YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK…and arms…if you attend your child’s 3.5 hour college graduation ceremony, after saving seats for 2 hours…and forgot to bring sunscreen and a hat That experience left me red in the face

Just started watching ELSBETH on CBS, and I’m really liking it. Major “Columbo” vibes, very similar approach to crime solving, and she’s quirky as heck. Uses the same “befuddled and inept” approach. Fun fun fun

Sir David Attenborough turns 100. In honoring this achievement, Lego changed the age requirement date from 99+ to 100+

A painting I made of my small teddy bear at age 10...or 11. And the drawing my dad, @dirkelee.bsky.social, made of me painting that bear.

When we watch PERRY MASON or EMERGENCY or I LOVE LUCY...any old TV show really... I'm struck by the fact that we are seeing it in far better quality than the original viewers. We have HDTVs and many of these shows had the film masters rescanned, as their show masters were film reels.

About fucking time. Justice for Sandy Hook parents

Not sure why it took me so long to see this amazing classic... film student, worked at a video store for 3 years... but I finally did and it's noir at it's best, with an ending that rivals THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1-2-3!

The first feature length film I edited was done tape-to-tape on betamax tapes...completely linearly, in 1999. All the footage was shot on Hi8 and transferred to Betamax. Yeah, it was VERY shoestring. And if we wanted to change something we had to go back and redo a whole section all over again.

As a person registered “no party affiliation,” like the latest attempted assassin was, I fully condemn his actions, and his thoughts to kill Trump and his admin officials. Solves nothing. Pointless. Only emboldens their stupid ass base Vote them out and put them on trial

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social: “WAH WAH WAH… Democrats have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.” (From @pabloreports.bsky.social )

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

So the lesson here is an old one..."don't mess with Texas." Trump caused ALL OF THIS...when he told Texas to redistrict before the census. Reap what you sew.

onestly...after hearing that thousands of workers were laid off at Marvel and Disney...after RDJr got $100M to appear in one movie... I think I done with Marvel films. I was on the edge, but this was the straw. A bit mad at RDJr too. Needs to do a "Keanu" to save his rep.

OK...seriously...TikTok creators/editors need to learn about AUDIO NORMALIZATION. Meaning... choose a fucking level and run with it. Especially with compilations...some audio is down here WHILE OTHER AUDIO IS UP HERE and then it goes to inaudible. NOW you see why there are standards in broadcast.

The new logo for Infowars has been revealed. The Onion has successfully landed a deal to take over Alex Jones' site after 17 months of legal issues. Tim Heidecker will serve as the site's creative director.

Look...I enjoy being a member of the Television Academy and all, but at this time of year, I can't keep up with shows I want to watch, because I have to watch episodes of SO MANY OTHER SHOWS to fully judge what is good and whatnot. I guess on the plus side, it adds to my "you gotta watch this!"

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

The right-wingers being all mad that the Pope is talking politics…yet silent about, or happy about other Christian church leaders speaking politics from their pulpits, televised shows, or on the news and in the White House… is stupidly hypocritical. They just don’t like the message of peace. Oddly

PROJECT HAIL MARY was a fun and delightful film. Amazing visuals, humor, humanity. And a great film to see in the theater. Glad it still is after 3 weeks. It should stay for 3 more. And then a looooooooong window before streaming. Incentivize going to the movies

Marvel are the massive tent-pole films that rake in the cash. I'm going to hazard a guess that not only did none of the executive take any sort of pay cut AT ALL for cost savings, but they they will, in fact, give each other million dollar BONUSES for laying off workers. Because capitalism!

Whoa! A split diopter shot in a M*A*S*H episode! S02E05, “Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde!”

On this day, in 1865...the Confederacy surrendered at the Appomattox Court house, ending the Civil War. On this day, in 197-mumble mumble... I was born. Great event to share a birthday with.

😕

"I want a businessman as POTUS...he will run the country like a business!" Yup, and how do they do that? CEOs themselves tons of money, stiff the workers, lay them off, often gut companies to make more money, then ditch them and run. I mean, just look at Warner Brothers for THAT example.

Best...product placement...ever!

That's no space station...that's a moon!

Watched this with two first-timers. It went well

Do yourself a favor and watch this short film, that won the Academy Award winning for short film this year

Trump, a “very religious man” whom evangelicals consider the second coming of Christ, posted this, on one of the holiest days in Christianity. And they are praising him for it.

The Greatest American Lego

Ah, good. My InstaCat delivery is here!

For every American rube who ever argued that instead of statesmen, we should allow a businessman from outside the political sphere to helm our government, here is the internet posting that should make you shut the fuck up and bathe alone in your submoronic ignorance until you wrinkle and die.

Fun Fact: I've had the same email address for 26 years.

Repeat a lie often enough, and people will start to believe it. That's why people who know better, who know history, still repeat this lie that the "Dixiecrats" didn't swap parties in the 1960s.

This is a completely accurate and very succinct explanation.

INTERSTELLAR, IRL!

Watching SCARFACE for the 1st time in DECADES, and the opening scene has Tony Montana being interrogated by three immigration officers. Now, me being me, I recognize two of those voices right away, Dennis Franz and Charles Durning. But then they show their faces and it's NOT them

So, I guess that there has been so much stupidly insane daily occurrences and headlines and completely dumbfuckery going on in the world that I had NO CLUE that we were launching astronauts to the moon tomorrow. This is cool, but wow, how did this get barely noticed?

FAVREAU: “$200 billion could eliminate nearly all medical debt in America, fund free community college for two decades, or feed 42 million Americans for two years. Instead, we're dropping bombs on Iran.” (From @podsaveamerica.crooked.com )

Did Norm Macdonald fake his death to become a gardener in the UK? :)

In 1954, Takashi Shimura played the leader of the Seven Samurai, with Toshiro Mifune as the brash upstart. In 1956, Toshiro Mifune portrayed Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman in Japanese history in SAMURAI III...and Takashi Shimura sought to hire him as his teacher.

Ok, the new season of Jury Duty is pretty dang fun (Amazon Prime) youtu.be/K4q_0DtugOA?...
