As of now, not a single Digger ticket has been sold for today's local multiplex screenings. That's about to change. #filmsky

This one's been on my list for awhile. Really impressed. Incredible child actors and haunting imagery. Probably needs a lot of trigger warnings but recommended. On Hulu now. #filmsky

Primetime is good and ultimately reminded me most of Nightcrawler, which i think is even better. #filmsky

Finally caught up with Tuner and really dug this charming little character-driven heist flick with a great premise. #filmsky

Seems quite likely The Debut will be my favorite movie of the year. Paul Giamatti, Julianne Moore, the power of theater: what more do I need? #filmsky

A bonkers 160 minute whip-ass Korean monster movie was just what I needed on yet another 100 degree afternoon. Hope more people hear the good word and check it out. #filmsky

Had to pause Jeopardy Masters tonight and explain to family members how we're good pals with Bill James' daughter. (Category: "12 letter words"). Miss you, @rmccarthyjames.bsky.social !

Three hours in one sitting is probably pushing the limits of how much I can tolerate Elizabeth Holmes OR Nathan Fielder, to be honest. But still very curious about this new doc! #filmsky

First day of meteorological fall. Can't you feel a little chill in the air?

RIP, Wendell Berry. Just texted my friends who named their son after him.

Straight up blackface Halloween costume at Target? Seems like everyone needs a mandatory screening of Spike Lee's Bamboozled. #filmsky

Unwieldy, yes, but this would be a better title for Schoenbrun's "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma" (more in line with the enigmatic titles of their first two films). #filmsky

Exited the screening of "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma" behind two dudes having a very technical discussion of split diopter shots. Cinema's not dead just yet! (Kinda surprised they don't list it on the theater sign as "Camp Miasma"). #filmsky

Five minutes in and the power goes out. Estimated to be restored within... four hours. lol.

Three and a half hours in a barely air-conditioned church basement in Little Rock today for a scrappy local theater production of Angels in America. They mostly pulled it off against all odds. What a play.

Dinosaurs? Suburbia? David Robert Mitchell directing? I've been hyped for The End of Oak Street for awhile. Pleased to see some solid reviews rolling in. (Pretending I didn't notice the stupid AI marketing stunt this last week). #filmsky

When you think of "perfect popcorn movies" it's gotta be Lawrence of Arabia, right? (Anyway it's certainly long enough to eat A LOT of popcorn). #filmsky

Judging by the number of salads being ordered in Arkansas, folks clearly believe that a a solid cover of ranch dressing will kill the parasite.

The Odyssey pretty much rules, let's not kid ourselves. Manages to succeed as both a mainstream crowdpleaser and a heady meditation on the toils of war and man's debts to country, family, and god(s). The throbbing war drum score made our seat vibrate for three hours like 4D. #filmsky

Caught up with "Is God Is": very interesting and provocative. Wish I could have seen this in theaters with a raucous crowd. #filmsky

As expected, The Invite was very much my kind of film: stick four good actors in a single setting with a sharp script and just let them rip. Some big laughs in this one. #filmsky

The new Little House on the Prairie adaptation is quick to recognize what the original series was sorely lacking: poorly rendered CGI wolves.

There's just no way that Nolan's Odyssey film will be as funny as the Coens' Odyssey film. #filmsky

Willi Carlisle at the Arkansas Folklife Fest urging the crowd to boo the giant billionaire puppet out of the festival grounds. Folk music is alive and well!

Let's enjoy Dylan Earl kicking off the first ever Arkansas Folklife festival with an old-fashioned Woody Guthrie-style dose of progressive populism: "...working class solidarity is the only way we're gonna stamp that fascist out."

Just when I was thinking Arkansas had yet to hear about the World Cup, I came across an afternoon block party in downtown Little Rock for today's USA match.

Disclosure Day: Uncle Steven still believes the truth can unite us and empathy can save us and, you know what, God bless him for it. The script is clunky and the CGI animals are wonky but we were mostly entertained, even if we rarely felt the full-on Spielberg magic. #filmsky

Finally caught up with "Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie." Very silly (complimentary) and really quite a moving statement on friendship. "The truth is, if you've got a best friend, you won't even notice getting older." #filmsky

"A History of Violence" holds up well. One of Cronenberg's most accessible flicks (lean and mean) but also one of his best. #filmsky

When we were young we were scared of hockey-masked axe murderers but today’s youth are mostly terrified by long office corridors with buzzing fluorescent lights. #backrooms #filmsky

Backrooms: these kids today and their liminal spaces! Personally found it a little tedious but glad stuff like this is finding its way to the multiplex. Can it find a mass audience beyond its built in fanbase? #filmsky

A few weeks late to the game but kind of loving the Zach Galafianakis gardening show on Netflix. Equal parts silly and relaxing.

Really liked Hokum. Yes, it's trauma horror to some extent (also guilt!). But Adam Scott is terrific and McCarthy keeps the momentum going until things get honestly scary (especially this f*cking guy!). Recommended. #filmsky
