Colman Domingo in Disclosure Day:

I am reluctant to post a clip of the ending of a movie, but in lieu of Bud Cort’s passing, I must pay tribute to the greatest end credits of all time. RIP. Spoilers ahead. youtu.be/NZhOCX85Ak0?...

If you want a new film score backdrop soundtrack to your work day, why not try the 24 hr feed of Starfleet Academy’s giant (32 week long) Athena ship set build at Pinewood Studios Toronto (ahead of the premiere tomorrow) 🖖 #startrek: www.youtube.com/live/OaNTCqr...

RIP Sean Connery you would have loved saying this headline

"RFK Should Not Resign" -The Measles

Everyone involved with the immersive WIZARD OF OZ should be forced to spend several days in an immersive RETURN TO OZ

Oh this is sad. Everyone sing together: 🎶 "The X-Files is a show/ With music by Mark Snow" 🎶

Huh. What an interesting intersection of things I independently love

Most people think the theremin is just for aliens, maybe ghosts. Only Brian Wilson had the true vision that it could also be for summertime sweetheart jams

A message from Carl Sagan from 1995—some of his last prophetic words.

Thx @99pi.org + @romanmars.bsky.social for re-airing/updating one of my fave eps about a secret apartment in a Providence shopping mall. Prompted me to find Jeremy Workman’s doc - it really hit a lot chords for me on public art, gentrification and fed my inner rebellious spirit. Highly recommended.

therme doesn’t even have enough equity to purchase a 1500sqft house in toronto let alone a megaspa worth taxpayers’ billions or the life of 900 trees

Want more? At @spacingstore.bsky.social , @johnlorinc.bsky.social has been investigating Therme for years (harassed by their hench-comms). Go back thru his archive. Maybe the NYT will wake more up in Ontario who shrug at Cdn reporting. spacing.ca/toronto/2024...

Nick Rivers is forever the greatest and most underrated Val Kilmer performance amongst many great performances in his career, at least in my heart anyways. Acting backwards, fighting underwater, singing and dancing like Elvis, also German polkas. RIP

she wore blue velvet whoa whoa whoa…. and I can still see blue velvet through my tears

A break from political outrage to say “Chikhai Bardo”: beautiful filmmaking, performance by Dichen Lachman, just enough plot WTFs but not too much to overwhelm the human connection. Strongest #Severance outing for me so far. Exquisite and haunting final shots behind my eyelids in sleep tonight.

One of my favorite scenes in the entire show, and it was even more emotional on a rewatch—amazing acting and writing. #twinpeaks @markfrost.bsky.social

I got married at 38 but didn't a plane land upside-down yesterday

“BrBa guy” used to write great stuff for this admirable protagonist. He may not have written these specific words coming out of Dana Scully’s mouth but they kinda feel like they hold up after 29 years…

Doug Ford crowing about spending $1.3B on colleges and universities and $1.8B on healthcare. Oddly, he opts to not mention the $2.3B he’s spending on a private spa in Toronto.

There have been many clever pieces from McSweeney’s this week but this one hit the bullseye so clean. So perfect in fact, it’s almost hard to laugh (but I still did).

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

Happy International Day of Women in Science. The National Science Foundation’s list of flagged words includes both “Women” and “Female.”

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Americans will go on vacation to a place that isn’t a car sewer, walk and take public transit for 8-12 hrs. a day, notice a change in their health, and attribute it to “they must not have the Illuminati chemicals here”

“Serling was following a path laid down by writers and artists in a lot of different cultures who had more to lose than their income—including ones who were, at that very moment, being persecuted by dictators.” — I wrote about Rod Serling today. No reason. www.rogerebert.com/features/the...

the post-truth era is out there

Check out the new short film, THE SECOND by my friends, Tony Zhou & Taylor Ramos (thx for inviting me to be a part of it)! I've been a tiny cog in a big franchise wheel for the last few yrs so it was inspiring to see T&T go for it with their one for them, one for us philosophy. youtu.be/Mfz6tj_Ep1E

New year = good time to properly immigrate to newer bluer skies. I ❤️ the work that goes into making art. I will drive 100km out of my way to read a plaque. I still have occasional feelings/opinions/fondness for ye olde X-Files. If such posts don’t turn you off, please stick around for my nonsense.
