latest trivago ad is just soundless black and white film of the european men with too-big veneers carrying out the black dahlia murder. unclear how these guys were the same age in 1947, or how this is supposed to sell hotel rooms
christmas is for tourists. i am visited every night by ghosts who tell me what an asshole i am
commercial with kevin hart as the elf on the shelf is an eldritch horror. a collection of images unfit to be seen by living eyes. a diseased media hallucination from an unsound mind. i am infuriated that i'm only just seeing it on december 24
if all these psycho right-wing government officials can do press conferences while obviously fucked up on coke, i should be allowed to have my school bus driving job back
saw a really interesting investigation on 60 minutes last night, during their "the best of andy rooney" clip show. i had no idea ziploc bags have become that difficult to open and close
[ebenezer scrooge, after a ghost shows him a vision of my pathetic life on christmas eve]: hm. well.....it's sad, that's for sure. i mean, i see what you're going for here but....he's just not that sympathetic? i still feel pretty good about the layoffs
los angeles film critics association announces its choice for the best movie of 2025, and for the 36th year in a row, it's abel ferrara's king of new york. the announcement clarifies, "every movie since then has been kind of a letdown"
we need to get everyone in america their own syndicated comic strip immediately
Hoff Matthews@hoffmatthews.bsky.social · 8mo agoBeen meaning to post that Bill Watterson and Gary Larson are kind of unique figures in that the grind of having to come up with a new idea to share publicly every day in the ‘90s seems to have inoculated them against ever being tempted to establish a social media presence
just want to do mushrooms and see new avatar movies in peace but every time one of these things comes out cameron does a press tour where he's like, "yeah i'm a billionaire now. i'm going to lead the industry in AI filmmaking. also kathryn bigelow didn't write point break"
and if you gaze too long into an abyss, the abyss turns you into aaron rupar
did u guys hear they are making a biopic of the new radicals. andrew garfield is going to play the annoying guy in the bucket hat. andy serkis is playing the bucket hat
doordash holiday ads concept is "if you're a total moron and forgot to thaw the turkey and buy your dumb kids presents, you can easily doordash a fully unfrozen turkey and a bicycle on christmas morning." sure ok!
one cool thing about having a pipe burst under your house is it gives you the opportunity to check out the latest in insurance company telephone hold music. haha just kidding, i thought it'd feel better to write that instead of "i give up, this is my watery tomb now"
most filmmakers shouldn’t worry about being replaced with AI, but i am terrified bc i’ve been in post for 6 years on a movie about a guy who is so fat he collapses a bridge
[misunderstanding everyone's cryptic posts about "when it happens"]: yes that's right.......i will also cheer when jay mohr's sitcom 'action' finally arrives on a streaming platform
well, that’s the last straw for me. deactivating my truth social account now
one of the great pleasures of the every-couple-years deadwood rewatch is getting to hear powers boothe tell kristen bell she has the eyes of a weasel and then make fun of her for having a fractured skull. 👍👍
if someone is going to produce an awful remake of silent night deadly night every 10 years, they should at least set one of them in space. people used to know how to make lousy slasher movies
my brother is an ironworker so i asked him his thoughts on the time magazine cover
Both David Lynch and David Cronenberg were in the running to direct Return of the Jedi, but Stanley Kubrick actually had the job for about a day until George Lucas fired him.
it's nice that pandora's ads proudly specify that their diamonds are lab-grown, but i don't love that the slogan is "if she was with you for money, she would have left already"
just saw someone on here pretend to be unfamiliar with the phrase “hawk tuah.” having fun imagining a person who has too much dignity to know that phrase, but who also posts regularly on the “hourly updates on rfk jr’s ass-eating conquests” app
oh yeah i am for sure going to watch a three minute video where the sci-fi novelist who used to pretend to be asian does cultural analysis on a cartoon about waiting in line for coffee. i would not rather climb into a dishwasher and have it run on a heavy wash setting, than watch that
the “bank robbers” in the opening credits of batman the animated series are carrying no money when batman assaults them unprovoked. there’s no proof they were even in that bank
there’s an old la-z-boy recliner on the sidewalk with a sign that says “FREE - FULL OF SPIDERS” - appears to be in good condition otherwise
I’ve seen enough. It is time to arrest Jeffrey Epstein.
this looks like when you're 10 and reading a michael crichton book and you realize you're gonna have to get through like 60 straight pages of this before he gets back to the fucking dinosaurs
Tim Dickinson@timdickinson.bsky.social · 10mo ago"skin as part of brain?" This is that great intellect people talk about?
don’t confuse the years-long protection of a network of wealthy and govt-connected pedophiles with something big and bad, you guys. may cooler heads prevail here
Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social · 10mo agoWhen the Times does something big and bad, criticism is warranted. But don’t confuse that with outrage farming for engagement.
there's a new letterboxd guy whose whole deal is utterly despising movies, even more than the last letterboxd guy who hates movies. they should make a separate letterboxd for people who are not approaching movies like matt yglesias posts they can quote tweet
