Payakan is WASHED

same, but exclusively on Gatorade zero.

The Testament of Ann Lee: the Brutalist team returns for another, possibly even better historical epic about a European sailing to America & building a church, this one a quasi-musical starring Amanda Seyfried as Jesus 2.0. Often *transcendent*

Ballad of a Small Player: Colin Farrell is dealt a bad hand in Edward Berger's dysfunctional Conclave follow-up, a wonky and exasperating Netflix thriller about a gambling addict in Macau. think Sam Mendes doing Uncut Gems. hard fold.

Hamnet obliterated me.

Deliver Me from Nowhere works as a spare character study of a depressed rock god on the cusp of superstardom, falls flat whenever it tries to flesh that out with biopic trappings. i'll take it over the Dylan one any day.

No Other Choice: loved Park Chan-wook's bleakly hilarious capitalism satire about an unemployed guy who's so desperate for a job that he starts murdering the other candidates. a little Parasite, a little Looney Tunes, and then a big gut punch.

Cover-Up: Laura Poitras' damning new film clinically unpacks 50 years of American malfeasance, effectively connecting the dots between the My Lai massacre and the genocide in Gaza. one of the year's best docs.

Jay Kelly: very mixed on Noah Baumbach’s saddest but most sentimental movie, in which George Clooney turns out to be weirdly miscast as George Clooney. Sandler wasted. The last five minutes just about save the whole thing tho.

The 100 Best Movies of the 1970s From "Alien" and "All that Jazz" to "World on a Wire" and "Zabriskie Point," these are the films that defined the '70s.

First out of the gate, the biggie: the 100 best movies of the 1970s. And, yes, @davidehrlich.bsky.social and I were arguing about number 1 on Slack until almost the very last moment. www.indiewire.com/lists/best-7...

Richard is one of the very best in the business and Vanity Fair has no meaningful future without people like him on their masthead. So fucking stupid. Stupid stupid world. Hope he gets hired somewhere that actually appreciates his talent.

To hell with this. Richard is one of our finest critics, and Vanity Fair and its readers are so much poorer for this incredibly stupid decision.

World Central Kitchen | WCK Forced to Halt Cooking in Gaza as Supplies Run Out After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza.

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

Thank you Maya!!!

Haha I am very aware of both things, and currently lugging your latest book around the city in the hopes of absorbing how you did it by osmosis

Thx jason!

I’m writing a book about A24.

it’s going to glimpse deeper inside the mind of Charles Swan III than anyone has ever glimpsed before.

coming 2027ish from Norton/Liveright.

‘Thunderbolts*’ Review: Marvel’s Best Movie in Years Struggles to Outrun the Emptiness of the Mega-Franchise It’s Trying So Hard to Save Florence Pugh's performance anchors 'Thunderbolts,' a back-to-basics Marvel movie that tries to restore the focus on characters over spectacle.

Thunderbolts* is definitely the best Marvel movie in a minute, whatever that's worth, but this back-to-basics adventure still can't quite outrun the emptiness at the center of the MCU. Florence Pugh rules tho.

Rabbit Is Rich found dead in a ditch

Much appreciated, thanks! Glad we can reach over our seemingly insurmountable divides (aka your islanders avatar)

honestly this season has been a nightmare for me. never struggled this hard to get to infinite, mostly because i refuse to run a negative deck. currently at 95 switching between Bullseye and a high evo deck

Schindler's List with David Ehrlich Our Early Spielberg series concludes with a movie that is a super fun time and not at all distressing to watch in our current political climate! David Ehrlich...

no better way to spend easter / hitler's birthday than by listening to the 4-hour episode of @blankcheck.bsky.social i did on Schindler's List: blankcheck.podcastpage.io/episode/schi...

Not scary enough

‘Sinners’ Review: Ryan Coogler’s Best Movie So Far Is a Bloody, Bluesy, and Throbbingly Fun Vampire Saga Michael B. Jordan's twin performances lead a phenomenal cast in this story of some vampires laying siege to a juke joint in 'Sinners.' Review.

Sinners absolutely rips — my favorite Ryan Coogler movie so far, by far. see it BIG with a crowd, and uh, definitely stick around for the end credits…

i have never heard of this person.

‘The Alto Knights’ Review: Robert De Niro Plays Two Rival Crime Lords in Barry Levinson’s Utterly Lifeless Mafia Drama De Niro seems to be having fun playing both Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, but the movie around his double performance is a chore to watch.

The Alto Knights: woof.

Marvel’s New ‘Thunderbolts*’ Trailer Proves the Future of Movies Belongs to Cinephiles — In Review You're laughing? Marvel is desperately trying to look like A24 and you're laughing!?
