London just gets me

Jesse Plemons in the 2018 film Game Night questioning the profitability of the supposedly “buy one get three free” deal that Jason Bateman uses to suggest he and his wife are not, in fact, holding a Game Night.

So close. So so close.

Hark! I have seen the new Happy Gilmore 2 / Subway billboards on Sunset Boulevard. Unfortunately, they haven’t made me more excited to ingest either product.

We needed this

I didn’t know this was something I’d get mad about today but here we are

Still haven't seen Final Reckoning - friends bailed last weekend and #lifehappens has gotten in the way - but thoroughly enjoyed this piece from @jadiestills.bsky.social on Tom Cruise, technology, what is real, and what is absent. Especially this paragraph.

Good movie, that

Always a good sign when you can’t tell what part of speech “Film” is supposed to be in Newsom’s MAFA slogan

Bullet Train Explosion not only gives you exactly what is on the label, but is basically the “accidentally became important at work n it’s ruining my life” meme in movie form. In a way, peak Sunday Scaries cinema

All that being said, @jdconnor.bsky.social see you at Mutiny?!

Working theory: you can tell the quality of a Statham vehicle by looking at his name. The winning formula is roughly: First Name (1-2 syllables, max) Last Name (Noun, must be short), or something mononymous.

Adam Clay? Never in doubt. Levon Cade? Tried too hard. Cole Reed? Not a lot of juice!

Who could forget?

First day of the new job in the books. I am officially:

Michael Mann's 1999 film The Insider is rentable to stream for $3.99 in various venues. This might be the night for it. If you've never seen it, run, don't walk. (To your couch.)
