There is one sequence in the second act of #NopeMovie that is, I kid you not, some of the most uncomfortable and terrifying imagery of the year. I didn’t realize I was claustrophobic until that scene. Those screams still haunt me.

As I wrap up my time at #Sundance2025, I’m also wrapping up my time on X (I’ll still call it Twitter). Nothing truly left here, so please follow me on BlueSky and TikTok, soooo peace ✌️ I’ll pass my reactions there soon.

Weird I know one trans film whose creative team is associated with only the most wholesome and gutbusting tweets

@CameronRitter35 Dare I ask what the categories were? lol

Just voted for MEGALOPOLIS in an awards category…what am I becoming?

What's happening in southern California is just awful beyond belief. If you have a Roku, you can stream some of the local LA stations in the "live tv" section. They are all doing incredible work covering this.

🎬 TOMORROW (1/8) @ 9:30pm EST ✨ The 8th Annual #GoldenPeas nominees are unveiled 🍿 Please tune in 👉🏼 bit.ly/GP25Noms

@apat10 And both are in my personal 5 🙏

No director lineup is complete without these two. Two powerhouses who delivered such singular visions this year.

@TheMovieMermaid SAME exact thing was said about me!!! Glad I’m not the only one lol i literally do this for my job 🫠

Finally got my “no thnx” email from R🍅 and they said I don’t review enough 🥲 besties, I have two jobs plus my reviewing/interviewing what more do you want from me

@LukeHearfield It’s me. Feel sorry for me.

I feel bad for all the critics who have to watch The Brutalist for the first time via a screener link 😩

The Hundreds Beavers nomination is inspiring.

Okay, ill say… where is Karla?

I officially have had the screener in my inbox from Mubi for about a month, so this week, I’ll be braving my gore-aversion by watching #TheSubstance. I’m excited to finally watch it, but terrified for my stomach 🙏

@ghostinsoon I have no idea what to expect and I’m terrified I’m gonna weep 😭

this scene is going to destroy us btw in wicked part 2, we’re not ready at ALL

Me blasting #WickedMovie all morning:

And if I said Brigette gave one of the best performances of 2024? Because they do… in one of the best movies of the year.

Hollywood right now:

@CaptainKaye42 I think it will be close, but a billion just seems like a LOT. However, I’m ready to eat my words lol

Box office for #Wicked: will it hit a billion?

I can’t retweet/repost this enough 💚

“Consider me a believer in magic” I swear I can spell 🤦‍♂️

To make a caveat, I would like to see how they make a Part Two, as I’m genuinely curious as to why we need 2 parts??? I’ve never seen the Broadway musical, so I’ll reserve judgment on that end until I see the final product next year.

Consider me a believe in MAGIC!! #WickedMovie is cinematic whimsy at its finest. This production of Oz is as equally vibrant as the songs/choreography are — It all translates so seamlessly to the screen. Jon M. Chu should be COMMENDED! Erivo and Grande are equally fantastic.

@TwoPeasOnAPod While I do love Grande, it’s sad that Erivo won’t break through like she SHOULD. They were both equally deserving in my mind of praise 😢
