Stuff I made in 2025

Um hello, excuse me, Punchdrunk, but you seem to be missing the 2009 Superior Boston Production of Sleep No More?

I found an old camera with a built in telephoto lens, so I guess I take pictures of the moon now.

Wrapped: Your top 5 tracks this year were 1. White Noise 10+ Hrs 2. Rasputin, Boney M 3. Podcasts about movies 4. Regional tv commercial jingles 5. Abracadabra, Lady Gaga

A Woman's Face is on TCM right nooowww 🖤

The Creature, Frankenstein 2025 Ink, pencil, and chalk on paper

Everything sucks today in America but at least my two favorite movie podcasts have new episodes out. Shout out to What Went Wrong and Splice & Splatter, you are doing the lord's work.

Psychic: *tries to read my mind* My mind:

Strange Days (1995), dir. Kathryn Bigelow. I had no idea what I was getting into, and this movie completely blew me away. It's upsetting and prescient, brilliantly shot and edited, and the pairing of Angela Bassett and Ralph Fiennes is bizarre but works perfectly, etc 10/10

A Hill I Will Die On: Conrad Veidt in the 1930s and 1940s was performing grounded subtlety in film on a level that wouldn't be seen again until maybe the era of the Actors Studio.

All I wanted to do this afternoon was watch GDT's Frankenstein but Netflix has decided to glitch every time someone speaks, making the movie unwatchable, and now I don't know what to do with myself. -_-

Tori was one of my first points of contact within the world of immersive theater. Her performance work was such an important source of inspration at the very beginning of my own career in the arts. And she's also absolutely one of the coolest people I've ever met and had the privilege to work with 🖤

So what is up with the new Affinity for real? If it's free now when literally nothing else is free, what's the catch? Are there a buttload of ads? Is it feeding artists' and designers' work to AI? Because in my experience when something looks too good to be true it usually is.

if you see this, post 4 female characters you love

Nothing beats when I unexpectedly came across Francis Bacon's Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion at the Tate. This thing sucks the air out of the room.

Now would be literally the worst time to try to apply to grad programs, but does there exist some degree somewhere that combines a MLIS with an archival focus with like... film theory? Is that a thing? Oh also it would have to all be online because I said so.

Welcome to Capitalism where your worth is inherently tied to your job or lack thereof

"The web of influences upon OVER THE GARDEN WALL is vast, but everything coheres around a core of classical Americana, one rooted firmly in the northeast."

My kingdom for a goth dance party that's not past my bedtime

I finally watched AMC's IWTV and all I have to say is: Irish Stage Manager Vampire and German Wardrobe Vampire I love you

I think I'd really be ok not hearing any trending audio from tik tok on instagram ever again

How do freelance people stick to a schedule? Like one day for this, one day for that, etc. Or maybe the question is how do freelance people who are also people pleasers set boundaries around their schedule?

A random selection: Der Student von Prag (1926) A Matter of Life and Death (1946) House (1977) Wings of Desire (1987) Le Vourdalak (2023) Flow (2024)

The Death of Rasputin AT THE MCKITTRICK? The crossover fan fiction writes itself! tell-no-one.co

Found my new favorite website: www.weimarcinema.org

Leave it to me to wait until now to finally buy Affinity only to find they've been scooped up by Canva and have taken down all their products smh

To the people who can sit in silence with zero background noise like the tv on something harmless like the Food Network or even a fan or other ambient white noise, what's that like? Is it nice?

My dad insists that you don't need to fork stab a baked potato before putting it in the oven. Granted his reference for this declaration is a cookbook that was first published in 1896. So make of that what you will.

Oh hey there's a call for chapters out there for scholarly writing on masculinity in Weimar cinema, which is cool and all, except that I, for as much as I have to say on the subject, don't use words like pedagogy or hermeneutics in my writing so I guess I don't count as scholarly

wth apparently the bonus track, "Sparkle Lounge Blues", has disappeared from every streamable version of David Lynch's Crazy Clown Time? It's such a good song whyyy

Currently reading:

Film/TV Pet Peeve No. 257: When the writers use modern phrases in a period piece. There are some exceptions, like when it's something that doesn't take itself too seriously (ex: Our Flag Means Death). But otherwise it just makes the writers look lazy.

THIS 👏🏻 CAST* 👏🏻 They don't make star-studded ensemble films like they used to. *Except Albert Finney, yikes

What a weird week, almost got taken out by a canker sore and a violent encounter with a spider cricket.
