Reposted by Jay Tylergal pacino @larrydavidforreal.bsky.social · 9ha good double feature would be bugonia and digger. 011
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 8hThe problem with no one going to see Digger is it greatly reduces the number of people I can talk to about Digger. 010
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 9hDigger isn't my favorite movie of the year. It is still a little shaggy for that, and this does happen to be the year Nolan's Odyssey came out. But it may become the film I tell the most people they need to see. 010
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I thought the Odyssey was going to be the actual nadir of Conservative garment rendering over popular media, but now they have Meryl Streep as Aslan to contend with and I love it. 031
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 21/06/2026The @blankcheck.bsky.social Finding Nemo episode coming out on Father's Day is incredible timing. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Are the Star Wars Prequels the most "9/11 was an inside job" coded piece of art there is? 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I know we are all expecting some giant event to cause Trump to skip Don Jr.'s wedding. But the best and honestly funniest possible outcome is nothing happens. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 15/05/2026For those who didn't know you needed it, here is "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" performed in Cherokee: youtu.be/OMv7Pz5-tb0?...youtu.beAkisodane Yigatloyiga (I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry)YouTube video by Agalisiga - Topic 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Movie pitch: Time travelers go back to 1970 Broadway to try to make Paris is Out! a huge smash hit, propelling its young producer Donald J. Trump to further invest in his passion for musical theater and not take over his father's real estate business. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 07/05/2026However bad you may feel like things are going, take comfort you never made cookies so bad they made national news. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 02/05/2026The degree to which Right Wingers are mourning the death of Spirit Airlines as if it was an American institution is embarrassing. It was a company we all agree sucked, and so it failed. Trying to blame Biden or Warren to deflect blame from Trump makes you defend a shitty company no one liked. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 01/05/2026We heading towards an economic realignment worse than the dot com and sub-prime mortgage crisis combined, and whoever is the next President will be crucified for it. Our technocratic overloads have built a house of cards that is set to collapse, but will take none of the blame. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 28/04/2026I am not one of those WHCD truthers, but it does seem telling that they seem BIG MAD that assassination attempt number three seemed to have zero effect on how anyone is going about their business. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 26/04/2026The fact the next verse after the shooting attempt yesterday is "And THAT is why we need the Ballroom" is sending me. Like how did this become a security thing? 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Potentially controversial take: I am increasingly uncertain how many books I need to own. Reference books, RPG books, maybe some comics. But I also simply don't re-read books often enough to justify needing a physical copy when libraries exist. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Been thinking increasingly about how our entire frame of reality, or entire frame of how things foundationally WORK is based on the idea of scarcity. Some people can't eat because we don't have enough food. Some people have to die of horrific diseases because there aren't enough doctors. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 22/04/2026The NEW New Math just dropped, and guess what: it's dumb! 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Trump wants you to believe he was under the impression this was representing him as a doctor. He either is stupid, thinks you are stupid, or both. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 13/04/2026So here's the play: -Christian Nationalists start to see enough daylight to separate themselves from Trump. After all, he can't be elected again. -They start to shift their focus on the next guy to prop up, probably JD. -The framing becomes JD cleans up the mess "demon possessed" Trump left behind. 000

Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Happy Liar's Day everyone. Approach every announcement with optimal skepticism, which shouldn't be hard because that's kind of how we all live now anyway. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 26/03/2026I am not a one issue voter becaue I recognize the broad complexity of social and pragmatic issues that face a political state the size of ours, but if I was, it would be "We have to fix dental insurance." 010
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Every once in a while I remember Glenn Beck loved Bo Burnham's Inside and am so curious what he got out of it. 010
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 24/03/2026So Sora, OpenAI's video creation software, is shutting down, a mere two weeks after announcing a rights deal with Disney that never materialized. Suspect that means the AI generated content platform on Disney+ is also dead. Is the world healing? 110
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 24/03/2026I have absolute trust in Akiva Schaffer at this point, but a live action Cinderella spin-off feels like a dramatically unexciting project for him to take up. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 24/03/2026I can't speak for anyone else, but personally I think a government run on the ethos of "What can we do to make sure the markets stays happy?" is probably bad? 010
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Top down view of what the @cinapse.bsky.social crew loved at #SXSW2026. I stamp all the ones that I saw on this list, and trust the opinions of @juliansingleton.bsky.social, @edtravis.bsky.social and David Delgado for the ones I didn't. And you can find my reviews for both Chili Finger and Buddy. 134
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 23/03/2026For the record, since I am burned out from SXSW and probably won't write a review for it: I really liked Project Hail Mary as a triumphant work of both optimism and fearlessness. 110
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 23/03/2026I hate that the word "franchise" is having to be used to describe the Project Hail Mary success. That is a corporate word that crept into our film discourse lexicon, and in this particular case is not even that helpful. 100
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 18/03/2026THE LAST CRITIC is a delightful portrait of Robert Christgau, legendary rock critic, whose approach to both criticism and the written word are admirable. The documentary is a little shaggy, but Christgau is so charming it is hard to be mad at. #SXSW2026 001
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Casper Kelly's Buddy tackles the question, can a TV show love you? Should it? 011
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 17/03/2026BEAST RACE: A blistering dystopian footrace film out of Brazil. Blends the style of half a dozen other things, but blends them distinctly new ways. If you ever wondered if Mad Max and Running Man had a baby and then borrowed the sun soaked visuals of early Fast movies, check out ASAP. #SXSW2026 011
Reposted by Jay TylerBOOlian Singleton 🎃👻 @juliansingleton.bsky.social · 17/03/2026BUDDY has some dementedly beautiful production design, fully fleshing out a bizarre long-lost kids show like an elaborate fucking Saw trap. So thrilled that Casper Kelly’s signature madness from Too Many Cooks and Adult Swim Yule Log is given such free rein in a theatrical feature format #SXSW 075
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 17/03/2026BUDDY: For fans of Casper Kelly's Too Many Cooks or Yule Log, Buddy has the same wild, creative, anarchic energy but creates a much more lucid, but still mysterious, set of circumstances. Demented and wonderful. #SXSW2026 072
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 17/03/2026DEAD EYES: First person headache, heavily indebted to horror video games and escape rooms. Hits every expected beat and takes FOREVER to do so. Disappointing. #SXSW2026 001
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 16/03/2026General observation: lots of movies at #SXSW2026 focused on interpersonal conflicts amongst romantic partners, typically married couples, that reach hyperbolic, violent ends. Seems to be a common theme of working on domestic differences can feel apocalyptic and extraordinarily vulnerable. 012
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 16/03/2026AND HER BODY WAS NEVER FOUND: A two-person (with some cheating) production starring a real husband and wife pair, about a very similar husband and wife pair arguing in the woods. And it gets weirder from there. One of the biggest narrative swerves of the festival, a true test of form. #SXSW2026 001
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 16/03/2026OVER YOUR DEAD BODY: A big bag of twists movie, where each turn keeps catching you off guard. Expertly weaves genres, from thriller to comedy. #SXSW2026 022
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Sean Penn ran such a low key #Oscars campaign he didn't even show up to win. 000
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 15/03/2026UGLY CRY: A dark portrait of how personal insecurities can metastasize into self loathing. Actor/director/writer Emily Robinson clearly taps into something very personal in own life in the entertainment industry. Can be a bit inside baseball in tone, but earnest in its intention. #SXSW2026 011
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 15/03/2026MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE: A wild mindbending, timebending action-comedy that sneakily packs a punch of redemption narrative. A fun romp throughout. Definitely a real one. #SXSW2026 021
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 14/03/2026I won't be shutting up about this one for a while. #SXSW2026 cinapse.co/2026/03/sxsw...cinapse.coSXSW 2026: Go See CHILLI FINGER As Soon As You Can - CinapseYou can thank me later. Chilli Finger is a new film and is the feature debut of the directing duo of Edd Benda and Stephen Helstad. It debuted this year at SXSW. It stars Judy Greer as a trademark Mid... 011
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 14/03/2026See CHILLI FINGER as soon as you can and know absolutely nothing about it. Fucking rules. #SXSW2026 001
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 14/03/2026FAMILY MOVIE: A pitch black but oddly sweet comedy about passion, family, and when those things clash and come into focus. Fun twists and glorious playfulness. The entire Bacon family injects it with infectious energy and joy. A delight. #SXSW2026 001
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 14/03/2026PRETTY LETHAL: What if Die Hard but with a squad of five ballerinas against the Hungarian mob? Recklessly silly, bordering on stupid often. Feels like a relic of a previous era, in both charming and groan inducing ways. #SXSW2026 042
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 14/03/2026READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME: Radio Silence kills it again. Quite literally. A bloody, hysterical fun house of gore, Satanic Panic and rules rules rules. A blast worthy of the original. #SXSW2026 001
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 13/03/2026PHOENIX JONES: THE RISE AND FALL OF A SUPERHERO: The classic conundrum of a documentary with a fascinating subject, and kind of lackluster editing and pacing. Preferred the podcast about Jones, but a good entry point for folks who don't know about him. #SXSW2026 001
Jay Tyler @jaythecakethief.bsky.social · 13/03/2026First film of #SXSW2026: Wishful Thinking. A funny, touching and sexy look at when love can feel so strong it hurts, and how honesty can be the hardest blow. As moving as it is sweetly silly. Maya Hawke and Lewis Pullman make a dynamic on screen pair. 034
