“Cultural impact” is such a nonsense metric. Oh yes my favorite part of movies: landfills worth of tchotchkes, endless tie-in media for 12 year-olds, and boring conversations about plot by people who treat fan wikis like a personality.
Absolute Cinema, if you ask me.

What they mean is dork buzz.
Avatar has had a staggering cultural impact, in that every time one of the movies is released there is a flood of articles/comments/assertions about how little cultural impact it has had, any franchise that causes that consistent level of engagement in the chattering class is making a hell of a mark

TFW your friend group is about to get 10x more rad.
Here’s the problem with making Spider the emotional core of Avatar 3:

I hate this character. No shade to the actor but this guy sucks. He’s annoying as shit. If I showed up to a party and he was there, I’d leave the party. If he was in my friend group, I’d have to make some really hard decisions.

This holiday edition of #moviemonday 📽️ I thought I’d talk about the new release this last weekend that blew me away. Cameron just keeps doing it.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

Hey, how about we don't do the "Herp derp, who can remember anything about the highest-grossing film of all time" rodeo every time there's a new AVATAR?

On the first #moviemonday of December, I thought I’d finally catch up on one of the year’s big horrors, which I enjoyed. WEAPONS!

This is legit sending me I cannot handle it
Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

Took the week off so I forgot to post a #moviemonday. But it’s Thanksgiving week, which means I’m gonna post about the movie I watch every year around this time.

A ★★★★★ review of Rocky (1976)
Around Thanksgiving every year I watch Rocky. It’s about the most perfect alchemical mixture of sentimentality and filmmaking and raw talent that exists, and the older I get the harder it hits. So goo...

It’s time (on-time) for another #moviemonday where I talk about movies I’ve seen and if you read it and decide to chime in, even better. I rewatched the first Zatoichi film and plan to make my way through the rest of them soon.

Day late for #moviemonday but it’s my thing and nobody pays attention to me on this app anyway, so who cares.
I got that incredible Wes Anderson criterion set and I’ve been breaking it in. THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS!

In under the wire for #moviemonday, and I figured I’d wrap up Spooky Season with M. Night Shyamalan’s THE VISIT.
This is the movie that announced his return from Director’s Jail and the beginning of his excellent self-financed era.
