As a big fan of shit like Fulci shooting Sarajevo for Boston in AENIGMA, this is actually a selling point.

Can’t believe I forgot that the 2005 Oscars opening montage ended with Charlie Chaplin playing hacky sack with Shrek as “Lose Yourself” plays

BARRY is basically a perfect show and I want it to go on forever. But it would be sad to see it spin out so I applaud Hader for knowing when to wrap it up.

Recently read King’s “Billy Summers” and now, halfway through “11/22/63” I have accepted that I am basically reading the same book again.

Tried to watch something on Netflix earlier and it crashed and crashed. Guess that’s the Chris Rock effect.

The cut in ROAD HOUSE from "I thought you'd be bigger" to a monster truck: good gag!

Timing a kill to the bell in the '22 SCREAM is an obvious but nice touch. I don't care how it happens but they gotta get the song in VI, too.

I watched all five SCREAM movies this week and what haunts me the most is someone using a Sidekick at the beginning of 4.

"The Pink Room" is one of my favorite pieces of music, and this is a full breakdown of the writing and recording? I'm floored.

This is a gift of wonderful Lynch ephemera that has maybe flown under the radar because Lynch's name is misspelled in the YouTube title(?!)

Oh my god, I've never heard any of this: David Lynch and Steve Hodges, drummer on the amazing FWWM track "The Pink Room," talking about that movie, RONNIE ROCKET, and even UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD by Wim Wenders. youtube.com/watch?v=ya9Goz

Replying to @ScottWamplerRIP
I'm dying to someday hear the music Lynch wrote with the "Pink Room" band members for his never-made RONNIE ROCKET project.

We talk about the ROCKY and CREED movies at length this week. Includes a favorite story: of how Rocky's museum steps sequence exists mainly because of early Steadicam test footage.

Lot of terrible stuff this week but I also got to watch my marshmallow-loving kid absolutely light up as he ate a Peep for the first time. So there is balance.

Florida is setting a record for most bills proposed that blatantly violate the First Amendment. And even by Florida standards, this proposed law is egregiously unconstitutional and offensive.
Quote Tweet
Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.
Normal stuff!

Obviously I know the bad backstage changes here but for a while there were still people I knew and liked working at AVC. So I continued to kinda follow. Now the total irrelevance just makes me sad.

You know how sometimes it's just one tweet that hammers home how far an outlet has veered from whatever you used to like about it?

It's always cute how Gmail's search function is like a drunk old librarian that no one has the heart to let go.
"I see you want 'movie screening...' here's one from 2013, nothing since then. One time you did mention 'window screens,' maybe that works?"

In 90 minutes it will no longer be the 50th anniversary of Gravity's Rainbow, and if I don't act soon I'll miss my opportunity to casually mention on social media that I have, in fact, read it.
