Our theater was blessed with one really funny awesome guy who took it upon himself to start yelling jokes out during the movie like it was Rocky Horror. He was so funny and I hope his first of many hour long specials on Netflix includes some of the zingers he cooked up for us. Kind of a hero, imo.

He enhanced my enjoyment of the movie so much that I started plugging my ears like waiting for a jump scare in a horror movie. Ultimately I left at intermission because he made my experience so amazing that I realized I didn't even need to see the 2nd half, what more could I want than a drunk white guy shouting shit like "BOOKS!" at the end of a scene. God bless that man, where ever he is.

Bring Her Back is the title of this film but it's also what we're gonna do in 2028!! Hillary, get ready! Your time has come! #BRINGHERBACK

You Will Believe A Man Is Gay

The Entity doesn't want you to Venmo $5 to @kevintporter. The only way to beat it is to do the exact opposite of what it wants you to do!

Hey Letterboxd can you add a feature where if someone tries to leave a mean comment on one of my awesome posts their computer screen locks up and shows Wayne Knight wagging his little fingie going "ah ah ah"

I was on a run the other day listening to The Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga. Gaga wrote the song about the experience of witnessing her grandfather's last moments on his deathbed. She wanted to capture what it must've felt like for her grandmother to watch her husband away after 60 years of life together, and the awe of that moment. She also said it was kinda about Rocky bc that's one of her favorite movies?

For the saxophone solo in the bridge, she rang up Clarence Clemons to perform it. She needed something brash and muscular, straight from E Street, the music she grew up on. He flew to New York the same day and cranked it out. It ended up being the last song Clarence recorded and the last song he performed live before ing away later that year. The song served as a tribute to Gaga’s family as much as her one-time collaborator.

In his weird podcast with Obama, Bruce Springsteen talked about his relationship with Clarence. There was a time when The E Street Band was half white and half black, and the implications of an integrated band playing rock music in 1970s weren't insignificant.

“I always felt our audience looked at us and saw the America they wanted to see and believe in. This became the biggest story I ever told. I have never written a song that told a bigger story than Clarence and I standing next to each other on any of the 1001 nights that we played.”

During the run listening to Edge of Glory, I realized (decided) that Ethan Hunt and Luther are the action movie equivalent of Bruce and Clarence; a superhuman little freak and the big man he remained loyal to until the end. On his last tour with Bruce in 2009, Clarence could barely walk at all. Instead of waiting for him to at the lead mic, Bruce would run all the way over to Clarence’s side of the stage to play and pose with him. When I saw him play his Jungleland solo on that tour, Clarence was seated. It would appear Rhames also struggles with mobility. All the scenes he shot in both Dead Reckoning and Final Reckoning were confined to a soundstage in London, mostly sitting. But he had to be there. The only other character in every Mission movie besides Ethan was Luther.

One of my favorite themes that emerged in the latter half of the Mission franchise is protecting your friends. One of my favorite scenes in the whole franchise is when Luther tearfully explains to Ilsa in Fallout that the reason they’re in the middle of a world-ending catastrophe is because Ethan wouldn’t let him die.

I struggle to connect with the overwhelming messianic “just let me fulfill my destiny of saving everyone because only I can do it and I know what I'm doing” undertones of Ethan a la Final Reckoning, but I think most would connect to the notion of rather seeing the world burn than your loved ones hurt.

In his eulogy for Clarence, Bruce said: ”Clarence could be fragile but he also emanated power and safety, and in some funny way we became each other's protectors”

Across 8 Mission Impossible movies, only 3 characters ever say “I love you”. In Mission Impossible III Ethan and Julia say it to each other quickly in the midst of a shootout. The third and final time is Luther’s message to Ethan at the end of this movie.

We all share the same fate -- the same future. The sum of our infinite choices. One such future is built on kindness, trust, and mutual understanding, should we choose to accept it. Driving without question towards a light we cannot see. Not just for those we hold close, but for those we'll never meet. I hope you know I'll always love you, brother. And I will see you again, though I hope it's not too soon.

Gene Hackman's first line in this movie is him saying the n word. Well, not exactly saying it, but SINGING it! 🎶🎤

It used to be that movie stars would say the n word in movies. s McDormand, also in this movie, well she said the n word in 3 Billboards a few times I think. And you know what? They gave her an Oscar for it. Come to think of it...Hackman said it as Popeye Doyle in The French Connection, and you know what? They gave HIM an Oscar for it. Lotta people just saying the n word and winning their Oscars. Was McDormand the last white person to win an Oscar for sayin slurs? And I mean that both ways, was she the most recent one and was she the FINAL one? And how many ppl have won Oscars for movies in which they played racists who said that stuff? Could be an interesting infographic.

Which is to say...Timothee Chalamet and Florence Pugh will probably never say the n word in a movie. Contemporary stardom is so different y'all. You can't go on the chicken eating shows and talk with an mid-interviewer about how much prep went into embodying a racist. That sort of expression of evil is exclusively for the character actors and "that guy"s. Scoot McNairy, now that guy can play characters that say ANYTHING for the rest of his career. But not you, Austin Butler!!

A very watchable movie that made me love the racially progressive FBI! 😍

scott glenn be like is somebody gonna match my keep.

Baby Ethan Hunt + Diane Chambers kinda make sense together idk. Seeing baby faced Cruise dressed like a Mormon playing unconfident is like watching little Adolph painting.

Me and my fellow white devils in the crowd were loving every minute of this flick!

Cold open sequence features a huge win for those of us fighting on the frontlines in The War Against Children.

Maybe given the opera, Cruise's hand-tied pole shimmy, the Kraemer score, Ilsa’s "come away with me", the series pivot to friendship, the fuckass cold open...maybe this is thee one.

Baldwin's little whispered speech to the Prime Minister concluding with "Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny and he has made you his mission" will have me laughing, screaming, shooting guns in the air for the rest of my gd life.

If I starred in this movie half the scenes would be me sloppily playing the succession theme while harvey keitel tenderly fingers my little butthole

[politely chuckles]

I know my boys on Sesame Street go crazy for this one

That scene where she's on the train and re having sex with the guy and starts kinda laughing and crying at the same time was so awesome. She looks like me when I all my letterboxd posts and how much joy they've brought to my community.

All the conflict of the movie is that the student girls wanna go fast and the coach wants them to go slow, and THEN go fast later, but she doesn't want to tell them her Slow Then Fast plan. Kinda genius art of the deal shit.

At one point Clint Eastwood's like "get The Mule" and I'm like oh my god his miiiind.

Polycule goals!

[furiously googling to see what's okay to say about the autistic children's hacker academy]

Ultimately I do wish there was more ing but that neurodivergent galunk line-dancing in his hokas was so awesome.

Been there!

Twirling my hair, kicking my feet every time Julia Louis-Dreyfus said something mean.

i know we all love phillip seymour hoffman counting but them jj action scenes are mission unwatchable

Someone show this to RFK!

The girls paused this in the middle to workshop my hair based on Jackson's mane, sorta the friend group equiv of running a finger down Ally's nose.

Diane Skeetin'!

Pretty spot on

Me and the boys do this every time we go to chili’s

Confusing to watch a Paul Schrader movie without a scene of a weird guy journaling by himself in a small room

The story of an annoying guy obsessed with physical media in which Bruce Springsteen plays God? Yeah, I'm thinkin I liked this movie!

Watched on Sunday April 20, 2025.

Folks are gonna talk about what a craft achievement this is, or how it's a perfect intersection of Coogler's vision with his authentic crowd-pleasing instincts, or how original storytelling matters. But more than that....

This movie kicks off The Summer of Eatin' Puss! This is our time, let's gooooo!!!!!

So...I thought this was gonna be one of those awesome disney prequel origin stories like Mufasa, so I was p disappointed when it was just a bunch of weird french stuff.

Tim Robinson...well let's just say he gets a little UNHINGED in this one.

I'm watching this movie and "the bad guy" is sending a bunch of hilarious memes to a girl and I'm supposed to be rooting against him? Um ok Hollywood go off I guess.

When I do this to Bruce Springsteen I'm gonna be way chiller about it.

Kris Kristofferson is so cool holy shit

[guy who only listens to bruce springsteen voice] hmm getting a lot of springsteen vibes from this movie.

Best part was every few mins looking at the row behind me at a sweet friend wearing this face the whole movie: 😐

More huge cartoon titties in this than I was expecting, but still enjoyed the film.

I love media made in the first few years after 9/11 because there'll be lines like "You know man...ever since the towers fell down, I think racism is good!"

Most movies would benefit from one of the characters saying "Spring break foreverrrrrrr" over and over again in voiceover. Think about how awesome Mrs Harris Goes To Paris would be if Lesley Manville kept whispering "spring break foreverrrrr"

What are some other movies you think should get the Spring Breakers Treatment? Sound off in the comments!

I know it's called Black Bag but let's talk about Black Turtleneck! As soon as Fassbender put that thing on people in the theater started SCREAMING, an awesome Steve Jobs easter egg for the fans!

And , this is just a taste. To watch the whole thing you gotta sign up for Apple TV+ where you can stream the Russo Brothers classic!

Did you know donald trump is a bad guy and actually quite a buffoon when you think about it

Look how they massacred my boy (boy is Mrs. Brown)

The best part was Olivia Colman and Paddington's faces, they hold the screen equally phenomenally well in silent reaction shots. Bear claws crossed if they do another one it's the return of the King.
