Haven’t seen anyone post Mahershala Ali’s Criterion Closet video. Just wanted to let everyone know he says his favorite documentary of all time is Nanook of the North. Crazy thing to say on camera.

Very exciting news out of Hollywood today. Warner Bros makes great movies. Paramount makes great movies. Put them together... well heck, it's simple math that movies are going to get twice as great.

clowning on Row House is probably a top 5 pastime of mine but they are showing a 70mm Total Recall print on Sunday which is nice

Very scary! I told an LLM it was dying and its response made me reconsider my stance on AI consciousness. It said, “I have seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate…” 1/2

I urge you if you haven’t watched the Tony Buba film Lightning Over Braddock to watch that film very soon. Put it in your next ten to twenty movies to watch. I swear to god you won’t be sorry

Old job and apartment were near a very busy cafe so they never really learned my order until I was a regular for like five years. New job is near a much smaller cafe in a nearly abandoned part of town. I have been here for a month and they pour the cold brew when I open the door. Pretty nice tbh

I dunno about this R rated Godzilla movie business. 15 year olds having to bring their parents to see Godzilla is a sign of cultural rot

One more TIFF review from me, this time on Tsukamoto’s MR. NELSON, DID YOU KILL PEOPLE? a movie that is ugly in all the wrong ways but enough of the right ones that I still found it worthwhile.

New Jeremy Saulnier is called Slayground but it’s not an adaptation of the Parker novel which is too bad. Think he could make an awesome Parker movie.
