I don't usually post a #LastFourWatched if I didn't watch at least 4 movies in a week but this one feels like an accomplishment because I spent like 3 evenings working my way through BEN-HUR (1959, dir. William Wyler) #LastFourFriday #LetterboxdFriday Then I watched a bunch of "Reacher"

A screenshot of my last four films watched and logged on letterboxd.
BEN-HUR (1959, dir. William Wyler) 3.5 stars
MEAN STREETS (1973, dir. Martin Scorsese) 4 stars
NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE (2026, dir. Matt Johnson) 5 stars
THE END OF THE TOUR (2015, dir. James Ponsoldt) 3.5 stars

I'm so glad to see Google is killing their perfectly usable Assistant chatbot in favor of Gemini which still does shit like this, YEARS after rollout.

A screenshot of the result of my asking Gemini to set a timer for four minutes, something I used to ask the assistant to do several times daily, in which it replied that it can't and then directed me on how to do so with my app, or by using Google Assistant, a feature Google is discontinuing.

Say what you will about AIPAC, you cannot claim they do not get what they fucking pay for.

An tweet from Haley Stevens, @HaleyForMI, a Michigan Democrat running for the Senate seat there, whose campaign is propped up by $30M in donations from AIPAC. It reads:
"Abdul, we were both on the ballot in 2018. I was capable of winning my competitive primary and general election. You lost.

You lost by over twenty points to Gretchen Whitmer and you will lose to Mike Rogers by talking like this.

Everyone in America understands you want to blame all of your problems on Jewish Americans.

But buddy, let me be very clear, I will lower the costs of groceries, ban stock trading for elected officials, stop Trump's abuses of power, and protect Michigan manufacturing.

And you'll just be a celebrity whining and writing books to get even richer. You're part of the complainer class, looking for their next book or podcast deal.

Bro, I just want to work for Michigan."

Post two movies from one director to show their range I just learned this one and I love it.

I'm going to block him and forget about this in a minute or two, but first this is the funniest and dumbest skeet I've ever sent (and also all true, just, utterly irrelevant and stupid).

Adam Heff@geekchicohio· Jul 8

I should've blocked everybody associated with this thread the second I skeeted my first, mostly unserious, reply.

A screenshot of a skeet in which @cursedthing.bsky.social, who was an integral domino in the cursed thread that led to my being called ableist for understanding how television ratings work, cops to the thing they'd previously denied doing,
"Oh same with the Pitt. I'll gladly watch will to well for that one."

Adam Heff@geekchicohio· Jul 8

This site has the juice.

A screenshot of a series of skeets after the end of javier grillo-marxuach's thread about the binge model of television releases

@okbjgm.bsky.social:
and that's fine if it hadn't been adopted as the only way for the majority of shows to come out over the balance of a decade.

@cursedthing.bsky.social:
I cannot, and will not watch a show that is not bingeable. My brain can't do it. I won't start the show until it's all dropped.

That doesn't mean they all have to drop at once.

But ratings need to take into account that there are still a lot of us who won't pick it up until it's all dropped.

@pjrodriguez.bsky.social:
I'm resisting judging this, but am having a very difficult time of it.

@geekchicohio.bsky.social:
This kind of behavior should be judged!

@cferdinandi.bsky.social:
Sounds like you're both neurotypical and don't struggle to remember important plot details week-to-week.

Check your ableism.

If you follow me on insta you saw me post this like a week ago and, yes, I'm talking my sweet time with it but that's because it's so fucking good. HERE WHERE WE LIVE IS OUR COUNTRY: THE STORY OF THE JEWISH BUND by @mollycrabapple.bsky.social Go pick it up! You will not regret it!

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS
ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE

Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!

Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

I'm about as anti-AI as they come, but, respectfully what the fuck are we doing here.

A screenshot of a skeet with the author's handle redacted. It reads:

AI shills talk about it the same way rapists talk about rape:

"It's inevitable."
"Just let it happen."
"Stop fighting back."
"We don't care if you don't want it."
"We'll take it against your will."
"Why are you fighting back?"
"How dare you fight back?"

Once you see that, you can't unsee it.

CONTACT (1997, dir. Robert Zemeckis)

An arch of lights stands behind the white house for Trump's stupid UFC match. It resembles, ever so slightly, the machine from Contact. Which was also not located in DC. I really can't justify this joke.

Adam Heff@geekchicohio· May 23

I can't be first to this.

I don't always #LetterboxdFriday but it's an...erm...especially ecclectic #LastFourWatched for me this week.

My last four watches on Letterboxd:
LEAVING NEVERLAND (2019, dir. Dan Reed) - Four Stars
Green Card (1990, dir. Green Card) - Four Stars
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983, dir. Richard Marquand) - Five Stars
Casablanca (1942, dir. Michael Curtiz) - Five stars

Aside from the unfathomably great writing and lighting in a bottle cast, the thing that makes Cheers feel like magic today is the long scenes. There were fewer ad breaks and so longer acts and watching it today it plays like theater. On streaming there's nothing to prevent shows from doing this!

Daniel Kibblesmith

My real theory on this is that The Pitt is the most normal ass show on television in YEARS and our immune systems don’t know how to handle broadcast style 22 episode medical dramas anymore. A new three camera sitcom half as good as Cheers would put these people in the hospital for real.

Adam Heff@geekchicohio· Apr 24

It's #LetterboxdFriday and I saw a couple real good ones since last time.

I haven't logged tonight's watch yet, so here's my current #LetterboxdFriday for posterity. I watched Little Amélie or the Character of Rain with my kid and that's really the way to watch that one. Realizing I forgot to check "I've watched this before" on ESB, but, I've watched that before.
