Just watched COLONY which I may be in a minority in preferring to the same director's Train To Busan, I agree with @mangiotto.bsky.social's review here, it's a pure genre movie with a smart and subtle heart; filmfreakcentral.net/2026/08/fant...

An insane video game-related Lost Media find has quietly popped up on YouTube. Two episodes of "Say Powww!", a 1979 game show about video games that only aired in some markets. People in studio and over the phone played Intellivision (!!) games. Predates Starcade!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=29tJ...

sharing this one more time. a lot of folks have shared their own thoughts on rating things in the comments, which is nice to see. also, consider listening to their takedown of george saunders' novel vigil if nothing else.

in their brand new video, tevis thompson talks about and rates every game they played, book they read, and show they watched this winter, 35 in all. the list includes baby steps (10/10), journal with witch (10/10), and (my beloved) perfect tides: station to station (9/10). youtu.be/IhUI-wDVOJc?...

Critical wagon-circling around extremely well-reviewed, profitable, high-end popcorn movies — Nolan, the Tom Cruise extended universe, etc — is one of the more complex pandemic/post-pandemic cultural phenomena to me. It's fine to think The Odyssey sucks!

Lincoln Michel@thelincoln.bsky.social · 13h ago

This kind of take always baffles me. Nolan's film is the biggest movie around, racking in money, and getting glowing reviews (including from academics). If the biggest most popular works can't get critical debate, then what can? Frankly Nolan is probably delighted. It helps the film to have debate

"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

One Night Only review: Pull out from this sex-negative rom-com

If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die.

sometimes there is absolutely nothing more fun than understanding works of art through people's varied professional perspectives

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

This is kindergarten logic. “We like it when it our athletes take a stand for a good cause, yet we don’t like it when they’re bigots or crackpots?” Uh, yes?

Aaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D
