With all due respect for the ideological spectrum of views, one thing I really enjoyed about ‘Sinners’ was that it held cunnilingus in such high regard

Andor is a stone-cold masterpiece.

10/10 recommend

The soundtrack / score slaps like Godzilla’s tail but be warned that the soundtrack as it sits on streaming services contains a pretty big spoiler, not of the plot, but just a very pleasing grace note in the film.

‘Sinners’ is an instant classic and will be infinitely rewatchable.

I just saw Sinners and it was INCREDIBLE.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

It’s called ‘Andor’ because that’s Maarva’s last name.

Just the score of Andor is the best Star Wars movie ever.

For anyone with a brain, that big 2028 bench is thinning out by the week.

The anti-quietism of Andor — “Remember this: try” — is always relevant (and revenant), but feels especially calibrated for right now.

This will become an Andor appreciation account all of the time rather than some of the time when s2 airs.

Homeless workers now have to submit *proof of employment* to be allowed to sleep in their cars in one of the richest counties in the U.S. Welcome to America: people shivering overnight in subzero temperatures, steps from luxury ski resorts, for the privilege of keeping the local economy booming.

what's your favorite simpsons after hours scene?

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

"When mass protests broke out against his policy, Biden repeatedly condemned the activists as violent and antisemitic, responding to outlier actions that didn’t represent the movement. Biden’s slander helped splinter the Democratic coalition, giving Trump a potent wedge issue." shorturl.at/K4cPI

How is this different than what Republican senators say about Trump

If it’s anything like ‘Civil War,’ this will be a film where “real” means “completely decontextualized.” Another astonishingly banal internal contradiction by way of “apolitical” movies about the oldest political phenomenon in human history.

Every Democrat in the senate voted to confirm Rubio.

It is basically impossible to get people to believe that things like impoundment and extraordinary rendition and illegal trade wars are a crisis if nobody in a position of authority acts like they are.

Awkward moment at the stadium when they show a bunch of dudes with “go Mariners” spelled out on they’re shirts, only for them to turn around to show “sell the team” on the back 😂😂 @crawfordchrisv.bsky.social

People whose feelings are hurt when you like a different Star Wars than their favorite Star Wars and make fun of their favorite Star Wars:

I'm sure there will be many other justifications offered, in rapid succession. But it's wild to be heading into a self-induced recession behind more or less this reasoning.
