21. The Terrornauts (1967), comp. by Elisabeth Lutyens. Green nail polish wearing, heavy drinking, nervous Lutyens had the nickname Horror Queen. Lutyens wrote a number of modern classic music compositions. With film music, she played. A delight. #100HorrorFilmScores www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC2X...

I can stomach about 1, maybe 2, baseball games a year. I've read the Three Musketeers three times but I can't get through all of Star Trek Next Gen. See how that works? To each his own.

"I mean, is it showing off if somebody's doing the things he's capable of doing? Is a bird showing off when it flies?"

Tylenol thing might be another personal vendetta? Tylenol's a possession of Kenvue, chaired by Larry Merlo. Merlo was Michelle Obama's special guest at Barack Obama's State of the Union address. And Merlo publicly stated Trump's views on the Pharmacy Benefit Management & rebates were entirely false.

They make every day better.

I made several people mad on here this week. Well, they were already mad before they read my post.

When I see The White Album described as Prog Rock, I'm like so "Prog Rock is any rock album that's not just about fucking?"

You can fill a bookcase with novels written about nations where free speech is suppressed. Where a joke or a complaint can destroy your life, your family's life. These writers do not warn you to be silent. They urge you to speak up. To protect free speech for everyone-- before you lose it.

Latest read, The Successor (2003) by Ismail Kadare; a novel of an Albanian autocratic leader's death & the impact his life had on his son, daughter, wife, his would-be assassin, his political successor, and finally, posthumously, himself. A story of the destructiveness of political zealotry #BookSky

How can you tell when the U.S. is upside down-- the assholes are on the top instead of the bottom where they belong.

It's interesting, when you see how effective lighting is in making FX prothesis look real, that some horror films didn't fully utilize lighting as part of the imagery. Too much of a desire to 'show the monster' (or the work) or a limited aesthetic sense.

Remember to appreciate the things that also restore your faith in humanity:

Watching Sorcerer (1977), again. This is one of my favorite movies. I love it. It's simultaneously grounded and stylish. There's a no bullshit, fuck off-ishness. 70s maverick in the greatest way. #FilmSky

Wife's back from her trip. "Did you hear about the Kimmel and Kirk thing?" "I was going to cancel but my year is up at the end of this month. Not renewing. "

Wanting others to tell you what to think is a terrible human weakness.

Read over 400 books and 700 short stories in the last 3 years. Some of them were large undertakings, Terra Nostra, The Golden Bough, Ulysses, Count of Monte Cristo, Eire's Reformations, Le Morte d'Arthur, Gargantua and Pantagruel, Don Quixote, Tom Jones, An American Tragedy My head's gettin' full.

Latest read (print & audio), Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, Peter, Epistles of John, Jude, and Revelation; King James Version (1769); this concludes my reading of the Old and New Testament. A promise fulfilled to myself. #BookSky

Indiana Fever showed up to play the heavy favorite, the Vegas Aces. Exciting semi final game. Kelsey Mitchell has Indiana fired up.

Someone offered me $300 to polish their script a few years ago. I read it, read it again, and said I couldn't take their money. I gave some general advice for free but, my problem: I had such fundamental differences of opinion it would've been rewriting. That much change is writing, not advising.

Latest read (audio), Fahrenheit 451 (1951) by Ray Bradbury. A writer wrestling with his own disillusionment; 'how can books and ideas mean so much to himself and so little to so many others'. And with the madness of the post-Hiroshima, mid 20th century. Great reading by actor Tim Robbins. #BookSky

Reading Fahrenheit 451. Difference between now and 45 years ago is then it seemed cautionary, now it feels like a documentary.

Robert Redford as Sonny Steele, The Electric Horseman (1979) #FilmSky

Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, or Johnny Cash. Which was just fine.

Was watching a much-beloved movie and, well, I won't say what it was but the acting is atrocious until Alec Guiness, who plays an old hermit with unusual powers and a mysterious past, shows up.

Saw Marsha Mason in Cinderella Liberty at the theater, and again in The Goodbye Girl but it wasn't until about 15 years ago I realized it was the same actress. How hair and makeup transforms an actress, even one as distinctive as Mason. #TCMparty

So true. 29 years old when they filmed Goodbye Girl and Dreyfuss is gray (as he was 2 years earlier). He looks, like you said, 40. Liked him in Close Encounters and Jaws. #TCMparty

As often as Elloit Garfield sits bare-assed on his pillows, they should have called The Goodbye Girl "Pink Eye". #TCMparty #FilmSky

Goodbye Girl, synopsis; Hooper, from Jaws, rescues a single mother and ex-dancer when her pleasure boat is attacked by a Great White. Love ensues. #TCMParty #FilmSky

I'm a Blythe Danner fan (she's Gwyneth Paltrow's mom) but casting her as a frowsy Brooklyn-accented momma in Brighton Beach Memoirs (1986) is, I dunno, miscasting. 1986... maybe cast Suzanne Pleshette, a born Brooklynite. #TCMparty #FilmSky

Aussie Shepherds are way too smart. I call in an order on my phone and they get antsy and wait by the door to the garage, ready to go get it.

Is triple Green Olive on a pizza excessive? Do I need boundaries?

There's nothing humble in appreciating bad corporate food. Simple food, like an apple or a pear, yes. Bad corporate food, no.

Had a Dunkin Donuts latte this morning. 60 cents less for a bad latte is not a deal. Corporations and commoditization--bleh.
