Bluesky discourse appreciator. Drop me some of your best discourse. (Mostly movies and music from me.) AI memes are tacky AF

Worth mentioning the great scene in Dracula A.D. 1972, when Peter Cushing as Van Helsing fills an ashtray with butts as he struggles to figure out the connection between Alucard and Dracula.

A picture of desktop, with a hand holding a diagram created from two words - “DRACULA” along the top, “ALUCARD” along the bottom. A line connects each letter in DRACULA to its corresponding letter in ALUCARD.

I could never get past 5K but admire those who do, and finishing at all is pretty remarkable to me!

I had a coworker who ran it, we asked him about it that Monday morning. “It went well. I achieved a personal record.”

Oh?

“I ate an entire Giordano’s stuff crust pizza by myself in one sitting afterward.”

My possibly spoiler-ish study of some themes in Goodboy

A review of Good Boy (2025)

Spoiler-ish? I won’t divulge any key details of the story, but I’d like to get into a couple of themes. First is the dog, Indy, and how well the horror is from his point of view. There are a couple of...

…that’s it, that’s the review. I had a weird incoherent dislike of the bruschetta, the restaurant sucks.

There’s a whole class of Letterboxd reviewers who sound just like that, except with movies.

I can’t remember when I became thoroughly disgusted with Yelp and swore not to look. Dislike a restaurant all you want, but there’s a whole class of person who has the most random ass gripe, ones peculiar to themselves and their miserable moment, and they want an audience for it….

I like this guy’s review of Good Boy.

Sometimes you just gotta take the gloves off, ya know?

A ★★★★ review of Good Boy (2025)

I am asking film nerds to shut the fuck up about overanalyzing this. A guy made a love letter to his dog, and it is competently done and hits emotional strings, which is what we want out of all of our...

In addition to the uniquely non-human perspective that moves this story along, health as the thing that anchors the horror is a big theme, and is handled in a very direct way that reminds me of Todd Haynes’ Safe. Impressive to see a movie balance both themes as well as it does.

Ignore all the nerds who think Letterboxd is Yelp but for movies,this is good.

Movie poster for Good Boy. (A soiled hand is seen reaching for a retriever dog - mood befits a horror movie.)

Totally. It felt like horror from the pov of a dog - and of course it was - but it really got into some serious, thoughtful space about wellness. And pet ownership! You can lie and deflect with your siblings, but your dog ain’t having that.
