Need to get me a job with Bluesky Moderation - they're basically the behind-the-scenes guy who'd bleep objectionable words during a pre-Sirius Howard Stern broadcast.

For what it's worth, FACES OF DEATH really is one of those movies that kinda justifies a remake.

Sorcerer (1977) 🎬🖤 Directed by William Friedkin

Another possibly-obscure Simpsons reference: in the episode where Selma adopts Jub-Jub (her deceased aunt's iguana), Patty says, "when I went over, mom was trying to stab him with a hat pin." Is that referring to PROFONDO ROSSO, where Nicoletta Elmi's little redhead does just that to a poor lizard?

Kinda love how Carpenter Brut albums are basically 30-minute blasts of noisy-dancey energy.

Woke up around 4 to use the bathroom, and never really fell back asleep.

Life is good. April Fool's!

Where have I been? What did I miss?

I dont mind a 3hr long movie... but a movie shouldn't feel 3hrs if that makes sense.

"I am very grateful to Rod Serling. He provided me with several of the best scripts I ever had the luck to perform. In one case, the role of Mr. Bemis. There isn't a fortnight goes by I don't hear a compliment about it." —Burgess Meredith on Twilight Zone's "Time Enough at Last"

Night night sweet dreamies Just a little reminder (from me to you): You are worthy. You deserve the good things. You have a heart full of love and you deserve that love right back. Say it out loud. Repeat it often. Start believing it.

Now, for some feel-good afternoon listening...

I've seen them both live recently, and Julien-K >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Orgy

Shitty sleep last night (woke up at 2:50 to use the bathroom; struggled to fall back asleep after). Set alarm for an hour later than I should have. Been dealing with a bug since the weekend. Currently updating the manuscript for my movie-reviews book.

Anyone else feel like they haven't stood on solid ground for a long, long time?

I get the purpose of like, critiquing films from a Socialist viewpoint or whatever but a lot of the contemporary stuff I see is people just getting mad the film didn't explicitly state the viewers own politics back at them. That's not how it works.

SINNERS (Coogler, 2025)

Petition for a "from the universe of MARTY SUPREME" offshoot focused solely on Abel Ferrara's character.

RE: that Korn tour announcement - Pixel Grip and Youth Code are going to blow them out of the water. Are Architects any good (never listened to them)?

June 23!

The Oscar should have gone to Chalamet's acne scars in MARTY SUPREME. What a louse.

Was listening to Dead Kennedys' "Frankenchrist" a couple days ago during a low ebb. Brilliant album, but if anything, its truisms have only worsened with age.

What if they gave an awards show and no one* noticed?

Bluesky means never having to say you're wrong about everything all the time.

Iran won't be a forever war. We will give up in a few weeks . by Pete Hegseth

In an effort to prevent stigmatisation of narcolepsy, Disney have changed Sleepy's name to "Wokey" (Source: tinyurl.com/3d4wn3st)

Just picked up a riff on SORCERER during The Simpsons' "Mr. Plow" episode: Homer carefully drives the plow over a rickety suspension bridge as the score switches from Alf Clausen's traditional motifs to Tangerine Dream-style synths.

FRIDAY!

Movie of the Day

I know the Northeast has had some unseasonably warm days recently, but out of curiosity: what does your gym set the thermostat at when it's typically hot outside?

Wishing a happy birthday to legendary director Carl Franklin! 💙

Recent and underrated movies about dreams that aren't INCEPTION or by David Lynch that I like: COME TRUE DOUBLE BLIND SOMNIUM

Real Estate: Tommy’s Parents Are Out Of Town, Let’s Party

Despite my misanthropy, I try to make the world a better place. I hold doors for people. I say please and thank you. I say excuse me if I walk in front of someone. Little things that acknowledge other people exist and you’re aware of that. It’s becoming a lost art. I see that less and less.

The Man Who Poo Too Much

Favorite NES game... (MANIAC MANSION)

The already-forgotten PSYCHO KILLER has a myriad of narrative and aesthetic problems, but still scratched a cathartic itch that made my journey to the multiplex worthwhile. More details in my needlessly epic review...

Movie of the Day

The fact that we're not even 3 full months into the year and have already had two Friday the 13ths speaks volumes. 2026 is the type of bitch that doesn't fuck around.
