A ★★★★★ review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

This film gets better each time I watch it. From the brilliant deconstruction of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl to Jim Carey playing the kind of role he plays far too rarely, to sweet, winsome Kirsten Dun...

Had a really scary white supremacist/Nazi dream last night. You know it’s bad when the cis-het white males are having nightmares…

A ★★★½ review of Silent Hill (2006)

Why the hell is this movie at 34% on Rotten Tomatoes? And does it have anything to do with the fact that the RT summary is wildly inaccurate? Like, where the hell did 'Unable to accept the fact that h...

“Platner needs to go” because he has a TOTENKOPF TATTOO on his chest.

No further explanation is necessary. Why are people acting like this is complicated???

Ned Resnikoff @resnikoff.bsky.social · 5d

One reason I think Platner needs to go is that at some point we're going to have to do an aggressive denazification of the entire political system and the party leading that effort cannot be caught handing out indulgences.

In the wake of Tucker interviewing Nick Fuentes for his show, now is a good time to read @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social's latest on the GOP's struggle to keep antisemites in the tent without going full nazi

Got to re-watch one of my all-time favorite movies in a theater thanks to #HyperRealFilmClub!

A ★★★★★ review of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)

I love this movie so much. I just left the theater and I don’t know that I have anything coherent to say at the moment, but it’s one of those films that fills me with a deep satisfaction. Edited to Ad...

In all seriousness, DO NOT try this.

I just think it’s ironic that Texas law theoretically (purely theoretically) allows you to resist excessive force.

Nothing like getting to the end of a really lovely book and discovery that there's a second book you didn't even know about *AND* it's available for immediate checkout

Just watched “Good Boy” and they had a little making-of segment after the credits and this is *exactly* how the whole movie works. The dog was not trained at all, just the family dog. But the director understood the Kuleshov effect and made it seem like the dog was being incredibly expressive

Need more protein while keeping the grocery bill low? I geeked out and ranked a bunch of foods by what they cost for 30g of Protein.

Only, less of a “crime-fighter,” and more of a badass SJW—fighting the Czar in St. Petersburg, saving Mother Jones from the Pinkertons, that kind of thing.

I want to write a screenplay where Alice Roosevelt is secretly a crime-fighting superhero. And she takes Emily Spinach everywhere.

Since the launch of the 2nd #NoKings mobilization, the Trump regime has escalated their authoritarian agenda.

We won’t back down.

On Oct. 18, we’re telling this wannabe dictator: America belongs to us.

I love stumbling across a delightful little rom-com

A ★★★★ review of French Lover (2025)

1) This is a virtually flawless Rom-Com, which not only does everything a Rom-Com is supposed to do, but manages to throw in not one but two twists on the requisite "running scene." 2) Sara Giraudeau'...

AI is not the problem. Like TV and social media before it, the problem is how we use it, which is determined by who controls it.

AI is not the problem. The billionaires and corporations are.

But the book is like, "Nobody knew what lay south of Chicago..." and I'm like, dude--people knew what was there 1,000 years ago. The Romans administered a massive empire with a huge government across literally thousands of miles without even figuring out paper. People are good at figuring shit out.

Ferinstance, while the stored gasoline would eventually run out (or more likely, go bad first) it seems pretty likely that it would occur to someone, somewhere, that bio diesel was a thing, and then you'd have cars and trucks and generators, and once you've got electricity, you're halfway back.

You could always hand-wave that there were "Terrible Wars that Scoured the Land" but we're not talking about nuclear annihilation or people forced to live on very limited resources bc there are zombies everywhere. It's the same exact world, just a whole lot fewer people.
