I think there’s a real chance SINNERS wins Best VFX. They already gave AVATAR two of those things, and the Academy LOVES to vote for a film that’s nominated for Best Picture, or serious enough to contend, even if it’s not the most eye-popping nominee (HUGO, 1917, EX MACHINA, FIRST MAN, etc).

OSCAR IS UP FOR GRABS

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

This is what they've done.

SCREAM 7 made $97 million domestically this past weekend. Meanwhile, the Chinese racing comedy PEGASUS 3 has now made almost $650 million since it opened on the 17th. One American outlet yawns, in a perfect rage-bait headline, that "you've never heard" of the last two movies. Why do u think that is?

I need this poster.

I run into serious trouble beginning the writing process, but then get hyperfixated when I finally begin. I suspect it’s different writing criticism than writing fiction, since I’m able to turn my stream of consciousness and unlikely digressions into a gonzo style that allows for odd structuring.

a title card from the short film " Dawn of an Evil Millennium - An 18-Hour Epic Adventure " says the name " Miles O'Keeffe "

"How much Keeffe is in this movie, anyway?"

Sorry to focus on these assholes, this’ll be the last one - but “gay theater kids larping” basically describes most of Star Trek… hell most of sci-fi television before the streaming era.

25. Top 10 of 2025 Part 1 Podcast Episode · TRANS PANIC · February 12 · 1h 12m

I'm no one to judge but I wish Louise Weard and Aoife Josie Clements released TRANS PANIC podcast episodes more often.

I'm halfway through their Best of 2025 (Part 1) list and I've already clocked a bunch of amazing-sounding films I didn't hear ANY other critics discuss last year.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

For my entire life, the people protesting US wars have always been ultimately vindicated and that being right is completely forgotten when the next war comes.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Your opposition to war can just be that war is evil. it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

F for Fake

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran has no mandate – or legal basis US president violates UN charter just days into his Board of Peace era, and chooses to take the biggest gamble of his administration

“The first war of Donald Trump’s Board of Peace era has begun – an unprovoked attempt at regime change in collaboration with Israel, with no legal foundation, launched in the midst of diplomatic efforts to avert conflict, and with minimal consultation with Congress or the American public.”

let’s stop calling each new outrage a “distraction” from the last outrage and instead call it what it is: a vast ongoing machine of death, kidnapping, graft, abuse, and larceny built to operate on many fronts simultaneously at home and abroad for the benefit of the wannabe god-emperor and his toads

Donald the Dove, Hillary the Hawk Maureen Dowd By Maureen Dowd April 30, 2016

Never let Maureen Dowd or the New York Times forget

Twin Peaks title card with KEEP CIRCULATING THE TAPES as the title

But the sixth lead of NewsRadio told me Donald Trump wouldn’t start a Middle East war

Fang Fiction, by Kate Stayman-London

Kate Stayman-London’s FANG FICTION! Vampire portal fiction with plus-size and queer representation galore! (Full Disclosure: I know the author, very well, but it’s a great book.)

True Story:

The first thing I ever read - as in, understood the words I was reading, having an “aha” moment, realizing that words were magical and profound - was an issue of Larry Hama’s G.I. JOE.

And even I knew what he actually fucking meant.

Larry Hama rules. Those “fans” are anything but.

There won't be another movie like Sinners coming from Warners anytime soon and it was brilliant and a hit! People need to understand that part of it. It's not just what they're going to do to your TV. I'm convinced part of the reason they're so hard for WB is they're mad about Cooglers success

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

Two words: Police Blimps.

PLURAL.

“Hey, who should we get to write the new film in a franchise nobody gives a shit about and never makes any money?”

“How about a guy who only wrote one successful movie 14 years ago, who everyone HATES working with and has a LOT of sex crime allegations?”

“HELL YEAH! WE’RE PARAMOUNT!”

“P-BOYS!”

I *desperately* tried to get my fellow critics to watch MARS EXPRESS in 2023 and consider it for awards. If you haven’t seen it, it’s got some recognizable genre elements but it does its own thing, brilliantly, and its main characters are fascinating people.
