This is going to be for films, music, shows, my fav celebs, the occasional book and game, and rarely also leftist politics too. Please behave! Free Palestine. Fuck AI forever. I'll always love Sydney Sweeney and Maya Hawke

Wuthering Heights (2026): This didn't care about the book or the concept of books, and it continued Emerald Fennell's trend of not caring about poor people. It slayed still, nevertheless, to the point it makes me question whether I do either

The Strangers: Chapter 3 - I almost started crying from laughing in my theater when they did the dramatic final reveal of who Scarecrow was and acted like it wasn't literally spoiled/told to you in the first non-prologue scene of this same movie, not even either of the prior two

The Rider (2017): Maybe one of my toughest watches (the rehab scenes bring back bad memories I had recovering from arm breaks and briefly experienced the same hand-locking-up reactions he has). Still very happy I was recommended this before I check out Hamnet, Chloe seems like an incredible director

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Boys Go to Jupiter: Creatively animated kinda-musical sorta-comedy about how quietly crushing it is to live, work, and have dreams for a living. Rozebud is me

I cannot say this enough: there is NO middle ground when it comes to writing and AI. Anyone who uses AI to write and admits it should be loudly shamed, hideously embarrassed, paraded through the streets of shun until they flee writing forever
The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

Dracula: A Love Tale - Caleb Landry Jones gives his best performance yet in a tonally-everywhere (and I do mean everywhere; the balcony suicides scene might just still be in my top 10 funniest scenes by December) Dracula story that peaks with its (admittedly wonderful) prologue.

Iron Lung: if I gave half stars this would be 3.5. I was a solid 3 (still pretty impressed!) until the final third, the blood-soaked descent into madness. Limiting who we experience all this with to just Markiplier visually makes that runtime really felt at times before.

Mandy, Indiana - URGH: if you've never heard an English-French noise rock album where every song is worthwhile, have I got a new release for you. A distinct stunner even before Sicko! drops in; will still be on my best of the year list in 10 months

Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025): The Wrong Turn remake director made a Silent Night, Deadly Night remake involving a curse and the guy from Halloween Ends? Yeah, you people that think I'm insufferable or suck for liking certain things are gonna have an even worse time now. Made for me exclusively.

Send Help: my Drag Me to Hell king is back and it feels so good. Hooted and hollered at the boar scene and it wasn't even my third favorite moment. Add it to the "good for her" cinematic universe!

Currently watching Starbuck slowly break apart because there's a Cylon she can't kill. This episode is great.

All About Lily Chou-Chou: Three of the last four things I've seen have been ultra depressing, guess how I'm doing? Looks beautiful every scene, is stunning every scene, made me wanna cry or die at least twice every half hour, and you're telling me this isn't even 70% on Rotten Tomatoes? fuck off

Shame and Money: It feels weird seeing so much of yourself in a story inherently about shame. Like yeah it's in the title of the film and all, but. Nothing prepares you for the first time someone does something for you just because you did (or had to do) something for them

Levitating (2026): The power of community and the infectious happiness that can come from finding your people, told through possessive trance dancing. Can't say I've seen anything like it, can't say I expected it to make me feel so much in those last 20mins. Always lead with compassion.

Burn (2026): 103min of the phrase "Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is just a train". A world that starts with prayers for an abusive parent's death being answered only for other, worse horrors to await the young ones making the wish.

If I Go Will They Miss Me: A solid Sundance so far becomes even better with this impressive heartache of a dad returning to his son's life to find neither understand the other, not even how to communicate that they don't understand each other.

zi: Fuck it, I was the only one that seemed to love A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, I guess I'll be the only one to really like zi. Kogonada just gets it for me. Beautiful depictions of love, the ways it makes you sound stupid, the ways it can make you seem like you're the only 2 people in the world.

Night Nurse (2026): Alternatingly "delightfully weird" and "weird-weird". That first half hour's oppressively close and it only begins to pull back once it feels like it's properly numbed you to the age-gap situation, but new layers get uncovered after that to where you're never entirely comfortable

Jaripeo: One of those rare times where a) I think a documentary should have been longer, like I could have heard the subject or been with these characters for a lot longer than 70mins, and yet b) I think it being as short as it was helped clinch me being on the positive side about it.

Rock Springs: It's me. Back at it again: my fifth Sundance in a row. Starting my Sundance 2026 off with a bang and some tears. A lesser-acknowledged part of our shameful history gets dissected (and in the second part depicted) in a three-part ghost story in the titular Rock Springs, Wyoming.

And while we’re at it, ask yourself why your favorite liberal commentator or personality is condemning ICE but never venturing to criticize Democrats and leaders who aren’t using their power to stop them and ask yourself if there’s a financial reason for it.
