I have reason to believe that infernal guitar solo at the end of “Hotel California” will be the last thing I hear on this earth, and I’m truly dreading it.

@BilgeEbiri Fully co-sign!

Sorry to the haters, but HAMNET is awesome. vulture.com/article/hamnet…

@BilgeEbiri Man, I really don’t like this stupid team.

This game might have just ended.

@AADowd What a drag. The previous Cap movies were total MCU highlights.

@AADowd Co-sign. Sigh.

@AADowd Fully co-sign. He got that any object, given creepy atmospheric resonance could be terrifying — exactly the way our nightmares tend to coalesce around shit that we can’t explain in the morning.

@StephenSilver But they didn’t believe him, right? Baez tells him he’s full of shit about being in a traveling circus.

One thing I loved about A COMPLETE UNKNOWN: It established that if you’re from Minnesota and move to New York, you can tell people any wild thing about your background and they’ll believe you

@BilgeEbiri You would make a good Juror No. 8.

Saw democracy manifest (Juror No. 2), now about to enjoy a succulent Chinese meal.

@BilgeEbiri I feel as if you personally curated that particular double-feature…

Come watch ATHENA and LAST OF THE MOHICANS with me tomorrow. paristheaternyc.com/film/athena

Fascinating, if harrowing, double-feature today: The strong A REAL PAIN, concerning a sort of homeland return by a pair of Jewish cousins to Poland; and the tragic Palestinian doc NO OTHER LAND, about Israel’s systematic destruction of West Bank villagers’ homes. #PFF

THE BRUTALIST: Exists simultaneously as a sweeping, post-war immigration treatise; and as a canny meta-metaphor of the difficulty and cost of artistic achievement. “Is there a better description of a cube other than its own creation?” #pff

Seated for THE BRUTALIST, and had to make a hard choice between a seat with less cushion but more legroom, or the opposite. Opted for legroom, but we’ll see how that plays out over the next 215 minutes. #pff

@noahgittell Let’s go, Sixers!

@Kafkaesque83 My condolences, man. We will do our best.

Tough couple innings for the offense, but I still feel good. Suarez will be out of the game soon, and we crush the Phils bullpen.

@noahgittell Congrats, man. Now go and kick everyone else’s ass.

@Kafkaesque83 I wish you well. That's all I got for ya right now.

@noahgittell Boo!

Listening to the game while walking in a cemetery. One of these tombstones gonna say "Phillies 2024 season" in an hour or so

Paul Schrader's OH CANADA! is a lovely film that tackles a tough subject but manages to be surprisingly light on its feet. Also features a wonderfully pissy Richard Gere. vulture.com/article/oh-can…

@BilgeEbiri Ok, roger that.

@Kafkaesque83 This is Dr. T erasure.

@noahgittell There is, of course, another side to that story. Sigh.

I am tipsy and wandering around the UWS high-fivimg Mets fans and life is good.

@BilgeEbiri Two of my favorite guys!

Great screening. Lovely 35mm print, too.
