Fingers crossed for Henenlotter, for the sole reason of hearing y’all talk in length about Bad Biology

I’d like to formally point out that Jacques Tati’s Playtime technically had a US release in 1973 👀

Ian Stratta @yaboifritzlang.bsky.social · Sep 20

Actually looks like Adela came out in the US in 1980 so scratch that.

Ian Stratta @yaboifritzlang.bsky.social · Sep 20

Obvious title to me that might be left of because it’s not quite pure comedy: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Couple off-the-wall recommendations too: the Czech films Adela Has Not Had Supper Yet and Tomorrow I’ll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea

Literally, Trump's FCC goon Brendan Carr said on a podcast TODAY that ABC can "do this the easy way or the hard way".

The Trump administration is a mob organization shaking people down. We are so fucking cooked unless officials fight back on this bullshit.

A story in two parts

An LA Times article from July, headline reads, “‘Jimmy Kimmel is next’: Trump gloats after cancellation of Colbert’s ‘Late Show’”

An LA Times article from today, headline reads, “ABC drops ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ indefinitely over host’s Charlie Kirk remarks”

This is Rodrigo Duterte-level shit. Totally upsetting.

Had a little fist pump for you, Clay, for your defense of your last pick. Also my favorite movie of the year so far.

@sporer.bsky.social Hey Paul! Jo Adell’s intriguing me lately, 4 Ks in his last 8 games. Verifiable change in approach or is this just a flash in the pan?

Jonathan Joss' husband Tristan has released another statement saying that donations to their old home GoFundMe are not needed at this time and would ask for everyone to direct their energy towards spreading the message about how he was in fact murdered in a hate crime

While I deeply appreciate the support from everyone I wanted to let you know that I have had a couple offers regarding covering expenses for a celebration of life. I have absolutely no plans yet on that but I will try to keep everyone updated. There’s not a need to donate to the gofundme. But I want everyone to remember the joy and love Jonathan has brought and will continue to bring forever. I have my essentials covered and our family in San Antonio is taking care of me until I get back to South Carolina. Instead of donating Jonathan and I would both rather you spread the word about the consistent injustice done to him, to us, and to our dogs. We had so many beautiful plans for the future.

You said it because it’s correct.

My supporting actress category would be vastly different than the one the Oscar’s came up with

Best Supporting Actress -
1. Trine Dyrholm (The Girl with the Needle) 2. Tilda Swinton (Problemista) 3. Lesley Manville (Queer) 4. Michele Austin (Hard Truths) 5. Mahsa Rostami (The Seed of the Sacred Fig)
