I was pretty skeptical of Mike Flanagan's take on #Carrie going in but I'm really enjoying it so far, franchise scaffolding aside.

Apple TV’s social accounts are including additional text descriptions in posts for their forthcoming biopic Being Heumann, but not for any social posts for any of their other shows or movies. That’s weird, right?

Sometimes you think so much about what you want to talk about in the recording ahead of the recording you use up all the really cool thoughts ahead of time and remember you’re running on minimal sleep but nonetheless you keep going.

Emily Wilson's piece on Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY for the LRB went viral and was received very positively by many — but not by virtually every film critic I know. For @animusmagazine.bsky.social I wrote about why: animus-magazine.ghost.io/a-tale-as-ol...

A Tale as Old as Time

Emily Wilson’s piece on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey evinces an archaic perspective on cinema’s value as art

I definitely love a few of these games, they hit for me, but I’m also 36 and have a family, so I’m fully playing games on normal difficulty or lower.

It’s easy to forget how good this movie is with the vast marketing apparatus behind it and the overall flood of comic book movies, but damn, this one really holds up. Also it’s wild this came out close to a decade ago.

Instagram influencers are repeatedly going viral by making fake cease-and-desist letters from Flock that suggest they are at risk by talking about surveillance. These videos have millions of views. Meanwhile, useful projects like DeFlock got actual cease-and-desists www.404media.co/the-rise-of-...

See, I loved it for how big and weird that finale became. Much like the last two seasons it feels like there’s a part two coming to really make the whole thing work, but that works for me.

🚨 New Episode Alert! 🎥 The Matrix (1999): Podcast This 🎙️ According to Ben, the Matrix is the most influential movie of the last thirty years. It's cool, it's gorgeous, and it might go overboard on the philosophy but, like, we can think of worse things. Listen where you get your podcasts 🎧️

Googling "shoes in X size" doesn't work at this point, either, at least not for specialty sizes. Everyone's trying to game the system for maximum visibility, plus the system doesn't actually work as intended.

Sekiro is the best From game by a lot. This is not dismissing the rest of the catalogue: however good you think the others are, Sekiro is just that much better. It really is a singular masterpiece.

A "podcast" that is taped and released as video and features famous people is just a talk show that doesn't have to abide by union rules.

Watched the Godfather again recently and it’s still a great movie, but post-Megadoc, you can definitely see the roots of some of Coppola’s later creative indulgences

Ben, Drinker of Coffee @thebengeemon.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

I don’t know if it’s a failing of the filmmakers, but I do think audiences are drawing from what’s already present in the work - as much as Goodfellas condemns what it depicts, it spends a long time showing the fun and excitement, as you mentioned.

Getting conspiratorial about "what's in the food" is a big, blinking warning light for impending chud-dom. What, you thought that Cheetos were good for you? You eat them because they're one of the most perfected lab-perfected foods that mankind has created, like the humble Dorito.
