The thing that makes the Patti LuPone drama the most upsetting is that she *thinks* she's punching down and is intentionally doing so

SINNERS made $48 million domestic at the box office this weekend. The biggest opening for an original movie this decade.

Don’t let those slanted pieces in the trades bury that accomplishment.

i'm sorry when we had a gay man as transportation secretary planes were not crashing this much

'Sinners' is the best movie of the year | movie review | Smash Cut Sinners follows a pair of infamous twins who return to their hometown to open a juke joint of their own only to find a darkness.

#Sinners is the best movie of the year. It manages to be a folk horror, western drama, southern gothic, Blaxploitation thriller, quasi-musical and, oh, a vampire movie exploring deeply rooted themes about our society while being wildly entertaining. A masterwork. smashcutreviews.com/sinners-movi...

"I don't need religion or god to give my life meaning... because time gives it meaning" is one of the greatest lines of dialogue ever written. Run Carrie Coon her Emmy now. #TheWhiteLotus

Run Carrie Coon her Emmy NOW!!! #TheWhiteLotus

a little late but the "6:00 PM" of THE PITT is one of the best hours of television ever. my god what a piece of art. my heart was going a million miles an hour the entire time. the season set up so incredibly for it on a character level. mentally and emotionally immersive. bravo.

I really need Raducanu to beat Pegula so Eala can beat another Grand Slam champion on the way to the final 😇 #MiamiOpen

The only cinematic universification of James Bond I will accept is a gay rom-com about Ben Whishaw's Q

Caught up on WALLACE & GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL and what a delightful, silly quais-mission impossible by way of M3GAN romp. But also, justice for Feathers McGee.

Had so much fun chatting with Dan and Chris about The Dawns of the Dead!

'Love Hurts' is mostly hurt | movie review | Smash Cut Love Hurts follows assassin-turned-realtor is pulled back into his old world of crime when his would-be final target resurfaces.

While the fight sequences at times shows flashes of brilliance, LOVE HURTS is a less love and a whole lotta hurt. I suppose they did warn us in the title though... Ke Huy Quan deserves a better star vehicle. smashcutreviews.com/love-hurts-m...

Rewatched CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON at Metrograph for Chinese New Year and realized it’s basically the story of a woman in a situationship from hell helping a younger woman avoid being in a situationship from hell.

The Equinox steam room was wall to wall packed and I very much had to resist the urge to yell, “is the orgy still on for 5 o’clock?”

i'm not single. i'm holding space for the lyrics of defying gravity.

hummus has become what sushi was in the 90s. like in a sitcom when someone suggested eating sushi and people were like: "raw fish!! pretentious elitist!!"

As a WICKED skeptic, I'm happy to have been proven wrong. With expansive, dynamic musical numbers that fill the screen, a fast-paced rhythm, and larger-than-life characters, it is movie-musical perfection. Ariana Grande is Oscar-worthy. Cythina Erivo showstopping. smashcutreviews.com/wicked-movie...

WICKED had me in tears for the last 15 mins. Impeccably crafted, masterfully paced (it earns its runtime) and grounded by a watershed performance by Cynthia Erivo and comedic gold from Ariana Grande. Their chemistry holds the story together while the musical numbers give life. Captivating. A blast.

y’all are out at the club and I’m at home watching GODZILLA MINUS ONE for the 11th time. We’re not the same.
