#KissoftheSpiderWoman: 🕸️🕸️🕸️ 1/2 - Music numbers not up to snuff.
#BringHerBack: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 - Genuinely disturbing.
#ManhattanMurderMystery (R): ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 - It’s really Diane’s movie.
#Vicious: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Basically #TheBox, but better made.

Can you make a living of making Cameo videos? He’s about to find out.

The Formenton convo is such a rage-baiter. Will never happen.

Loved Samantha Eggar in #TheCollector. RIP.

Foote can’t coach his way out of a paper bag. #Canucks

I have nothing against Keira Knightley. Most of the times she’s fine. But #TheWomaninCabin10 is unwatchable. It’s a thriller for people who have never seen a thriller in their lives or aren’t particularly sharp.

Theee years of the same thing…

Foote is awfully under-qualified. There’s no system in place.

Angel Heart. I need to watch it again, knowing what I know now. (To my shame, I was fully surprised by the end)

Hey Evander Kane: #Canucks

Jorge Ignacio Castillo @jicastillo.bsky.social · 5d

Never bought into the “this Foote is different from the guy who got fired” narrative.

…and we enter the third year of our $11M 1C underperforming. #Petey #Canucks

Kane was a mistake. Hiring Foote as a coach was a bigger mistake. Both are fixable, but that would mean management to recognize some major blunders this off-season and that’s not going to happen. #Canucks

Evander Kane is terrible and should be traded immediately. #Caniucls

Jorge Ignacio Castillo @jicastillo.bsky.social · 7d

Totally inappropriate for today but Diane Keaton’s fully fleshed character in #LookingforMrGoodbar makes that ending infinitely more potent. RIP.

If you want to enjoy any form of art, you have to separate the work from the artist. Humans are imperfect by nature (granted, some more than others). If you look hard enough, you’ll find flaws on everyone.

I’ll do you one better. When I saw Bad Taste in 1991, I remember clearly thinking “I’m sure I’ll never hear from that guy ever again.”

A couple of weeks later I rented “Meet the Feebles”.

Not to mention, coach of the Universidad de Chile football club. RIP

Love the ‘nucks. Not loving a portion of the fanbase being openly racist towards one player (in other platforms, of course).

With the final cuts complete, who now makes the Canucks’ opening night lineup?

A full 59 players entered Vancouver Canucks Training Camp 2025. And following 35 cuts made at various stages of camp, just 24 remain on the team’s official opening day roster as of October 6, 2025. The Canucks made young RDs Tom Willander and Victor Mancini their final two cuts, bringing their active roster to…

“We interrupt our coverage of Gaza, the government shutdown and the looming threat of fascism around the globe to tell you what Taylor Swift probably meant with the chorus of the ninth song of her new record.”
