The funniest thing about this is that Glen Powell is the guy Callum Turner's girlfriend is going to screw instead of him in ONE NIGHT ONLY.

Callum Turner is the Glen Powell of Josh O'Connors (derogatory).

Just for you, Jeremy: 🎶I saw ONE NIGHT ONLY! ONE NIGHT ONLY! And y'all, I didn't care! ONE NIGHT ONLY can kiss my derriere! ONE NIGHT ONLY! ONE NIGHT ONLY It's bad, big baby, so bad! ONE NIGHT ONLY It's gonna make you mad! 🎶

@odienator.bsky.social If you don't write your review of this movie as a parody of "One Night Only" from Dreamgirls then I'm going to write a nasty letter to your editor. Hee hee hee!

In ONE NIGHT ONLY, the film's retro gay BFF makes a comment that gays aren't out on the free-for-all sex night because they're flouting the law. This line was added to combat any criticisms that the film has no gay people partaking in the Sex Purge. It's a piss-poor excuse in an embarrassing film.

I liked this wretched piece of heteronormative horseshit a star and a half more than Marya, but I agree with everything she said in this brutal takedown. I bow to its rage and greatness.

"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

The only ONE NIGHT ONLY you should deal with is the one sung by Effie in DREAMGIRLS. This movie is puritanical, heteronormative horse pucky that's so outdated it should be sent back to 1984 where it belongs. Monica Barbaro deserved better. And Callum Turner? No. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/05/a...

I enjoyed COOKIE QUEENS almost as much as I love Girl Scout Cookies. What a joyful documentary that has more bite than you think. Made me order $50 worth of Thin Mints and Samoas. Non, je ne regritte rien! www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/05/a...

Scouting for a great documentary? Try ‘Cookie Queens’ - The Boston Globe

It's everything you always wanted to know about Thin Mints but were afraid to ask.

I would go there in a heartbeat.

New idea just dropped: a cat library. Like a cat cafe, but with books. Read your library book with a cat in your lap.

Please tell me that, if people violate the Sex Purge rules in that movie, tits will fly off bodies and balls will explode like cherry bombs. Do people burst into flames while fucking because they violated the Sex Purge? Does the YOU BET YOUR LIFE duck fall out of the ceiling with a 9mm and go BLAM?

"Film at Lincoln Center announces the world premiere of Takashi Yamazaki’s Godzilla Minus Zero as the Spotlight Gala selection for the 64th New York Film Festival.

That gritty Tony the Tiger movie is gonna be something else.

I would love for some director to critique my review of their movie. I'd ask why the fuck they were wasting time on this absurd endeavor? Don't you have better things to do? I HAD no choice but to review because it's my job. Did you take my advice? No, right? So why the hell would I listen to you?

MO' BETTER BLUES turns 36 today. In 2007, a certain former trumpet player wrote a piece that's now on @artisticslant.bsky.social about two close-ups from Ernest Dickerson's masterpiece as a cinematographer. It was a lament for my own horn. The close-ups I cite: www.slantmagazine.com/film/close-u...

Two movies with, um, particular takes on Native Americans. In honor of that, I shall paraphrase the racist ass crows from Dumbo: "Well, I be done seen about ev'rythannng when I see votes for You Can Fly!" Both songs are good, but I gotta go with Vanessa Williams' coloring book here.

Today in the second round of the Ultimate Walt Disney Animation Studios Songs bracket, a soaring oldie goes up against a plaintive ballad about the power of nature. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

People nowadays don't want to think for themselves. They want to be told what to think by some shiny influencer asshole or a superfan of a director/show/comic. Society is full of followers. I get readers telling me I'm "a contrarian," which is wrong. I just don't believe shit stinks 'til I smell it.

So am I tripping or does it seem like society in general, not even just younger folks, are just not as intellectually curious anymore? And no, im not even talking about just online because im seeing it among people that I know personally.

Watching a court show case between two petty ass church ladies, one of whom beat the other's ass with a Bible. I am glad I never have to go to church again, though I am also reminded that I witnessed a zealot getting his ass whipped with his own Bible on my old street once. Bible beatdowns are cool!

On today's COLUMBO, Martin Landau has the Mission: Impossible of playing killer twins. Wong Foo's appreciator, aka Catwoman, is one of the victims, as is the decrepit old uncle of the Landaus she intended to marry. Dirty Sally co-stars as a mean old lady whose ass Columbo should have thrown in jail.

After Burt kills you by prescribing the wrong medicine and giving the wrong health advice, the program laughs like Ernie. And why does the software company's name sound like SICARIO?

“The AI assistant, which Kinney Drugs named Burt, after its founder, was built by a third-party AI pharmaceutical company, Synerio. In the pharmacy’s terms, Kinney Drugs states that ‘Burt may not be accurate, complete or up-to-date and may be misleading or contain errors and omissions.’”

I loved this movie when I saw it at IFFBoston. Looking forward to reviewing it this week at the Globe.

This movie is batshit.

Josh made up that second song. He was held at gunpoint by Adele Dazeem in order to get more FROZEN into these brackets. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I voted for the stereotypical but non-racist LADY IN THE TRAMP song, "We are Italian if you ca-annn!"

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

Every 10 years, I revisit 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY to see if my negative opinion has changed. I figure I may someday change my mind. Well, guess what, HAL? Gurl, your movie is still boring as shit.
