Agree, and thank you for reminding me how hot he is in this movie.

Glad to know I wasn’t alone

Did anybody else as a kid think the lyrics were “I’m blue, if I was green I would die” or was that just me? It made sense at the time.

There were so many guys with muscular arms walking around the city today. I thank them for their service.

BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER occasionally finds engaging moments within Farrell’s manic yet mournful performance. But you have to endure a sluggish pace, grating over-direction and another oppressive Bertelmann score. Swinton is captivating in the few quiet moments that are allowed.

Looking back, here’s how that “We did it, Joe” 2020 moment feels now.

Just saw him in the trailer for that gay hockey series Heated Rivalry, so adding that to the watchlist.

Heard there’s a new movie coming out with François Arnaud, and I must certainly see it.

ROOFMAN finds Derek Cianfrance with a lighter touch but still interested in tragic character studies, a tone that is engaging but also lacking a spark to become wholly riveting. It’s Tatum’s endearing performance that is a joy to watch, the only character given a real complexity.

IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU is an incredible showcase of Rose Byrne’s towering performance, a force that captures monumental rage, chaos and sadness. It’s a great anchor to an engaging commentary on the weight of parenthood. Occasionally tedious but thoroughly captivating.

Some days all I want to do is just take an edible and listen to the Challengers score.

Been kinda interested in watching House of Guinness because of a newfound admiration of Anthony Boyle, and seeing a gif of this scene only has intensified my curiosity to watch.

Searching for these images is about all I need to invest in this film

That Amityville Horror remake is absolute trash, but every once in a while I am tempted to rewatch it for reasons

I know! He looks great

Josh Parham @jrparham.bsky.social · 6d

At least you’re looking at Albrecht the whole time

Josh Parham @jrparham.bsky.social · 6d

It was okay. Parts of it are interesting but not sure it added up to much.

Went to see Peacock, Austria’s Oscar submission, starring Albrecht Schuch

I know most of my Jonathan Bailey content is just thirst posts, but I am genuinely invested in his success. He’s on the precipice of becoming a major star, which is incredible to be as an out gay man. I think that’s so vital, especially now, and means so much. I hope he does it.
