need a “joyride”-style edit to “garden of eden” asap, where are the unemployed gay video editors when you need them?

need carly rae jepsen on the "zombieboy" remix, i'm so serious

I’m gonna start a rumor that Jimmy Kimmel is poison for ratings 🤭

this is me any time i see one of those profiles on a tr*mp voter who didn’t realize that he was gonna be bad in office

getting over sickness means that i watched all four of these ~yesterday~

okay but if the universe of The Wicked Wiz of Oz is comparable to that of A Chorus Line, which Oz character is doing Paul's monologue?

in retrospect, it’s actually hilarious that John Travolta said yes to being in Hairspray

Chalamet signing this Polaroid as “Bobby Dylan”… he’s in his “xoxo, Joanne” bag lmao…

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Love the weirdo fallacy that everyone in film is somehow loaded. Like most of us are scraping by or, if we are fortunate, have comfortable middle class lives. A lot of people in indie film, and boutique home video, do this out of passion as opposed to wealth. It’s something we just need to do.

how far down the rabbithole the corporate erasure of trans-people goes: Clearly, Amazon Prime uses GPT for movie summaries,but someone has recently CHANGED THE GUIDELINES TO NEVER MENTION TRANSGENDER PLOTS OR CHARACTERS in summaries.The bank robbery was to pay for his lover's sex change operation.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

I love many things, and snowfall and @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social are near the top! ❄️

Yes!! Had a customer at work last night who was shocked at how busy we were on a Thursday night with weather in the teens - that’s the power of the movies, baby, and young people in Chicago know it and how special it is!

If you're looking for a concrete action to take today--and you're a Visa cardholder--take 2 min and send an email to them today. 👇

The funniest part of this whole situation is that if there indeed is an Emilia Perez shut-out (which I’m not counting on), Diane Warren will almost definitely win her first Oscar

"we just hired really shitty photoshoppers" is honestly a way funnier excuse

don't let the horrible AI slop Fantastic Four poster distract you from the fact that they released 3 other posters alongside it that, while not having any errors as immediately obvious as a hand with 4 fingers, reek of AI as well

if anyone heard chappell call for a liveable wage for performing musical artists and songwriters at the grammys and thought “what is the best organization i could support that’s fighting for that” that organization is called @umaw.bsky.social

UNION REP CHAPPELL ROAN-COLBY TALK YOUR SHIT

I’ve been ID’d twice on this trip

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

What he's announcing is a concentration camp. A deeply illegal, unconstitutional, anti-human rights atrocity. Anyone who supports this is complicit. Anyone in any federal service, military or otherwise, is morally obligated to refuse to carry out any orders related to this deeply criminal act.

kinda want hayley williams to sing “birds of a feather”

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

MPAA and runtime Oscars stats!! This year, 5 nominees received an R rating from the MPAA, 3 received a PG-13, and 2 received a PG. This is the first time since 1995 that more than one PG rated movie has been nominated for Best Picture in the same year (that year, there were 3 PG-rated movies).

My theory that there's a section of the Songwriting branch that nominates Diane Warren every year just to watch her lose again and again (akin to Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown) continues to be true

It’s not the most shocking thing in the world that both Challengers and Queer were completely shut out at the Oscars, but it’s still sad. This was supposed to be Luca Guadagnino’s “Soderbergh in 2000” year!!!

live in a red district and want to inconvenience tyranny? call your rep DAILY with an update on the local price of eggs and a demand to know why the Republican Party is focusing on nonsense issues only weirdos care about instead of keeping their promise to lower the cost of household staples

Bringing this back today because libraries are safe havens for knowledge and art and will be constantly under fire for the next four years. Even, and especially, if you live in a state that is prone to ban books, get a library card and make your voice heard. It’s very easy and costs nothing.

Hardline opposition during Trump's first term flipped both houses of Congress and defeated him at the next presidential election. Four years of walking that back, misguided attempts at triangulation, trying to move on and just do normal times policy instead resulted in him returning with a trifecta.

To me, “cancel the Oscars” is an understandable but short-sighted take that ignores a) how important the entertainment industry is to LA, b) how much that industry has suffered in recent years, and c) the potential fundraising opportunity of a televised awards show.

Finally seated for The Brutalist (in 70mm!!!!) at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social! Perfect way to spend a COLD day!

fuck it, oscar predictions
