I like the β€œwe’ve been at war with iran for 40 years” talking point because by implication surviving members of the reagan bush natsec team should be tried for treason

Have you heard about the new A24 kinda-rom-com about gay BDSM biker culture? That’s PILLION, starring Alexander Skarsgaard and Harry Melling, and we’re thrilled to have our friend @naylandblake.bsky.social riding with us! #filmsky

"Anglo derived culture from our history"... STFU, my guy. In general I'm more incensed over the leaders swollen with authoritarian righteousness, but the amount of absolute mouth breathers they've promoted is wild.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

As our guest @kristenklopez.bsky.social sagely observes, you never know what's gonna be weaponized next in Sam Raimi's SEND HELP! We had a blast talking about this movie and comparing notes on our favorite (literal) "desert island movies". #filmsky

There's normally only one juror for NEXT (an odd number of people!), which is such a fun/strange twist on "jury".

Now entering The Bone Temple: @jordanmorris.bsky.social We're talking 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. This time Nia DaCosta is in the director's chair, the needle drops are hitting, and the kids (and their wigs) are not alright. Plus a Hotline Call about food movies!

Stand With Minnesota A directory of places to give to as Minnesota defends itself from ICE occupation

The images and stories coming out of my beloved homestate enrage or inspire me (or both)... community action and support is what will get us through. If you also feel powerless but want to help, I recommend this mutual aid and materials directory.

I saw Kayo at the Spirit Awards Nominee Brunch last weekend and my immediate reaction was to hide from his gaze lest he target me.

"I think you've still got lightning in you."

Wes Anderson, man. That quote could be in so many of his films. Loved the excuse to rewatch these films and talk about them in detail, and found it heartening that all the tears shed were not just my own.

Live: Mayor Frey blasts ICE in fiery response to fatal shooting The mayor called for calm after a fatal shooting by an immigration agent in south Minneapolis. ICE said the agent acted defensively.

This murder by ICE is horrific and expected, and their violence will continue accelerating because everything from their (minimal) training to their orders prioritizes aggression without any regard to humanity. Get them off the streets and start prosecuting them.

Marya (an incredible advocate for women making films) gets at the heart of things in this thread, as it’s even more frustrating than the headline. There are so many talented female directors out there pushing hard to make indies, but they aren’t given the same shot at the big leagues.

I think it's pretty interesting that two of our most enduring Christmas villains/dudes in need of redemption are landlords.

This was fun… mostly hilarious with a few sprinkles of earnestness, that special Screen Drafts blend.

I only met James Ransone briefly, at the Spirit Awards where he was part of the Altman Award winning ensemble for Sean Baker's Starlet. His joy struck me, as he often portrayed such complex figures struggling with darkness. It's heartbreaking to think of his own life in those terms. Rest in peace.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Not to get all Winchester '73 with it, but that is the same gun Melissa Joan Hart used to kidnap Mario Lopez in Holiday in Handcuffs.
