Hey Bluesky: what is a good iPod replacement mp3 player? I want a simple dedicated device, no WiFi, I can load up with music and leave in the car. Right now the Innioasis y1 looks like my best bet, but does anyone have any experience with these? #Musicsky

My monster kid origin story is 36. Meaning my monster kid is only 35. Gonna start using that as my actual age I think.

In the mood for some real meat & potatoes #grindhouse this morning. #NowWatching The Violent Professionals (1974) from director Sergio Martino, one of my faves. I have to take the youngest to a birthday party in a bit so I’ll likely have to split this viewing in two. #Filmsky

Saw a trailer for Relay last year & then never heard of it again until it popped up on Netflix. I was really excited for this one, and the first 75% is a really solid techno-thriller mixed with the more languorous 70s style. The problem is it really fumbles the last act when it becomes #Filmsky

I saw someone say, “Emerald Fennell is Greta Gerwig’s Wario,” and I haven’t stopped laughing 😭

I slept nine hours last night! Almost twice my nightly average! What am I gonna do with all this energy? Watch movies!! #NowWatching New York Ninja. I was so excited when this was announced but I’m only just now catching up to it. This should be fun. #Filmsky

This band I’d never heard of, Landroid, was giving away their 2019 debut album for the cost of shipping. It arrived yesterday, and I gotta say I’m pretty happy with it. It’s that synthy dreampop I really love. They’ve got a new album out soon & I’ll definitely be picking it up. #Musicsky #Dreampop

The worst part about this time we’re in is realizing no one in power now has any interest in actually fixing the damage already done. But I remain hopeful people will see the logic of this plan.

2 weeks from tonight in NYC! CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS 8:30pm • UCBNY Tickets are 25% off if you get them early! ucbcomedy.com/show/connor-...

Back from birthday date night with @ambergir.bsky.social. Went to see Heart Eyes, which kills with a crowd. Love the effort @ninjapleasedj.bsky.social puts into these screenings. Original art from @alexpardee.bsky.social, bespoke ticket, and v-day cards for all who attend. #Filmsky #Horrorsky

Some small good news! I reported the ‘band’ Glasstrees on Bandcamp for being completely AI generated. Bandcamp customer service let me know today that they’d been completely removed from the service. Encouraged that they’re taking the AI ban seriously and enforcing it. #Musicsky #Shoegaze

Music to cook to. Damn this album is so good. An artistic collaboration for the ages, and completely unlikely. #Musicsky youtu.be/j1sq_fdq_Ps?...

Ok let’s get this over with. #NowWatching The Dead Pool, the final Dirty Harry (so far!), finishing out the boxset. These have been a pretty consistent case of diminishing returns, each a little less interesting than the last. But I’m hoping to at least like this more than Sudden Impact. #Filmsky

Here again at @killerfitnessla.bsky.social for another fun screening. Our first of two here this week. Tonight’s flick is Brian Yuzna’s slice of late-eighties gonzo insanity that is Society. @ambergir.bsky.social has never seen it. I’m so excited. #Filmsky #Horrorsky

I honestly thought we’d never see it. And did not expect to be so emotional seeing Straub’s name on a new book.

Just finished The Running Man (2025). Haven’t read the book since jr high but it seemed fairly accurate. This is the most I’ve liked Glen Powell in something. I don’t normally DIS-like him, but I’m just not buying what he’s selling. He totally worked as a constantly boiling pot of rage. #Filmsky

Should my cat ever finish her novel, I just took the perfect author photo.

Heading out to @thefridacinema.org for the opening of their lobby art show tonight. Swing by to see this and other great #TwinPeaks art! #DavidLynch #Filmsky

Today’s the day. We’ll be at the Frida around 5pm. I’m also really looking forward to seeing all the other submissions and checking out all of the Santa Ana Art Walk.

Time for another #FolkHorrorFriday! Lake of the Dead (1958) Continuing to go through each film in the All The Haunts Be Ours box. I actually watched this a few years ago when I was stuck in my bedroom with Covid, but a lot of that stuff is just a blur. Excited for a revisit. #Filmsky #Horrorsky

I haven’t officially announced it yet, but I’m working on a twin peaks podcast. It will have a weekly check-in with my friend who is watching for the first time. It’s incredibly fun to just keep my mouth shut about questions or ideas they have, and see how someone new to the show processes it.

Hey Peakies, OG and new, if you’re looking for the whole story… look no further. #scottmeslowbksy.social

Can’t get back to sleep. Time for a movie! #NowWatching Brother From Another Planet (1984) Joe Morton was in Zelly & Me, and it reminded me that I’ve been meaning to see this one for literal decades. #Filmsky

“Our lives are the sum of our choices. Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt.” -Albert Camus

2nd movie of the morning & I I went to the pile of physical media I haven’t watched yet. Sudden Impact, the 4th Dirty Harry film & the only one directed by Eastwood. My least favorite of the franchise so far. The films are always a bit iffy, politically, but this was just mean & icky. #Filmsky

Got the day off and gonna try to watch a movie or two. #NowWatching Zelly & Me (1988). A mostly forgotten film. We’ve got Isabella Rossellini, a small role for David Lynch, and it’s written/directed by Tina Rathborne, who Lynch would tap to direct 2 episodes of Twin Peaks. #Filmsky

Time for some heady sci-Fi nonsense. #NowWatching Parallel (2018). I’ve seen a few of Isaac Ezban’s films, and they all have great hooky plots that fall just shy of really being great. Still I like them all, they’re fun Twilight Zone style exercises. This looks to follow that trend. #Filmsky

Made a new top @letterboxd.social Favorites featuring some of my favorite first-time watches of January. #Letterboxd #Filmsky

This one was a real oddity. Motivational Growth (2013). A suicidal shut-in starts taking life advice from the fungus in his bathroom, which is voiced by Jeffrey Combs. The plot owes a lot to Little Shop of Horrors, but with a much more cosmically odd flavor. #Horrorsky #Filmsky

Honored to announce that my submission has been accepted for the Feb-March lobby art show @thefridacinema.org Opening night 2/7 at 5pm

Last month I started jogging. 4 days a week or so, in increments so small they aren’t even worth mentioning. I felt like dying immediately that 1st day. Today we had to carry bags of material up 4 flights of stairs, & I’m the only one who didn’t have to stop & catch his breath. Small victories.

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed. ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. 9 TOTAL. ABOLISH ICE.

This Thursday 8:30pm UCBNY CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS In-person & livestream: ucbcomedy.com/show/connor-...

Time for some #NewMusic2026 Spellling (feat. Brendan Yates)- Portrait of my Heart Spellling has been doing colabs w/ different artists redoing songs from last years terrific release. Here they’ve turned the title track into something darker, more anthemic. #Musicsky

I've had a promotional VHS for the test animation that became Batman: The Animated Series for a long time, I bought it on eBay in like...1999? The version they put as a bonus on the DVD said they lost the audio but uh, here it is. You're welcome Bruce Timm.

Imagine calling Mark Antony just "Mark".

Went to Pasadena ComicCon today, with the fam. As always artists alley took all of our money. I’ll be posting my haul as I work my way through it. First up: these two #TwinPeaks prints by AndrogynArt/Jesse Ledina. Look them up on insta because they had easily a dozen more I wanted

Now that we’re a few weeks into 2026, I can start digging through all the new releases for some gems. #NowListening Sleaford Mods: The Demise of Planet X Released: 01/16/26 New post punk hip hop delivered in a thick Midlands accent! #Musicsky

At the insistence of @cinema4pylon.bsky.social , i am #NowWatching Two People Exchanging Saliva. A nominee for this years academy award for short film. 36 minutes, perfectly timed so that once it’s done I know I have to go downstairs to put my laundry in the dryer. #Filmsky

I spent the majority of my day yesterday saying goodbye to Keith Porter. I just woke up to the news of Alex Pertti. Another generous soul that lived to serve others, killed by ghouls being paid for with our taxes. How many more?

Yesterday I went to the funeral for Keith Porter, the man shot by an ICE agent on NYE. I woke up this morning to news that ICE had executed another innocent man in the streets. Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. Call your reps today, tomorrow, every day until all these fucks are behind bars.

Nothing worse than when the calendar drops while I’m out somewhere without reliable wifi. Just a big black box. Taunting me with its possibilities.

Driving my youngest to school this morning and the radio was playing Fascist Groove Thang by Heaven 17. Top tier way to start the morning. #Musicsky

Time for another #FolkHorrorFriday as I work through Severin’s All The Haunts Be Ours box. #NowWatching Viy (1967) I’ve seen this one before, several times in fact. It’s terrific. Full of incredibly imaginative filmmaking. #Horrorsky #Filmsky

he's a lot of fucking colours for a white supremacist

Time for more 2025 catchup, and one of this years Oscar nominees I haven’t seen yet. #NowWatching Bugonia I am very up-and-down when it comes to Lanthimos, and literally have no idea where this one will fall on the spectrum. #Filmsky

Ok I lied, I didn’t watch it last night. #NowWatching The People’s Joker Finally, it’s been a long time coming.

Took the oldest out to the Twin Peaks: Conversation With the Stars / David Lynch birthday celebration. Ran into a bunch of cool people, like @davidlynchsworlds.bsky.social, my ex-neighbor Nick who isn’t on here, and @danagould.bsky.social. A real fun night with some real fun conversation.
