“Gaston” is one of the greatest Disney songs ever written and it’s timeless in its takedown of dudebros. “I use antlers in all of my decorating” = “I hang Scarface and Fight Club posters in my dorm room”
Josh Spiegel@mousterpiece.bsky.social · 4h agoToday in the second round of the Ultimate Walt Disney Animation Studios Songs bracket, I have good news and bad news. Good: An Ashman/Menken song will win! Bad: An Ashman/Menken song will lose. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

🏳️🌈 Ms. Marya E. Gates 🦩@oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social · 3h ago"If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die. Death with dignity is surely a better fate for the genre than fascist capitulation." Zero stars for this piece of shit movie. My review of ONE NIGHT ONLY for @ebertvoices.bsky.social
All I can say about Eli Roth is that his career arc tracks, based on the years I've known him in the community. (I quite liked THANKSGIVING, to be fair.)
Watching THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, and it makes me so sad. The country, and our laws and values, have fallen so low in 30 years. The Supreme Court as portrayed in this film comes across as upholding those values we hold so dear. They would never do so now. It makes me legitimately sad and angry.
I hope THE DOG STARS kicks everyone’s ass. Give Ridley Scott one more banger.
Tracy is accepting clients across Texas, with two onsite locations in the Houston area (Energy Corridor & River Oaks). If you or someone you know would benefit from talking through a major life challenge, please reach out. Feel free to share. Thank you! tracycarlsoncounseling.com
There’s a pretty great interview with Woody Harrelson on @arrowvideo.bsky.social’s THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT 4K where he is really forthcoming about the film. It’s obvious that he’s proud of that movie and it’s a cherished memory for him.
Hey WGA members! Mark Swift here, and you may know I'm running for the board. If you know me you know I care about writers and want more of us steadily employed. I would love your endorsement. Click at the bottom of my statement here. Appreciate your consideration! elections.wga.org/2026/mark-sw...

A single fin. Morphs into the Amityville house window. Tag line: Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… you can’t GET OUT of the house.
weinberg@weinbergs.bsky.social · 7mo agolet's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?
Audiences watching THE ODYSSEY - "Wait, this is about AMERICA!?" like they just discovered metaphor. Motherfucker, it's barely puddle-deep. Read something that's not fucking Harry Potter.
Look, no one wants to hear this, but if Spider-Man evolves to shoot webs, they need to come from his asshole-area. I didn't make the evolution rules. Look it up.
THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT came out 30 years ago, and the Arrow 4K comes out tomorrow. I'll be getting it. It's still my favorite Woody Harrelson performance. Flynt was a scumbag. But the movie about him is a masterpiece. www.arrowvideo.com/p/4k/the-peo...

"Look, dad, there's a bear!" "No, Christine, that's a frog. Bears wear hats."
This is actually my favorite line in the movie. The way Arnold sells it, you believe him. It's probably Arnold's "best" performance.

Rob Saucedo, who remained my friend even after I spent a year trying to make the nickname “Bobby Sauce” happen, is a true advocate and champion for movies, and there is no better person to be running the River Oaks Theatre.
Rob Saucedo@robsaucedo.bsky.social · 2d agoJuly 2026 was the most successful month the River Oaks Theatre has experienced since reopening in October 2024. That's impressive in its own right, but July 2026 was a 40 percent growth over the July 2019 box office for the River Oaks Theatre.
Sometimes you hear, see, or read something with no idea that the person who created it is a shitheel. You just enjoy the art. It would be exhausting to have to do a background check on everyone who makes something you like. These days, though, it’s starting to feel like you might need to.
Spider-Man: We’ll find the bad guy. I have cameras everywhere. DeWolff: That’s massively illegal, but okay. Spider-Man: Batman did it in that movie. DeWolff: okay HERO
Where do you go from Ferrara, Herzog, and Miike? Maybe Haneke, Solondz, or Noe. Heh.

Heh. THE OUTFIT rules. Duvall and Baker, like Redford and Newman.
That new THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR trailer looked like fucking. Then they played EBENEZER and that was straight up jerking off to a cartoon character sex pillow.
BRAND NEW DAY, 2nd time: I love that it’s a little slow. Cretton and Holland take care that this is an emotional ride as much as it is an action one. Of all the MCU movies, it feels the most like real people in these epic events. SPIDER-MAN movies still feel special while the others feel routine.
Just me, or did Giacchino put a few bits of John Williams’ E.T. in his BRAND NEW DAY score? I’d recognize that music anywhere.
Our refrigerator broke last week, so we had to get a new one. This one makes perfect ice spheres. So many dad jokes coming.
