#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ Watched some good shit this week. - BEVERLY HILLS COP is a reminder of how charming Eddie Murphy used to be - THE ODYSSEY is quite good, but didn’t hit me emotionally enough to be great - SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD is top tier sad spy shit

Letterboxd user TDMollusk’s recent activity. The last four films are A BETTER TOMORROW II, BEVERLY HILLS COP, THE ODYSSEY, and THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - Chow Yun-Fat looked cool as hell in the opening act of A BETTER TOMORROW, but the melodrama didn’t click for me. - M:I-2 ‘s greatest legacy was breaking from the M:I formula, thus freeing the rest of the series from being anything remotely realistic

Letterboxd user TDMollusk’s recent activity. The last four films watched are DEADLINE AT DAWN, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2, TOY STORY 5, and A BETTER TOMORROW.

I laughed when I saw the drawing Killer in the Code says is a “smoking gun.” I was expecting something garish and disturbing. Instead, it was…this, which doesn’t look at all like the Black Dahlia and I don’t think those marks are wounds.

Framed drawing by Marty Merrill, dated 1992. The image is of an undressed woman from the waist up. Her light hair covers half of her face and goes down to her chest. There are some contour marks on her chest that maybe could be wounds? “ELIZABETH” is written below the drawing.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #filmsky 📽️ Two very different animated movies and two very different big-budget movies.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN is still so good - LE CERCLE ROUGE has Alain Delon being just the coolest motherfucker that ever lived - THE MUMMY (1959) is pro-killing colonizers, so this is almost a hero-Mummy, I guess?

It’s worth noting that this is not the proposed New College of FL statue. That one had Charlie Kirk sitting at a table with a hand outstretched, palm up. That one, people plan to put shit in the palm. This one is sitting on a bench, and people want to piss on it. Totally different.

From the 07/20/26 Guardian article “New York sculptor spent $100,000 to make a Charlie Kirk statue no one wants to buy”

Sergio Furnari, originally from Italy, had hoped the statue of the deceased far-right activist, which he intends to display in Times Square, would raise "millions" of dollars.

Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture.

From the 07/20/26 Guardian article “New York sculptor spent $100,000 to make a Charlie Kirk statue no one wants to buy”

In desperation, Furnari set up an online fundraising campaign, hoping to raise an initial $150,000, but potentially millions of dollars, which he said would allow him to take the statue on tour. As of Thursday, he had raised $1,400.

From the 07/20/26 Guardian article “New York sculptor spent $100,000 to make a Charlie Kirk statue no one wants to buy”

Until then, Furnari is left with a 6ft 4in statue of a renowned racist, which he has spent $100,000 making, and which no one wants to buy. Maybe it is cursed after all.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003). Absolutely brutal in its dumbness and ineptitude. And I had recently watched and loved the original, so that was an additional blow. Any time I see a horror movie touting any connection to this film (from the people who brought you…), it’s a hard no from me.

Poster for THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2003). The tagline is just “Inspired by a true story.” Which is a BIG stretch. It’s based on a stalled legacy movie franchise that is based on some reporting on a true story. I guess I can see why they went with what they did.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - WHEELS ON MEALS is unforgettable thanks to the amazing castle battle & the Chan/Urquidez fight - DEAD OR ALIVE is unforgettable because the first and last scenes are fucking nuts - COOL HAND LUKE is unforgettable because Newman is so damn charming

That’s one hell of a sound effect

Screenshot from ACTION COMICS #673.

The panel focuses on a man’s arm, with the hand clenched in a fist. The man is wearing pants but no shirt; the panel has cropped out the man’s face and almost all of his body beyond the arm. There is some armadillo-looking armor covering his hairy chest and torso.

Thought balloons read, “Ah…yes…now I’m whole again” while the sound effects in the scene are FAP FAP FAP FAP.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ Guess which two movies I watched on my own, without my family?

The Bulls are uncomfortably close to the relegation/draft-penalty tier according to these projections. If Billy Donovan was still the coach, I’d say that they would win +4 over the projection, but this feels pretty accurate right now.

2026-27 NBA projected final standings, per winprojectionmodel.com. The Chicago Bulls have 26 wins, tied with the Bucks & Mavs, ahead of the Nets, Wizards, and Kings.

#LetterboxdFriday #filmsky 📽️ #LastFourWatched I talked to a woman at a bar this week, and she said she hated BEST IN SHOW because she was a dog breeder; she also said that the film “wasn’t wrong.” Amazing stuff, like when Aerosmith hated SPINAL TAP because they thought it was directly mocking them

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ A much better viewing week! - FLETCH is the only movie Chevy Chase improves - AGUIRRE had me rooting for Death like a Final Destination sequel - APOCALYPSE NOW theatrical cut is SO MUCH TIGHTER than REDUX. Happy to finally see this cut.

Oof. It hurts how much improvement it would take for Patrick Williams to be worth his contract

Steph Noh’s NBA salary calculator. Based on his projected Games Played and Minutes Per Game, the Chicago Bulls’ Patrick Williams only needs to outplay his DPM projection by 3.7 to become a quality starting player worth his full salary.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - TO BE OR NOT TO BE is technically impressive and the script is ballsy, but I thought most of the jokes were obvious. Maybe I just don’t like Jack Benny? - FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT might not be S-tier Hitchcock, but it’s not far off

7.0 PPG and they somehow won 6 games???

Screenshot from 82-0.com, focusing on the total team stats from the selected team. This team averages 7.0 PPG, and somehow wins 6 games?

TDmollusk@tdmollusk· Jun 4

Hmm…I don’t think 82-0.com is designed to build a 0-82 team.

Screenshot from 82-0.com, the game where you try to build an undefeated NBA team. This team is filled with of absolute NBA failures, and their record is 6-76, which would be the worst season record of all time.

TDmollusk@tdmollusk· Jun 4

This team would spit fucking bullets after every loss

Screenshot from 82-0.com. This team is D. stoudamire, J. Butler, K. Garnett, C. Webber, & V. Wembanyama. We went 72-10, tied for 2nd best record ever

TDmollusk@tdmollusk· Jun 4

Probably should have ahifted players down a position, rathwr than moving MJ & JJJ up one

Screenshot from a 82-0.com attempt to randomly draft an NBA team that would go 82-0. A team of S. Marbury, M. Ritchmond, M. Jordan, T. Duncan, & J. Jackson Jr goes 63-19

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky📽️ - the framing device in PRINCESS BRIDE is inspired. Such an improvement over the novel’s framing device. Goldman was truly one of the greats at adapting his own work. - GOAT is a mess that wasn’t sure what lesson to teach, so it tries them all a little

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - EEPHUS is the sports movie that cares least about how good its players are - SHEEP DETECTIVES was cute! It got a lot out of a silly premise - PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN is bizarre. A tale of vengeance where becoming a victim is victory?

I briefly misread this as meaning Tugboat is 6’ and 1,250lbs. Stout boy!

Patrick Bailey is gone, traded to the Cleveland Guardians for a competitive-balance pick (29th overall) in the 2026 MLB Draft and Matt Wilkinson, a 6-foot-1, 250-pound left-handed Canadian nicknamed "Tugboat." It reads like…

#Filmsky 📽️ #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday - I was really expecting HAMNET to wreck my shit, but instead it was just…pretty good? The play at the end hit me so much harder than any of the grief scenes - IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT I was meh on the rest, but damn the last scene is truly excellent.

I have to imagine that the MIN and CLE GMs would want to stick around those situations, unless the Bulls choose to overpay. Of the other named candidates, Austin Brown seems most likely to me — if only because the Reinsdorfs have already scouted him and they love lazy choices.

The Athletic confirmed Monday that the Bulls received permission to interview six candidates for its next lead executive role. This list includes Detroit Pistons senior vice president Dennis Lindsey, Minnesota Timberwolves general manager Matt Lloyd (a former Bulls front-office executive, Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Mike Gansey, Atlanta Hawks senior vice president Bryson Graham, San Antonio Spurs assistant general manager Dave Telep and Chicago-area native Austin Brown, the co-head of CAA's basketball operations, who was a candidate for the GM job under Karnišovas in 2020.

The implication here, of course, is that the Reinsdorfs did not feel confident in the AKME front office, which makes the secret extension given to the pair even funnier in retrospect. The Reinsdorfs expect loyalty and butts in seats; competence on the court is far down the list.

It's the kind of clean slate that could signal a pivot in direction, one inviting a possible rebuild - this time, with a front office the Reinsdorfs might feel more confident in.

If noir is up your alley, GUN CRAZY is an overlooked gem. It definitely starts like a B-movie, but has one of the beat femme fatales ever to do it.

Warner Brothers Archive Collection bluray cover for GUN CRAZY (1950).

There’s some stuff going on in the background, but the main image is a blonde woman in a long dress with a slit up the side looking over her shoulder while holding two smoking pistols

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - MATERIALISTS is very much an experiment in how long you can stand watching incredibly obnoxious characters - ELIO was definitely not Pixar’s best, but the themes hit home in the end - MICKEY 17 should not feel relevant to my actual life, but it does
