one last one. to get a better espresso than this, you have to spend about a thousand dollars.

now reading.

great minds, etc. www.filmcomment.com/article/pen-...

not disputing the main points at all, but I think this overstates it a bit. by any reasonable standard, hathaway's is the only face here.

I think we need to up the ante to movie titles that are *two* full sentences. here's one:

it's a simple sentence but it's a sentence.

if it 2046 I need these two to show up.

this from @davekarpf.bsky.social is the most compelling pithy summation of the era we live in. davekarpf.beehiiv.com/p/a-story-of...

I get that everyone is going with minivans and proto-SUV's but to me the 90s were very much the sedan are. maybe the last one. so I'd go with this:

this letterboxd review is an all-timer.

still think this is the gold standard but coppola and a few others (melville's '66-'70 run is a personal favorite) come close.

this is a bizarre thing to happen on a non-algorithmic feed.

who is the audience for this post supposed to be? does he really think that lefty bluesky posters lost a house race in tennessee? I mean he's dumb but he's not that dumb.

this entire piece by @rtraister.bsky.social is excellent but the end is esp. is something I've often thought. nymag.com/intelligence...
