at Ellen Greene's performance of "Suddenly Seymour." There's a look she gives Moranis while he's singing the first verse that is so real, so honest, and cuts through how cartoonish the film is, and it just destroys me.

Sometimes, I am perfectly happy to take the blame. Look, @sepinwall.bsky.social! Look what we did!

#caturday #cats

First one I am 100% sure of is BLACKBEARD'S GHOST in a '73/'74 re-release. I am told I thought it was "hilarious," but all I remember is the poster.

"What an excellent day for an exorcism." Playing the William Friedkin horror classic THE EXORCIST on #35MM tonight! @amcinematheque.bsky.social #AeroTheatre

all of this has always been about getting back at the uppity women who wouldn’t fuck them

So sad

There is a sketch in episode one of the new series of ELLIE & NATASIA that made me weep from laughing. Perfect premise. Perfect execution. One might even say practically perfect in every way.

The main reason the KLARA AND THE SUN reviews make me sad is because, just based on the trailers, it feels like letting Jenna Ortega smile in something was this secret weapon no one's been using. What a shame.

Haven't heard it, but unsurprised. Any time I went to Pixar to do press, Lee Unkrich was one of the most personable dudes there. More than that, though, he always had a way of explaining things to people weren't animation savvy that impressed me. Good dude.

Happy #TheLastDriveIn Halloween!
We’ll be busy on the shot list for the next project but we’ll be watching the way JB intended it…on a iPad! Can’t wait to find out what we’re watching while we work! @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @shudder.com @themutantfam.bsky.social

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

Saw THE DEVILS in 4DX tonight, and lemme tell ya, that was the most upsetting roller coaster ride of all time. I thought it was a little excessive to use real fire at the end, but still... what a rush! (There is not a 4DX version, but if there was, holy shit)

It should be profoundly criminal for one person to donate this much money to political campaigns. Ever, much less in one election cycle. We will remain broken until we clean up the money.

I am absolutely LOVING drawing @alexdecampi.bsky.social's great script for Dan Dare: First Contact - it's for sure my new happy place and I think the best work of my career.

Has there ever been a more openly hostile contestant on TASKMASTER than this year's Richard Ayoade? I'm not mad about it. Dude makes me laugh non-stop. But he genuinely seems irritated by everything and everyone involved.

THE TALISMAN has always been one of my favorite books, since the weekend it was released. Instant love on my part. I've read it so many times. I read it to my sons when they were younger. That's like a year's worth of bedtimes. Reading the new one right now is terribly bittersweet.

Joe Hisaishi is the new conductor/composer-in-residence for the Hollywood Bowl for the next five years?! Awesome.

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

I get why some people wouldn't like this version, but I ain't mad.

There was a point before Amazon swallowed 007 whole when the choices they were kicking around internally were so radical and different that it doesn't surprise me they never happened. I wish Barbara Broccoli had cast Bond before losing control of things. Would have been really interesting.

This is the ninth (9th) major profile of Emanuel since December 2024 that failed to mention Laquan McDonald.

mark my words, there are going to be a surprising number of trans adults ten years from now whose coming out story begins with "i saw a conservative political ad"

Fingers crossed, man. I think the world is ready for a fat 56 year old American Bond.

Josh O'Connor is both way too interesting to be stuck playing Bond and also I would be there in theaters to watch him weep gently after finding out the villain iced his paramour Tuppence Two-Tittys.

"Honestly, if we end up with two hundred and twenty-five seats on the White Council, I would be disappointed. I would rather Sauron keep control of Middle-earth by five seats than have the Fellowship win by five, because then we’d be hostage to the Ents." buff.ly/9WluK1y

Let's crowdfund the charter fees for a week and then we'll all turn the entire yacht into the world's biggest Upper Decker. We could poop eeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvverrrrrrrrywhere.

Worst President ever, and we've had some fucking humdingers.

Three falls. Four days. My back is absolutely thrashed. It is like someone spent hours punching me in the spine.

She IS. And they're little BASTARDS, too! Thank you for the kind words, Sarah Gaunt is co-created and designed by @davidmarquez.bsky.social!

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

If you can’t be bothered to write and analyze your own research, step aside for folks who actually want to do your damned job.

It's a choice (a bad one) to tell readers this driver "passed too close to cyclists" when there's video evidence showing he drove his car into them, made contact and hurt someone. Fellow journalists: we can explore the nuances of punishment for drivers without obfuscating their dangerous behavior.

Imagine thinking you're a messenger for Jesus Christ and that his message was "do not help the weak and less fortunate"
