Need recs for a decent 4K Blu-ray player. My LG continues to skip almost every disc I try to play, including brand new. #filmsky

Today I discovered that there is a lucratively expansive side of TikTok specifically for artists painting waves.

Hey soul sister, please make sure to scan all items before placing them in the bagging area

Tomorrow my wife and kids go back to school. I WFH on Tuesdays and I use those days to watch movies that I can’t while they’re around. For next week, which do I watch first:

Barry Lyndon
High and Low
A Brighter Summer Day (rewatch)
Days of Heaven

Fantastic Four: First Steps Though it's not the cosmic success we were hoping for, the re-re-reboot of the 'first family of superheroes' at least stands tall by stressing relationships over punch-laden action.

Though it's not the cosmic success he was hoping for, Christopher Lloyd says #FantasticFourFirstSteps stands tall by stressing relationships over punch-laden action in the MCU reboot of the 'first family of superheroes.'

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator

very grim

A real monkey’s paw situation at the Sears household: my kids have discovered The Simpsons, but they only watch seasons 20+.

Follow-up question: what the hell does Astronomer do? (No, I’m not looking it up)

Show of hands, who had even heard of Astronomer before last week?

Taps the sign.

JD casting the deciding vote to defund the only source of local news in some rural areas is the perfect cherry on top of his fake populism shit cake

It won't just be Colbert. The Daily Show is next.

Colbert was the the highest rated late night show host. The message is: Emmy's, ratings, and name recognition won't save you. You criticize the oligarchs and this administration, your show is done.

If I hadn’t already canceled my paramount+ subscription, I’d be canceling it again right now. No piece of content they put out would make me want to go back

Cloud Review Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cloud is his most straightforward film, but thoughtfully explores how the internet can exploit our worst impulses.

I’m sure the increased frequency and intensity of these extreme weather events and natural disasters has nothing to do with global warming at all.

Ignore this woke nonsense, come see MY Superman movie, where he's born in Missouri to an insurance salesman and house wife (white) and doesn't have "powers" but is a solid C student who gets acquitted for rape because the judge says he has his whole life in front of him and then goes to Georgetown

Say no to Amazon Prime Days.

The IndieWire editors sending Ehrlich to review another blockbuster

Stop travelling to America.

It’s not safe & your tourist dollars shouldn’t support fascism

If you’re American, stop going to Florida

They built a concentration camp in 8 days

They’ve opted to kidnap and detain thousands instead of housing the homeless, feeding the hungry & providing healthcare

Thank you!

Everything sucks BUT I did submit my first documentary to its first film festival yesterday 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 #filmsky

Them: how’s your 2025 so far?
Me:

Just saying……

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

Why should I celebrate today when the people in charge actively hate most of the people that live here
