Yeah and the show is really excellent at pacing its drama in that context, so as you say this is a weird blip.

It's gotta be an intentional bit but it's been going on way too long.

I love this show but for Pete's sakes get that deaf lady a pen and a pad of paper, geniuses.

The Pitt!

Like not so much (but sometimes) formally but dialogue and tone 100%.

Don't think it ever occurred to me until now how much this is Wes Anderson-ian

I don't think BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID could ever be called underrated. But it is somehow shocking just how fucking good and achingly modern it still is.

Leave it to Soderbergh to just offhandedly nail the thing about the Coens.

You can get her fictional Buzz Rickson for like 600 bucks on eBay, this company made them way back in the day

*he'll ever

Perhaps bizarrely I am not a big fan of Mona Lisa. Loved Peripheral and Agency. Don't think I'll ever write another book as good as Pattern Recognition, which would also make an incredible movie if done totally faithfully.

Pedro Pascal Riviera is almost too perfect

Count Zero would make the cooler movie though.

Nowadays I think of ATJ as Molly/3Jane, Skaarsgard as Case, Lakeith Stanfield as Maelcum. I think Czerny still works!

Only other one I remember being confident about was that Henry Czerny should play Armitage, and that I wanted the same actress -- whoever it was -- to play both Molly and 3Jane.

Antonio Banderas now to old to play Riviera

I have a withered and excessively hand-noted hard copy which will never be seen by another human.

I wrote a 250p script of it when I was in college. Totally unfilmable, faithful for no reason. But I've had that move in my head for my whole life. Morbidly curious but not very hopeful about the upcoming Apple series.

I remain adamant that the only person who should adapt it is me.

Dodged a bullet you ask me

I've brought this up before, but I had to be physically restrained by @pobrecito.bsky.social at a screening of THE KILLER when a woman declared it "so bad it was good" as the end credits rolled.

When I was in film school in the mid-90s I used MiniDisc to record sound because they could sync to a crystal motor, were compatible with ProTools, and were infinitely rewritable.

I should have been on this GOLDENEYE Rewatchables.

A lot of these are just beer. I'm going with 10.

Ok I understand why "I don't think about you at all." is a great Mad Men meme but how come there isn't one about when Peggy jerks off a stranger at a showing of BORN FREE?

The Tarantino Vertigo quote everyone is mad about is from 2022. I promise there’s plenty to be mad about in 2026.

Just keep making fun of his foot fetish because you think it's clever.

The Quentin VERTIGO thing is three years old. The guy is and probably always will be one of my favorite filmmakers but clearly he's always been an idiot and an asshole. Just ignore it.

I can't wait for people to do this. My advice is: throw a rock. Pick one that looks interesting (and trust me, Wiseman will make it interesting) and then if you like it pick another.

Educated guess: too many airlines would have had to sign off depending on which airport.
