If you like meet cutes, this has one for the ages!

Remembering Rebekah Del Rio on her birthday). I read some interview snippets in Twin Peaks Unwrapped (Ben Durant, Bryon Kozaczka) that, like her songs, have a strong emotional punch. Alt-text included to make reading easier, get past the character limit.

I bought the whole damn watermelon 🍉

I can’t believe people are still carrying water for the oyster nazi

I suppose the jury’s still out for the seriously committed, but still, I estimated when I said two years. I clearly underestimated Oyster Guy.

“…guests could pay an extra $100 to participate in the Chicago tradition of being hit by a car.” Can confirm the authenticity, I’ve been hit by two Chicago motorists.

Farewell to the singular Louise Lasser, unforgettable in any role she tackled, but particularly memorable to horror fans for her go-for-broke turn in BLOOD RAGE. Our condolences to her friends, family and many fans.

How about today? 🤞

Received my Criterion Blu Ray of The Elephant Man this weekend - I will never fail to find something new to be in awe of. Really stellar acting all around, John Hurt especially.

Saw Maddie’s Secret, it’s as funny as the trailers make out, also very sweet. I also saw Hitchcock’s Marnie yesterday, and if I’m not mistaken, there’s a clever nod to that film in Maddie’s Secret.

Right out in front was a half-naked, verminous and hairy creature, approximately human, terribly pale, writhing behind the crumbled remains of plate glass, tearing at sores on his face and abdomen, drawing blood, scratching and picking with dirt-black fingernails. #Pynchon #GravitysRainbow

Yes, those are indeed clouds, weather app was *technically* not incorrect

Every Bluesky pic right now:

For Christ's sake, tomorrow is the 4th of July!

holy men who wear beautiful embroidered dresses have opinions about women wearing pants

How much of a dork would I look like wearing a bandana, Roy Rogers-style, with something like a band tee? Silly me didn’t use sun screen as much as I should have in my six decades on this baking planet, now I need to contain the damage.

Real Quatermass 2 sh*t going on outside Brownsville. (References to movies most people haven’t seen over a paywalled article are kind of my jam, sorry.)

…and they all knew you

Years ago I had a job that was draining the life out of me, I lived one block from a Jimmy John’s, and I had a personal despair index in my kitchen; the unit of measurement was how high the pile of Jimmy John’s napkins was at any given moment.

Something something and they all knew you, thank you very much drive safe and have a great weekend everyone

Well this really opens up a can of worms. Where’s Gen Z’s Carrot Top? What’s their Caroline in the City? Does Gen Z have an American Eagle Outfitters for their normie clothing needs? A Gen Z Zima they get made fun of for drinking?

For the glory of in-theatre cinema, of course 🔥🔥🔥

Happy Fathers Day

Oh yeah, take my money Criterion 💸

Macron could have done the funniest thing if he had Kaiser rolls served at dinner

“A poplar is a catkin’s way of making another catkin.”

Looks like Titus Andronicus and Bully were mentioned in the email promos, they were never on the poster, so that was a nice surprise. TA played a great set, and closing it with Bastards of Young was 🔥

The Hold Steady, Built to Spill… also there are Titus Andronicus t shirts at the merch booth?

He’s literally creating a swamp.

Dopers and drinkers struggle together without shame at the buffet and in the kitchens, ransacking the closets, licking out the bottoms of casseroles. #GravitysRainbow

My man hit the century mark. Rest in peace, my “you can enjoy movies for being fun and not be looked down on as a philistine” guy

Thinkin’ my thoughts… Lou Reed said it all better right here.

Yeah, sounds about right for Wizard of Oz night at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social

Wasn’t a silo 😬 The damaged building is mine. Told the landlord to come, and bring a stapler!

Whoa weather

You have to hand it to Sam Altman, he has a million weird faces

Most punk rock histories are lacking in that they don’t sufficiently address Arthur Lee’s Love in the protopunk section. In this thread I will…….

I really get invested in Driver 8 when I listen. Does Driver 8 ever take a break? How long have they been on that shift???? Hope you get to your destination safely, Driver 8!

LOOK AT ME LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BOY

Up in the wind is a scavenging of gulls, sliding, easy, side to side, wings hung out still, now and then a small shrug, only to gather lift for this weaving, unweaving, white and slow faro shuffle off invisible thumbs.... -Gravity’s Rainbow

Bubble go pop

The comments make me appreciate never having worn a smart watch

ALL I WANTED WAS A PEPSI

Listening to Modern Lovers, damn, Jonathan really has it out for Hippie Johnny

My Letterboxd review of The Friends of Eddie Coyle. Robert Mitchum being incredible in this one.

At *best* he will be a distracting mess of forseeable scandals and fuckups, at *worst* it's another Fetterman who contributes toward a possible Dem majority via party affiliation but with voting patterns that will make having the majority meaningless.
