This is like a fucking SNL skit where studios keep making hockey shows instead of gay shows

Kinda seems like right wing pundits were alerted to the gotcha ahead of time, then didn't watch the actual hearing and so missed it being proven completely wrong, so they're sticking to an old script and Schmitt just has to sit there with a blank stare and hope they move on to something else quickly

Are you telling me that Alejandro González Iñárritu is not the Preston Sturges of our day

Can't believe the Times ran a best TV list two weeks before everyone gets to see Josh Hartnett do a Newfoundland accent in his sea monster show

This time of year is too busy to devote extra time to recaps, sadly. But if you want recaps of celebrity (US) Traitors, premiereparty.com will have such things in the new year (for premium subscribers only)

I think I know what you mean, but it was a huge, beloved (by some) Blockbuster With a Heart. That said, the Odyssey (and maybe Dune) might satisfy the tentpole itch. It’s hard to say if Gosling has a better chance than the movie itself, or if it’s the other way around.

Another Oscar season is now fully upon us. And thus I’ve done my first round of real predictions in today’s newsletter. I think I got every single thing right and will not hear otherwise (no, please offer your thoughts!)

Started using “gr8” again ironically but it’s now no longer ironic

Feel kind of dumb for excitedly saying “ooh, it’s one of the new Acela trains!” at Penn Station a couple hours ago as we currently sit in New Haven and wait for the train to “reset.” Yes, like a broken router, they are turning it off and on again to see if that might fix things.

Thank you Critical Darlings @alisonwillmore.bsky.social @rilaws.bsky.social for covering Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which has been on my mind since seeing it last week. Was a great delight to wake up to your smart, funny, thoughtful analysis this morning. pod.link/1885681327/e...

Just watched Pressure on the plane home. Brendan Fraser’s Eisenhower is staggeringly accurate. Eisenhower was an Encino man right?

Currently listening to a very, very drunk young woman from North Carolina hit on a hotel bartender who is about her age and while I support her instinct (he’s very cute) it’s not going well. He said “Is near Florida?” and she seemed a little offended.

Also Hüller in the Berlin film Rose, an excellent performance for which she won the Silver Bear. That movie has real topicality, though it’s weird and in black and white, so who knows. Cruz would go supporting for Invite. Blunt is great in Disclosure, but that movie is too polarizing, I think.

The Academy seems to have a lingering, Weinstein-influenced, wildly unfair bias against James Gray, and Johansson would be supporting. Madison would likely be supporting too(?), and those reshoots give me pause. Austen skipping all festivals and releasing in mid-Oct does not bode well, but maybe!
