The Astros 2025 season is over.

This scandal made me realize how much I despise puritan baseball fans. No critical thinking. No knowledge of history. No irony. "tHeY dIsReSpEcTeD tHe gAmE" The absolute most insufferable people to deal with the past five years.

The real disappointment about the 2025 Astros is knowing that Steve Sparks won't be doing any of his clubhouse celebration interviews.

Me forgetting that the sweet and spicy bacon burger at Whataburger doesn't have a menu number.

I need to watch Day for Night again.

Timeline cleanse.

New Apichatpong Weerasethakul movie coming out in 2027... hopefully.

During the first hour of OBAA, I kept thinking about The Battle of Algiers. Halfway through the movie, a character is watching The Battle of Algiers while getting stoned. Sometimes PTA makes me laugh.

1. Phantom Thread 2. There Will Be Blood 3. Magnolia 4. Licorice Pizza 5. The Master 6. One Battle After Another 7. Inherent Vice 8. Punch Drunk Love 9. Boogie Nights 10. Hard Eight

One Battle After Another is an epic drama about the numerous frontlines of a neverending class struggle. PT Anderson's second adaptation of a Pynchon novel is entertaining enough to be a stylish action movie but not mature enough to be the timely satire that it wants to be.

Astros scored more runs in these five innings than the five previous games combined.

The Astros are inedible.

I'm tired.

Suspended Time is a drama where Olivier Assayas reminisces on his personal experience during the Covid lockdown. On one hand, it's a thoughtful appreciation of the passage of time. On the other hand, it's a study of the privileges rich people had during the pandemic.

This game is a grim look at the AFC South.

Friendly reminder that A'ja Wilson is the face of the league.

Omer Asik mentioned.

Timeline cleanse.

With the exception of Jonathan Demme (rest his soul), Guillermo del Toro might be the nicest director of my lifetime. I hear nothing but nice things about him.

Gonna watch the Rangers postgame show because I'm a sick man.

Weapons (2025)

Whenever I think of French cinema, I think of Jafar Panahi.

Friendly reminder that Adrien Brody and Matthew McConaughey were in Angels in the Outfield.

RIP Robert Redford

If you put NIN, The Strokes, Interpol, David Byrne, Clipse, Iggy Pop, FKA twigs and the XX into the same lineup, that's a legit festival day. Other than that... no.

RIP Robert Redford

Texans update: The Rockets season starts next month.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Being at home on a rainy night 2. Not having to set the alarm before you sleep 3. Making someone laugh 4. Watching a Godard essay film and realizing that his post-Dziga Vertov Collective films are just as great as his 60s films 5. Cats
