I'm doing my part, bought a ticket to Snow White in the cinema. This is being propped up as a major piece of evidence Trump successfully killed woke culture. Let’s prove them wrong

My ★★★★★ review of Alien (1979) on #Letterboxd https://boxd.it/9aFqM5
boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of Alien (1979)Ripley & co take up the necessary arms against a bunch of slimy monsters on a far away planet, and how (!) .. does it get any creapier than this? (no, Gremlins does not count) S(ub)limy! An astronomical huge thank you to my brother, who was the movie fan/freak I turned out to become as well. I learned from him, great movies are not just about the Academy Awards, neither just about the Hollywood glam, or even the French nouvelle vague. Love for movies can be everywhere, and for any reason. As long as they linger on after watching them. Unfortunately,
"Snow White," starring Rachel Zegler, will be released this Friday. It's become an internet punchbag for conservatives, largely because of comments that Zegler has made over the past couple of years. First, she annoyed die-hard fans by referring to the 1937 movie as "dated" and the prince as "a guy who literally stalks" her character. Then, she drew criticism for her support of Palestine, while her co-star Gal Gadot attracted ire for her support of Israel. And finally, she posted on Instagram after the U.S. election to say she hoped Trump and his voters "may never know peace." Disney has responded by pulling back on some of its promotion for the movie — limited press at the L.A. premiere and no U.K. launch at all. So how will detractors and the House of Mouse feel at the news that the movie is... pretty good. Here's @THR's roundup of early critic responses. “Rachel Zegler is an absolute star," writes Matt DeGroot of Crooked Media.

I watched Bullet Train (2022) yesterday and it was great. I don't know why it only has a 53% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was definitely a lot of chaotic fun.

'MURDERBOT' (2023) "When a sentient female robot goes on a berserk killing spree, a group of young people fight for their lives while the mad scientists who created her try to stop the slaughter."
I think next year I'm going to do an all Jim Wynorski films year for the #MBMC

I saw Rocky IV in the cinema (the one where he fights Russian Dolph Lundgren).
WTF was I thinking?
Conan O'Brien is coming back next year as host of the Oscars, which will be held on March 15 2026. The 2025 ceremony, held at the beginning of this month, had the highest viewership in five years. “The only reason I’m hosting the Oscars next year is that I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech.” O'Brien said in a statement, referring to Brody's best actor acceptance speech for "The Brutalist," which was the longest in Oscars history. Here's more from @Variety.

I haven't seen a lot of Aaron Taylor-Johnson -- I know him best as Tangerine in Bullet Train -- but I concur:
