There's a 0/10 user review of "Seven Samurai" on Metacritic that lives in my head rent free.

What is "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 2" a satire of? It's reevaluation as an actually good picture rests on the claim of it being a satire, but of what, exactly?

"Ghost who makes the subtext explicit" or, more simply, "Subtext Ghost" is a terrible, terrible character in any media.

Breathlessly waiting for the 90-minute Big Joel review of "Run Hide Fight" in a few months.

Bob Pollard sings the chorus of “Tractor Rape Chain” like he’s singing the coda of “Hey Jude” and i think it’s beautiful

32 minutes into The Driller Killer and there's been 1. 10 minutes of band practice footage, 2. a lesbian shower scene, and 3. nobody murdered with a power drill.

Bandcamp Friday which means it's the day to buy a band's back catalog to replace your free MP3s you got off a torrent site 15 years ago and felt kind of bad about having.

Holy shit the last sentence in the Personal Life section of Costa-Gavras’ Wikipedia page. Ack.

Why did so many people agree to show their naked bodies for the film Dangerous Men?

Welker is mostly a mannequin who sits at a desk and nods. Imagine feeling threatened by her.

So, GLP-1 s are pretty great for stopping my binge eating but the near constant nausea sucks. I think it’s a worthy trade-off, but hoo-boy it stinks to feel kinda bad most of the time.

Bob Pollard is our greatest living songwriter.

This guy's always been a used-car salesman, and it absolutely blows that almost making the World Series last year probably gave him a 3 year extension on his firing window.

The New York Post has an article about Jimothy and it's about how he's going to die soon and the tone is all "he's going to die soon you stupid libs, biological facts don't care about your feelings!!!!!! nana nana nana" Normal people writing there obviously.

Er, Joanna Newsom..?

The entire rest of the USA is cooking while the Pacific Northwest basks in average temps of 67° and cloudy in freaking July. I’m not mad it’s going to be 65 and raining on my birthday, I’m not, really.

I disagree about sex scenes in movies in general, but there's a bit of truth in the last part in that something like, say Wong Kar-Wai's "2046" is clearly a catalogue of the director's fetishes and it's unwatchable.

John Wayne was a shithead but his butt looked great in blue jeans.

These 2 new Interpol songs are actually really good, I don’t understand

My criteria being movies my friends and I saw in the theater and the atmosphere was the most fun: Mean Girls Superbad Napoleon Dynamite The Waterboy(!?) The Hot Chick (???!!)

Imagine not being able to handle Kristen Welker.

Toshiro Mifune is the most masculine, manly MAN to ever have appeared on the silver screen. The only caveat is that he was short.

In “His Girl Friday” every character gets insanely giddy when Rosalind Russell’s Hildy walks into a room, and I feel that. She’s obviously the fucking coolest lady you want to know and talk to about everything.

Michael Cera did an "Adventures in Moviegoing" for Criterion Channel and his picks include "High and Low", "Fox and His Friends" and "Empire of Passion" and I've never been more attracted to anyone ever.

So, this post sucks, but I gotta respect Clara Jeffery for having the bravery to post this take to Bluesky knowing she'd be harassed for it endlessly.

The contestant on her second round of 'Beast Games' yelling at me that 'Greed is IDOLATRY' is really sending me.

Watching hours of commentary videos on 'Beast Games 2' is so much better than actually watching 'Beast Games 2'.

MS Now hosts gushing over Trump taking their phone calls and then blathering lies to them for a few minutes gets like a days worth of coverage on the channel, and gawd they all need to shut the fuck up

There's a joke in the MST3K episode "Werewolf" about a ridiculously high price of gas seen in the movie (Crow T. Robot- "Where are they, in Port-Au-Prince?!"), and the price is... ... ... $1.54/gallon.

I mean, every assistant under 25 I’ve worked with comes to work smelling like weed. I don’t love it.

My dog will only 'high-five' with men, what on earth could be the reason for this except misogyny?

Still legitimately don't understand what the argument is for sending money directly to Gazans under potentially legally dubious circumstances over just, like, donating to reputable orgs like Save the Children or PCRF. People got very angry if you advised against this.

I thought Chantal Akerman's "News from Home" would feel like the longest 90 minutes ever spent once I figured out what it was going to be, but it goes by quickly! Probably a pretty good piece of unintentional ASMR if you're into that.
