Who else is just here to talk about the philosophical and intellectual nuance of 2003s Palme d'Or winner "The Core"?

Gal Gadot straps her voting slip to the tip of an artillery shell aimed directly at the nearest congregation of toddlers, screaming, "I'm a good person", as she mashes the launch button ...

Good news Cyder Drinkers (Hot Heads?) finally broken though the writers block and should have two vids on the way pretty soonish 👀

Okay so we have a number now: the Onion is officially 6 months ahead of reality.

I do not proport to be the first or only one who's made these observations or taken qualms with the rhetoric of Jacob Geller's statement. I was simply seeing too many voices complimenting his words and wanted to push back. sites.google.com/view/talesof...

Hi folks, suffice to say I'm ending my creative partnership with Jacob Geller in light of recent news. Best wishes to everyone affected.

It's wild how inspiration can come from truly awful places: like a flower blooming from a real big ole' pile of shit. Anywho, new IFO videos are coming soon about the "Wishmaster" franchise and 2026's puritanical nightmare comedy "One Night Only".

Annual rewatch of the GOAT

One of the most common criticisms video essayists get - beyond explicit bigotry - is "This person loves the sound of their own voice". That's just the tool we have to do the job. Terminally online folks walking past a construction site yelling, "That builder clearly wants to fuck their hard hat".

a prominent member of Film Twitter told me to "Suck his dick" just because i said that my favorite movie is the tv show Scrubs

NEW VIDEO! For almost two decades, Tim Heidecker & Gregg Turkington have woven meta-narratives, paratexts, & reams of ludicrous lore into "On Cinema": an eternally collapsing depiction of personality disorders & vapidity. It may be the most ambitious comedy ever made. youtu.be/MYeSCC-4uFc?...

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

Sometimes when people post racist or hateful comments on my videos, I'll click on their profile to report/block them and I'll have a quick look at the kind of videos they watch and subscribe to while I'm at it. Today, this was a real real big mistake. ....

New video! Cool Games(?) you may have missed(?) in 2026(?) so far. A handful of recommendations that somehow turned into extended musings on games as a whole. Featuring STUNTBOOST, Elfie: A Sand Plan, Blood Dungeon, and more 👀 youtu.be/26feHFM0vbA

My vans entertainment system has a bug where it sometimes gets a track name stuck and just keeps flashing it even when something else is playing....and this was a fun one to try and explain to my partner...thanks @thedreameaters.bsky.social

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

It's surprising how many out-and-proud neo-Nazis show up in the comments section of YouTube video essayists. Wait, I didn't mean to say "surprising". I meant to say "depressingly normal now"

So, my next video is going to be debunking every single thing the racist propaganda film "Citizen Vigilante" says or stands for, and to save time for the pieces of shit who will no doubt spam the comments section, I made this handy bingo card for their extremely predictable gish-galloping cuntyness.

Alex Meyers went from reviewing cartoons and Disney Channel movies to Obsession. It did not go well. Check out my latest video on how horribly he misreads movies, including one of the year's best horror films. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwQp...

My review of "Evil Dead Burn": a good but not great movie that marries heads through windshields with twerking asses, and reminds the world that you can absolutely have too much of a rad thing boxd.it/faB80d

Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

This is an accurate representation of "the discourse" now, and that clicking sound you're currently hearing is someone cocking the hammer and putting a gun in the mouth of all cultural discussion whenever anyone does anything Elon Musk can't cum about.

Hey, @movieswithmark.bsky.social. Do you want to lend some VO to my next video where I go into the absolute hellscape of "Citizen Vigilante"'s campaign of disinformation?

"Everybody at the new bar that doesn't serve bigots was really mean to me, and nobody bought me a drink or commented on my credentials or wanted to talk to me. This place was stupid, and everybody who goes there is stupid."

NEW VIDEO! "High Fidelity" is one of the most perfectly cringy indictments of "nice guy" dirtbags & gatekeepers ever made. So, why are so many retrospectives and shit-lib Letterboxd reviews incapable of differentiating between "depiction" & "endorsement"? youtu.be/UZDsFJIjpCk?... #highfidelity

New video essay on Melonie Mac and how she uses her Christianity to defend her bigotry when it comes to media analysis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MND7...

give it up for the gta2 box art. just sniping the hood of a taxi for no goddamn reason

the minions are men. grown, virile men

‘Lilo & Stitch’ creators Chris Sanders & Dean DeBlois have shared a piece of artwork honoring the late Daveigh Chase. Chase voiced Lilo in the ‘Lilo & Stitch’ film.

Writing on Games (@writingongames.bsky.social) is the reason my work exists, & their integrative approach to textual & mechanical analysis is what I aspire to. Movies With Mark (@movieswithmark.bsky.social) is an empathetic bastion of film history, cultural commentary and fighting the chuds.

Today it was revealed that - with a budget of $659 million - the god-awful "Jurassic World: Dominion" is the most expensive movie ever made. Or, let me put that in a way that will make you vomit. That turd cost more than the combined budgets of the following 61 movies. .

This year, I discovered three ways to genuinely revisit the past ⏳ beyond nostalgia. They involve re-playing media, re-syncing your mental timeline, and re-creating moments from bygone eras. 📺🕰️🔙 How to Time Travel (or: The Night My Mom Camped Outside BestBuy for a Wii) youtu.be/watch?v=4Uahb-6fE_k
