Snapped from Famitsu July 4th 1986's issue, which features as an amazingly stylized Mario on the cover.

This was an excellent interview with a Criterion lifer. A lot of enthusiasm for filmmaking comes through!

My politics in one image.

Mamdani already failing his campaign promises.

Election day!

Hate doing this again!

The class being taught next door just showed this classic parody Shining trailer. Glad to know it’s still out there!

“Drew like a dark, fucked-up version of Pac-Man haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality.”

we caught up with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about the final stretch of the NYC Mayor's race, Cuomo's embarrassing campaign against him, Trump's threated federal incursions into the city, and how he plans to implement his agenda in his first 100 days. www.patreon.com/posts/142449...

Checking my stock portfolio just in time.

When Chris Carter a few months ago appeared on David Duchovny's podcast he surprised him by showing him an item in a bag - it was the actual prop used here in Erlenmeyer- which he keeps at his house

This man, woman, and giant skeleton saw you from across the bar and liked your vibe...

Forever charmed by Monkey Island II's iMUSE implementation, Lucasfilm/Arts' sound engine for smoothly and naturally transitioning from the musical beats and moods of one screen to another. It's something you lose out on in the CD audio based re-releases of this, Dark Forces, and X-Wing/Tie Fighter.

The best part of the new Frankenstein was seeing Mia Goth given endless, breathtaking costumes, then for Oscar Isaac del Toro basically got bored and said, “Just make him Ebeneezer Goode.”

You are not immune to propaganda.

METROID: ZERO MISSION NINTENDO R&D1 2004 (Captured on Gameboy Advance SP)

*me envisioning this quote from After the Hunt (via Klon Waldrip’s Letterboxd review)* “Ugh; I don’t want to see this.” *me envisioning this quote but changing it to Andrew Garfield in Under the Silver Lake* “Now we’re cookin’!”

June Lockhart on 90s animated sitcom "The Critic" (the episode where the show's Ted Turner pastiche Duke Phillips runs for president): youtu.be/EdaN68348c8?...

Currently taking part in this annual tradition.

ME: “Time to offer my unconditional surrender to Mark Carney.” YOU: “Don’t be hasty; there’s still three innings of baseball left.” ME: “Baseball?!”

Seeing Nosferatu tonight made me pull out my copy of Mike Mignola’s Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, an excellent pairing of artist and subject matter I would have never guess existed until I found it on the shelf. The blood looks so good!

Besides this amazing character actor run, Hootkins has a connection to the JFK assassination! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William...

I’m thinkin‘ maybe I’d like to try me some of that cacao…

The best I will ever do online in this game and the obvious conclusion.

So-called “free thinkers” when it’s time to defend Mario Kart World’s features against competing racing games.

That Terry Rozier/Osama bin Laden tweet really is part of my brain now. For any single moment of regret no matter what the context, I sigh and mutter, “shouldve hooped...”

Ugh, went looking for that Ursula K. Le Guin/divine right of kings quote and discovered this was the first line of her speech:

DONALD DUCK GOIN'! "QU@CKERS"

Watching Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) w Kim Novak, Dean Martin, and Ray Walston. Loving the Beethoven sweatshirt!

Find someone who looks at you the way my toddler nephew looks at a garbage truck.

Logging on.

We need a killdozer of the left

If she’s your girl how come she’s giving Uncle Albert an Admiral Halsey?

Not sure the context but the woman walking past me just said, “more like *Dork* Angeles” to her husband.

If you’re like me, you sat up on your chair when S-tier character actor Kevin Tighe turned up in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. I had a wonderful conversation with him about it for The Reveal: thereveal.film/interview-ke...

You versus the plate of shellfish he tells you not to worry about

I have a love/hate relationship with JJ Abrams, especially the way he treats the fictional women he writes, but apparently he was going to *behead* Superman’s mother Lara onscreen? Gross! Anyway this is a good podcast.

All authors should be murdered rather than be allowed on social media. You cannot be an author and a poster.

In Count Dracula/Orlok is a literal dying aristocracy attacking the bourgeoisie replacing it with medieval plagues, in the process unraveling industrial civilization back to peasant superstition and ritual. Even those who survive are left in some sense infected.

I Paid For A Colossal Donut And I’m Gonna Get A Colossal Donut #simpsons #thesimpsons #watercolour

Going to start complimenting people’s backsides by nodding at them and saying “Gourmet buns; *classic*...” I’ll let you know how it goes.

Before I moved West my knowledge of Los Angeles as a living, breathing city came almost entirely from Avellino and Martino’s separate blogs. This is a good watch.
