Tessa

A screenshot of Tessa’s last four films watched on Letterboxd: from right to left, She Rides Shotgun, Pump up the Volume, Transformers (2007), The Naked Gun (2025).

My #LastFourWatched include an excellent if flawed action thriller, a perfect anti-authoritarian middle finger, homework for an upcoming @asimovcast.bsky.social project, and a much, much needed laugh.

It’s the 7th of the month…so it’s time for a new episode of @payattention007pod.bsky.social! This month we talk about the return of Sean Connery in DIAMOND ARE FOREVER and the entrance of the franchise into the 1970s. Does the cat wearing diamonds make this Sofie’s favorite? Listen to find out!

MUSTARD! 😍

This is an excellent point

Then @silberwhatever.com chimed in, “instead of colonialism, humans got really into meddling in other people’s personal drama”

Me: STAR TREK really is a show about ppl being too nosy for their own good

@chickentendi.bsky.social: Why else would you go to space, if not to be nosy?

The salad is nourishing and flavorful

Aww you are making me blush 🥰

I don’t think I have ever achieved the level of relaxation achieved by the cat on a daily, nay hourly, basis.

If you like post apocalyptic films, action films, and/or just solid film making and acting, check this gem out.

If you need something to scratch that Pay Attention, 007 itch between our monthly eps, check out our bonus eps, available exclusively on the @moviejawn.com Patreon, for members and for individual purchase. Our ep on ‘60s Bond spoofs is really fun! I talk about the infamous O.K. CONNERY!

This project coming soon! #TransformersForTransFriends

I enjoyed meeting you too! Seeing the movie on big screen made my inner child very happy.

How did the vinyl not just catch on fire wherever you played it with that soundtrack?

You are apparently not alone! The animation is better than it has any right to be, genuinely wild to think this is a toy ad on steroids.

Watching TRANSFORMERS (1986) for a project and has any movie ever gone this hard?

Gator has been my friend for a very long time, and he’s excited for rep in Live and Let Die!

Doing the Chris Pratt arm so the dinosaurs at the park don’t attack me

Yay Captain Blood!

Rewatching Face/Off and pre-9/11 Hollywood depictions of terrorism ruled???

Nic Cage (Castor Troy!!) is a for-hire guy doing Joker crimes while maintaining a He-Man/Skeletor relationship with 1 single FBI agent

Portrait of a Lady on Fire is one of my all time favs. I cry so hard every time.

It was one of the ones I hadn’t seen, and I loved it. It was very much a “dudes go on an adventure,” and I loved the Ebirah design and that Godzilla was just trying to to take a nap!

Favorite new-to-me watches in July:

The War of the Worlds (1953)
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)
Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (1966)
Legend (1985)
Our Man Flint (1966)
Key Largo (1948)
Armageddon (1998)

Oh, also, The Twilight Zone

Castlevania. Vivid and innovative animation, compelling characters, and complete economy of storytelling. Plus, you know, vampires.

Honestly, when asked, I didn’t remember what his given name is. He’s just Maverick.

Two men, one in a white suit and the other in tactical gear, point guns at each other.

This scene alone is so thrilling and yet so many emotions go over their faces during their tense convo. It’s basically their meet cute, and their relationship gets even deeper from there.

God, now I need to watch this movie again.

Hard Boiled is my favorite Woo! What an incredible film, action and emotion!

Booo, buying adult things like cars sucks.

Wow, that’s so much JK Rowling controversy for one con. I’m sorry your plans didn’t work out; that really sucks.
