Do you have a simultaneous attraction and allergy to "true crime"? When you dip your toes in do you feel like they come away stained with blood and greed?

I was already subbed and you should too.

@janeespenson.bsky.social I am so honored you follow me at all! I was the kind of Buffy fan who knew all the writers’ names back in the day, you’re a heroine of mine.

It’s time to rewatch Buffy and Angel.

A lot more WHITE LOTUS crossover with ALIEN EARTH than anyone was expecting

I have no Canadians at hand to discuss this Don McKellar strike-breaking situation with

there’s a lot of delusional property pricing out there rn

my review of [redacted] is mixed except that I would like an Oscar for Amy Madigan

I regret that I may have to start a substack

“elevated horror movie weekend” Is my favourite kind of movie weekend

People have outsized moral expectations of actors.

Marilyn Monroe passed away on this date in 1962. Monroe and Joe DiMaggio carved their initials into the Coq d’Or cocktail lounge’s wooden bar at the former Cape Cod Room in Chicago. hometownstohollywood.com/travels/cape... #MarilynMonroe #Marilyn #Monroe #Chicago #CapeCodRoom

the end of the gilded age tonight had the production values of an Ed Wood movie, with none of the self-awareness

I miss Peak TV and the new movies in the theatre every week. Yeah, a lot of it was bad and lazy. But at least there were interesting experiments to watch at night, in the theatres. Now there's just nothing. I hate it.

Just remembered the classic CanLit novel about an archivist who has sex with a bear.

Would also like to suggest SUCH BRAVE GIRLS to anyone with a sense of humor.

It would be so much easier to get through this time if there were more resources for art-making.

Completely obsessed with Will Sharpe’s performance in TOO MUCH. Also Adèle Exarchopoulos but that goes without saying.

I am writing all the time but unable to comment on anything in real time anymore.

I return to check out the WHITE LOTUS memes.

tfw you are not alone

all my anxieties coming true, very validating for my anxiety

one thing giving me joy

There was an earthquake at the vanity fair party and I want footage

Just sitting here reading SEVERANCE theories on Saturday night.

Me watching any movie filmed before 2010 lately.

I don’t think it’s evil they are attracted to. They are attracted to change produced by conflict. That usually demands that someone do something bad. So characters aren’t “good” or “evil” as static qualities. They simply need to have the capacity to do either, and enough freedom to choose between.

I just don't know what to Post.

I am making gallons of bolognese.

I love Canada. That’s all.

Rain, at last. Maybe next week will be better.

as the rollercoaster crests the top of the initial incline, the ratcheting noise slows and stops, and you can, right before the plunge, observe the entire amusement park

social media has been an interesting and highly damaging experiment. good try. let’s pack it up and do something else

As a supplement to the horrible fire news surrounding LA, let me recommend this great documentary about how this wonderful and dynamic city has been photographed and used in popular culture. For now, the entire doc is on YouTube (link below). #LosAngeles #LAfire #history

And this is someone in my extended community, a working artist who had JUST moved all his stuff to the Zorthian Ranch last week. It was all destroyed, as was much of the ranch: www.google.com/url?q=https:...

Happy New Year from Dorothy Parker (and me).

Pointing out that Elijah Wald, who wrote the book that A COMPLETE UNKNOWN is based on, put together this amazing playlist of the traditional songs that were influences on this particular era - A Complete Unknown: A Listening Companion from Smithsonian Folkways open.spotify.com/playlist/2Cv...

Remember on this day that, canonically, George Bailey’s re-discovery of the value of his life takes place at the same time as the failed hit attempt on Vito Corleone.

@catherineelacey.bsky.social Where’d you go Bernadette, I thought I was already following my favourite contemporary novelist
