Throwing away nearly untouched food hurt something in me ☹️

Had no issue with the β€œas you know” line, though. I hear it in the worst situations in my corporate work.

Yeah, I’d want to read the rest of this. Nicely done page one.

Kind of you to help thoughtfully. I appreciate when someone offers well-balanced notes that both encourage me and gives me something to fix.

Personally rooting for Past Lives and American Fiction (different reasons), but you’re probably right about the sweep 🫀

Image of the poster for the film Okja showing a silhouette of the super pig, Okja, being led by her person Mija. Okja seems to have a factory on her back with a chimney pumping black smoke into the atmosphere.

Waited too long to go on this journey. Glad I finally experienced Okja. Beautiful story.

I've probably seen Coherence a few dozen times. It's one of those films for me. Filmsky πŸŽ₯

May I just say I'm lovin' the ALT tag on this? I'm not blind, but I appreciate the accessibility of it, and the description drew me into the story. Thank you.

Hey, novice writer/director and still quite new to Bluesky. Anyone talking about making short films? (Made my first scripted short last year.)

Celine Song's Past Lives was masterful and beautiful. Recommended it to others as soon as I finished it. I haven't seen The Holdovers (I think that's what you're referring to) yet, but I've heard good things.

I'm just sitting over here marveling at this poster's design. Always admired it – the perception it sets. Never noticed the credits and rating along the edges before. Cool.

I think I agree; enjoyed Oppenheimer and was moved by the IMAX experience (especially sonically), but can't crown it best of the year. Curious: What are your top three underdogs?

Oh, nice! I really like Pemberton's Spider-Verse scores – especially Into the Spider-Verse. I'll check out the episode 🎧

Thanks, I didn't know about this. High hopes for the show? (I'm afraid of the quality drop traditionally seen when going from feature to series)

I’m reading Eric Heisserer’s Bird Box and throughly enjoying the pace. I particularly dig the brevity of descriptions whenever Malorie and others move through the world blindfolded. I’m learning a few things from this reading.
