Summer at the library is often like a real life adaptation of LORD OF THE FLIES without the beach.

It’s only June 7th, and like a true mid-westerner I’ve already sweated through two hats that now need a thorough cleaning and that magic touch that allows them to keep their shape.

I think calling a movie “slow” has eclipsed “plot holes” as my least favorite bit of lazy movie criticism.

Even as a visitor, I completely understand why New Yorkers loathe Times Square. So disgustingly gaudy.

I cannot mage giving one iota of shit about that new HARRY POTTER series. In an era of blatant corporate IP reliance, this might be one of the least subtle and pathetic.

Honestly, I think what has made both seasons of ANDOR great is that Tony Gilroy doesn’t really give a shit about STAR WARS.

So we are at the point now where ICE is the American version of the SS right?

“with Fight or Flight, the fun action mixed with a bonkers Josh Hartnett performance makes this one a worthwhile effort.” @brandonct.bsky.social has our review:

One of the biggest takeaways I have from SINNERS is that I’m a complete snob when it comes to craft. Yes, SINNERS would’ve always gotten noticed for how well it’s shot, but it’s all the more noticeable because of how terrible most modern movies look.

I deeply hope that Ryan Coogler doesn’t go back to the MCU. WB should be throwing themselves at him and whatever original concept he comes up with next.

It’s still pretty stunning to me that J.K. Rowling turned into such a wretched, evil hag.

Five more semesters to go before I officially finish grad school. To say I’m over it is an understatement. Working 40+ hours a week, putting in time for school, and trying to do the things you enjoy is exhausting. You end up resenting all of it.

Pretty sure we are getting close to an end of life decision for our almost 20 year old cat. She continues to lose weight, is inconsistently using the litter box, isn’t responding to meds, and is showing dramatic cognitive decline. Feels like the choice has been made really ☹️

By all accounts I should have ended this week stressed as hell, but the 70 degree weather and sunshine had other plans for me I guess.

Call me unengaged but life is far too short for me to listen to Donald Trump deliver one of his “speeches” ever again.

All over the map with some excellent old and new Asian cinema, low-tier Carpenter, and another Oz Perkins home run.

THE MONKEY is a macabre blast and maybe Oz Perkins’s best. So many exploding bodies!

None of it is about government waste. All of it is about political ideology.

I rode the back of the bus. I buried Dr. King. You want me to participate in your little hate-a-thon against some other group? Kindly kiss my black ass.

Yesterday I started my day with a bowl of Greek yogurt with granola. I felt like shit all day. Today I started my day with a donut and felt fabulous. Definitely not a coincidence.

I’m eagerly awaiting the social media posts from old people big mad about the Super Bowl halftime show. “What is this noise?! Bring back Kenny Rogers’s corpse for a proper halftime show!”.

I wrote for @southwestreview.bsky.social about Ridley Scott’s misunderstood, marrow-sick masterpiece of the End Times, THE COUNSELOR. Not a noir thriller, nor a cowboy noir, nor a crime film at all; rather, THE COUNSELOR is a soap opera of the Grand Guignol. southwestreview.com/volume-109-n...

I’m have a feeling we wouldn’t be in this mess if Elon had been shoved into a lot more lockers. Or given more wedgies.

Yeah, so I’m gonna need HEART EYES to be massively successful this weekend for a few reasons: it rules, and @joshruben.bsky.social needs to get his DARKMAN legacy sequel/reboot off the ground.

Until fairly recently I thought people were being too harsh on Fetterman. Not anymore. Fuck Sweatshirt Shrek.

As far modern slashers go, John Hyams’s SICK is miles better than either of two most recent SCREAM sequels. A great twist on the whodunnit, SICK pulls zero punches with the scares, all while leaning into some delightfully dark humor.

By the end of next year I’ll have finally completed my MLIS. Hope libraries are still around and well funded by then!

Damien Leone’s emphatic declaration that the TERRIFIER series isn’t political is probably the clearest explanation of why those movies fucking blow.

For some reason I have a strong desire to watch LETHAL WEAPON 2. You know, the one that ends with the South African villain who thinks he’s politically untouchable getting his head blown off by Danny Glover. Weird.
