Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Tim Curry was so many things, but I want to shout out his work as Nigel Thornberry today. His wink, his warmth, his wit. All communicated through just his voice. A father for the ages. I’m so glad we got him. And I’m so glad that we had Tim. www.cbr.com/tim-curry-fa...cbr.comTim Curry Said 1 of His "Favorite" Roles Was in This 27-Year-Old Show (That's 5 Seasons Long)Tim Curry may be famous for his movies, but one of the roles he loves most is actually from a beloved '90s cartoon. 213129
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 26/08/2026One of my favorite Roger Ebert reviews is for 9 to 5, specifically for his words on Dolly Parton. The beginning is below. Take a read. And then go watch 9 to 5. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/nine... 021
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 25/08/2026My very left field theory: John Sr killed Hal. We know he’s an excellent shot. The ring goes to John Jr first in 1986, but as he’s an infant, then makes its way to Hal. John Sr does everything to prepare John Jr. And perhaps gets tired of waiting. The ring goes to Guy because of this. 120

Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 28/06/2026June 27, 2019: I flew to Minnesota to meet John Bierly for a wedding. June 27, 2026: I watched The Sheep Detectives. To the art that helps us remember those we love. Isn't it funny how we get little nudges from the beyond ✨ 050
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Just discovered HBO is doing another GoT marathon. Maisie Williams folks. 010
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Just saw that Patrick Godfrey passed away. He was such a gift in Ever After as Leonardo da Vinci. What an inspired take on the Fairy Godmother. Another mentor figure a millennial girl like me so appreciated seeing onscreen. Thank you for making us wings ✨ 000
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 05/06/2026"To forgive is an act of compassion, Buffy. It's not done because people deserve it. It's done because they need it." I think about this Giles line often. So beautifully conveyed by Anthony Head. A lot of us needed a mentor. And we got one through him. Thank you. Always ✨ 010

Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 02/04/2026I burst out crying at the NASA Artemis launch. Humans can do such amazing things when they come together. “To boldly go.” 🚀 050
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 19/03/2026I just had to tape a commercial audition with like 5 parts and one part was upload a video of special skills. And I’m thinking, what do I do for this lol. So here’s me reading Portia’s ‘quality of mercy’ monologue from The Merchant of Venice. It’s one I have thought of often recently. 020
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Another Oscar night comes to a close. With all that, here my Best Picture of 2025. 022
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I’m so happy for Michael B Jordan and the cast of Sinners. And so glad Delroy Lindo spoke on behalf of the cast. Execs want to know if the theatrical experience is still there?! Sinners shows IT DAMN WELL IS. 010
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I always love hearing Harrison Ford speak because he’s always thoughtful. He’s always real. For too long it was just dismissed as apathy or sarcasm. But you can see it here now. Everyone is hanging on each word he says. Because he knows. And we have been so lucky to have him. 030
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I'm watching Return of the Jedi right now, and people shit on it for having another Death Star, but it's pretty apt for every empire doing the exact same thing over and over again. 110
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Wearing a garish USA ballcap while making a statement on an attack you co-ordered that killed over 100 school children. While suppressing a pedophile ring you're a part of. While your citizens are just trying to make ends meet. That is not leadership. That is evil at the highest level. 020
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 17/02/2026I think about this scene from To Kill A Mockingbird all the time, about Robert Duvall specifically. How the camera lingers on his face and just lets his eyes do the work. Imagine that being your film debut. One of the best to ever do it.

Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Kevin and Kate's reunion always wrecks me to watch. He goes down the stairs on Christmas. It's beautiful. But he doesn't have her. And then she's there. She's there. You did the same for us, Catherine. Thank you. Always ✨ 000
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 30/01/2026I think about this scene all the time. It feels so unfair to have them both gone from here now. 000
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 30/01/2026I don’t remember exactly what I said to Catherine O’Hara when I finally introduced myself on Pain Hustlers. Other than saying I’d been so nervous to do so. Her response, grabbing my hands: “Well now you have!” I will have those 4 words and wonderful smile etched in me forever. 060

Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Watching Ep 1 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms again. It makes me smile. Egg listens so intensely in that last scene. Just in awe. And then his little smile at the end after "So the luck is ours alone?" The whole thing makes me think of John. 020
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 22/01/2026The Naboo Queen/handmaiden Oscar pipeline continues Natalie Portman Keira Knightley Sofia Coppola Keisha Castle-Hughes And now Rose Byrne. George knows how to pick ‘em. 020

Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 18/01/2026They would use a still from The Patriot. So on brand. Fyi, Time magazine ranked it in its “Top 10 Historically Misleading Films." Harrison Ford also turned it down bc he felt it was too violent & boiled down the American Revolution to one man’s revenge. He was absolutely right. 110

Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 16/01/20265 years of WandaVision. Coming at the one year anniversary of my own journey in partner loss, I remain ever grateful and validated to also see Wanda’s unfold onscreen. To that love persevering. The journey continues. Always ❤️ 050

Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 25/12/2025I just finished watching It’s A Wonderful Life for the first time. “To my big brother George: the richest man in town.” To those who struggle: I see you. To those who aid: I thank you. And to those who watch over us from the great beyond: how lucky we are to have you ✨ 050
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Thinking of Welcome to Derry in conjunction with HBO’s Watchmen. Both are a brilliant dive into the repeating cycles of trauma & violence. How entangled & rooted we are to them, especially as Americans. Both are also hopeful. Art shows us "what could be." And I continue to think, what could be. 000
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 15/12/2025This is such a devastating loss. Rob, we were so lucky to have you. 020
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 14/12/2025When I visited Columbine in 2023, I broke down sobbing. I remain in awe of the bravery and courage of those who are survivors of terror and gun violence. 030
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 11/12/2025I’m so glad @tcmtv.bsky.social is playing Charlotte’s Web. I have not seen it in probably 25-30 years. Like Wilbur, the fear of death had a hold on me for a long time. And like Wilbur, I was so very blessed to meet a “Charlotte” later in my life. Watching this now feels healing. 240
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 10/12/2025People seeing The Bone Temple already, and I’m not one of them 😭💔 Ps) 28 Years Later should be getting nominated across the board right now *sighs* 000
Samantha @samdianek.bsky.social · 30/11/20252 and 3 could change depending on mood, but 1 is Nothing in the Dark. A perfect example of how horror can be healing. 020
