Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is pretty cool. The story is pretty damn familiar at this point, but it's done with style. Have a couple of quibbles with the Jacob Elordi makeup job, but I'm not really sure why. Probably starts stronger than it ends.

People whining about inflation during the Biden years by posting DoorDash receipts for things they could have walked a block to buy and being shocked at how expensive it is. The retort being "maybe don't hire a taxi to get a burrito." Then people show up to say that retort is ableist.

It cannot be a coincidence that the most reason season finales of the two Prime Video R-rated superhero shows ended on Nine Inch Nails tracks from the With Teeth album.

I will say though that that ending plays a little different now than it did in 2003.

Bugonia is a little less vital than Lanthimos' last couple of movies just as a function of being a remake and maybe being a tad more conventional but outside of that it's still a banger. Looks really cool, good performances, tense at times.

Might be telling that the two stand-out chase scenes of the year both involve a younger generation finally stepping up to do something about the evil that the society around them has failed to do anything about.

How do we know what he's "supported." He's not an elected official of any kind and has no voting record to speak of.

That a major faction of the party engage in what amounts to Trumpian election denial conspiracy theories is under-discussed.

"Iffy" meaning something you don't agree with? That doesn't really matter. Seven million Americans taking to the streets to demand basically anything should have warranted more coverage than that. Suppressing it was plainly an editorial decision to place thumbs on scales.

The fact that the largest day of protest in 55 years takes up less than 10% of the page is what means it was buried. Like, you have to be fairly delusional not to see what's happening there.

MJS @themovievampire.bsky.social · 2d

The claim is and was that they were burying and downplaying the largest single day of protest in America since 1970. Which they undeniably did. Your own apparent niche distaste for the protest is not relevant to its newsworthiness.

Bro, "second top story" is not an accurate description of this...

Well, the NYT sent a form Email to the people who wrote in to complain about their choice to bury "No Kings" below the fold. I guess I'm glad enough people complained to warrant a response but the response sucks. Going to post their form email and the reply I sent to it here.

Bro, the lengths they went to in order to bury the largest protest in America since 1970 is obvious:

NTY cover burying the No Kings protest.
