New Carly is so good (as expected)

[Arul @mangoSkull]

@anakminiso Can you block me so I won’t have to ever stumble across your vapidly tone deaf takes ever again.

Have not even used my Switch since probably 2021 (SwSh was my last game), but finally downloaded Champions this weekend and I’m hooked again

Building a rain / TR team with the Pelipper and Araquanid I caught & trained back in 2016 (Sun)

Now if we can have scald gastrodon back…

End of an era. That might just be my favourite episode of #IndustryHBO?

Ken Leung, GOAT

[Arul @mangoSkull]

Kogonada + Haley Lu Richardson, we are so back

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

Kogonada’s ‘zi’ will premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.

Starring Michelle Mao, Haley Lu Richardson and Jin Ha.

Set in Hong Kong, a young woman haunted by visions of her future self meets a stranger who changes the course of her night — and possibly her life.

I think she’s totally misunderstood what makes the innuendo in Sabrina’s work so sparkly and enjoyable, which is a core of silliness and camp that a stone cold narcissist is unable to achieve

[Arul @mangoSkull]

Loved how ep 5 of #AlienEarth feels like a self-contained feature film, completely contextualizes Morrow’s perspective, AND flips our perception of the role of a certain specimen…

[Arul @mangoSkull]

Forever chasing the high of experiencing the last act of Weapons for the first time

[Arul @mangoSkull]

Muting any mention of Weapons as I’m not seeing it til Tuesday

On a happier note, #MIFF2025 starts today!

My most recent new-to-me five star movies

(these were months apart, so many 4.5s!)

My most recent new-to-me five star movies

[Arul @mangoSkull]

Letterboxd down as I’m trying to lock in my MIFF schedule

[Arul @mangoSkull]

The Fringe Trilogy:
Midnight Cowboy ➡️ Fat City ➡️ Inside Llewyn Davis

Struggling in the fringes of society; a trilogy of those who just cannot win, getting increasingly jaded as it goes.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Which three movies should be watched together as an unofficial trilogy?

[Arul @mangoSkull]

CYB is banned, life is worth living again thank you LSS

[Arul @mangoSkull]

“from the director of BARBARIANS”

I’m mentally already in the cinema, seated, ready to be traumatized. Sold.

[New Line Cinema @newlinecinema]

There’s something wrong in Maybrook. #WeaponsMovie - only in theaters August 8.

[Arul @mangoSkull]

Don’t relate to the misogyny part, but my fave barber had a framed news article of the moon landing and would not stop talking about it being fake.

He stopped cutting hair, miss you Wayno

[_Melo_ @Mxlo_M_]

No, thanks. I like my haircut experience sprinkled with a bit of conspiracy theories and misogyny

[Arul @mangoSkull]

@carriecoon @ArrowFilmsVideo Fave Rohmer so far!

[Arul @mangoSkull]

@notcousinwayne Radiance (@FilmsRadiance), Umbrella (@UmbrellaEnt), and Indicator (@indicatorseries) have been my other faves

[Arul @mangoSkull]

A decade too late, but finally started The Leftovers.

Carrie Coon, Margaret Qualley, Ann Dowd?!

[Arul @mangoSkull]

@SaraHirschhorn1 Oh boo hoo you’re alive with a little bit of shampoo in your hair while your country continues to bomb children and hospitals.

Touch some fucking grass Sara

[Arul @mangoSkull]

@elldritchblast Perfect, no notes 😂😂
