There’s a nor’easter in NYC and my ceiling, which the super (that robbed me) was supposed to fix ages ago, is leaking. I want to hit up the landlords but still have to finish paying rent so they can handle it. Please help if you can. I’m so tired.

My favorite thing about #NYCC is watching the ASL translators at panels. Sometimes more expressive than the panelists. The way you should’ve seen the woman translating the “Gravity” clip at the Hazbin Hotel panel. She was jamming while translating like she was at a Warped tour.

TRON: ARES is an expensive ass 404 Error. If you can afford subwoofers for the Nine Inch Nails soundtrack that's a better investment than seeing this chaotic flashy noise-fest with a Chat GPT-type script on a big screen.

AFTER THE HUNT might be one of the most insufferable movies I had the displeasure of watching this year. A frustrating smorgasbord of dated topics with Diet Tár energy. One of Guadagnino's and 2025's worst films. #FilmSky #AfterTheHunt

'After the Hunt' Review: Luca Guadagnino's Pretentious Misfire of a #MeToo Psychodrama

Kathryn Bigelow's A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE is at the service of a hokey hypothetical that intends to detonate your suspense, manipulate your current American fears, and winds up imploding on itself. Bring Pre-Hurt Locker Bigelow back, please!

My #NYFF63 review: www.rendyreviews.com/movie-review...

'A House of Dynamite' Review: Kathryn Bigelow's American Nuclear Thriller Explodes in a Vacuum

While enjoyable for its technical aspects, it’s another example of Kathryn Bigelow's tendency to spin her wheels by producing films with the same old frustrated aura.

In Kent Jones’ LATE FAME, Willem Dafoe portrays a former poet who gets nostalgia for a life not lived while navigating today’s bleak nepo baby-driven NYC art scene. Easily, I ate this up.

Read my #NYFF63 review:

'Late Fame' Review: Willem Dafoe Navigates Career Uncertainty and Nepo-Babies in Mellow NYC Satire

Kent Jones’ entertaining and scathing contemporary adaptation of 1895 fable about a an older poet and his new and younger adorning fans earns a snap or two.

With THE SMASHING MACHINE, Benny Safdie holds up Mark Kerr up like Rafiki with Simba but fails to signify why he's holding him up in the first place. Watched twice wanting it to TKO me, but, alas, it's only full of light jabs. #FilmSky #MovieCritic

‘The Smashing Machine' Review: Benny Safdie and Dwayne Johnson's Sports Bio-Drama is Full of Light Jabs

Benny Safdie's technical mastery and filmmaking craft are undeniable in 'The Smashing Machine', but despite a respectable performance from Dwayne Johnson, the film delivers a dull, one-note character ...

You’re cancelling Tilly Norwood for being an AI actress. I’m cancelling Tilly Norwood because I heard her use a racial slur on someone at an after-party. We are not the same.

"Although it provides some intriguing character dynamics and a glimpse into the post-apocalyptic world, the series is so hurried that it fails to deliver a compelling and well-developed story,” writes @rendy.bsky.social about the squandered potential of MARVEL ZOMBIES.

Marvel Animation's "Marvel Zombies" Doesn't Have Enough Flesh On Its Shambling Bones | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert

An underdeveloped and underwhelming horror venture for Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
