Longlegs (2024) - dir. Osgood Perkins

Got to meet one of the most interesting persons on the planet tonight. By consensus, the audience agreed the xenomorph and Mr Babadook are the most fuckable movie monsters. (Godzilla had a respectable third)

WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed. It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

David Zaslav has failed at literally everything he was hired to do and he should have every cent he's earned garnished and used to compensate all the people he fucked over in his pursuit of this unmitigated disaster of a result. variety.com/2024/tv/news...

One thing about being an A/V tech, even though you're wearing a different uniform than the hotel staff, even though your shirt and nametag read "Audio Visual", even though you're carrying extension cords and a roll of gaffer tape People will still wave you down and ask for silverware

Lotta irony in British folks voting to kick out the Tories on the Fourth of July, three days after the Supreme Court made the US presidency a monarchy. That being said, kick out those Tories, friends.

In these times of chaos, the only weapon against despair is to enjoy the little things. Like the woman at the pool who asked the well-meaning but unversed 19yo at the snack shack for a drink recommendation, being served an incredibly piney and bitter IPA. The sound she made after her first sip...

I'm bringing back a classic from the old website: Joe Biden is the human form of the shrug emoticon

“I will not use my office to the fullest extent allowable but my opponent will” is a really bad takeaway actually. Just pack the court man.

The thing that's telling and exasperating about the centrist "Biden must drop out" calls is that... this was their guy! They act like the left insisted on him! But Biden was the guy they were saying Democrats should instead rally around when it looked like we might pick Bernie!

Earlier this week, I broke down and bought from Amazon for the first time in eight years. And what I got was crap. Part of it was broken, the rest was flimsy, about ready to break. So when they announce they're cutting costs further...

Shein and Temu are cutting into Amazon’s business, so now the ecommerce giant is planning to respond with a discount section of its own.  It’s another stage in retail’s race to the bottom on labor abuses and environmental harm — and it needs to be stopped before it’s too late.

I saw my first Cybertruck today. It was MATTE black, like the guy spray painted it. The rearview mirrors looked like little pennants. The turn signals looked like they belonged on a kid's bike. It was so silly looking. You bought that? New?

Hey, remember when they made a movie version of the Les Misérables musical, and Eddie Redmayne did the whole thing in a Dudley Do-Right voice?

People are saying streaming has reinvented cable. It's a little more complicated than that, but there is one accurate parallel. When cable was too expensive, people learned to love broadcast because it was free.
