“The closest Hollywood has come to greatness with Sondheim is through the lens of Burton, a director with his own well-worn bag of tricks who embraced the composer’s prickliness but still chickened out with his theatrical impulses,” @ceilidhann.bsky.social writes:

The Platforming and Ironic Stanning of Club Chalamet is Gross and Potentially Dangerous Thanks, I hate it.

The platforming and irony-poisoned stanning of creepy sexist stalker Club Chalamet is gross and sets a nasty precedence. I wrote down my feelings on this.

This is a very fun film.

Gender criticals: "Listen to women! Unless you're Girlguides or the Women's Institute or you disagree with the male judge who wrote this decision or if you don't 'look like a woman' or if you're a trans man because then you're definitely a man."

Everyone will suffer from this madness. Everyone.

Tonight's film.

Pillion won best British independent film at the BIFA awards, and I’m obsessed with this photo of Alexander Skarsgård with his hand down Harry Melling’s shirt 👀

Seriously, this woman mocked Guy Pearce when he came forward about being harassed by Kevin Spacey.

I swear you losers only half-jokingly root for her because you think misogyny is okay when it's directed towards Kylie Jenner.

The Wall Street Journal doing a profile of Club Chalamet is so embarrassing. We need to stop ironically stanning creeps and misogynists, especially ones who, like this loser, are proud Zionists, TERFs & victim blamers.

Hollywood & Crime: How The Murder of Rebecca Schaeffer Changed California’s Stalking Laws One of the scariest true crime cases in L.A. history forced a reckoning across the nation.

Stalking has long plagued the entertainment industry but it wasn't until the murder of one rising star that legislation became a reality.

Right?! Just the platonic ideal of the New York rom-com.

Tonight's film.

I would have felt very comfortable too.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

There was a brawl at the ice hockey game tonight and three players from each team ended up in the penalty box. I love this sport.

I have my local team and also support the Sceptres. It's good character building to align oneself with a cursed team. That's my excuse.
