Twitter has gotten so much better since following @artistmonet

@LostInFilm That’s me with my vax card.

Pro tip: if you’re binging a reality TV show (the ⭕️) and it’s fucking with your bedtime... turn the ep off around the 20 minute mark (early in act 2) instead of watching until the end!! There’s always a lull around that point as opposed to the end which is designed to hook you.

@GlennLoury Thanks Bari for the semblance of even-handedness with that actually heartbreaking and important Lara Bazelon piece before the always dependable and always exhausting “best of the anti-woke” lineup.

Each year the Oscars should award a film from the previous five years that’s had the most impact on the zeitgeist. Staying power is such an important and undervalued aspect of a film.

@Lilfilm Have been waiting so long for this!

If you’d told me even 5 years ago that car companies and nations would be committing to 100% EV in the near future, I wouldn’t have believed it. In spite of all the gloom, there’s a rapid sea change taking place in renewable energy that’s worth CELEBRATING.

I don’t think I have any friends I can talk to about this so I’m turning to you... have you seen The Circle?!?

[Ben Lear @Benjaminlear]

@juliadeixler Stfu 😂😂

[Ben Lear @Benjaminlear]

Wonder if the Circle has an implicit rule where you can’t catfish outside of your race... because I could imagine some real problematic shit going down with this show!!

Don’t wish to wade into the controversy but just watched Two Distant Strangers and found it VERY powerful. Absolutely did the job of communicating an emotional experience to someone (me) who could never understand it otherwise.

@briankoppelman Drop D pics.

@Landladyband To be clear I don’t like either of these aspects of myself

Clubhouse in January felt like high school. I was a shy follower surrounded by poseurs trying to join the popular crowd. Clubhouse today also feels like high school. Only now I’m a drop-out smoking a cig as the entire school bus flies off a cliff.

@Landladyband Lol I felt uncomfortable and shy on the app for the few days I used it and as a result didn’t like it and am now kinda enjoying it losing popularity/relevance.

Wow #WestSideStory trailer is incredible. The overhead shot with the gangs entering the warehouse, their long shadows colliding... 🤯

@stevegoldbloom @beesoftheseas Looks flat

I’m the era of elevated and actually well-crafted blockbusters (Marvel etc), I was surprised at how unabashedly B-MOVIE Mortal Kombat was. Really loyal to the 90s films.
