A wonderful American filmmaker and professor is gone. Michael Roemer, a chronically underappreciated director whose masterpiece, Nothing But a Man, should be seen by everyone who cares about truly independent cinema, has died at 97. His work lives on, as does his influence in all those he taught.

Shameful.

Andy Serkis tried to steal my wedding ring today, so yeah, it was a good day.

I just realized that Doctor Who is dropping on Disney+ at 2AM CT. Hmmm. This is going to be a series of choices the next eight weeks.

I love shows about madness and I’m so happy Game Changer is back.

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple

People, you can't make a dark TV show called Your Friends and Neighbors when there is *already* a freaky but interesting Neil Labute movie by that name! Same goes for the annoying existence of a 2005 Kicking & Screaming when a solid 1995 indie exists. Some of us are old and can remember things!

Today my 8YO started telling me excitedly about “non-berry” people. She informed me: - it’s wrong to call them “he” or “she” because they use them/they pronouns - They’re not boys or girls - They have a flag and it’s gray and purple and yellow and white - they all believe in ghosts

Why wouldn’t Netflix have the Everybody’s Live Willy Loman sketch as a sharable clip?

I watched the trailer this morning and I can't stop laughing at "None of what you said is good." JP fans will get that tattooed, it will have shirts of that quote for decades, four reboots from now someone will pay homage by saying something else isn't good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jan5...

I finished the new episode of Severance and immediately checked to make sure I didn't have Thursday plans for next week.

Funniest performance on TV never nominated for any award.

There's no competition that The Substance is the craziest movie ever nominated for Best Picture. When nominations become predictable, it's good to stand back and remember how nuts this movie is and it will forever be in Oscar history.

I rewatched Episode 14 of Twin Peaks: The Return last night and was loving what a perfect final culmination of a career this series was.

Social media used to be fun

Post your favorite #DoctorWho. Wrong answers only.

It's kinda crazy that Hirokazu Kore-eda keeps making Netflix miniseries.

Wonderful piece by @petridishes.bsky.social today that made me emotional: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Another night of D&D night where I'm co-DM-ing. Four times now people have asked "Is this from Doctor Who?" And the answer is no. For the second anything looks sorta like Doctor Who, I'm aware I have to pivot hard so it's not obvious.

This company is deeply evil, and on top of that this move is going to be what finally makes Facebook collapse into itself

Someone else posted this and I've been thinking a lot about how we got here

I was at the library checking out books at the self-check station when a young man walked in and asked the librarian for George R.R. Martin's THE WINDS OF WINTER. I admired the way she got "Oh, honey, I'm so sorry…" into her tone while staying factual about the book's availability.

With so many folks posting about THE MUPPETS CHRISTMAS CAROL tonight, it might blow your minds a bit to know that every single costume in the film (human & Muppet alike) was designed by Polly Smith, co-inventor of the sports bra. Merry Christmas!

I hope everybody gets what they want for Christmas this year, unlike Divine, who hates Christmas, because she didn’t get cha-cha heels.

Wordle 1,281 1/6* 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 My second 1!!!!!

"Robert, will pressing this button lead to the breaking of reality and the formation of a cosmic evil?"

Today at The Reveal: My annual picks for the year's best movie posters.

*ctrl-f "Challengers" in all of the early awards and predictions." What the fuck?

When you discover a work ally.

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.

Illinois has put an end to the injustice of cash bail. And it’s working better than anyone expected.

TOO SCARY

(I dunno who made this image but I looooooove it)

The Isabella Rossellini experience is so vast. You can think of her saying BIG BEEF AND CHEDDAR or you can think of her shouting SEMPRE VIVA while draped in jewels but otherwise topless or you can think of her dressed as a praying mantis and painted green! The range of a legend!!

On Letterboxd, I'm working on an Anti-Criterion challenge where you watch movies in different categories but they can't be in the Criterion Collection. Last night I watched the wrong version of Where Are My Children. Turns out, it was the female directed silent film not the cheesy 90s TV movie.

Last month I saw him in the Night of the Living Dead remake and he was just the best. A legend.

I need Young Neil's shirt.
