@irene_silvera @letterboxd Letterboxd has a huge opportunity to become the new IMDb and in many ways has become that for my generation and younger. IMDb’s extremely frustrating forced mobile interface has kept me off for years unless I need very specific information like filming locations, etc.

I had to help someone on a non-iPhone today. It felt like trying to operate one of those fake, plastic toddler phones.

@paulfeig Met him about five years ago when I was a theatre manager. A consummate professional and eccentric - couldn’t have been a nicer guy. He cared deeply about the performance, more than any artist I had met at that job.

@GreenHalover I guarantee you that anybody who has read a Batbook since the 90s has read it in Conroy’s voice.

My son is 15

I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby.

I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline.

When he was little stores and businesses didn’t have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn’t celebrate pride month.

He was raised Catholic, and went to church.

Guess what? He is gay.

The rainbow won’t make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won’t make your kid trans, they are born that way.

If you don’t love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent.

They haven’t failed, you have.

Not enough people have seen Smoke, he’s incredible in that film.

[Josh Valentine @jvwriter87]

The character names in Now You See Me are ridiculous.

@redroomrantings I rarely whine about interface changes, but it’s so difficult to access information. Wikipedia has become a go to for access movie information.

What's one of the best displays of fear in a movie?

I'll start:

[Josh Valentine @jvwriter87]

I’m so confused by the Barbie discourse. I adore Greta Gerwig’s filmography and maybe we’ll get a fun, heartfelt movie. Fine by me.

[Patton Oswalt @pattonoswalt]

What’s a movie where the cast — even down to one-scene and even one-line day players — was perfectly in sync? Just, everyone got the vibe and knew the assignment? These are my top three:

[Josh Valentine @jvwriter87]

Oh, I have to be somewhere important in the morning for 7:00am and it takes me five minutes to get there? Better set an alarm for 6:00am and 6:05am and 6:10am despite the fact that I’ve never missed an alarm. Also, my brain will just wake me up at 5:53am.

@FilmMomatic @SchlockHorror @letterboxd Start with City Lights

[Josh Valentine @jvwriter87]

My fatal flaw: I am always entertained by the Jumbo Tron Look-a-like videos.

[Josh Valentine @jvwriter87]

Name an actor who may not always be the main character but always makes the movie they’re in better.

I will never not be excited when I see Olympia Dukakis’ name in the credits.

[Diandra Krueger //// @SassySledgehmmr]

[Josh Valentine @jvwriter87]

A perfect feel-good movie with one of the most charming young acting performances ever, no notes.

[Michael Matteo Rossi @MichaelMatteoRo]

Who had one of the best 'breakout' performances?

I'll start:

[Josh Valentine @jvwriter87]

The AMC Sunset 5 is permanently closed and that really sucks.
