MONSTROUS MUSINGS
The Giant Conspiracy Happening Against YOU
By Phil Nobile Jr.
I work with a pretty cool and diverse spectrum of employers, staffers and freelancers. Folks of different genders, sexuality, races, backgrounds. I think we're all pretty aligned ethically, morally, and where human rights are concerned, but when it comes to movies, opinions, and pop culture tastes and takes, we're all over the place.
And that's great. Sure, I will shake my head at a co-worker's opinion on a movie from time to time. We might even debate our differing positions. It's fun! But I'm becoming increasingly aware that this kind of civil, respectful coexistence is giving way to a troubling, growing line of thinking I see in the world - and, more and more, in horror: "If you disagree with me, something is up." It's not even "you're wrong"; it's
"you're only pretending to have a different opinion than mine, which is the correct opinion."

Twice a year the daylight savings in Germany and America don't line up - Germany's is 3 weeks after America's this month - and all of my carefully memorized time zone math goes hinky and, boy, does it make scheduling meetings and interviews a bitch.

ALT: a woman with a spider in her mouth is screaming
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jessie Buckley built #TheBrideMovie in a lab to give me the movie of my dreams. A shrieking, brazen journey of an ungovernable woman and a man who wants her to burn it all down if it means feeling her warmth. I loved every second of it.

The Bride! Review
Reclamation, reinvigoration, rejuvenationβ¦ that is the song that Gyllenhaalβs The Bride sings.
Here comes the mfing bride indeed!
Is Buckley our greatest living actress? I find myself more and more convinced she is with each role.
Gyllenhaalβs third feature is my kind of fever dream, even if there's a bit in the middle that left me grinding my teeth.

I know journalism is a rapidly deteriorating industry, but it also feels like fighting a losing battle when folks on here are mostly sharing articles to dunk on them, rather than solid pieces from journos and critics out here trying our best every day to stay working and writing

While editing, I'm always confirming the spelling of famous people's names online, and the frequency with which Google autofills "[actress name] breast size" is so fucking depressing, what is wrong with you nerds, please mind your own business, I'm so tired

I'm as in love with Rachel Weisz as the next girl but I think it's important to acknowledge what a truly terrible archivist she plays in the Mummy movies. My gal does not leave a single historical document or artifact like she found it.

The idea of bombing children as a form of βself-defenseβ is nonsensical and grotesque, but nonetheless itβs the argument the U.S. and Israel have been relying on for years and years. It shouldnβt be hard to take a stance against slaughtering children

Shout out to @momoshaty.bsky.social and @nighttidemag.bsky.social for letting me get this off my chest.
Awards season plays in our faces every year and itβs time to stop pretending itβs a surprise every single time and actually do something.

I've spent the past few months outside my comfort zone at work, doing all sorts of things that are good for professional and personal development, but holy moly, does it feel nice to just sink into a PDF of the upcoming mag and do the job I've been doing for 8 years. Comfort zone, I missed you.
