All-timer of a first sentence in this review: "Like all great films, Renny Harlin’s solidly enjoyable 'Deep Water' is about an airplane that crashes right into a big pile of sharks." https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/deep-water-2026-movie-review-renny-harlin-1235190976/

I have two new albums by dream pop bands on my playlist right now. The bands are named Wishy and Deary and I want someone to tell me what’s going on in the band-naming factory.

Attended a seder. Took a hoummous-sized dollop of pure ground horseradish. Died. Apparently Jesus brought me back but it was a total blackout.

On reflection, I always knew Morrissey was an asshole. It’s plain as day in the lyrics. I just liked it because he was an asshole to the kind of people who harassed nerds like me. In hindsight given his late-stage assholery, I think the lesson is: don’t tolerate bullies even if they’re bullying people you dislike. Shut them down regardless.

This is the first manned moon mission in my lifetime.

Folks, right now all five Academy Award nominees for Best International Film—The Secret Agent, It Was Just An Accident, Sirât, The Voice of Hind Rajab, and winner and maybe my favorite film of 2025, Sentimental Value—are streaming on Hulu.

Vaping looks so dumb, like a grown person using a fat USB drive as a pacifier

Reminder that scooters are not transportation infrastructure they're a) excuses sold to cities that give cities cover for not building transportation infrastructure and b) private ventures with zero accountability that commercialize the commons and suck $$ out of the community. They're a bad idea and when you ride them you should feel bad.

If you don't know anyone who is trans it's almost certainly because they haven't told you

There's so much to love about Up (Pete Docter, 2009) just on the face of it: that magnificent image of the house rising under an embarrassment of multicolored balloons, and of course the wordless prologue which is guaranteed to dehydrate any feeling adult 1/N
