I’m upset about the Baxter but honestly I’m still mourning the Vogue, and you people still make me drive past its corpse.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

I mean, I guess people do this…

I have a mad, fanciful dream that someday I will again be in a public place without piped-in music. At this point I half expect to find the cemetery where I sometimes walk mounting dirge speakers.

Guessing the only people who have ever asked him to apologize for being white are other white people.

…yet it also makes me a little sad that this person is only now finally watching something made in the 20th century.

the epstein files as rick owens fall/winter 2024

this is basically why they teach you to write a line through the end of the amount portion of a check

These are always little masterpieces of remembrance and this year is no exception.

Fuck every cubic centimeter of this.

everyone in #Louisville knows Brett Hankison is a danger to this community, yet three judges in Cincinnati decided he isn't.

And can we talk about the word “memorial” here? Again, I don’t make the rules, but it feels like there are prerequisites involved.

When determining how committed a person is to classic film to me the question isn’t “Have you watched all of Gance’s Napoleon?” so much as “Have you watched Sun Valley Serenade beyond the Nicholas Brothers’ number?”

Season 4 of THE WHITE LOTUS

Thus endeth the marathon! (It’s only about 2:45, honestly.) I’ll leave it up through the holiday so you’ll have more opportunity to donate, and St. John Center’s link is also below in this initial thread. Uncle Scrooge! 🍸

This goes live in an hour, gang! Off to make the requisite tea and toddy…

It's time for my favorite—only, actually—theological literary wondering!

Kennedy did it the old-fashioned way.

Getting out my "Bodied by Molesworth" sweatshirt. Again.

”Why do Jews reject Jesus as messiah“ is such a strange question. Why do you reject Pythagoras‘ ban on beans?

I don't know why he was on and I don't need to know and I don't care to know and I don't know why I would have watched anyway.

Imagine how great Felix Bressart would have been in a Joan Micklin Silver movie.

“What are you, an ambassador?” also gets me, consistently. But I’m not going to wax rhapsodic about Felix Bressart yet again. Take it as read. #TheShopAroundTheCorner #TCMParty

Sadly we don’t live in the timeline where Lubitsch & Felix Bressart lived long enough to do a Hollywood remake of Ikiru.

As always the holiday The Shop Around the Corner viewing inspires a Felix Bressart appreciation post. #TCMParty

Quiet generational joke I love in A Christmas Carol: Scrooge famously likes to shout “humbug”, which essentially means “bullshit”, and at the end Turkey Boy responds to the request to buy the BIG prize turkey with “Walk-ER!” which…essentially means “bullshit”.

You know, somehow this sounds correct to me…

Something to see the day after closing A Christmas Carol

…with just a smackerel of her on the dunes in Born to Kill.

Pleased to discover that Million Dollar Infield (1982) is in fact out there in the stream.

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

Reminder that if anyone is setting you up online to do some crime, THAT PERSON IS A COP. ALWAYS. WITHOUT FAIL.

We say goodbye to actor, filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner. A dedicated storyteller with sincerity that imbued his prolific work and the causes he believed in, Reiner’s heartfelt portrayal of the human condition reminds us of the power of film and its abilities to stay with us.

TODAY: @raxkingisdead.bsky.social memorializes the great Rob Reiner. “It’s not just that he made so many great films; it’s that, in multiple genres, he made *the* film, the standard of its type against which others will forever be compared.” flaminghydra.com/r/5c0fb428?m...

My wife’s immediate question re the pic on the right: “Which one played Zod?”

The Rankin/Bass “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” is poorly written, middlingly executed (Coker and Laws excepted), weirdly acted, diametrically opposed to my beliefs, all of which I know because I watch it annually and do an uncanny Tammy-Grimes-as-Albert though I say it who shouldn’t.

Wrote a celebration of Rob Reiner's features through tears this morning. I talked about how his movies taught a generation of film lovers how to feel while reminding us why life is worth living. It's free over at The Film Maven. thefilmmaven.com/rob-reiner-t...

The Anthony Geary news is sad in its own right -- yes, THAT role in THAT soap, but I will always value his amazing turn in the @alyankovic.bsky.social classic _UHF_ as Philo, the station engineer, eventual show host and secret alien. (Joel Hodgson was going to play this but a puppet show called...)

It’s common knowledge that Christmas is next week and my birthday is in September.

brb writing a cheery madrigal that's just the phrase "Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all" just in case I find I need it sometime soon

3 tickets left for tomorrow, then that’s it for the year, Louisville!

Our "how not ok are we today?" status is currently at Level Teary-Eyed-at-a-Genie-Francis-Tweet.

I'm not going back to Twitter because I'm not online to "combat the right," I am here to get rid of intrusive thoughts and maybe make like six specific women laugh
