“This stuff just flies through the air, they send this information beamed out over the fuckin place, you just got to know how to grab it, see, I know how to grab it.” RIP to one oh the true greats

Pacino scoffing but being so obviously terrified and saying “they wouldn’t dare” in the Irishman pops into my like once a week. The brief glance back at De Niro in between repeating himself. Damn.

Haven't seen Smashing Machine yet but The Rock is incredibly good at this sorta thing, it's a little insane. This bit in Pain and Gain is truly some of the best coke acting I've ever seen. Growing up around wrestlers in the 70s really goes a long way lol

Thinking again about how good Val was at the tactical movement in Heat. Mann’s obviously great at this stuff and I don’t think anyone got it better than Val

Michael Bay’s Parkour doc We Are Storror - few films I’m more excited about this year

Went off today

Kilmer is so fucking good in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Every line is perfect but “she’s just resting her eyes for a minute” kills me every time

The great Robert Forster passed 5 years ago today. Here he is in Walking the Edge with the finest ad-lib in the history of cinema

Videos

Watch Anya Live

Denzel just cooked every single one of us “I’m not a movie buff…I would’ve been out in the street looking to rob you”

“Listen to me, pie fucker. You would last a day on the creek.” ❤️

gf asked me to show her my favorite movie tonight. Probably the most important step in the relationship. No goin back now

Rewatched Gladiator for the first time in probably 15 years and it’s still fine but god, we truly just do not make them like Oliver Reed anymore. On the edge of exploding his heart at the bar and he’s blowing everyone off the screen

Still my favorite video of the last however many years. Watch it once a week

Probably the best match I’ve ever seen in person

I’m watching Nutcracker &amp; the Four Realms for no reason and Keira Knightley is giving a truly insane performance. Maybe our greatest living actress if I’m honest

Rewatched The Village last night, sorta solidified itself into M Night’s upper echelon for me but man, the scene where Ivy is searching for Lucius’s hand amidst the chaos of the village trying to find who Noah stabbed fucked me up BAD. Maybe the most moving thing he’s done.

Rewatching Jaws and man, it’s obviously all just the greatest but this moment is really getting me tonight. No one else would stop to put something this lovely in their killer shark movie

Sensitive content

This is my Sideways

Forever a real one

Mira Nair on how Zohran Mamdani is responsible for Kal Penn being cast in The Namesake because he forced her to watch Harold and Kumar

Michael Bay’s latest Instagram story is my favorite movie of 2025

Completely disagree. Few moments have moved me more these past few years than this. Everything Anderson is about is right here and it’s so lovely

This is what it’s like logging in here every day

Rewatched Knock at the Cabin and man, truly don’t think any actor has married their own painful sincerity to that of Shyamalan’s dialogue as well as Dave Bautista. A pair just totally made for one another. Love how Shyamalan blocks his hulking frame in this too. Damn. So so good

Say what you want about The Beach, and you can certainly say a lot, this shit rocks haha

RIP to the eternally great Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Beyond great in so many films, especially in my beloved Showdown in Little Tokyo

Lost my mind here. Nobody translates comic book aesthetics to film like Hideaki Anno. Ang Lee got close with Hulk and everybody yelled him but he was right

Nuclear grade chemistry

I’m watching Nutcracker & the Four Realms for no reason and Keira Knightley is giving a truly insane performance. Maybe our greatest living actress if I’m honest
