I’ve received spam messages in my inbox before, but this is the first time I appear to have received…someone else’s spam. Cc: @emilystjams.bsky.social.

“Dear Emily St. James,

Congratulations on the publication of Woodworking.”

The baseball version of the Affleck meme.

I mean, even if it’s posted in the spirit of feeding the content beast, Variety put this up a month ago.

“The audience is looking for something new”

Jorts, eh?

Google's AI is so helpful. Look at the suggested reply it says I should send for some freelance film pitches! Except all of these details are wrong. Oops. (The Last Starfighter opened in July 1984, Get Shorty opened in October 1995, and Take the Money... opened in August of 1969.)

A suggested reply for an email, including an essay about the "40th anniversary" of The Last Starfighter, the "30th anniversary" of Get Shorty, and the "55th anniversary" of Take the Money...

Suck it, Christopher Nolan!

“I don't understand how movies going straight to streaming is somehow a bad thing. Everything should go straight to streaming.”

I feel like that goose-yelling meme right now, because who “inadvertently trained” audiences by sending Pixar films straight to streaming? Who did that?

“Though Pixar’s sequels, including 2024’s “Inside Out 2,” have electrified the box office, the animation studio has struggled since the pandemic to launch new properties. During COVID, several movies including “Soul,” “Luca” and “Turning Red” were sent directly to Disney+ and executives felt that inadvertently trained audiences to watch Pixar’s films at home.”

The San Diego Zoo is one of my favorite places on Earth, so I know I’m doing today right.

For America’s 250th anniversary, the San Diego History Center is asking people what wish they have for the city. Quite the diverse array of responses!

Four hand-written wishes, such as “more strawberries,” eradicating homelessness, and advocating for affordable housing

Four hand-written wishes, including “more Ms. Rachel toys” and improved public transport

Four hand-written wishes, including an NFL team and an Argentinian visitor saying if America influences Latin American elections, they should vote in ours.

Six hand-written wishes, such as “cleaner oceans” and teleportation

What is the definitive movie about America? Duh.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you.

“Full Daddy Diamond” AND “Bad Daddy Sweet”? In THIS economy?!?

What a baffling way to start an interview, revealing that you just didn’t research something that would be fairly easy to verify.

A NYT interviewer starts by saying Seth Rogen was in Cannes, “which you go to often.” He immediately says it was his first time.

“I actually didn’t know one way or the other. I was just assuming.”

Disclosure Day will be the fourth Steven Spielberg movie to open on the second weekend of June, along with these titles. …no pressure!

I try to stop myself from posting takes that are so aggressively bad that they make me want to break my phone, but every once in a while, something breaks through.
