As you may know, I end all of my countdown videos with a handful of bloopers, and sometimes it's hard to find enough mistakes to HAHAHAHAHA*wheeze*HAHAHA yeahhh no. All bloopers, all the time. The latest episode of the '90s Alternative Countdown is at www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJDV...

The first new video of 2026 (!) asks, "What happens when the movie we're watching turns its head and watches us back?" An exploration of eye contact, and what connects us to cinema and each other. Please enjoy, share, comment, and all that other good engagement stuff! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UIp...

Chat, we are, indeed, so back: we've taken the original Criterion Collection supercut from two years ago, updated it, changed the music, fixed the editing, and (because we enjoy pain and suffering) replaced EVERY SINGLE CLIP from top to bottom. We have our reasons. youtu.be/SJ6u0F1ruzI?...

I was vaguely aware that there was a Rutles tribute album. I was not aware that it included Daniel Johnston, Shonen Knife, King Missile, Bongwater, Galaxy 500, Syd Straw, and Penn Jillette's band Bongos Bass & Bob. And that's the MAINSTREAM portion. Weird as balls. open.spotify.com/album/6WxbDx...

On Letterboxd I had all of two full reviews, and since one got moved to the RO login I figured I'd move the other one. I don't know why this and The Apple are the only ones to get the full treatment. (Wait, I remember: the attention span of a caffeinated hummingbird.) letterboxd.com/reckonedopin...

So when I took a couple months off from editing, it didn't mean I also took time off from scheming and plotting. Bad news is that I don't actually know how to relax. Good news is that you get two videos in the space of a week. New video drops tomorrow. It was hella fun to do. Watch this space.

Since I had the pleasure—nay, the privilege— of seeing The Apple on the big screen last month, I decided to move my review from my personal page to the RO Letterboxd account. I think it's happier over there. letterboxd.com/reckonedopin...

Things have been quiet in Reckoned Opinionburg—that last video burned me out more than expected. But I'm here to reassure you that things are happening in the background: a new shorts series, the next '90s alternative countdown, a few supercuts, and a back-pocket surprise or two. Watch this space.

IT'S HERE! The once-a-decade Sight & Sound Critics Poll is perhaps THE definitive listing of the greatest movies ever made, and we are pleased to present it all: the top 250 (actually 264), all in the space of 16 minutes. Share! Enjoy! Argue! All of that! youtu.be/GIHuwmkU0kE

The Entire 2022 Sight & Sound Movie Poll (Long Version) in 16 Minutes
Every ten years since 1952, Sight & Sound Magazine and the British Film Institute have polled hundreds of critics from around the world, asking them only one question: what are the greatest films ever made? Some consider it the definitive greatest-of-all-time list, some a conversation starter, some a load of elitist nonsense—sometimes all three. The 2022 edition proved to be everything you'd want from such a list: diverse, controversial, a little peculiar, but never boring. Reckoned Opinions is pleased to present the results of that poll, with the top 250 (actually 264) titles in ranked order. Enjoy, and please comment with your thoughts! – – – – – – – – – – – – – Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reckonedopinions Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reckoned.opinions BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/reckonedopinions.bsky.social Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/reckonedopinion This video features materials protected by the Fair Use guidelines of Section 107 of the Copyright Act.

Calling on the collective brain trust: In the aftermath of prepping for the last video, I am now in possession of a large number of beautiful/cool/interesting album covers on card stock, about 3 1/2 inches square. Any ideas on what I should do with them?

There are YouTubers who specialize in visual montages of film scenes, under the banner of "The Cinematography of" or "Beautiful Moments from". As a creator who routinely has to hunt down HD-quality movie clips, I say to them the following: You are my favorite people in the whole wide everything.
