Y’all gotta get yourselves down the Academy Museum and play with some Bruce.

shot, chaser.

if you work for ICE you’re evil. if you cheer ICE on, you’re evil. ICE has no positive value in this country. it’s just an outlet for people’s worst, most racist and violent impulses.

Can’t believe they’re doing young Bond when the logical next film would be Zombie Bond. He could team up with Baron Samedi. It would be awesome.

The Director Who Threw Away His Script and Never Looked Back: How Henry Jaglom Reinvented Filmmaking. tinyurl.com/55dahpts Or read it here on SubStack: tinyurl.com/2ctrvpv6 #CultClassic #IndependentFilm #filmmaking #filmmaker #indiefilm #indiefilmmaking

I discovered Henry Jaglom's films as a teenage X Files fan (David Duchovny in 'New Year's Day'). He was an acquired taste, but no one made films like him. Talky, deeply romantic and full of ideas.

Remembering the great and forever missed Phil Hartman, Emmy-winning Canadian-American actor, comedian, screenwriter, and graphic designer on what should have been his 77th birthday. #BOTD in 1948

Make sure you archive this historically important post:

They've lost the 9yos

I've posted many thoughts and clips about Jim Henson and The Muppets (feel free to go back & explore), but on what would have been his 89th birthday, I want to emphasize that for Jim, puppetry was a means to an end - just one of many mediums he explored to express his art…

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

Ronald Colman is in a pickle in HER SISTER FROM PARIS. He is having an affair with his wife's twin sister (who is actually his wife). The story was remade, sanitized and defanged for the Code, eventually becoming Greta Garbo's swan song THE TWO-FACED WOMAN.

She has been part of a government that has spent the last nearly 3 years, telling us that Israel has the right to defend itself. The government that has supplied weapons knowing they would be used to murder innocents. Now when everything is destroyed, they claim the moral high ground. Fuck off.

Born on this day on 9/22/1885: Erich von Stroheim- late but legendary Oscar-nominated Austrian-American director, screenwriter, actor, and producer "In Hollywood - in Hollywood, you're as good as your last picture."

Tylenol ain't taking this shit From tylenol.com

Please remember not to post your Rapture spoilers. Some of us live on the west coast and want to be surprised.

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

Bouie is a national treasure

I live in fear someone in my family will propose we do a “handmade Christmas” because on the one hand, I’m poor, we should definitely do that, and on the other, I’m exhausted. You want me to make you a present? I can’t even make myself a baked potato

It really is this simple. The idea that there’s this deluge of people out there that “want” to be homeless no matter what society would try to do for them is a political myth; ginned up so that we all have more people to hate and we’ll maybe not look more closely at income inequality.

If you haven’t seen this (I hadn’t), you need to:

Reform hold a press conference every Monday, for which they trail a policy announcement in that morning’s papers. Given Monday is a slow news day, that often means they lead the papers – and so the breakfast shows, and so they set the agenda for the week. It’s a good trick, but easy to counter!

Such lovely news! Liz from Leigh Film Factory is such a brilliant ambassador for film. Exactly what a community needs!

The Refugees, 1931 by Polish painter Tamara de Lempicka #womensart

Martin Scorsese and Paul Thomas Anderson after a screening of One Battle After Another at DGA. They talked about a lot of things, but since it’s the DGA it was very appropriate to pay tribute to the late Adam Somner, who AD’d for both of them, and is clearly very missed ❤️

THIS is why I get annoyed. We are three people, working out of a basement, while holding down full time jobs. It took us UNDER TWO MINUTES to sum up the framework within which the Jimmy Kimmel suspension sits, and begin the conversation *with what he actually said*. How can it be beyond BBC News?

Talk about “conflicted.” Making the best tv show about the times on tv today, and having to do it for a studio that has the spine of a jellyfish.

Really moving speeches from Senedd members Alan Davies and Huw Irranca Davies; Ruth Cocks (British Council Wales); and Inna Yehorova (Ukrainian Embassy) about the importance of cultural exchange and understanding at our event to celebrate Ukrainian culture at Chapter. Truly feel a bit more inspired.

Starbucks says surveillance clears an employee who’d been accused of writing “Loser” on a cup when someone ordered Charlie Kirk’s “favorite drink.” The accusation was originally posted by a Republican party official. It forced the store to shut down for safety. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/19/v...

wrote about this last year and sure I wasn't in any way the only one but imo people voting for populist politics in the 21st century *is* a sign that they do just have too much faith in institutions, as opposed to not enough - they want to have their little tantrum but assume things will just hold

If civil war breaks out, meet me at the library. They don’t know where it is.

Crikey, I'm still working and put #TOTP on. I'd truly forgotten what a fucking horrible song Vindaloo is. What a rancid time. Any time anyone someone starts lauding times in the past through warm, sun-kissed light just play them an episode of Top of the Pops, it's like taking an ice bath. 🤮

I'm really worried about this. No matter your party, these are experienced people who know how things work and their loss will be felt. Welsh democracy is really young and we need good, reliable, civic-minded people to keep it moving.

Just a friendly reminder that in the mid-80s, Knorr (the powdered soup and gravy company) had a weird scarecrow mascot made of vegetables.

“For the first time in a long time,” begins San Sebastian Film Festival director José Luis Rebordinos, “everyone in Basque cinema is working together: the producers, Basque TV, the Basque government, the festivals. When we have a problem, we discuss in the office — not in the media.”

Nothing like a little poetry on a Friday evening.
