As much as I love that this game is still going, it kind of feels like if the Mariners don't win, they deserve to lose based on how many opportunities they have squandered away in extras

Everyone start posting fake spoilers so she doesn't know what to believe!

This made me tempted to say something like HOMERUN TORK on my feed to see if you would believe it

It’s often laugh-out-loud funny, unbelievably sweet, and devastating. This is Derek Cianfrance doing something fresh and completely unexpected from his heavier tones, but also something entirely within his wheelhouse and still emotionally heavy #Roofman

Mostly an excuse for a silly murder mystery, shady behavior, implausible twists, and well-meaning characters touched with a case of enraging stupidity to keep the attempts at suspense going #TheWomaninCabin10

#TRON:Ares is all recycled storytelling and tropes, with nothing worthy of the spectacle the film aims for or Trent Reznor gracing the soundtrack

What transpires throughout #AftertheHunt and what the filmmakers seem to believe they are getting at is nothing short of an off-putting misfire that's full of itself and not nearly as intelligent as it thinks it is

One of the funniest and dumbest things about Tron Ares is that it thinks everyone can't put down some hot new gaming franchise called Space Paranoids lol. Real energy of being made by filmmakers with no finger on any cultural pulse

If all goes as planned, I will watch 5 movies at #CIFF two weeks from today, which would be a new record in one day for me. It's a killer lineup with good stuff every day

Told from three distinct perspectives across various communications centers and branches of the US government, writer/director Kathryn Bigelow’s #AHouseofDynamite is an intense hypothetical on modern-day nuclear warfare

This isn’t just a film making good on a nifty, chilling, and tantalizing premise, but one with a legitimately emotive and often striking performance from a real animal #GoodBoy

This is a film where a character makes an offhand remark hoping they don’t become a cliché, in a narrative that is, eventually, consumed by tropes and not being nearly as psychologically deep as it believes it is #BoneLake

I can only assume people are taking it to task for being graphic, and I totally understand if that triggers someone, but that does not make this a bad movie. Yes, it's about a famous boxer. It's also about a woman under terrifying control with no opportunity to explore her actual identity

Rob @flickmythrob.bsky.social · 8d

Also didn't realize Sydney Sweeney had a performance like this in her. But Merrit Wever, she's a monster of a mother with a line that hangs over the film like a dark cloud, as if taking abuse is normal and what's expected of Christy
