"The main draw, as in all McDonagh's work, is the exploration of a central duo’s relationship, which becomes a delivery device for philosophical and theological explorations of darker emotions." — on Wild Horse Nine, which just premiered at the Venice Film Festival

Wild Horse Nine review: McDonagh has done it again
Some of the best acting ever done by Malkovich, Rockwell and Buscemi, and one wickedly quotable line after another.

There's a way to make eighteen years of MCU lore feel playful and fun -- "Which of these movies is your favorite? Which is the most underrated? Who's the character you're most hoping to see in the spotlight?" -- and they're just ... not doing that.
The studio released an official catch-up list ahead of December’s release. We've got links to watch every one of the movies if you want to get up to speed.

his campaign just texted asking for money. I normally just block all those numbers. But this time, before doing so, I replied "Trans rights are human rights. Fuck you." I see no reason to revise any of that. FUCK this guy.

To all who equivocate on “Trans rights are human rights” because the polling says too many people are against it, you are not worthy of public office.

Just watched #Andor again, and I just have to say, what a towering achievement. Every piston firing. Every scene rock solid. Every set flawless. Every character rich and deep and meaningful.
And to do that in the shadow of the original trilogy and make it look easy and seamless.

When I broke into the animation industry the big battle of the time was that studios realized streaming was "new media" not covered by union contracts, and so if a production was destined for streaming they didn't have to pay union wages.
Streaming has always been a grift.
