I saw SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE today.

Can anyone explain to me what Jayne Houdyshell was doing in that film for one single shot, no dialogue??

Setting aside the behind the scenes stupidity, the #Scream7 trailer looks... to me, bad. No commentary, feels artificial, looks super repetitive and the trailer itself gives away a lot of the kills and the entire opening sequence. I can only hope to be surprised.

Already seeing “____ movie didn’t get nominated at the Gothams! I told you it’s Oscar prospects were overblown! It’s over!” It’s the Gotham Awards, sweetie.

Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny singing MGMT’s “The Youth” as “The Yute” came to me in a dream

the irony of not remembering you took a dementia test

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

Donald Trump appeared to describe a dementia screening he underwent at Walter Reed Medical Center as a 'very hard' IQ test while speaking with reporters inside Air Force One

absolutely no shade to wicked for good, all the shade towards hyperbolic pre-release influencer press

The #WickedForGood embargo lifts today and let me just break it now.

It’s a masterpiece. Erivo and Grande are Oscar worthy. Jon M Chu improves upon the second act of the show to deliver a magical sequel, better than the first! I haven’t seen it, but this is what my timeline will be saying.

Netflix Review Round-Up: “A House of Dynamite”, “Ballad of a Small Player”, and Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein”

Film fans are currently in the midst of a busy week of Netflix Original awards contenders, with a truckload more on the way. With so many pumping out at a time that demand coverage, it may be easie…

I don’t know if anyone has said this because I don’t think Jacob Elordi looks anything like Tom Cruise but Jacob Elordi looks distractingly like Tom Cruise in the Frankenstein makeup.

A ★★★½ review of Frankenstein (2025)

Overlong, heavily flawed but visually sumptuous take on a classic monster by a cinematic auteur that’s a little horny and very bloody, with one unfortunately miscast main romantic character but a stun...

Just watched A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE.

*super minuscule baby spoiler*

They open the Idris Elba segment with a shot of lions and all I could think about was the incredible 2022 action thriller Beast starring Idris Elba bare knuckle brawling off against a group of vicious lions.

The chances of me even getting to it tonight are low when I have a new season of The Diplomat to burn through.

Jakob Kolness @jakobkolness.bsky.social · 9d

it’s ok tho. staying appreciative and blessed. they work hard over there, im just a dog waiting to be fed

Jakob Kolness @jakobkolness.bsky.social · 9d

after a month of getting screener invites from Netflix, and patiently waiting, the very first literal screener arrived in my inbox for a film that comes out… tomorrow.

Not enough Halloween specific for sure. There are plenty of good spooky vibe songs that don’t get played enough though, “Lil’ Red Riding Hood” is a fav.

Review: “It Was Just An Accident” Walks Brilliant Tight Rope Between Bizarre Amusement and Horrifying Reality

★★★★★ The opening moments of Jafar Panahi’s newest thriller are brilliantly deceptive. We are introduced to Rashid (Ebrahim Azizi) and his family driving home at night. Stray dogs running acr…

This girl is on fire this season. Feels like a classic SNL familiar face on par with the Mayas, Amys, Kristens and Tinas and she hasn’t even graduated yet out of the Featured Players.

Jakob Kolness @jakobkolness.bsky.social · Nov 17

I have absolutely no idea in what future context, but Ashley Padilla would do a perfect Laura Linney on SNL.

Rewatching the Coen’s TRUE GRIT. Just fantastic, crowd-pleasing cinema.

Got me kind of browsing the films of 2010.

An astoundingly bad year. Maybe the worst of the century? A few all-timers, around 12 good movies, almost everything else a dump. Look no further than that year’s Globe nominees. ☠️
