Ryan Coogler is a director of importance, the first half of SINNERS 📽️ is extraordinary but for @intheirownleague.bsky.social the second half is such an unholy mess that to my own astonishment I can't truly recommend it intheirownleague.com/2025/04/20/r...

Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me?? Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

BLACK BAG: The best part Tom Burke has ever had, Michael Fassbender continues to be born to wear a black turtleneck, I like seeing a movie filmed in places I know a little, Soderbergh made it look gorgeous and the plot's a bracing tasting menu. And Cate of course, no notes

An original movie opens at #1 and the entertainment media needs to qualify its success the same week Steven Soderbergh has to apologize for BLACK BAG not breaking the bank. Something is deeply, deeply broken.

Not to be insufferable, but criticism is an art in and of itself. Good critical analysis can be a bridge between artist and audience. It can help recontextualize art for a changing world. Just because bad critics exist does not mean criticism itself is not worthwhile

PRISCILLA 📽️, the movie Sofia Coppola made about Meghan Markle (and Priscilla Presley), is on telly tonight. What it has to say about power, control and women's choices is pretty damn interesting intheirownleague.com/2023/10/20/l...

The "Yes, but..." tone of coverage of an R-rated non-sequel that opened at $45 million, got an "A" CinemaScore, and drew raves from critics is quite something. This is a news story, not a report to shareholders. You're allowed to say it's a hit.

On the 30th anniversary of the OKC bombing, it's particularly worth noting that the vast majority of terror attacks on U.S. soil are explicitly done in the name of white supremacist ideals. And Trump has only made this worse.

It's almost as if it's not about trans people at all, but about putting women in their place and upholding patriarchy.

Jack O'Connell takes a nearly unplayable part and manages to layer it with way more pathos than I was expecting. The fact he's also around a full head shorter than the rest of them while being the most terrifying also feels true to life

I regret to report I have been watching and enjoying SAS ROGUE HEROES - Jack O'Connell: hot (this kind of Northern Irish character is my weakness) - Alfie Allen: hotter - Amir El-Masry: a delight - the frequent use of Mötorhead: delightful - the kid from AP Bio as the most bloodthirsty of all: A+

And when I say the gender roles are strict here, I didn't take my ex's surname when we got married and members of his family swore at me on my wedding day about that. On my wedding day!

These trans women, are they miserable like I am? Do they resent their responsibilities and their families with a poisonous, slow-boiling hatred oozing out of their very marrow? Are they self-abnegating and deeply unpleasant to be around? Is their gender a cage they willingly wither and die inside?
