"I don't expect you to be as depressed as I am, but I don't think your happiness is quite appropriate."

You’ve already seen the meme of Jessica Chastain creepily contorted under a kitchen table from the ‘Other Mommy’ trailers earlier this year. Now, the movie itself is here, and … that’s pretty much the only decent scare in the movie.

When locals learned of AMC Kips Bay’s closure, they were outraged by the encroachment of yet another medical office — and called on their elected officials to save the theater. “They’re going to keep creeping into Kips Bay, and it’s going to be just a boring place to live,” says Jack Greenberg.

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

Maya Annik Bedward’s elegant and politically potent documentary, ‘Black Zombie,’ recontextualizes one of modern horror’s most frequently used monsters.

"We've got Other Mommy right where we want her" is an actual line in the movie OTHER MOMMY. www.vulture.com/article/othe...

That's THE WAY BACK, and he is *great* in it. My son and I watched that like five times during the pandemic.

Ben Affleck finally seeing HIGH AND LOW:

@bilgeebiri.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:14 PM

Apparently Ben Affleck says he's never even seen Kurosawa's HIGH AND LOW, which somehow makes the fact that he remade it even worse. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

@bilgeebiri.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 1:27 AM

It’s an unacknowledged remake. No credit to the original story. Which somehow makes it all that much more stupid.

@bilgeebiri.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 11:05 PM

Ben Affleck, an actor/director I like, has a new film out on Netflix. ANIMALS is yet another remake of Kurosawa’s HIGH & LOW, and it is dreadful. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

Here's a gift link to my review of MUSK, which opens in theaters today. The movie is four hours long, but the nightmares it gives you will last a lifetime. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

You’ll want to see NAZA when it opens Friday at AFI Silver. You may need to see it.

WB-Discovery was carrying over $40 billion in debt. Now Skydance-Paramount-WB is carrying *$80 billion* in debt, and layoffs are already being promised. It was a stupid deal and everyone knows it, and a total wipeout is not outside the real of possibility.

You’ll probably be disappointed if you think of Aaron Sorkin’s ‘The Social Reckoning’ as a sequel to David Fincher’s ‘The Social Network.’ In truth, it’s a more modest picture, but also a quite entertaining take-down of Facebook in recent years.

@bilgeebiri.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 2:28 PM

Sue me, I kind of liked THE SOCIAL RECKONING, which is like pure uncut Aaron Sorkin straight to the vein. (Your mileage may vary.) Gift link to my review: www.vulture.com/article/revi...

Tom McCarthy’s A STATEMENT recreates a 1980 conference about climate change with warmth, humor, and gentle precision. It’s filled with great performances. It’s really entertaining. And by the end you’ll feel uncontainable, harrowing despair. My review: www.vulture.com/article/the-...

NEW YORK: Come to the Atlantic Ave. Barnes & Noble tomorrow to see me talk to Matt about his excellent (and hilarious) new book about American comedy in the 2000s.

One of Turkey's great chroniclers of the Cold War, the novelist Sevgi Soysal was among the thousands of leftists arrested after the 1971 coup. Her incredible prison diaries are now being published in English for the first time.
