Pride, folks, pride! Adam, Angela and I team up to pick the 11 best gay movies of the '90s, ranked. It's a measure of the quality we had to choose from that I could give you a different and very credible 11 (and I'll do that here in a few days). Meanwhile, enjoy this long, fun, wild conversation.

Oh. Oh my God.
Just reiterating that Trump suing the IRS in order to extract a deal essentially protecting him and his family from ever having to pay taxes again is the kind of thing that should send many people to prison. People swing from lampposts for that kind of corruption. It cannot be allowed to stand.
Orrrrrr....maybe we just take joy in other things. Listen, nobody's stopping you from having the great time you clearly hope to have, so go to it!
Maybe it'll be a huge hit and I'll eat my words (I've been wrong a lot!), but if the Sunday box office stories contain phrases like "surprising underperformance," it will be worth asking a couple of questions: Who exactly was this for, and what was supposed to make them leave their houses to see it?
When I talk about big-studio dead-end thinking, this is what I mean: Masters of the Universe trades entirely on presumed nostalgia for a bit of 1980s debris that has been monetized so relentlessly over decades that nobody's had the chance to miss it. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
Agree 100%. I think one difference, though, is that I'm not sure that Kane Parsons would even be interested in a visit to the Criterion Closet. I hope he would. I want to get him interested!
I'm not posting this in some fit of "Oh god, if this is the future of filmmaking we're all doomed" esthetic despair. It's more enthrallment. I'm looking at someone who does the thing I've spent my life writing about and loving, but shares no language about it with me. It's fearful and humbling.
He doesn't know movies and doesn't care about them much. He gazes at rolling green fields--real ones--and thinks they look like a screen saver, but also knows they're there bc some rich guy wants them to be, and that data centers are in the near distance. His allegiances: YouTube, games, Mr. Robot.>
This profile of Backrooms director Kane Parsons, 20, by @kylebuchanan.bsky.social is fascinating. In some ways it's the story of so many filmmaking prodigies (Scorsese)--an indoor kid w/ a physical issue & tech mastery. But his references and politics are pure 2026. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/m...
Happy Pride month to all of us. Maybe we can all be a little louder than usual this June--and a little kinder to one another.
It takes strength to look the person who could fire you in the eye and tell them that both they and their boss are giant pieces of trash. You usually don't win, but you definitely leave a mark, and you write your place in history. That's what Scott Pelley did today.
Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down!
"You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock."

Those were my faves to plan and work on--thank you!
There has never in the 75-year history of network news been someone who has done a worse job than Bari Weiss at CBS News. It's one thing to have no integrity, ability, or self-awareness; to add reprehensible politics and a skill for finding like-minded minions is breathtaking.
But it's a lead, don't you think?
Not all stories are summarizable in a headline or a blurb--neither of which writers control. All of us who do this are used to our work getting trashed unread, or dismissed, or mischaracterized. Forgive me when I say that to stay sane, we have to care only about those who bother to read what we do.
Just going to reiterate that this story is sharp, thoughtful, appropriately funny and appropriately disdainful-alarmed-disgusted. A number of people here seem to need a depiction-is-not-endorsement refresher course.
Just saw The Christophers tonight and I loved it--Soderbergh working in the service of an exceptionally sharp, witty, original, adult screenplay by Ed Solomon and performances by Ian McKellen (spectacular!) and Michaela Coel that, like the script, deserve to be remembered at year's end. Do not miss.
And fucking lazy.
Sincere question for you: Do you have any faith at all that this will be the last set of "Uh-oh" headlines about this guy between now and November?
