Pardeep Sahota

Hi, my name is Pardeep and I am a Twitterholic. I hope to enjoy my recovery here with you all. I’m a writer and director, unsurprisingly obsessed with movies and funny stuff. So let’s get together and take it, one day at a time.

Excellent news that Guillermo del Toro’s NIGHTMARE ALLEY is getting a Criterion Collection release, which will include both color & black-and-white versions. One of my favorites of his. It features a biting, alluring performance by Bradley Cooper. The final shot is brilliant. @criterion.bsky.social

Deliveroo CEO recently claimed that Deliveroo is “saving dinner time” and believes eating in a restaurant is “an outmoded idea for most people”.

How is it today after all these years I’ve realised it’s the comedy genius Jerry Zucker who directed Ghost? 👻

“Pro-life”

went through a big JCVD phase last year and while I was researching Hard Target, I found an interview with John Woo where he discusses what it was like working with Sam Raimi on that set. it's become one of my all-time favorite behind-the-scenes stories.

“Erin Brockovich wouldn’t get made today; Traffic wouldn’t get made. Unless you get Timothée Chalamet who, god bless him, seems to be interested in doing different kinds of movies. But that window is getting smaller and smaller for filmmakers to climb through.”

A movie that takes place where you’re from 🎬

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

This is so funny

val kilmer’s turn in TOP SECRET is one of the single best comedy performances ever committed to film, both in terms of comic precision and mechanical virtuosity. just watch this whole clip in its entirety; it’s stunning

I forgot I bought this DVD to listen for this very commentary track. I shall do so in honour of a brilliant artist. Then perhaps followed by a Top Secret - Batman Forever - Heat chaser.

You know what I’d call for if I was prime minister - more funding of youth clubs , extracurricular activities, and mental health support - but showing a film looks like concern while costing very little

It’s taken less than 48 hours to go from WhiskiLeaks to Instant Methenger.

referring to pete hegseth as whiskeyleaks is one of the funniest things i’ve seen in a while. good job, guys.

The fact that Musk has lost $100B over the last month but is still the wealthiest person on Earth and financially unharmed in the slightest—all while wealth and income inequality is worse now than it was after the Great Depression—is Exhibit A on why we need to tax billionaires out of existence.

Down, down to hell, and say I sent thee thither⁠— [Stabs him again.]

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

If the lies that anonymous online trolls tell had no power, Elon Musk would not have bought Twitter. When these lies are spread, unchallenged and unfettered, they poison the minds of the populace. The liberal elitism of "we go high" has left us unprotected from the harm of hateful lies.

Revisiting this Sean Baker profile I wrote a few years ago and a lot of his quotes hit me anew: www.vulture.com/2017/11/the-...

Francis Ford Coppola is an All Timer. A true artist who has laid 100 million of his own dime to make a movie. Because he wanted to. Not for profit. Who else can say that, whatever you think of the art. The Razzies and other sheep who sneer…are firing their spud guns at a battleship.

Can someone use Grok AI to superimpose Elons face as every Nazi that gets punched by Indiana Jones?

🤌🏿

I have another boiling hot take. James Bond is dull as dishwater. And has been since Roger Moore hung up his bow tie.

Big Bugs Bunny “ain’t i a stinker?” energy

It’s only January and I have at contender for my favourite poster of the year.

As London's #PrinceCharlesCinema becomes a potential target for redevelopment, a petition has emerged to help protect it.

Under Elon Musk, Tesla have now rebranded to Swasticars. Not my joke, but I’m happy to reshare it, far and wide. Who is buying that trash?

wealth can buy you the presidency and the most global influence ever witnessed in history but it’s clear that wealth, no matter how much you accumulate, cannot ever make you funny

Tesla Gigafactory, Berlin - right now! In cooperation with @ledbydonkeys.org

"we can already describe this moment as the most self-confident the far right has been in the West since the peak of the Third Reich."

this is what is happening all I ask is that when you mention the oligarchs, please also mention that they own the communications platforms

Controversial opinion. I’m kinda bored of Severance already.

Between Elon and now Zuck’s latest turd drop. I think our world is going to become a lot more stupid and misinformed. You know what’s cooler than a million dollars? Someone who leaves behind a positive impact on the planet.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Happy birthday 👑

Things I liked in 2024, in no particular order…

Presumed Innocent…that sure got silly didn’t it?

Phantom Thread (2017) & The Passionate Friends (1949)

Warner Bros. started posting remastered TOM AND JERRY shorts to YouTube 2 months ago. There are 13 now — and they’ve already generated almost 10 million views. A million views per week for 70-80-year-old cartoons. Amazing. youtube.com/playlist?lis... #TomAndJerry
