no joke here, just a reminder that the ultra wealthy do not see you as human but rather as a resource to extract for profit

Those are rookie numbers.

The Thin Man (1934)

I’m watching a lot of petty, mean-spirited haters dunking on Kid Rock on every platform and seriously you all rock.

GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Movie posters for Alphaville (1965), The People's Joker (2022), The Killer Elite (1975), and Seven Dials (2026).

The People's Joker (2022) is a deliberately surreal mess that becomes a heartfelt story of acceptance. This movie deserves your attention, even if you're anti-anti-comedy.

The Killer Elite (1975) deserves to be forgotten.

Please listen to every Californian telling you Gavin Newsom is a terrible choice and you should not anoint him the Democratic nominee for 2028.

The only thing Gavin Newsom actually cares about is Gavin Newsom. He will sacrifice anyone and anything you care about for his political ambitions.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Unbelievable

The Tom Waits classic "Eggs And Sausage (In A Cadillac With Susan Michelson)".

You can either just click on "watched" or, just to make your antipathy clear, rate it a half-star.

Four days into having a child, what I’m most impressed by in Lone Wolf and Cub now is not Ogami Ittō’s impressive swordsmanship or taking care of a child alone but having time to do literally anything other than meet the basic needs of a baby

Yeah but what if the Melania movie was called Seven Samurai instead? And then when you went to see it they just showed you Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 masterpiece Seven Samurai? I bet you liberals would *love* it then. Typical.

Movie posters for Quatermass II (1957), Sew Torn (2024), 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) and Becoming Led Zepplin (2025).

The 28 Years movies are the sharpest, most resonant "zombie" films since... well, the 28 Days series. I recommend you run like mad to see The Bone Temple (2026) while you still can.

Your reminder that massive corporate tax cuts don’t create jobs, they create profits.

My apologies for misunderstanding, but Badger was not terrible either. Are we thinking of the meth head who stole the ATM?

Not true. Skinny Pete had redeeming qualities.

Movie posters for Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), The Straight Story (1999), 13th (2016), and Johnny Mnemonic (1995).

The documentary 13th is almost a decade old, but it might as well have come out last week. It demands your attention like a slap in the face. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday #MovieSky #FilmSky

Decided to take a mental break tonight and watch some movie I’ve never seen before and didn’t know much about.

I chose: THE MIST (2007).

Hahahaha. Ha. Oh god.

Movie posters for Moonrise Kingdom (2012), The Quartermass Xperiment (1955), Tron: Ares (2025), and Bottoms (2023).

I have mixed feelings about Moonrise Kingdom (2012). While I don't think it needed the scene of preteens groping each other in their underwear, the film seems a fun, sincere attempt to show the madness and redemptive possibilities of first love. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday #MovieSky #FilmSky

I am now ready to admit I have too many books but I am not ready to admit that anything follows from this. It is an isolated fact shedding no light and recommending no course of action.

Movie posters for Love Lies Bleeding (2024), The Sixth (2024), Breathless (1960), and Stranger Things (2025).

I watched The Sixth (2024) this past week because of the anniversary. And the current state of the world makes it feel incomplete.

It's like a chapter in a horror series that's not even close to its finale. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdSunday #MovieSky #FilmSky

Comic panels show Superman ripping open a cargo vehicle filled with humanoid aliens. "Let's get you out of there," he says. A man wearing riot gear shoots a type of pistol while others look on in shock. The man shooting says, "That's not Superman. Superman wouldn't help aliens. He's for human rights. He's for us!" Superman blocks the shot with one hand, keeping a fightened green alien from being hit. "I'm for everyone. And you should know that officer," he says.

A panel that goes incredibly hard.
