Kino Lorber : 4s

I want to make a series of little pocketbooks of my funniest and smartest friends' Letterboxd reviews. Not saying Letterboxd is real Film Criticism per se but I do have buddies who have written individual lines that are better and more insightful than most professional critics' entire oeuvres.

Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness: The Director's Cut: Official Bootleg Edition (Film: 1992 / DVD: 2001)

Looking at Michael Moore's The Big One (1997)... incredible meeting of the minds here.

Always a good day when the paper of record arrives

DNC Vows To Replace Graham Platner With Establishment Rapist

If you haven't yet bought my critically-acclaimed smash hit book Ed Wood: Made in Hollywood USA, the good folks at @orbooks.bsky.social are currently selling it (and all their books) for 30% off orbooks.com/catalog/ed-w...

If you're reading this, and haven't seen LOCAL LENGENDS, you are legally obliged to watch it today, review it on Letterboxd, and tell a friend to watch it.

Everyone who follows me need to donate to this Kickstarter. Let's all pitch in on the restoration of rare queer independent cinema. A better world is possible.

RIP Tony Rayns. When I'm flipping through an old magazine and it has an article by Tony Rayns, that's what I'm reading first.

Matt Farley's Local Legends is free on YouTube this week. It was on my Sight & Sound ballot, it has the potential to change your life, and it's only 75 minutes long. If you watch only one movie on my recommendation for the rest of your life... www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5ms...

RIP the queen Louise Lasser. Among other things, hosted a Top 5 episode of SNL.

This was what all comedy looked like for at least 18 months after 9/11

Some of the film history lore in Minions & Monsters is insane. I thought it was a bit much when the Minions were shown to have been on the roof of the Pan Am building with Michael Findlay.

“The film’s time-travel plot is densely complicated and completely absurd in the correct portions, taking palpable joy in the idea that this story – this story – could be produced at this scale” @willsloanesq.bsky.social reviews Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...

There's some deep-cut film-history lore in Minions and Monsters. Turns out the Minions were working with Jonas Mekas at the New Biržai News!

The home video release of the year... at last, the incredibly bizarre Ernest P. Worrell fan film Billy & Bobby The Wacky Duo On Vacation! (2012) is being released on a Blu-Ray packed with bonus features. I preordered my copy. varietyfilms.square.site/s/order?ship...

Stunning images from the Toronto launch of The Journal of Stoogeological Studies Vol. 2

Mathew Kumar doing the important research.

In a world full of grave injustices, Uwe Boll having a movie that's #1 on the streaming charts... well, it's up there.

Wood, Ulmer, and DeCoteau - I call it my "Special Little Guys" shelf

Laurel & Hardy trying to carry a piano up a flight of stairs is still incredibly funny and that's ten thousand years old. So too is the sight of the Three Stooges trying to wallpaper a house. What doesn't hold up are all those molasses-paced John Landis-directed comedies starring first-gen SNL guys

An Interview with Tim Heidecker on the Three Stooges willsloan.substack.com/p/an-intervi...

Anyone who went to a Palestinian solidarity rally on October 8, 2023 was morally correct to have done so. It was very obvious what was coming. But as history shows, you don't get rewarded for being on the right side of history; you get branded a "premature antifascist."

Al Goldstein negatively reviews Dušan Makavejev's Sweet Movie (1974) in Screw Magazine

Toronto: I will be projecting this exceedingly-rare 16mm reel containing the canonical Three Stooges short Hoi Polloi (1935), along with several other mystery Stooge shorts, at Eyesore Cinema on Tuesday. RSVP here: www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-journa...

The eagerly-anticipated new release of International House (1934) pushes the Blu-Ray format to its very limit.

Mamdani’s love of Canadian culture extends beyond rappers. His favourite comedians are Ed the Sock and Mike Bullard. 🇨🇦

[AUSTIN POWERS] Mini-Me was a brilliant idea, although I don't know that he did as much with it as he might have. (2001)

My Twitter account got hacked yesterday and now I have a blue checkmark I can't get rid of until the end of the billing cycle. This is, without exaggeration, the worst thing to ever happen to me.

Browsing the official "Freedom 250" website. Crazy how many of these "Voices of Liberty" testimonials make America sound like a place that sucks ass!

As New York City’s Primary Voters Swing Left, These Rural Trump Voters Are Standing By Trump

Reading an old issue of G-Fan Magazine. Getting a kick out of this point-by-point strategy for readers to communicate with American critics about the then-upcoming movie Godzilla 2000.

I interviewed John Waters

Everyone who follows me is required to chip in. Very exciting film restoration work by the great Liz Purchell.

Just one of the many fine examples of Three Stooges-inspired poetry you can find in my hot hot new zine, The Journal of Stoogeological Studies Vol. 2 U.S.A - www.amazon.com/Journal-Stoo... Canada - www.amazon.ca/Journal-Stoo...

I don’t have many mutuals here, but still wanted to share the poem of mine that was published in the latest Journal of Stoogeological Studies, edited by the one and only @willsloanesq.bsky.social Still feels surreal seeing my work & chosen name in print. Honored to be included among such talent! ❤️

I am delighted that the new issue of my Three Stooges zine (100+ pages of art, essays, poetry, fiction, and more about The Three Stooges, written by a host of brilliant contributors) was covered by the Criterion books newsletter: www.criterion.com/current/post...

My dog Jinx repping her fave movie of the summer

When Charlie Chaplin's last movie was released in 1967, Time Magazine wrote, "A Countess from Hong Kong is probably the best movie ever made by a 77-year-old man. Unhappily, it is the worst ever made by Charlie Chaplin." Now you can't throw a rock without hitting a 77-year-old director.

My pitch for Austin Powers 4 is that he was frozen again in 2002 and unthawed in 2026, and now he's a fish out of water all over again. Him learning about Onlyfans. "The U.S. will always be the sole remaining superpower, baby!!!" Stuff like that.

I'm going to be here! I'll be doing a reading! I might make slides!!!

Proud to have contributed a look at the attempted eroticization of the Stooges, including a deep dive into Not the Three Stooges XXX (2012), a wild text clearly built from a lot of Stooge admiration

If you haven't checked Twitter lately you probably have no idea how insane John Cleese has gotten in like the last six months.
