perhaps the most underrated album of the decade

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · 12h

other random weezer-sugar ray trivia is that rivers wrote "love is the answer" for sugar ray and gave it to them to record, only to for weezer to record it themselves years later. both of them have it on one of their albums and incredibly, the sugar ray version is better.

my gut says it's not generational, just a difference in how much (or perhaps how) people love movies. but, i also suspect gen z might not have as strong a connection to the cinema as previous generations, so that could play a role. i'm a millennial and i love going to the pictures!

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · 16h

all movies? or just some movies?

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · 17h

it makes me feel like, genuinely in touch with my true self!!

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · 17h

totally agree. it's a special way of grounding and connecting with myself.

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · 17h

right??

i don't like movies where all of the characters just mope around sadly while not doing much, and i really don't like country music, so THE LAST PICTURE SHOW was always going to be an uphill battle for me.

hell yeah brother. i didn't grow up poor, but i'm a child of divorce & some of the only good memories i have of hanging out with both of my parents at once is when we'd go to the movies together, so the theater will always have a special place in my heart.

i love going to the movies with my fiancee. i love going with a friend too. i love going with a big group, i love going with my family, and i love going alone, because i love the fucking movies!!

i don't want to be a gatekeeper, so i'm not going to say that people who agree with this tweet don't actually like movies. not gonna say it.

Tweet from @israeldfirzt: "Going to the cinema alone is a different level of lonely"

i'm slowly going to start unfollowing everyone who 1) i don't know IRL and 2) doesn't post exclusively about movies or cats. i only want movies and cats on my feed.

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · 1d

just watched BONE (1972) and i recommend you do the same. completely insane, anomalous, contradictory miracle of a movie.

blocking #letterboxd users who leave reviews like this, for self-care purposes

Review of I Know What You Did Last Summer by Letterboxd user justinwuah. Review says: "obsessed with everyone in that friend group serving face"

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · 1d

it's incredibly endearing that you asked me, a stranger, to watch a film from your watchlist. glancing at it briefly and it seems we have similar taste, so i'll check 'em out! thank you for the recs!

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · 4d

if you want a great movie about one man's obsessive quest for athletic glory, watch HIM, not THE SMASHING MACHINE #letterboxd #LastFourWatched

Seth's last four movies watched: ROOFMAN, SAFE (1995), HIM and THE SMASHING MACHINE (2025)

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · 4d

it's a legendary track. mike jones, paul wall and slim thug are all super underrated!

thinking about deleting this account

there's a stereotype that MCU fans only want morally simplistic, "good vs. evil" tales that unambiguously cheer for one side to triumph & ultimately leave them feeling warm and fuzzy inside. i don't agree re: MCU fans, but i do think there are a lots people who demand this of political films.

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · Sep 4

the most sweaty, slippery, oozy, gooey monsters i can think of are members of congress!!! *slaps knee*

i have an endless well of tolerance for terrible karaoke performances so that's probably informing me on this, but you're probably right

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · Sep 4

kinda like in SVU when they setup a sting using the vic as bait rather than just busting down the perp's doors and arresting him

Seth 🍿 @sethasaurus.bsky.social · Sep 4

"my way" should be banned from movies, movie trailers, tv shows etc. only place it should be allowed is a) private listening and b) karaoke

One of my most unpopular political opinions is that preferring new political voices because they're new (not because of the substantive ideas they express) and therefore "fresh", "inspiring", "not the same old", etc., is a large part of how we got Trumpism.

if you're someone who thinks people should eat less meat and more plants, you'd have a hard time finding a better advocate than eric adams
