I watched The Lady Eve on the treadmill earlier this evening and what a glorious romcom that is. So I was thinking about starting the Bridget Jones series, which I've never seen. But I feel strongly that the second S should be orange not blue, so now I have to watch something else, right? #FilmSky

Wrestling with this movie is so delightfully frustrating. NW #FilmSky

101st time watching a movie in 2025 underway. My milestones through 100 are entertaining to me. #FilmSky

Happy weekend. #FilmSky

If you had to distill all of Wes Anderson to a single line of Anderson dialogue, it would be "You're taking something out on me." NW The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. #FilmSky

Godard's A Woman is a Woman. New 4K restoration. NW #FilmSky

I don't know if this will work, #FilmSky.

Pour one out for the director of the next #Bond movie. Even if they make a top 5 movie in the franchise, the internet will hate it.

So much of the punditry around Trump is just people bending over backwards to write anything other than the plain truth: This was the easiest and most obvious election choice in modern small-d democratic history and voters really did something wrong, stupid, and dangerous.

Some Like It Hot is a classic with a great cast and excellent laughs, but it's strange how sloppy and inefficient it is compared to what we know Wilder was capable of. It takes over 20 minutes to get Lemmon (*incredible* in this) and Curtis in dresses and meet Monroe. I want Joe E Brown! NW #FilmSky

There's a lot of hyperbole and presentism in film discussion, so I want to proceed with some caution, but it's genuinely shocking how good Gerwig's first three solo directorial movies are. NW #FilmSky

Now watching Rocks, presented by TIFF New Wave. I've never heard of this movie, actually, but I trust this program. #FilmSky

Keaton 🤝 Kendrick 5'5" superstars. NW The General. Let me hear you say BUSTER. #FilmSky

The French Dispatch is one of the more audacious and intelligent movies of the last five years and most everyone just kind of shrugged it off like "Oh, that Wes Anderson." Anderson is not stuck in or held back by his style. You are. NW #FilmSky

Watching The In-Laws (1979). I'll watch anything with Falk or Arkin, let alone both, but beyond them this little action, family, buddy comedy has a lot of appeal, and it's strange that it's largely been forgotten. #FilmSky

NW Another movie that I've needed to see since it came out. Clearing out my watchlist. I should get a prize of something. #FilmSky

NW American Fiction. Never seen this one before. On Prime in Canada. #FilmSky

Heat might be my 2nd favourite non-Scorsese De Niro performance, after Godfather II. And in the case of both, it's so captivating how he and Pacino are acting opposite each other even when they're not onscreen together. NW. #FilmSky

This movie is so real and smart and heartbreaking, in such a poignant and unapologetically artistic and powerful way. In an all-time Oscars without language or geographic bias, it might be the favourite to win Best Picture. NW #FilmSky

Why's he able to do so? In no small part because six months ago if you said "America under Biden has made years of progress on gun violence," you'd get laughed at and mocked. True on dozens of issues.

The supposed distractions are not half as distracting as all the people who want to talk about nothing other than what they suppose are distractions. If you think X is a distraction and people should be talking about Y instead, the proper remedy is to talk about Y.

School of Rock works so well cause Dewey was actually a great teacher: #FilmSky

I thought Canada was going to replicate the 2024 American election without the vibe shift intermezzo. Yet here we are. Carney is Brat. #CDNpoli

"“Competent white men must be in charge” is as close to a rallying cry as I can imagine for the Trump administration, although, of course, it strains credulity to say that either Trump or his subordinates count as competent."

📸🎷 Now watching #FilmSky

MW My Old Ass. I've heard good things about this. #FilmSky

North by Northwest is on #TCMParty, a treat in and of itself and a reminder that it's been too long since I watched The Big Lebowski.
