Some days, out of nowhere, I remember Monarch from The Venture Bros. “Oh, look, a photograph of me making out with Stiv Bators and Lydia Lunch!”

I thought my favorite genre of music, Hot Floppy-Haired Boy Slut Goth Fuckmusic, had gone out with 90s Trent Reznor. But no, I was wrong about that. youtu.be/d--6aBBQQpw?...

So this Great American State Fair couldn't even muster up the thrills and joy of a little old county fair in rural Maryland, where the Poison and Aerosmith still play, and when you ride the Octopus, you give your ticket to a rangy hillbilly boy named Gator who's also a prostitute.

Not so much a Triumphal Arch, more of a “We honor you, Queen Carlotta” Arch.

guy has a trillion dollars, 0 friends, and has never landed a joke. I know a pact with the devil when I see one.

"Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself. And then the dragons arrived."

Charlotte: "I just think booing the president during the anthem is tacky." Miranda: "He deserves a lot worse!" Samantha: "I've done a lot worse in the MSG locker room...and I assure you no one was booing." Carrie: "Macron is the president of France. Where Paris is. Where Big is moving."

Todd gets so, so flustered thinking about Talarico’s snugly packed manhood, the poor fella can’t even sip his piss in peace.

Joyce has officially pulled out of the Great American State Fair.

Partner and I watched NETWORK last night, to cross it off the Films I’m Ashamed to Have Not Seen Yet list. Two points: - him, during Beatrice Straight’s Oscar-winning scene: “So, why exactly did she get all the best lines?” - the SOUNDS we made at the sudden Lance Henriksen appearance, my God.

No concern or sympathy for Peachtree Battle. That is regional headquarters for Speaking to Your Manager.

i like this photo where it looks like you've interrupted t.s. eliot and virginia woolf in the middle of planning your murder

Chantal Akerman’s The First Wives Club

David Lynch (RIP) insisted that there be no scene selection on his DVDs and I think he saw where this was going

I dunno. Maybe because that's a stupid thing to want?

every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.

Was so excited for a minute. Thought Bluesky had been crushed under an unanticipated weight of simultaneous posts, because it had happened.

Having enjoyed THE PARALLAX VIEW and ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, I am now seeking out the third entry in Pakula's lesser-discussed Smoking Hot Men Using Typewriters trilogy.

Moon's haunted. Happy Wednesday.

I have not put decades of effort into being a literate, highly educated, culturally aware American man just for the security camera at the self-checkout to show me a clinically depressed Duck Dynasty co-star.

this is what actual literature discourse is like now

i like how this makes it sound like those darn sharks are finally gonna have to clean up their act

These AI phone bots are getting creative with their names. I was left a message about loan pre-approval from "Harlow Sutherland" just now. Yes, I arranged a meeting with Harlow Sutherland. He will send his carriage to meet my train and take me to his estate. The moors aren't safe at night.

“I am Father Lankester Merrin. But they call me…” [slaps on fedora, peers over rims of totally boss shades] “The Exorcist.”

One of the first "oh, she's so pretty!" moments little kid me had with a movie (it was Ghostbusters). And now I need to check her out in Carnosaur again, a movie I love without irony. She did turn up everywhere.

I’ll be in my office.

So now does Markwayne get to have filthy vigorous sexual relations with Corey in the slutty bed on the garillion-dollar luxury plane with multiple bidets?

I'd rather see her stalked and brought down by the hero who needs her head to save his girfriend from a sea monster, if we're being honest. But I will accept her being disgraced, defenestrated, and replaced with a Cracker Barrel assistant manager named Markwayne.

We had "preventative skin treatments" in my parish growing up, only we called them "wash your filthy disgusting body more than once a month, you reeking animal."

Really enjoying my RE9 weekend at home with Leon Scott Kennedy's grizzled-Joe-Dallesandro-lookin' ass.

Four remakes that I like better than the original. Quote with yours! #filmsky 📽

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

DEADLY BLESSING (1981), dir. Wes Craven, feat. Maren Jensen, Sharon Stone, Susan Buckner, Ernest Borgnine, Lisa Hartman, Lois Nettleton, Michael Berryman

In the 90s we had a dinner in rotation where you mix fried bacon with mayonnaise, spread it on an English muffin, top with cooked chicken and shredded orange cheese, and broil. I still long for it.

When I first read Anna Karenina almost thirty-one years ago, I never noticed what a catty little bitch Tolstoy could be. "Levin did not drink vodka, if only because the Frenchwoman, who seemed to consist entirely of other people's hair, poudre de riz and vinaigre de toilette, was offensive to him."

American culture is dead, dead, dead

cats are apex predators of incredible grace and agility that you sometimes have to free from yowling terror when they get a claw stuck on the seam of a window curtain

It bothers me how much the little boy in this werewolf movie looks like Joanie Cunningham.

“There are all sorts of reasons why one might not esteem Nazis…” Yes, that was the problem with the Nazi Party. Unworthy of esteem. Vulgar. Lower-middle. Tacky, very tacky.

VAN HOLLEN: What did everyone else have for lunch on Epstein Island? LUTNICK: Everyone else ordered the pedophile salad. VAN HOLLEN: And what did you order? I will remind you you are under oath. LUTNICK: I ordered a normal salad. With green goddess dressing. But there was... a kitchen mistake.

Having learned that Ryan Murphy is currently making a show based on Bret Easton Ellis, I am forced to imagine the spiraling series of Ringu-esque deaths that will claim its viewership.
