The Last Jedi was released 7 years ago today. I chuckle to myself when I think that when I left the theater, I thought this movie would be absolutely adored by the fandom. Or at least that people would be normal about what is just a movie. In any case, it remains my favorite SW

Many have talked about how The Brutalist is the first movie to be shot on VistaVision in 20 odd years, but I don't think I've seen anyone bring up the insane fact that the last one was The End of Evangelion lol

The takes I’m seeing on ANORA today are truly telling of the collective inability to analyze media. It’s very clear that the movie is a movie about class. Ani sees Ivan as a naive attempt at moving up. Igor, the audience surrogate, is the only person that sees that throughout. 1/

The Sopranos premiered 26 years ago today in 1999. No one knew the impact these words would have on the world

Every year I wonder if David can top the combination of the Anthony Weiner doc and Popstar’s “Humble” but I think #9 here might’ve done it, anyway donate to his fundraiser for the Palestinian red Crescent Society gofundme.com/f/help-support…

Nickel Boys is out now on digital and you should really watch this special film

For all new to NYC Mayor Eric Adams & being appalled by him, his corruption, & general weirdness, this thread is for you. I’ve been following his behavior since his run for office in 2021. Here’s some truth on the worst mayor in NYC History. Receipts in no particular order:
