Reading this article about “Movies that Flopped at the (US) Box Office but are still worth your time”, I get the feeling that while Hollywood is great at making movies, the audiences are much better and more receptive in Europe.
Just my 2cts.
Top trends — bonsoir Twitter
I dunno if this one is so bold to Orioles fans and anyone who’s been paying attention these past 18 months but…
“4. The Baltimore Orioles will make the playoffs”
.@FallOutBoy’s #FolieADeux is my favorite album of theirs so this new #SoMuchForStardust is a great discovery!
Just came out from watching #JohnWickChapter4
We go to the movies to see the inexplicable and the incredible. Such sublime moments require no justification beyond the pleasure they provide to viewers. And if you like action movies, John Wick: Chapter 4 will give you a lot of pleasure — literally, as roughly half of this three hour fever dream of a movie is fight scenes of various kinds.
I haven’t seen enough people talk about how great of a show Shrinking is!

I’m not a fan of modern fandom. This isn’t only because I’ve been swarmed on Twitter by angry devotees of Marvel and DC and (more recently) “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” It’s more that the behavior of these social media hordes represents an anti-democratic, anti-intellectual mind-set that is harmful to the cause of art and antithetical to the spirit of movies. Fan culture is rooted in conformity, obedience, group identity and mob behavior, and its rise mirrors and models the spread of intolerant, authoritarian, aggressive tendencies in our politics and our communal life.
Lovely lazy Sunday

I swear John Mayer has looked 35 for the past 12 years!
Great little NPR Tiny Desk session with Bono and The Edge (!!)
But why does The Edge look like EVERY GUITAR TEACHER EVER?! 😂 🎸

Like the early evening sky I captured a few days ago :)
If wine [in America] has an “old people problem” it’s simply because old people still buy the industry’s starter wines.
