Joel Edgerton improvised some of ‘Train Dreams’ best scenes: “If you followed a script, you’d never get these moments”
Edgerton praised director Clint Bentley for keeping things “free and nimble” on set.

I'm going to be thinking about Train Dreams for a long time. Definitely one of the best of the year. It's out on Netflix today. I spoke to star Joel Edgerton (my pick for Best Actor this year, fwiw!) about creating those magical moments with Robert's family: decider.com/2025/11/21/j...

Heated Rivalry and Pluribus are probably THE two shows of the moment, and they're both deeply queer, and yet I keep hearing America doesn't want these stories?? So, I guess we need to turn to Canadians and Vince Gilligan to get our fix!

The question of whether Heated Rivalry can win Emmys is actually far more complicated than I ever expected — but don't give up hope yet! Huge thanks to @memles.bsky.social for inspiring this piece and giving expert Canadian TV guidance

this was easily the stand-out scene of the film lol, baffled by this take
The Mastermind devotes what feels like a full 15 minutes of screen time to a guy carrying stuff up a ladder. Truly mind numbing.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Go out for a walk once in a while, people!
New Yorkers are getting more packages than ever - 80% of households get at least one delivery per week, and 20% get FOUR or more. That's a lot of packages, and a lot of trucks. The DOT's new report gives a good picture of where the city is at, but wasn't the "redesign" advocates hoped for.
