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

Bodycam (2026): What do you get when you take "crooked cop gets self and partner trapped in a demonic addict-cult web" VHS short and stretch it from 20-25mins to 75mins, but also have the good ending be ~20+mins before the real ending?
Another solid entry for Kim, even if it's no The Collective. Favs: Play Me, Black Out, Busy Bee
Kim Gordon - Play Me: Not everything hits immediately (Girl with a Look and No Hands come to mind, unfortunate they're 2 of the first 3), but just to still take big swings (noise-rock trap a month before her 73rd birthday!) and not stay comfy with an already-impressive career locked up is admirable.
between "spider-man and spongebob are the only US heroes" and "get ready for $200 a barrel" i am drawing the conclusion iran at least rhetorically really has us figured out
The last 20 minutes made me so aware of the goosebumps on my arms. Someone elsewhere went to the premiere and said they felt like they were being hunted; same
undertone: So so so good and also so very uniquely a selling point for See This In Theaters because omg there's just...there's just no way anybody here has home sound quality that will do this justice.
until act three the shark in Jaws doesn't even know people are mad at him. he's just hanging out
The Mountain is the perfect opener to start this ride off, The Sad God is the harshest way to end it; both are the right choice and going on my Best Songs of the Year playlist.
Gorillaz - The Mountain: Cried for most of this, and even hearing the concept got me. Didn't want to relisten to it all so soon, but felt like I needed to. A masterpiece and a testament to the group that it may merely be their best since Demon Days or Plastic Beach.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weβre doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
NGL, have been waiting for this, and Walter understands this franchise so much better than its fans who demanded *this exact trainwreck*.
FFC review: SCREAM 7, by Walter Chaw (@mangiotto.bsky.social). filmfreakcentral.net/2026/03/scre...
She just announced an adaptation of Three Incestuous Sisters with Saoirse Ronan and Dakota Johnson, directed by the La Chimera director? Yes yes yes please
I'm so glad Jessie Buckley keeps doing weird shit in between coming for Oscars. Give me Chernobyl (GOATed imo), Hamnet and Women Talking; give me I'm Thinking of Ending Things (GOATed imo), Men and The Bride! Give me them all, and keep it coming.
"What if the Bride of Frankenstein was a neglected commoner surrounded by criminals and perverts, got possessed by literal Mary Shelley, got a second chance at a life she might deserve, and went full Bonnie And Clyde with it in the second half". More than enough here for me to justify multiple views
I'll always go to bat for giving weird shit a chance (especially when it's harder than ever to come by, and when it's arguably more necessary than ever to have more of it). This absolutely fits the bill. If neither the aforementioned Bale performance nor the first 20mins shake you off: enjoy.
The Bride!: When this comes to physical media I'm gonna rewatch it at least 6 times, and I swear to god if Christian Bale's accent or whatever the fuck he was going for here finally clicks by the end of the third or fourth watch, I'm going to end up loving this, not just really liking it.
This is Buzz: Visually creative (and thematically-relevantly-rebellious, also!) documentary about an ahead-of-its-time underappreciated aspect of MTV's history. Suffers from padding its runtime (a solid 70-80min doc extended 20mins with too much pre-debut fluff), but still worthwhile for the subject
Trans rights are human rights. This isn't a tough one.
made fan art for my favourite horror movie
My only post here until Monday despite having just started Slamdance: Justice for Melissa Barrera. Free Palestine.
There were human beings harmed over this, and Bluesky libs went out of their way to tell us that they don't view Black people as humans
And you expect solidarity, right? Pfft. A lot of yall are just as racist as MAGAs, if not worse because you ride a high horse and think you're one of the good ones
Every person with genuine human feelings knew this fact during the campaign. But the Harris campaign refused to listen to the chorus that both warned them and asked them to do the right thing.
Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support bc of the Biden administration's instance on backing the genocide in Gaza, Axios has learned.
Not even getting into the skin-picking scene, which particularly did me in because I do that shit all the time when I'm stressed, and I'm always stressed. Don't tell me this isn't a horror film.
The Plague (2025): Put my head in my hands multiple times after pausing two scenes actively begging for it to not go the way I thought it was about to go just for it to go that exact way.
Seeking Haven for Mr. Rambo: Very depressing film about a man who just wants kindness to himself, his mom, and his dog, and finds pain and no luck anywhere despite a seemingly endless supply of people wanting to help. Unfortunately relatable
Comfortable like a warm hug and as hesitant to let you go as you are to leave. Available on the Letterboxd Video Store through tomorrow night
The Golden Spurtle: I should have known a 70min documentary about a cozy community of people gathering together for a world porridge championship in Scotland would have wound up making me cry, but I was still not ready when it happened in those last few minutes.
