The most racist, bigoted person you've seen on your timeline who regularly calls for the government to slash funding for charitable causes: "Genuine tears for Dolly Parton passing. She stood for so much."

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

IT ENDS turns its highway-to-nowhere premise into one of the year's best horror films. The horror becomes the realization that adulthood might just be another loop with no exit. Sustained dread, killer sound design, & a tough metaphor for your 20s. My review: themarmaladematinee.com/it-ends-revi...

I really hope that all of the people in my feeds who rail against gen-AI flyer art (and rightfully so) and are also horror fans, don’t fall prey to Ice Cream Man now that the reviews are pointing to its abundance of AI effects. Don’t be a contradiction, speak with your wallets here.

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

The fall of Troy wasn't the end of the story, but the beginning of mankind reckoning with its own pride. Odysseus' journey asks what happens when human ambition defies forces greater than itself and why even the greatest victories can leave us wandering.

In IMAX 70mm, every frame engulfs your entire field of vision, pulling you so close to every crashing wave and clash of sword it borders on sensory overload. At times, the film does feel like a lot narrative wise, but at the end of the day, movies like this are why we go to the movies.

Many stories are described as an odyssey, but there’s only one true odyssey. Nolan once again has created something staggering. With THE ODYSSEY, he reminds us of what we lose without this kind of epic storytelling.

This week I reviewed Apple TV+’s LUCKY. It’s a sleek, emotionally resonant crime thriller that rises above familiar cat-and-mouse beats. Strong performances, sharp craftsmanship, and a compelling father-daughter dynamic make this a satisfying thriller. Read here: nextbestpicture.com/lucky-review...

Finally saw OBSESSION and it really lived up to the hype. Inde Navarrette delivers one of the best performances of the year. It takes a lot to spook me with horror these days but she is absolutely *terrifying*.

#PrideMonth watch: LEVITICUS turns queer shame into literal horror, using a shape-shifting monster as a metaphor for guilt & repression. Tense, emotional, & tender, it reclaims the "monster" narrative & argues that inflicting fear is the real evil. My review: www.peliplat.com/en/article/1...

For the gamers: I played SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT & what a stunning Southern Gothic story. The stop-motion animation style is breathtaking, bringing a world of mythical lore & spooky bayous to life. Fantastic atmosphere & bluesy, soulful soundtrack for a magical, dark coming-of-age adventure. Good stuff.

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU feels like one long TV episode, with a little adventure that isn’t a very strong entry in the movie franchise. But it’s hard not to find amusement in it, especially when it gives Grogu some big moments. I love that little green baby & I’d watch him in anything! #FilmSky

Finally saw THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 & I knew it touched on the importance of journalism & the Big Bad consolidation but it’s a point that is seeped throughout the entire film & isn’t just touched on briefly which I appreciate. The soul is being sucked out of everything & the film makes you feel that
