Have you now also started sucking the big orange teet?

No means no, Louis. Fight for your rights.

The hype was real. ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER was pure, auteur-driven cinema at its finest. No one gets more from their actors than PTA, and he and DiCaprio are a match made in heaven. Penn hasn't been this loose in years. Need to see again before new rankings. They gonna change. #filmsky

Cannot recommend this @clarkcollis.bsky.social joint enough. Jazzed to finally be drafting with him on @screendrafts.bsky.social with my best buddy Kyle Anderson very soon. Kyle and I are excited to be diving into a threesome for the first time!

The new SPINAL TAP goes to about an 8.5, which is way better than I expected given Reiner's recent output and the state of film comedy in 2025. There are some BIG laughs, lots of subtle ones, and some throwbacks that never feel old. #filmsky

When Rolling Stone ranked Stevie Ray Vaughn as 20 on their list of the 250 greatest guitarists of all-time, they immediately lost all credibility. The only argument should be whether or not he is 1, 2, or 3. #musicsky
