Same here in the states, but that last one seems to alternate b/w army recruitment ads and ICE recruitment ads 🙃

Part of why I think the Wild Card play in should be a 2-game series w/ the high seed getting the tie breaker. Home field isn't a large enough advantage

If this was QueensLink I'd be there, but it's hard for me to muster the energy to care about IBX. It's a net benefit but overall a pretty mediocre rail project

Good stuff. Go see this movie boxd.it/boaEK3

A ★★★½ review of Roofman (2025)

Beneath its silly, based-on-a-true-story premise is a disarmingly sincere, borderline character study about humanity's need for social interaction as a means of survival -- and that's way more than I ...

Why am I like this lol

Woke myself up from a dream to write up:

Story about a guy who is bumped into by someone on a train and gets pulled into a conflict that eventually leads to their wrongful arrest.

As they're being removed on a packed platform, one of their arresting officer gets pushed onto the train tracks by a passerby and killed. The other cop says something that implies blame to our protagonist, and they run in fear.

Rest of the film is about them trying to escape and clear their name while handcuffed and navigating the streets and subway of New York.

After Hours meets The Warriors.

I'd love to at least go back to what we had w/ Glass Onion: a 1 week release at 600 theaters including national chains like AMC. That'd be huge.

But Netflix has been so fucking hostile towards the theater business I'm not confident it'll happen www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Back In Theaters Over Halloween Weekend; This Time Netflix Movie Is Playing AMC

So much for theatrical windows, but Netflix’s Kpop Demon Hunters Sing-along is returning to cinemas from Oct. 31-Nov. 2. The first time the movie, which had already racked up record eyeballs on the st...

This would be less than half of AMC's theater footprint. For a 2 month old re-release of a 4 month old streaming release 🤦‍♂️ bsky.app/profile/disc...

AMC and Netflix have finally decided to work together.

The theater chain will show ‘KPOP DEMON HUNTERS’ on 400 screens during Halloween with discussions ongoing on other theatrical opportunities.

"Select" is very generous. It's only showing in a couple boutique shops in New York, for example. This deserves a wide release, same as A House of Dynamite (which Netflix also buried)

Equating a national race to a local one, even in New York City, is a wild level of intellectual dishonesty

Incredible insight, Christopher

Lol at the cognitive dissonance required to spend any energy discussing this in 2025 when the DNC has shown itself to be an order of magnitude less competent in every meaningful away

Shout to everyone who saw this was doomed to fail from day one 🫡

KennyGoo @kennygoo.bsky.social · 7h

Wish I could see it in theaters!

Hopefully you can partner w/ a different studio for your future films 🙏

Feels like there's been plenty of indicators along the way, but this is probably the most glaring one, yea

(And the saddest part is that all of this was explicitly in his manifesto. He never tried to hide what the plan was!)

KennyGoo @kennygoo.bsky.social · 8h

The best thing about the first film was the relationship b/w Elphaba and Galinda -- and that immediately went off a cliff when it became fan service for the Wizard of Oz.

That this casting is even worth speaking about doesn't inspire confidence in how part 2 is being handled.

I mean yea they had to do something historically unprecedented which breaks the competitive balance of the sport in order to stop choking in the playoffs, that's why everyone hates them now 😂
