I just really enjoy the Rian Johnson experience. I think he’s one of the most thoughtful filmmakers of his generation. All of the Blanc movies are good to great and I’ll go the mat for Last Jedi. Brick rules. The guy has the juice!

Josh O’Connor is SO good in Wake Up Dead Man. Love that each Blanc movie feels different and manages to make you invest in a new main character even as Blanc is the connective tissue.

Brolin’s character is Mark Driscoll coded for those with eyes to see
I think @rianjohnson.bsky.social made WAKE UP DEAD MAN just for people like me (angry exvangelicals who still find value in Jesus’ teaching even though the Church is really bad at living those teachings out, bonus points if you like U2). Paired it with CONCLAVE in my latest column @bwdr.bsky.social
Double Features: Wake Up Dead Man and Conclave
Wake Up Dead Man and Conclave depict faith at work in a world that’s dark and growing darker. Both films hold faith up to the light and ask: In times like these, what are the faithful to do?

I loved WAKE UP DEAD MAN as a fan of the Benoit Blanc movies. But I *really loved* it as an exvangelical.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

This is really close to my list so I must support it, and Pritzker
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

So the moral of WICKED: FOR GOOD is literally “we can’t tell the people of Oz the truth because they’re irredeemably vapid dupes, oh well”?? There’s like six scenes about this???

Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?
TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

i'm developing a medieval open-world adventure game in which your character is immortal but has to sneeze constantly, so mostly you just wander the towns and countryside searching for kerchiefs and the like. sometimes you have to acquire oaken buckets or enchanted books to sneeze into
