Watched THE LIFE OF CHUCK. Screenwriters looking for great examples of how to adapt a short story into a feature script should watch it. Incredibly moving film that’s EVEN BETTER than the short story. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social should get a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination.

Watch Bond 26 implode so wretchedly that Amazon begs Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson to return.

My thoughts on One Battle After Another, how Paul Thomas Anderson grapples with the revolutionary impotence of his generation, the social and racial dynamics of change-makers, and bucking the trend of avoiding confrontation with the source of America’s inequalities.

Settle in.

With ‘One Battle After Another,’ Paul Thomas Anderson Captures the Shortcomings of His Generation

Though Leonardo DiCaprio's Bob, Anderson explores limits and frustrations of a revolutionary in an America where the disenfranchisement of Black and Latino populations has grown beyond his generation'...

Amazon’s misfire with the guns doesn’t bode well for the next movie.

Every time this movie is mentioned, all I think about is that Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror episode where Homer gets sucked into 3-D and the dork professor asks, “Has anyone seen the movie Tron?”, and everyone says “No” except Chief Wiggum, “Yes. Er, I mean, no.”

There’s a TV ad playing here in PA put out by MAGA ordering us to vote no on three state Supreme Court justices up for re-election because they support abortion.

As ridiculous as that is, what’s more is the video: people putting PAPER BALLOTS into a slotted box. MAGA is so fucking out of it.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

It’s strange that movies look better on TCM than they do on BR in relation to grain.

A bummer for certain, but there’s always next year. Hope your back gets better. That’s some of the worst pain ever.

Such a sweet story about a sweet doggy.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 3d

From a 12-pack of toilet paper to fine china, Duke, an 11-year-old golden retriever, has gained Instagram fame for the bizarre items he diligently gathers and hoards.

“He will have a room full of toys and find a teapot,” Cathy Hoyt, his owner, said.

This dog’s hilarious thieving habit stumps even the experts

None of which are the show on blu-ray, which they sold before, but only the first season.
