this year I and some friends are watching every movie we can from 1977. First watch in this project has ghost lesbians.

this is my version of watching Fight Club and thinking Tyler Durden is cool and good

watching the 2008 Brideshead Revisited and once again all I want in the world is to get blasted on champagne with Ben Whishaw in a gorgeous country estate

Steven Soderbergh's annual media diary is out, and let me tell you: that man knows how to live extension765.com/blogs/soderb...

The number of men who flagrantly eyefuck Patrick Swayze in Road House shocks every first-time viewer for a reason: It's extremely high. Like way, way higher than you'd think if you have never seen Road House.

in a film that co-stars both Sam Elliott and Ben Gazzara there's no way this is a coincidence

$400 million budget for Stranger Things Season 5. For no reason I'm also thinking about the height of MTV when music video producers would create $120 million budgets and then just buy themselves Porches for themselves out of it.

can't believe stranger things season 5 ends with vecna being shoved off the stage of the hawkins philharmonic by none other than hometown conductor lydia tár

happy birthday to horses

got told "you have the jesus face" by a Somali guy at Kamel mall

This year my wife has been muttering ominously about something she calls The Feast of the Seven Potatoes

Sometimes when I am feeling down I pull up the car dealership post celebrating J Mascis for buying a sensible compact car and draw strength from it like a jpg spirit bomb

Saw Hamnet, a movie that I’m reasonably sure has more contempt for its audience than Joker 2. I wish to throw Chloe Zhao in a lake.

Kramarczuks now offers sausages “ukranian style” with coleslaw, shredded carrots, mayo, ketchup, and dill. Have no earthly idea what makes that combo Ukranian. Can’t find anything about it as a common sausage topping in Ukraine. Can confirm: delicious on a Kramarczuks Ukranian Sausage.

Also in this time of year you get to see all the pretty decorations on Nicollet Mall and it’s delightful.

The 11 bus is truly an underrated heater of mass transit. Gets you to the MSP film society, the MIA, and the Seward Coop Friendship Store. What a treat.

If you think about the bus as “uber but you need to walk three blocks but you get a 90% discount” you’ll probably ride it more.

in many ways the greatest frustration of the Frye administration is sitting here watching other cities *literally right next to us* do things better as we fail to even try

also worth noting that every immigrant community in the twin cities metro is freaked the fuck out over ICE right now. I needed to get buzzed into the goddamn taqueria for lunch yesterday.

fun fact: Martín Supremo does not necessarily indicate a higher quality of Martín, it simply refers to a size demarcation. A Martín Excelso or a Marín Peaberry can also produce an excellent Ping Pong player

really underscoring one of @moochava.bsky.social's bugaboos about how food in America was garbage when we were children, currently watching a documentary from 1980 about how there are all these weird people who like putting garlic in their food

L7MFAO

Stage designer I guess? But lesbian is the more important job. I think Therese by the end of The Price of Salt is a professional lesbian.

love the fact that my job causes me to occasionally purchase things called a "suction wand"

If you're a business owner/manager who's on the fence about the benefits of bike usage to move your people and stuff around I'll happily share data and info with you about how it's not just "as good" as cars, but better!

every time I post something that advocates for pedestrian, bike, and mass transit on reddit, I inevitably get someone saying "this is MINNESOTA, we have WINTER" and just reading everyone's comments about driving today I'm thinking "you know that same logic applies to cars too, right?"

This week I wrote about There Will Be Blood. I'm finished.

When the Assyrian Chicago Pope gave the Catholic Chicago Pope a cubs jersey was a great moment in ecumenical sports history

whatever 2026 holds i don't think anything next year will be funnier than Chicago Pope. 2025 was overall a huge stinker but Chicago Pope was an all time great B-plot

watching Tár again starring my real friend Lydia Tár

the cognac that Paul Giamatti steals at the end of The Holdovers (2024) retails for $4000 for a 700 ml bottle. The 15 ml swallow that he spits onto the ground is worth $85. (in today's dollars. no idea what it cost in 1971)

I will never watch a “video podcast.” Podcasts are for listening to when I’m on the bus. Are you watching videos on the bus. Are you even on the bus

The real revolution in Bob Dylan going electric at Newport in 1965 had to do with the length of his live shows. With the wood stove-powered Dylan, the coal fired Dylan, or the Dylan run on leaded gasoline, concerts could go only 20 minutes before the coughing drowned him out.

Happy 14th anniversary to this youtube video

has Christopher Nolan ever made a superhero movie?

I've been thinking about this sign for 6 months. a phrase I'll treasure forever. a metaphor with boundless potential

I’ve just learned that “corndog” in Japanese is “アメリカンドッグ” ie “amerikan doggu” and I’m torn as to whether or not to put it in this thread

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was told not to put the coin in his pocket, where it would become mixed up with the others and become just another coin, which it was.

Happy day off everyone. Get to know the people in your house. You might like them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGvJ...

Did you know that each region of Ireland has its own figure who traditionally delivers presents on Christmas Eve??

just realized that the chemical company is literally suggesting that I put coal in someone's stocking

And Tiny Tim, WHO COULD NOT DIE, crawled on under the glare of the dying sun

Massive shoutout to the Transit App that informed me that the 18 bus was late but that I could catch a 38 to the 4 and still be on time for my movie

The Bridge Over Jamiroquai
