Pegging myself as an '80s kid, but my cassette of "Les Misérables" literally snapped at "Master of the House" because I listened to that song so many times. And at 6 or 7, I felt so grown-up and dirty!

The loss of matte painting is one of the key reasons Hollywood films have lost so much of their beauty and luster over the past several decades. No CGI I've ever seen is as beautiful, evocative, or meaningful as this image.

You're the best

@bcdreyer.social Can you settle a debate that is dividing our high school English hallway this morning:

"Every employee and intern must submit
___ (his or her/their) credentials."

Besides the fact that "their" is more appropriate today, is the subject here singular or plural?

I don't want to brag, but this is the exact double feature I recommended on @attcpod.bsky.social!

That's why most any homework my students have is what they didn't complete in class (usually because of time management); very little work for works sake!

As always, Matt Singer is mostly right (haven't seen the latest one, put Punch-Drunk at 2, and this is probably my list...).

Well, I believe your GIF there is proof of what should be Number One!!!

An illustration of a scene from Fargo drawn in the style of the comic strip The Far Side: Marge encountering the wood chipper situation and exclaiming, “Oh Jeez.”

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?

Hulu just added Death of Stalin and Weekend at Bernie’s (and is featuring them on their main page this weekend)… it’s just very funny.

COMING TOMORROW: We are going back to camp and bringing @directorsclub.substack.com with us! It's WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER time!! And it's a movie so monumental, its also our longest episode of all time!!

Had my own “Harold!” moment tonight when, mid-Megalopolis, the lady behind me yelled “oh, they’re lesbians!” However, one of her lesbians was actually Shia LaBeouf.

@ticketmaster.com I would love you to ask The Chicago Theatre why they just decided to close our section for tonight and move us to seats we don’t like with no notice or refund!!

I want this on a t-shirt!

This!

You know you can just make a list of movies you like without giving any money or further attention to the NY Times, right?

Yes for DETROIT ROCK CITY love! One of my favorite @attcpod.bsky.social discoveries

A still from the animated film, Porco Rosso, directed by Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. In this shot Porco Rosso, a pig on a rain coat, hat and sunglasses sits next to a military officer from the Italian facist army.

Always remember what Porco Rosso said:

Damn, wish I could make it!

Better than the movie, some might say!

Then comes the musical number!

Last of the Mohicans is a blindspot and high on my watchlist this month!

tweet from Chicago Trib reporter Rick Pearson: Advisory from IL Dem Gov JB Pritzker’s office on planned Wednesday visit of Homeland Security Secy Kristi Noem to Springfield: “We would urge all pet owners in the region to make sure all of your beloved animals are under watchful protection while the Secretary is in the region.” Can't really think of any Kristi Noem erotica nothing slays horniness faster than Mar-A-Lago face, which is like you took your hands, smush the facial features until their wee tines like Charlie Kirk—also supremely unfuckable—and then add enough lip filler to stuff a narwhal. Anyway, sorry about ruining your sex life.

lmao

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie

Salo, or the 240 Days of Sodom

That a long dying pope was able to hang on just long enough to de-pants JD Vance before the world, and then he instantly kicked off like Art Carney in The Last Action Hero, has prompted me to consider the existence of a god for the first time in decades. A god with story sense and sharp comic timing

Aaaaaah! This was my gateway drug!
