Playing off Mendonça Filho and cutting Best Score from the broadcast so they can do stupid comedy bits and color commentary? The Globes producers can fuck off.

LaFleur just doesn't have it. I hope they bring in Harbaugh.

Great movie, great win. I'm pulling for the Bills now.

A thread of my 20 favorite films of 2025. At the end, I will link to my published piece with reflections on the year in cinema.

THE LOVE THAT REMAINS not getting into the International Film shortlist is bullshit.

For sure! I also think he very much had that athlete mentality already. And I'm cool with it! Love to see young actors striving to make great movies.

You mean at the SAG Awards. In recent interviews, he has said that he had just finished filming MARTY SUPREME when he made that speech and was still in the Marty headspace.

This would be my #2 film of the year right now if it had a 2025 U.S. release date. Pálmason is a master!

IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU should be an absolute lock for Best Actress and Best Sound Oscar noms (if not, cancel the awards) and a major contender for Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, Film Editing, and Cinematography.
