late night activities

cool so the Christopher’s is my last Soderbergh ever

something really funny about not knowing how to connect with a customer outside of the theater so sometimes we leave letterboxd reviews for each other

getting curmudgeony at my ripe old age of 26 but younger theatergoers are losing the art of critical thinking and being like, normal to employees??

wait are birds not real in the zootopia zooniverse

might've just stumbled across the goofiest and potentially high-profile opportunity in a while and it's all thanks to a movie podcast I've never heard of <3

Bangers only #lastfourwatched

every new seminegative review about the bride gets me more excited

someone behind me just said that they’re not watching scream 7 in theaters but they’ll watch it on streaming “bc of the boycott” and that four of the six scream movies are bad…I should be allowed to kick people out of the theater I think

Harry is my friend so I have to stress this isn’t favoritism — PLEASE read this essay!

We are not covering BLADE RUNNER for @trylovepodca.st (blame @aarbypls.bsky.social idk what to tell you), so I wrote a Perisphere piece on it instead. Big thanks to Perisphere editors @finnematic.bsky.social and Olga for putting up with my tardiness! www.perisphere.org/2026/03/01/h...

anyway #lastfourwatched on #letterboxd

normal finn activities include deciding to, with little prompting or warning, invite an undetermined amount of people to my apartment for "monday night hot dogs"

Scream isn’t even the best Wes Craven movie

vampire themed coffee shop called only lovers left a latte is that anything

#lastfourwatched and lost boys surely coming soon…the fake trio of angry youth in the streets with red and white posters must be completed

The Warriors is absolutely one of the movies of all time

never in my life did i think my mom would have a bad bunny moment while my dad agrees to see the charlie xcx movie

never manifesting again i thought i learned my lesson with jesus but no all gods have a sick sense of humor

my favorite "i've never been here before" phenomena is watching people knock on the hallway door thinking its to a single stall bathroom

the itch to get more ink is strong and overwhelming and $250-650 out of my pocket
