Mild spoilers Watched Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma by Jane Schoenbrun today! It was an interesting movie to digest for sure. I wouldn't say it's as impactful to me as I Saw the TV Glow was, but still a solid film overall. I think that one of the more interesting things that I feel like could have been opened up more on was about Little Death. I may have just missed out on a lot of context surrounding them (unsure about pronouns?) due to my auditory processing being absolute dogshit. But…

Rapiña (1975) Porfirio (Ignacio López Tarso), a poor woodcutter, witnesses an airplane crash in the mountains near his home. He picks through the bodies and wreckage for valuables, hording his collection in a nearby cave. He brings his brother-in-law, Evodio (Germán Robles), to the crash site, to gather more of the dead’s belongings before the authorities arrive. Porfirio’s lofty ambitions for his family quickly erode into madness, as his greed gives into paranoia and eventually murder. Much…

We found a stowaway in the penne!

There’s just one recording today, starting with the end of The Weakest Link. It’s Rugby Players, but I wouldn’t have known that without checking Genome. There’s a trail for Junior Apprentice. Plus a World Cup trail that’s longer than the one we saw a few days ago. And a trail for The Big Personality Test: A Child of Our Time special. Then it’s Doctor Who – Cold Blood, the second part of the two-part Silurian story. It starts with a narration which the subtitles say is ‘Eldane’ who we haven’t…

In the midst of a desperately cruel August, we ended up losing Tim Curry. He had a ton of wonderful performances to his name, three of which really don’t cry out for further examination. Muppet Treasure Island is a delight that loses out to The Muppet Christmas Carol only because it doesn’t have a globally celebrated holiday associated with it to keep it peretually in the cultural zeitgeist; his take on Pennywise in It was easily the miniseries’ saving grace; his turn as Frank-N-Furter in The…

I enjoyed the 'Wham! 10 Days in China' film if only for the footage of peak-Wham, especially George Michael's beautiful singing of Careless Whisper - who then or now can sing like that live? Seeing that second show in Guangzhou in April 1985 would be up there on my fantasy list of top ten gigs I would have loved to have been at (won't bore you with the full list but it would include the Velvet Underground at the Gymnasium in New York 1967, Sly and the Family Stone at the 1969 Harlem Cultural…

"I wanna make something that feels fresh and new." A film maker (Hannah Einbinder) travels to the home of the reclusive star of an old slasher film (Gillian Anderson), to find that she is living on the set of the film - an old kid’s summer camp. I was quite excited for this having enjoyed Jane Schoenbrun’s last effort, I Saw the TV Glow. Once again it’s a one-of-a-kind, beautiful spectacle that sets out its core themes and runs with them in offbeat directions. Maybe there are a few more…

Silo has become synonymous with AppleTV and their incredible slate of prestige science fiction. The support they’ve thrown at this show has been absolutely incredible. In fact, the show probably wouldn’t have gotten off the ground without them. Over the past six years, the group that assembled around this show has become like family to me, and they’ll live in my heart forever. But there’s another family that rarely gets any mention, without whom this show wouldn’t exist, and that’s an…

»Sehr minimalistisch.« Der Profesor betrachtete die Zucchinschaumcreme mit den geschmorten Zucchinstreifen. Die Zucchini aus seinem Garten. »Und eine Augenweide«, fügte er hinzu. Ich nickte bestätigend. Es war eine Vorspeise. Der Geschmack überzeugte uns sehr. Cremig. Schaumig. Locker. Mit diesem Röstgeschmack. Knoblauch und Rosmarin – und ein Hauch scharzer Pfeffer. Zutaten für zwei Portionen Anmerkung: Dieses Gericht ist eher als Vorspeise gedacht 500 g Zucchini für die Schaumcreme (Ich…

The new Netflix adaptation of My Brilliant Career (2026) is an enjoyable miniseries, in large

We've talked about half-hour shows, hour shows, 90-minute shows, and even 45-minute shows, but here we see an example of the 70-minute show. What's that, you say? You don't remember 70-minute programs? Of course not, because there aren't any. In reality, they're nothing more than hour-long shows with ten extra minutes of commercials! As if some of these shows weren't already long enough, the late-night timeslot has become dominated by bonus commercials. Look at WCCO and KMSP, for example, or…

It’s no secret that the Hollywood Comet loves musicals. In 2010, I revealed I had seen 400 movie musicals over the course of eight years. Now that number is over 600. To celebrate and share this musical love, here is … Continue reading →

There is a clear affinity between Irish and classic Russian dramatists connected through an existential pastoralism, a relational quality that sees a shared understanding of human identity in the countryside, inner life and the complexities of daily interaction that make the smallest domestic heartache feel like a grand tragedy. And Irish writers have found considerable […]

One of the movie series I've really enjoyed over the past decade is what's typically referred to as the Fast and Furious saga.I first saw THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS (2001) a decade ago and then caught up on all the films released to that point via DVD. I've seen all the more recent films theatrically, beginning with THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS (2017). Indeed, FAST 9: THE FAST SAGA (2021) is a special memory, one of the very first movies I saw in a theater in 2021, after 16 months of no moviegoing due…

During the first two seasons of Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, one of the most enigmatic characters is never seen on screen. Special Agent Dale Cooper sends micro-cassettes to the mysterious Diane back at the F.B.I. Headquarters. Magically, she delivers ear plugs overnight when the Icelanders invade The Great Northern Hotel and offers unseen... The post Dispelling the Rumor About Carol Lynley Playing Diane in ‘Twin Peaks’ appeared first on TWIN PEAKS BLOG.

🍿 Finished watching: The Adam Project. Finally watched a family movie. This one had a few swears in it, but nothing my kids haven’t heard before (sadly). Love time travel stories. This one was a 7/10 (even though the logic fails so many times) - by Ryan Reynolds nails his role.

by Cláudio Alves Helen Hayes' Oscar-winning turn in THE SIN OF MADELON CLAUDET is the quintessential Pre-Code Best Actress vehicle, detailing the story of a "fallen woman" with a kind of candor that would be forbidden by July, 1934. Last time in this alternative Oscar history, we looked at the first three seasons of the Academy Awards through my dream Best Actress quintets. They coincided with the last few years when American silent cinema was still produced stateside by the big studios in…

in this age of resurrected AI celebrities idk how I feel about cartoon peter lorre the animation in this movie is a brave effort but cel shading on 3d animation just does not hit the same is peter lorre/granny an example of the weirdest guy you've ever met/astonishing baddie dynamic good to have canonical confirmation, after decades of queerbaiting, that wile e coyote and the roadrunner are together in some kind of depraved kink situation john cena should only act in movies opposite cartoon…

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: FULL SPOILERS In "Slingshot" (2024), two determined men face a cosmic divide, caught between duty and destiny in a high-stakes space thriller. My Rating: ½ (0.5/5 stars) Don't waste your time. It looked interesting and had some big-name actors and actresses, but it wasn't worth it. The movie was too long for the ending it had, and the plot was weak. This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
