Absolutely enchanted. During a Q&A at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social , Meiko Kaji agreed to sing a song from one of her movies. She chose to sing ‘Sentimental Journey.’ And I lucked into being front row center, not 8 feet away.

Ticket’s still available!

Hey Chicago! I have a ticket to tomorrow’s Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) showing presented by Beyond Fest at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social but won’t be going. It is sold out, so I figure someone could use it! This is Bob Odenkirk’s selection, and he is introducing it in person. $12 Cheap!

Media literacy is: approaching every article with the same skepticism you have on April Fool’s Day.

I deeply resent how much Gavin Newsom looks like Griffey from Zippy the Pinhead.

I’m not at any protests but I want to make a thread of protest songs because that sounds fun

Indistinguishable from Duplex Planet’s interviews.

MacGyver’s ‘Kill Zone.’ A satellite returns to earth with bacteria that induces rapid aging. A scientist is exposed to it after watching her dog grow old and die. MacGyver is helpless. I was 11, my parents were staining the wood floors; I still get sad and upset if I smell Minwax or turpentine.

you draw up that ad for amtrak? sure did boss, diarrhea money shot just like you asked

The show that Peaches put on last night at The Vic was incredible. Unbridled sexual positivity, body inclusivity, and badassness. Thank you, @jennispin.bsky.social for being my plus one, and extra super thanks to @chirpradio.org for getting us in. Very, very much appreciated!

Tsui Hark, Jess Franco, and some “dad” movies. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday #FilmSky

Super, mega, ultra big time thanks to @rebecca for knitting me this nisselue.

This is how you live a life

The Blue Bomber’s third outing

I’ve got a notion: Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.

Joy. Joy and skill.

if you see this, we IMPLORE YOU to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Tale as old as time: go out of town for a business conference, come home with a business conference souvenir tattoo.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! My #LastFourWatched includes a blood-sucking race car, a baby-eating tree, a top-tier noir, and seven samurai in need of rescue.

"Captain Planet isn't real but his enemies are" is a skeet that lives in my head rent free

You have roughly 40 minutes left to back this. I have high hopes that someday America will look less bleak, and we’ll look to artifacts like this and remember with pride the people who fought for decency and democracy with humor.

If you see this, QTP with a horror movie that shares the same first letter as your name 👻

Explain your username: It’s a heterograph of my name.

Spell your name with movie titles 📽️ (Horror Movie Edition) D - Dementia A - Anguish V - Village of the Damned I - I Drink Your Blood D - Dangerous Animals

If you see this, QTP with a gift of a vampire that isn't Dracula. 🦇 The automobile from Ferat Vampire (1982)

Getting into the full swing of the season. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky 📽️🍿

25 pages of blast, on behalf of trans youth. I’m proud of my Attorney General, @kwameraoul.bsky.social for organizing this.

The 90’s get a him rap for being a bad era for horror. It was weird, but not bad. Gonna enjoy this series.

The more I think about The Severed Arm, the more I like it. May need to bump it up a half star. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky 📽️🍿

#letterboxd #LastFourWatched #LastFourFriday #Filmsky 📽 ♥️ Cartoon demons, vehicular mayhem, supernatural noir, and a kidnapping action movie.

I laughed aloud at this

While driving past my local strip club, I noticed these words emblazoned over its doors: “The greatest right a nation can afford its people is the right to be left alone.” - Larry Flynt. Something to reflect on.

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.

Now, I don’t think anyone’s dead… but I am working on the logistics of how to fly a flag at double-mast.

Hey, @willsloanesq.bsky.social: I’m looking forward to seeing you in Chicago next week. Will you have copies of Made in Hollywood, USA in tow?

Drop something ARMOURED

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

It’s ‘champing at the bit,’ not ‘chomping at the bit.’ It’s ’intents and purposes,’ not ‘intensive purposes.’

On mediaburn's site you'll also find a large collection of Sykes' films, and yes all available to watch for free, if you're into Video Art and Experimental Cinema you need to check out this site, it's truly great. Make sure to spread the word and support! mediaburn.org/watch-videos...

What gif pops up when you type your name? It’s also today’s mood.

Pity. This would have been an ideal time for Costco to begin offering it.

Knee-jerk reaction says ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.’

We’re allowing hundreds of Palestinian people to die every week. I feel helpless, but something I can do is urge anyone who sees this to donate to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. www.pcrf.net

I’ve been very pleased with what Brackenbury Books has been doing for the sword’n’sorcery genre. They’re in OT for their latest release! Consider chipping in!
