the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

A ★★★★★ review of Hamnet (2025) First rewatch of HAMNET. Man, this film is exactly as devastating as it was the first time. This time I want to praise Noah and Jacobi Jupe als Hamnet, who did do an amazing job of being the title cha...

How many potential Bowies have we lost over the last few decades to a culture that increasingly incentivizes us to just post our ideas instead of ever actually making them?

#BABYGIRL, despite its unearned hype, is a boring film with uninteresting storytelling and a lacklustre conclusion. The only noteworthy aspect is a scene between Dickinson and Banderas. #AvondVanDeFilmMuziek #FilmSky

When a bad actress suddenly goes to direct a film, it doesn't mean it'll be good.

A ★★★★★ review of Blue Moon (2025) I think I have to change my opinion on Richard Linklater definitively. The BOYHOOD director was never one I was very impressed by. BOYHOOD was an interesting, but boring gimmick. But NOUVEAU VAGUE was...

Catherine O’Hara (1954 – 2026) 🤍

Dat D66 de Faber wetten waar het zich eerder nog zo hard tegen verzette gaat uitvoeren, en er geen Ferrier of Koppejan te bekennen is, vormt wel echt een bepalend moment in de partijgeschiedenis.

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

Catherine O'Hara Dead at 71 Catherine O'Hara -- famous for her work in "Schitt's Creek," "Home Alone," and "Best In Show" -- is dead ... TMZ has learned.

2026 needs to eff off.

RIP Catherine O'Hara

A ★★½ review of Shelter (2026) SHELTER is another Jason Statham action film. But it doesn't reach the heights of THE BEEKEEPER and only the first half is truly interesting. The relationship between Michael Mason (Statham) and Jesse...

De podcast van Boos over The Voice vind ik echt goede journalistiek. Reflectie, transparantie, eerlijkheid. Echt heel prettig

“En er wordt ook flink bezuinigd, bijvoorbeeld op de zorg en de sociale zekerheid.”

Of-fucking-course…

Mees de Wit valt dit seizoen op in een dubieus lijstje Ik houd van lijstjes. Om zelf te maken - de mooiste doelpunten van Karim Benzema (de panenka tegen Manchester City was ijskoud de beste, maar er kwamen meerdere parels van zijn voet), top tien liedjes over voetballers (Camavinga de onbetwiste leider in dit zelfbedachte klassement), de meest modieuze voetballers (zei iemand Jules Koundé?).

Ik houd van lijstjes. En Mees de Wit staat derde.

A ★★★½ review of Send Help (2026) SEND HELP is a new Sam Raimi horror that places two coworkers on a deserted island after a plane crash. Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien are Linda and Bradley. Bradley is the new CEO of his dad's firm...

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
