I probably liked Flying Lotus grindhouse but also experimental extraplanetary sci fi ASH more than my stars indicate, but I'm a soft touch for this kind of Eiza González with a flamethrower led, synthesizer soundtracked horror show and am second guessing the fun I had with the film as a result. 📽️

I’m bitter and and angry and so I can’t decide between “Back in my day, we defended our club houses FROM neo Nazis” and “please do tell me more about how the youths will save us” jokes here. And that’s honestly pretty frustrating.

Great thread on various filmed versions of Ivanhoe. I’ve only seen the crappy 1952 version but I’ve read the book a couple times and endorse this author’s preferences.

Sorry. But do you understand how rarely Hereward the Wake comes up here in the states?

This is very true but think I’d add that Robin Hood we know is both “things ripped off from Ivanhoe” and this other thing where because of Ivanhoe, Robin Hood essentially became Hereward the Wake in subsequent tellings. 🤔

I remember Siskel and Ebert preferring BLACK ROBE to Michael Mann’s magnificent adaptation of LAST OF THE MOHICANS because Robe was literally muddier

I am so much more excited about getting to watch Theron and Ngo scrape in OLD GUARD 2 than I am about Superman it’s kinda startling to me.

This is true and a good line and I both appreciated and reposted it, but also we - I mean - cosmopolitan liberal multiculturalists collectively need to STOP talking like we don’t know they mean fallen to uppity POC, creative class and therefore financially independent women and unashamed LBGTQIAs.

Was with 100k+ people in Hyde Park last night having a lovely evening as the sun set. Walked to Green Park to get home and passed dozens of great bars + restaurants. These tedious misanthropes need to go outside.

I feel like people just need to fully process the thing where diversity and urbanity are liberalizing and Gen-X was both whiter by a lot and more exurban by more than that.

So the obvious film to double feature with Marshall’s DOOMSDAY is probably Stephen Leger and James Mather’s LOCKOUT but I’m wondering what else y’a got #FilmSky? Banlieue 13? What? 🎥

The best time to stop with your third party bullshit was in 2000. The second-best time was in 2016. The third-best time was in 2024. And now here we are.

Would be pointless to re litigate this one at this late date but it was winnable.

Just me or does everyone always get a good natured chuckle out of the whole thing where there are post apocalyptic cannibal punk go-go dancers in DOOMSDAY that the heroes have to drive thru a giant heard of cattle to reach? Like I didn’t get Neil Marshall anything that Christmas but there he was 🎁 🎥

The GOP could sure ‘own libs’ and the mainstream media if they nominated Mark Robinson here. Would sure show them.

Shock announcement: NC Senator Thom Tillis just announced he is retiring, less than 24 hours after he opposed starting debate on his party’s mega bill. His seat is up in 2026, and having it be an open seat sure changes the calculus and Democratic chances of flipping it.

The analogy is to mid-1930s Germany, not to 1942. Right-wing populist nationalists with a cult of personality that tried a coup, failed, regained power while vowing to violently scapegoat minorities, then dismantled rule of law from within. How identical do they need to be to allow comparison?

Serling always reminds me that among many other terrible toxic hateful things. A big part of the reactionary regressive (maga) project is erasing people like him from our collective cultural history. To absolve bigotry and murder by pretending that once no one objected to it.

Speaking of Rod Serling.... he was dropping bars here... about Black soldiers who were fighting for this country only to come back home and get treated as if they weren't even citizens.... this is an example of a true ally. He used his voice & his art to speak up & speak out.

Ok funny story. When Coming to America was released in 1988, Coming, Die Hard, Rain Man and Working Girl were not only all hits, they all had similar mid $30 something budgets. Making it the LAST YEAR just a shit ton of commonly accepted Hollywood “truths” were even arguably true.

Great PBS piece this weekend w/our amazing friend Robin Tyler, rightfully known as the first "out" lesbian comic (team actually, Harrison & Tyler). They began in the 70s. Brilliant, funny & often risked their lives..the anger of small minded men... www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrzE...

Have already talked about this way too much for a 26th (?) film that doesn’t been made, or cast from a filmmaker who has a whole other $250m mega film to make between now and it so I’ll stop w/ IMO Denis is who you hire to get a Spectre that costs more and performs worse not to get a Casino Royale.

"My religion doesn't believe in race-mixing." "My religion doesn't believe another religion is true or should be discussed." "My religion opposes allowing girls to study sciences or to read literature." Fuck your religion. And fuck any court that allows you to impose on public education for all.

Just a reminder of one of the things Joe Biden did for us last Pride. He pardoned all the LGBT+ service members wrongly convicted. We've gone from this, to a President and administration that seeks to ban LGBT+ service members all together. The two sides are NOT the same. #Pride #LGBT
