Across historical fiction, gender-swapped anime, and the confines of Grand Theft Auto, Hamlet allowed the year's films to process their grief.

The play’s the thing… when it comes to 2025 movies. For @avclub.com I wrote about how Hamnet, Grand Theft Hamlet, and Scarlet all riff on Hamlet in very unique ways to tell similar stories about grief and art. www.avclub.com/art-therapy-...

A few innings ago — so, like, the 15th inning — they showed a guy holding a big ol' can of Modelo. They stop selling beer in the 7th inning, right? So you gotta wonder how warm that brew was

Instead of watching "video podcasts," people should subscribe to the Criterion Channel.

As I said goodbye to my toddler to head to the Vista for a 10am showing of One Battle After Another, her nanny stopped me to show me a cool meme she found dragging me for fucking filth.

Bonsai trees are such a beautiful art form. And, also, I see them and think “man some little Warhammer figurines would look sick here”

The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer looks like a TV show, which is a loaded compliment about the state of TV and a massive indictment of the state of movies

Fantastic winners start-to-finish; that was also the worst awards show I've watched in my life

The winners are good but aside from that this is maybe the worst awards show I have ever seen

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

Ranked the 20 best Stephen King adaptations for TIME, and of course I used the opportunity to once again speak the truth that the ending of The Mist is trash. (Unfortunate because the rest of the movie is really good!)

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
