I think Ebert himself would have loved this review (though in contrast he would have wistfully looked back on tits in movies)

"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

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

I watched the fantastic four movie. It's not a bad movie. It's not a good movie. I really liked some things. I really disliked some things. The cousin guy from the beef show is really good in it even though you hardly see him. Natasha Lyonne is in it.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

My 20 y.o. was overheard on the phone asking his friend if they have a knife, then told us he was going out and wouldn't be back until late. When asked what was up with the knife talk, he said they were going to look for sticks and then go whittling. 🫨

Cubs fandom is at an all-time low. I, a born & bred White Sox fan, am out here yelling "let's go, cubbies, [clap clap clap clap clap]" and they are not responding at all. Fuck the Cubs

A very kind neighbor texted me today about a "sick" crow laying motionless in the yard with its wings outstretched. Because today is the first really hot day of the summer, I knew right away the bird was fine and what was going on. Here's @corvidresearch.bsky.social on what they're doing and why.

Why crows sunbathe

With its bill agape, I watch as the crow fans out awkwardly across the cedar shingles. Pressing the camera to my face I snap a couple photos, pleased to finally capture on film a moment I so often …

There are people in a gen x sub on reddit acting like the Cure were not huge in the 80s, that only "weirdos" listened to them. They had top 40 hits. They were playing arenas in the US as far back as 1987.

I was looking up lyrics to Steely Dan's "Only A Fool Would Say That." I see all sorts of things saying it's a response to John Lennon's "Imagine." Fine. I can see that, but people are citing a line about a "Stetson white hat" as definitive proof, like Lennon was known for that. Is that gaslighting?

The Pitt is not my kind of show, broadly speaking. I do not like medical dramas. I do not like workplace soap operas. I started watching because I heard it described as "competence porn." It's that, but it's also "empathy porn." I love seeing people care about other people.
