THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (2005, 3/10)

Finally getting to the @criterionchannl.bsky.social's Sudanese Film Group program and it is predictably amazing. In addition to A Camel (see below), I just watched It Still Rotates (1978) by Suliman Mohamed Ibrahim Elnour, which depicts a new school in one of the deserts of post-colonial Yemen.

(Magic and Heat losing means the Hawks are now up to sixth, btw yhoo.it/4lDVpSD)

I have so many random old R&B songs stuck in my head all the time, I should start a thread as they pop into "Brian's Music Corner" (aka my brain). This is brought to you by me humming Jaheim's "Could It Be" for most of the last hour: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U6M...

Feels dumb to keep giving this advice but you will not see baseball information on this website if you don’t follow people who like baseball, you will not see videogame talk if you don’t follow people who like videogames, you *will* see posts about the Princess Bride because we all like that movie

too much discussion about SCARY MOVIE 4 recently

That’s because you follow nerds or something because this just isn’t true

Looking at podcast metrics is a fun little magic box for me because I have no idea what constitutes "good" or "good for a podcast with our reach" as far as streams and downloads go. I get to be happy only judging it against other episodes of my own podcast, much less stress than YouTube lol

My opinion on Hassan is that I am an adult and so do not care about Twitch streamers.

Oh good so thrilled she’ll come hang out in my state!!!

seeing daniel radcliffe be like “i don’t actually wanna talk about rowling because i said what i said but if i say it again that becomes the only headline and i wanna talk about my UNRELATED PROJECTS!!!” makes me feel even more like everyone who joins her projects now is a stupid boring bigot

bro this has been one of my favorite podcasts since the Eisenhower administration

Legitimately; I went to school in Aurora my whole life, 1993-2006, and these three days were the only snow days I EVER GOT

LOL I've been going through The Da Vinci Code on audiobook and they just had a big long list of Media That Has Hidden Images Of The Feminine Grail or whatever and one of them is THE LITTLE MERMAID lmao

Finally TV channels are taking my notes of just doing Rockford Files ripoffs, I'm watching the hell out of RJ Decker

Looked up which specific music star this was and it was ZAC BROWN lmao

I’m so excited to hear that all these Satyajit Ray films that I saw and loved when I was 20 in 2009, even though I watched them on a VHS tape that looked like they were projected on parchment paper with hard-coded subtitles, are getting real restorations.

It's funny that they tried to remake The Crow for twenty straight years and then they finally did and nobody in the world liked it and we all decided to just pretend it never happened. The best kind of failure.

lol. lmao even.

Beyond that, obviously a ton of implications for the Pistons and the rest of the East and so on, but first and foremost: what a brutal thing to happen period, let alone to someone who's been so great this season and is on the precipice of a bunch of awards/honors consideration.

Oh, man — that's scary as hell. Hope he's all right, and able to get healthy and back to 100 percent as soon as possible.

I have never seen a picture of Jim Downey that looks like any other fucking picture of Jim Downey.

This is why my team and I created ShAI LaBoeuf. And also why David Ellison paid me $170 million dollars for that technology.

This turtle was born five days after Louisa May Alcott. The day before he was born, Andrew Jackson got re-elected president.

Insane thing I just discovered: I never looked up DJ Toomp, he of all those amazing mid-00s T.I. beats, and I did not know that this man IS OLD AS HELL. Like, DJ Toomp toured with TWO LIVE CREW (!) in their ORIGINAL INCARNATION (!!)

lol I was just thinking "I wonder what happened to Maino" and apparently THIS WEEK there's some big Old Man Feud involving 50 Cent and Jim Jones and Maino and it's just so funny and silly, I had no idea these 50something men were still ARGUING and making AI VIDEOS

I have never seen a picture of Jim Downey that looks like any other fucking picture of Jim Downey.

total bro guy who helped me at the bank today accidentally misgendered me and then immediately caught himself and apologized. never forget most people aren’t bigots and we are going to win

Sounds like we should fire the coach with a few games left in the season again. It worked last time!!! They're just SO bad in the clutch, it's INSANE. #Nuggets

hey so I'm recording a podcast what the fuck are the Nuggets doing

The moronic hog slop I make isn't good enough for my children but it's good enough for yours.

It is legitimately hard to not think of easy ways to significantly improve the lives of poor people; like yeah I’m spending two billion buying CLAY FIGHTER: SCUPLTOR’S CUT for the N63 but it’s just so much money, you’d just run out of things to spend it on before helping people

I’m great at approaching songs anthropologically and breaking them down to their essence. I did a Hot 100 post on and off between 2006 and 2020. There isn’t a song that I wouldn’t get inured to.

getting actively angry at the lack of respect Barry Sonnenfeld receives. this man shot Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing. He directed The Addams Family and Men in Black. Literally no quantity of mediocre or bad movies should have led to a career drought like his. what the FUCK bro

⁉️

oh my god I was just joking when I referenced this earlier but this is literally what this (terrible) movie is about!

me watching people with a working knowledge of the solo work of Sting getting this joke

Giannis is fully committed to making whatever the decision that would make people the most exacerbated with him at any given time

rohmer movie

It appears that the news has broken that Caden Mark Gardner and I have programmed a series on Trans Filmmakers for the Criterion Channel. These films will be available in April www.criterion.com/current/post...

The funny part is the CBS Evening News had higher ratings when they were supposedly so low they had to bring Bari in to clean house and scare all the actual journalists away. Now what?

investors to mark zuckerberg:

literally the only thing the news should be doing is announcing stories like this, letting us know when the weather is going to be bad enough to stay home, and when the circus is going to be in town. the rest is none of our business

firmly believe this is as good as a video game can look

Angel HYPER Loggia Collection 2

As a lifelong Aurora, CO resident, seeing the vibrant and lovely Venezuelan community here stereotyped as a bunch of inherently violent gang thugs on a NATIONAL SCALE was so fucking grotesque and infuriating. I hope they all at least got to enjoy this tonight.
