The only objectively correct win this year was for Dune for sound, thank you and good night.

If the Brutalist had won for production design they would have gotten all three of the good things about the movie right.

Wicked winning for production design over Brutalist and Dune should be a criminal offense.

Poor Doja Cat.

The best part of the oscars are the technical award speeches and in particular those when the people they worked with are so thrilled because they genuinely love the people.

I haven’t seen the nominee list, how many Oscars is Hot Frosty up for?

Do bad golfers get to park in handicapped spaces?

Kneecap started out rough but settled into a real nice groove. It inspired me to start a list of non-US movies about hip hop, which I'm sure is a bigger category than the two I currently have. letterboxd.com/mattheweg/li...

Remember they do stuff like this because they know the people they hate will call them stupid and clueless of the meaning and people that support them will laugh because it's funny and fun and pisses off the people they hate and then no one will pay attention to what they are really doing.

I know this won't happen because there's always a scab out there willing to sell their soul, but every filmmaker asked to make the new documentary should simply refuse until Edelman's film is released.

Strong “the teachers said not to run in the halls” vibes from democrats these days.

This is the best negative review of Dune I've read yet.

Just finished The Apartment only to realize Sheldrake is president.

What artist has the best uses of their music as needle drops in movies? Minimum 3 needle drop examples required.

I can think of a 78 who should die and it's not David Lynch. Fuck you, universe.

Finally saw Anyone But You and really impressed with Sydney Sweeney as a physical comedian, had no idea she had it in her and I hope her dip into romcoms is not a one-off.

What do we lose when corporations embrace camp?

Do you think anyone who designed a brown sugar bag ever tried to close a brown sugar bag?

The most suspenseful shot in all of cinema

Here are some of my favorite music discoveries of 2024, starting with this incredible solo debut from Little Feat's Lowell George. He died a few weeks into the tour promoting it. No idea why this isn't better known, it's a country rock masterpiece (with a perfect cover and title).

I think every day people should have to sit and think for five minutes about how good Fetch the Bolt Cutters is.

I watched the Hallmark Christmas movie A Biltmore Christmas from last year expecting to enjoy it in its awkward terribleness as usual but it actually had me heavily invested in the love story and complications of the plot. Still looks like shit but quite the surprise!

I hit 25 4★+ new-to-me watches for the year, which makes me a satisfied film viewer. It could still shift if I get in a good viewing this month, but here are my 25 favorite new watches for 2024 so far. letterboxd.com/mattheweg/li...

Sad we never got a Steely Dan cover of "Baby It's Cold Outside" with a rare Walt/Don duet.

One of the unexpected pleasures of being an older Millennial is showing your children ancient memes, like the "Friday" video I showed my music-obsessed daughter this morning. Happy Friday! funfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfun www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVs...
