Obsession is a nifty, actually creepy little number. Funny, with a nice jolt of nightmare logic.

@cwik_greg The episode where she’s lost the weight and they must face their sexual anxiety hits me hard.

Niles's love for Daphne is so wonderful

@faceuh8 Green getting Greeny when you least expect it.

@CEBowenJr Oh wait, I do remember it now. Yeah, it wasn't bad at all.

After that offensively bad EXORCIST movie, I'm afraid I can no longer trust David Gordon Green. And I was largely on board for his HALLOWEEN movies, and I love MANGLEHORN and PRINCE AVALANCHE. The damage one film can do.

@faceuh8 It is so gorgeous. Everyone is in sync with the spirit of it. That and Burton Batman remain high points of comic book movies for me.

I'm going to be perfectly frank with you people: DICK TRACY is a really good movie.

@cwik_greg Yeah, it’s badly conceived in every department. The miscasting of Frederick was especially astonishing.

@CEBowenJr It feels like a work of ego that misses everything that made the original so good

Frasier is in my top ten shows, but the reboot is genuinely one of the worst things ever. It's so bad. Awful.

The last 30 minutes of Hard Target are still John Woo’s best work for the States.

@faceuh8 Closing Time is my favorite Waits, and thusly one of my favorite albums period.

A side of Tom Waits too few people are familiar with. On this album alone, you have "Ol' 55," "Rosie," "Little Trip to Heaven," "Martha," and "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You." All great stuff. That he can do this *and* BONE MACHINE *and* "Boots on the Ground" is wild.

some Americans have literally been paying into Social Security for 50, 60 years; & this multi-billionaire from South Africa dismisses Social Security as a mere "entitlement"--not workers' actual pay, deferred. cutting Social Security would be literally--not metaphorically: literally--stealing earned money from American citizens. please let us hope that MAGA gets this news from some source other than Fox; otherwise, MAGA might agree to it without comprehending.

the biggest enshittification that ive seen post-2020 is every customer-facing job running off a skeleton crew cause every company realized that they can *technically* survive off of it and increase their profits in the process

@SeanMBurns I assume Doug Coughlin is responsible for both stars in that rating, which is as it should be.

We celebrate the 81st birthday of one of Michigan’s finest. Bob Seger was the soundtrack of my youth, and as I grow older, I find myself appreciating his greatness (and his lyrics) that much more. #RollMeAway

@SeanMBurns @cwik_greg In this perpetually wounded fanboy candy land, the only people not bias are those who produced the movie under discussion.

"Elitist." "Snob." "Pretentious." "They hate movies." "Biased." Shut up.

film noir rules bc there's like 5 jobs. detective, mobster, insurance salesman, secretary and/or lady who kills people

@cwik_greg Gute and Burt Reynolds seemed to be having a contest back then to see who could mismanage their career the most.

Steve Guttenberg has been in a few great movies and many, many bad ones. Real bad.

@cwik_greg That would be intriguing. I’m picturing Beau Travail with monsters.

Imagine if Claire Denis made The Odyssey. That would be interesting.

Not a big Korine guy but Beach Bum was terrific.

@cwik_greg That Exorcist movie should’ve really quashed any illusions on the part of horror fans.

David Gordon Green mostly sucks but horror fans seem to go easy on him

@faceuh8 Yeah, because the original was so skittish about getting uncomfortable with the family.

this guy plans on teasing out the secret dark underbelly of the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE family
