I dislike talking politics bcuz they're not my best subject, & they make me uncomfortable and depressed. That said, a summation of my beliefs:

Trans men are men.
Trans women are women.
Love is love.
Black lives matter.
Women deserve bodily autonomy.
Hugs not drugs.

This aged like the milk Homer Simpson left at the radiator for an April Fools prank in that one Simpsons clipshow episode.

Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner told reporters he expects QB Rex Grossman to make big strides in the system this season.

“He is starting to come naturally. He knows where guys are. He knows the protection schemes. He knows how we're trying to attack the defense.”

@joerussotweets @CLPFILM I don't know that anyone is really thinking, "I really badly wanted to go see Supergirl, I couldn't wait until opening day and was absolutely going to go to my local theater, but ya know what, people were being gross about it online, so I decided not to go see it."

[Chris DeRose (ScratchyDerose.bsky.social) @ScratchyDerose]

You all BETTER see this film in theaters. Especially after the amount of mountains and loopholes this film had to climb just to get released. This film needs to make K-POP Demon Hunters level money.

GO. WATCH. THIS. MOVIE.

One thing I'll say for now about The Odyssey is that I like how it represents God's intervention as kind of psychomatic or semi-hallucinatory experience; not knowing if something is real or imagined, which I find brave and even a bit provocative

[Kevin Allen @ConfidentCynic]

Holy shit

Backrooms (2026) - Ending with Parallel Scenes

[Kevin Allen @ConfidentCynic]

After doing a deep dive into all the Backrooms canon stuff and seeing the movie three times, I *need* their capability for time travel as well as The Red City explored in the sequel.

This Alan Cumming interview from last year is a real key that unlocks the mystery of the insane way this entire movie seems to be blocked

[Kevin Allen @ConfidentCynic]

@artwithinpod Everyone who willed its release into existence better show up opening weekend!

[John Squires 🎃 @FreddyInSpace]

I implore everyone to stop fanning the flames of the online smear campaigns that target pretty much every major movie release these days. It's almost always a very small pocket of bad faith clowns who really only have a voice because we can't stop handing them the megaphone.

[Kevin Allen @ConfidentCynic]

I love how far soap operas will go to attract viewers in the summer now. First Stephen A. Smith, now John Oliver.😂😂😂

[LateNighter @latenightercom]

John Oliver’s third—and final—day on General Hospital is off to a rip-roaring start. Consider him fully initiated.

#TheInvite is Olivia Wilde's best directorial effort to date, driven by her creative storytelling and stellar performances from her small but all-star cast. Check out my full thoughts on it in today's article for Nashville Movie Dispatch! https://t.co/IfNtjo9o4R

The 2026 Chattanooga Film Festival bestowed a plethora of gems in the rough of independent cinema. Check out what I saw at the Scenic City’s premier festival in today’s article for Nashville Movie Dispatch!

@johanlenox @thechosenberg But people IRL see takes like it and repost them out of blind agreement with their political beliefs.

[Javo, Lack of surprises @javier078]

“But if you buy a BluRay and put it on a shelf for five years and then decide to watch it, there is a decent chance it won’t work.”

Sorry but this is the biggest BULLSHIT I have read in a very looooooong time!

this response could shut down 90% of discourse on this app

This man was the translator for the film
festival we both attended and he is exceptionally kind and respectful, he needs to be close by to translate discretely — she’s fine I promise.

[Ocam @GhostlyOcam]

The fun thing about Kojima's reviews is that the parameter is a simple as whether or not a movie leaves him with enough words to write home about, whether it's good or bad doesn't matter, because I think the worst thing a movie can do is just making you feel nothing.

The physical version of GTA 6 will only include a digital code.

There will be no disc.

I like how Flea Market Montgomery video is recommended to everyone after release of Backrooms
