Is buying a region-locked movie that won’t play, by accident, some rite of passage for being a physical media sicko? Because

It’s not like I don’t want to pay to see movies in theaters. I saw OBAA again today, and my next movies in theaters are The Thing in 35mm and A House of Dynamite. Why the fuck did Disney pick HIM.

I would like to know why, because I should have seen a sci-fi movie with Gillian Anderson and a NIN soundtrack on opening weekend.

But I didn’t, because fuck Jared Leto.

Can anyone explain how Jared Leto keeps getting work when all his films bomb and he’s a sex pest

lox, scallion cream cheese, and the works on an untoasted everything bagel.

(Literally ordered this at Russ & Daughters today)

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

Mox just gave the most girl dad answer, so I need to know what he thinks of “One Battle After Another,”

Tony just named Satnam Singh when asked who is the tallest person on the roster. So that’s how I learned he’s still employed by the company.
