after seeing the troubling video of a delivery worker arrested by police while doing his job. This is NOT acceptable and must stop. Food delivery is essential work and is EXEMPTED from the curfew.
Rick Santorum on CNN literally saying "Democrats need to give Republicans, including Trump, time and space to work through their feelings about losing."

I had Showtime Anytime but they got rid of it and told me to get Paramount Plus which I already have but I do not have Paramount + w/ Showtime and my account is ineligible for an upgrade to Paramount + w/ Showtime because it’s tied to my free Walmart+ account; maybe cable was OK
The Academy said no to an Oscar for Lady Gaga on A STAR IS BORN and then again on HOUSE OF GUCCI and now she’s done playing games and going for the sure thing: starring in a JOKER movie
the Variety article really made it sound like that guy had a strong case re: THE HOLDOVERS, but then you get to the attached script excerpts and the entire thing falls apart
George Clooney is the undisputed king of directing movies that do not exist.
THE MONUMENTS MEN, SUBURBICON, THE MIDNIGHT SKY, THE TENDER BAR, and now THE BOYS IN THE BOAT is a truly stunning run, one of the most forgettable of all time.
Weapons-grade unremarkable!
if the CDC under Trump were doing what they’re currently doing under Biden, “blue checks” and liberal Twitter would be in resistance mode and screaming at the top of their lungs to follow the science. instead nobody cares at all
Olivia Wilde discusses her approach to focus on female pleasure in sex scenes in

: “Men don’t come in this film,” she declares. “Only women here!”
I’m Facebook friends with a magician couple that broke up and one of them keeps listing items for sale like “single red clown nose” and frankly it is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen
this is Twitter’s trending news section, powered by Elon Musk’s Grok AI. it pulled in a bunch of joke tweets about this and is treating it as if it’s a real news story
it really is quite funny that the lady GHOSTBUSTERS movie was seen as such a debacle that Sony had to course-correct and reboot it again AND YET that movie had a bigger opening weekend than the more recent two
JOKER: The most fucked up thing that happens in the entire movie is when he takes a girl he’s interested in to see him do stand-up comedy at an open mic
meanwhile on Facebook, I am being served a fake announcement featuring a fake movie poster for a nonexistent movie that has 70,000 comments and 260,000 likes
JURY DUTY absolutely trouncing LORD OF THE RINGS, and every other Prime show, on Amazon’s free version of their streaming service is a lesson I can’t wait execs to learn nothing from
the best part of tying legacy verified accounts to Twitter Blue is now every celebrity will explicitly tweet “I am not subscribed to Twitter Blue” to make it clear that they are not. another brilliant stroke of genius from the master of business
TIL that the movie AIRHEADS with Adam Sandler Steve Buscemi and Brendan Fraser is out of print on Blu-ray and you cannot buy or rent it on streaming.
apparently the only way to see it is to travel back in time to the late 90s when it played on Comedy Central 6 times a day
THOR LOVE AND THUNDER: I’ve never seen a Marvel movie go over this badly with an audience; brutal considering it’s opening day and was sold out!
Not a single laugh for any of the barely-there jokes that make the entire thing! I feel … embarrassed for it?
#ThorLoveAndThunder
THE IRISHMAN: An instant Martin Scorsese crime classic that’s everything you want to be, and more.
De Niro’s best work in ages, Pesci lights up the screen, and Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa screaming about the Kennedys is the peak of cinema!
⚡️ When Anna said she was raped by two on-duty cops, she thought it would be a simple case.
She had no idea she lived in one of 35 states where officers can claim a detainee consented
THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS is *perfect,* no notes; every bit as polarizing and obtuse as the other sequels and I’m elated it exists. Totally earnest Wachowski sci-fi silliness and jaw-dropping action. I will watch it 600 times. This is a sequel to the sequels.

Don’t miss TENET in 70mm IMAX if it’s playing near you - watching this after he made OPPENHEIMER has clarified so much for me. The degree to which they’re thematically connected blew my mind; the audience gasped when his name gets mentioned. Did you remember that happens?
it’s so funny that John Wick, of all things, is the one showing up every blockbuster made at 2-3x the cost, not only through choreography & action but simply by *shooting in real locations*
what a concept! I’ll never get how Marvel spends so much to shoot things in a warehouse
and as
@daveanthony
points out the CDC straight giving up allows the right to step in and declare they were right all along and that CDC and all COVID rule followers should be punished. normal stuff.
@ScottMendelson
100%, it’s well deserved praise, not just for OPPENHEIMER but for any of the dozens of things I could name that he pops in and is the best part of. fun to know the celebrities agree with audiences on this
Rewatching the original CHILD’S PLAY with commentary and just learned that before they settled on Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky, Jessica Walter was one of the many voices they tried?! She recorded the entire thing. I need this to be unearthed
EXORCIST BELIEVER: Pretty funny that the demon seems to know all the iconic lines from the original movie.
Never could’ve predicted that SAW X would be the best legacy horror sequel this year. I hope Ellen’s paycheck was Burstyn.
the funniest thing about the Trump indictment is that it has nothing to do with anything he did while president. this was afterwards, he had already gotten away with so much! the man loves crimes
NOPE: Jordan Peele made a sci-fi blockbuster mocking the industry, about how audiences chew up artists and spit them out, commodify trauma, all the while advocating for the majesty of moviemaking magic and practical effects and spiting digital.
Honestly blown away. Brilliant!
