the three spirits

the annual bird’s a beaut

He hits a half-dozen distinct Garfield Faces in less than 30 seconds here. Remarkable work.

her inevitable flameout is gonna be so satisfying

Top of the 15th…

Phrased like a threat… because it is.

Just remember the only thing stopping the Cubs from building a team like the Dodgers is that they don’t want to.

All of them except like five support it. Next question

GREAT movie (there was also a very hip hetero couple where the guy got visibly uncomfortable when things started getting gay and left shortly thereafter… i love when dudes who wear earrings and a lot of leather are also homophobic.)

i may or may not be getting too old for this shit

In recent months I keep reflecting on James Gray’s brilliant (and largely ignored) ARMAGEDDON TIME, a film about the long, pernicious shadow of Morning in America Reaganism that still feels like defiantly personal filmmaking. It touches the dark, rotting heart of American life that led us here.

Bob Dylan's 2020 painting "Rocker" is based on a frame of Jimmy Stewart from John Ford's 1961 Western Two Rode Together:

saw my buddy Tom at the movies today. hey Tom!

the boys!!

Kind of surprised by the mixed reception for QUEER, for me it's clearly one of the best movies to hit American screens this year with a brilliant central performance. and i'm not even much of a Guadagnino guy.

this, a Coke Zero, and a blunt (and some DETORITERS)

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Here’s a look at the bird we served up at my place.

I’ve got this on while I’m cleaning my apartment, watch closely for an absolute feast of iconic 70s, 80s, and 90s sidemen… Jim Keltner! Anton Fig! Al Kooper! Donald "Duck" Dunn!

A nice three-sheet for the newly discovered 1918 John Ford film, THE SCARLET DROP.

Personally I think anyone who lines up for a movie more than two hours early should be tear-gassed.

seated for some opulent nonsense

i love these nights in LA. it reminds me of early autumn in the Midwest, when the air turns crisp before the real cold comes.
