This ad about how great Google Gemini is ends by telling us how Ted, the protagonist and a big James Blunt fan, “found something he didn’t even know he was looking for” at a James Blunt concert where James Blunt is playing not “High” by James Blunt but “She’s So High” by Tal Bachman.

Robert Rodriguez understood “the need to balance the brutality with beauty,” @robertguydavis.bsky.social writes. “And casting two of the most beautiful people to grace movie screens in the last half-century or so is what elevates ‘Desperado’ to another echelon.” crookedmarquee.com/annihilation...

Hell, even Quentin Tarantino looks movie-star handsome (well, kinda) in this one! It's me at @crooked-marquee.bsky.social breaking out the six-string to sing the praises of Robert Rodriguez's DESPERADO, turning 30 this year!

That fills your feed with watch adverts and keeps out shit you don’t want

"Anderson had a *vision*. A loud, lurid, lizard-brain vision, sure, but isn’t that what one wants from MORTAL KOMBAT?"

Hey, it's me writing up the latest instalment of the Binge/Foxtel legal drama THE TWELVE for @screenhub.bsky.social! Is CAPE ROCK KILLER filler or a thriller? There's one* way to find out, and that's by clicking that link.
*two, if you count watching the show

Underrated big shift in the influencer era in terms of who has cultural capital: away from performers, writers, artists, musicians etc and to people who are really good at running a small business and doing SEO/social media.
Pretty polar opposite political valences in those skillsets.
If you're a sucker for bloodsuckers, snap up the bumper @umbrellaent.bsky.social Collector's Edition set of DAYBREAKERS immediately! And be sure to get the CE for a couple of great essays by yours truly 🦇🧛♂️

In “The Island,” blockbuster filmmaker Michael Bay added social commentary and existential dread to his trademark Bayhem. Two great tastes that taste great together? More like an intriguing flavor imbalance, @robertguydavis.bsky.social writes: crookedmarquee.com/brother-can-...

What happens when Hollywood's alpha male of action cinema slips a little existentialism into his escapism? With “The Island,” the results are somewhat confusing but strangely compelling. crookedmarquee.com/brother-can-...

"I guess anything that's feature-length and in focus would be seen as a comeback after CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW TURD (thanks for saving me a seat at the Algonquin Round Table, guys)."

"I know everyone's saying Cera was tailor-made for WesWorld but he's *amazing* in this, not only a natural for Anderson's style but showing that he might be one of the best actors we've got right now."

it's so bleak that for years we've all be so worried about there being no venues to write when in reality the danger is that no one will be able to read anyway lol
