I would have been more impressed if the Criterion Anderson collection came in that box.

I'm less confused given how things are these days that they rebooted Emmanuelle than I am as to how Naomi Watts came to be its touch-of-class casting effort. But also...Anthony Wong? What is going on...? #FilmSky

I get it: 10 films/25 years...that's a nice collection. But *if* I adored Asteroid City, the Anderson set would feel like a missed opportunity. A few CC box sets I'd buy: -Spaulding Gray's complete works -Rudy Wurlitzer's filmography -the six adaptations of Yukio Mishima #FilmSky

Love good archival photos but man, if you can’t tell the difference between the real thing and some suspiciously AI-ish artwork, I gotta block you.

“Golden Dome” is such a dumb fucking name. Phonetically dopey, and sounds like sex toy or a scalp disease.

I think Luca and Soul are beautiful, thoughtful, deeply satisfying films. But come on...it's Incredibles, Inside Out, and Toy Story. #FilmSky

Adding Michael Ironside or Clancy Brown to your film is an incredibly smart move. Having them both there, well, that’s just a treat. #FilmSky

Also in the tax bill…

I've been looking forward to Sons of the Neon Night for *years* and now that I've read some Cannes reviews, I am disheartened. Fingers crossed it's a not-right-for-midnight kind of a movie. #FilmSky

Had to uninstall Blue Prince, which has occupied far too much of my time but also seems built to force you to research things, which is a bad game tactic. I've endured enough. "The Blue Prince Rule" now means: things that take far too long to achieve a result that is unsatisfying. #GameSky

I mean...I get it. #FilmSky

Director of charming original film (a hands-down critical favorite) does a Disney do-over next, and their proposed follow-up is yet another IP remake. Is "one (or two or three) for them, one for us" now the rule and not the exception? #FilmSky

(spit-take) Thank you, #TheOnion.

Really sobering - sorry, I didn't intend to pun it up - to learn that Wendt was only 15 years older than me.

Maybe a year since I discovered Yard Act, who I really like, but tonight I found their 2yo video for "100% Endurance" starring the immensely watchable David Thewlis, and my appreciation has risen considerably. #MusicSky

Having to - repeatedly over years - wait (today, more than an hour) to see a doctor for a scheduled appointment makes me feel like I need a new doctor. But these days? No chance I would risk that. #NotHappySky

step 4: discover the chronic illness your FF counterpart was silently enduring

Holy mackerel, that Superman trailer looks great. #FilmSky

I did not have Ben and/or Jerry on any bingo card for the year. So there you go. #ProtestSky

Not with that attitude.
