We moved our political section at Pajiba to Substack. There were reasons. It's a little nerve-wracking because we've been doing virtually the same thing for nearly 20 years. These are the details (It doesn't really have anything to do with George W. Bush):

Billy Crudup hasn’t been this crazed since screaming, “I am a Golden God!” on a pool house roof in 1973! Every time Crudup stepped into an elevator, I was reminded of Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky screaming for “TECH SUPPORT” while The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations” plays. www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/t...

I also reviewed the Pet Sematary prequel. The algorithm has flattened out movies so much that, while there are fewer great movies, there are also fewer abysmal ones. It felt like a real novelty to watch a movie this bad! www.pajiba.com/film_reviews...

Many years ago, before he'd broken out, I saw John Mayer in a small club in Boston, and I remember him saying, "Tell all your friends about me. If I become famous, I promise not to become a douchebag." Anyway, here's my review of 'Flora and Son,'' which is cute.

From @mattgoldberg.bsky.social: "MovieTok, as described in Ugwu’s article, is fundamentally dishonest—because so many of these earnest-seeming reviews are, in reality, tiny bits of marketing paid for by the studios themselves."

I wrote this, and I stick by it as it pertains to the MovieTok people being interviewed by the Times. I'm sure that not everyone accepts money in exchange for promotion and that some are good at their jobs, but the MovieTok system itself is obviously corrupt.
