buy my zines! misfitcinemajournal.etsy.com

i grew up with james bond jr and pierce brosnan. i really don’t give af what they do to 007.

if anyone is interested, here’s the apple playlist for my soundtrack to my new story. sort of a preview of what’s to come…. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

okay i’m almost finished with my new writing project for my zine. it’s a 10,000 word semi-autobiographical story that takes place over one day in 1998 and involves the remake of ‘psycho’ and a fugazi concert.

now that I’ve had a couple days to think about it…. I very much did not care for “heart eyes”. there’s more to like in it than in “scare me”, but it still can’t escape its own terrible script.

was leni riefenstahl a dei hire?

not really sure who needs to see this right now… maybe we all do. let your love grow with the smallest of dreams today…. youtu.be/Gft_kG9cfJg?...

good morning from cookie bed

“garfield: a tail of two kitties” has a pretty incredible cast that kind of elevates this little delight into a minor masterpiece…. but goddamn it, roger rees is so brilliant. he’s the anchor. you buy this ridiculous world because of him.

julie doiron and the wooden stars still hits so hard. what a fucking album.

god i love sunrises in new york city (hashtag no filter)

sometimes i feel like i’m the only film geek alive who still admits they hated siskel and ebert.

the dylan movie is so supremely stupid. the entire dramatic crux of the film is “will he go electric at newport 65”? there is literally nothing else to this insignificant piece of dress up hokum, except maybe a tiny guthrie side story that goes nowhere.

honestly… if you think little things like laws and constitutionality are going to stand in his way, you really have not been paying attention. the old rules no longer apply.

it’s already happening… i thought it would maybe be a month or two before he started “joking” about a third term… but he’s already doing it. there’s no doubt in my mind what’s coming. call me crazy all you want… but every single warning sign is being checked off like some apocalyptic to-do list.

cookie sez “good morning”

why is instagram now just 19 year old youtubers telling me i have to see “the brutalist” in the theater?

trying to compile a list of all of jess franco’s “al pereira” films… here’s what i’ve got so far… what else?

holy crap… what a match! congrats Maddie!!!!!!!!!! 🎾

umm… just watching “long arm of the law” for the first time and the scene where they shoot the dude in the mall and he falls over the balcony and starts ping ponging around the ice rink below….

and now cookie has decided she wants to sit on this bag…

rarely has one picture summed me up so well…

aw man… rip jeannot szwarc. one of the last of the great journeyman directors to come out of the old hollywood television system. another huge loss for cinema.

david lynch inspires me every day and will continue to inspire me each day for the rest of my life.

go fuck yourself hollywood reporter

nw: the brutalist (70mm)

today is the one year anniversary of losing my home and everything i own in a fire… as well as the 10 year anniversary of that time i spent christmas in a psych ward. i don’t know about you, but i’m a little skittish about the holidays.

I don’t think I’ve seen one person mention Stephen Schwartz’s name in the past 2 months and it kinda has me scratching my head why.

“I’m not a sick boy! The whole world is sick, it’s a terrible world to live in!” - Andy Milligan

if they remade “invasion u.s.a.” today it would have to be a crossover with “when a stranger calls”…. “the invasion is coming from within the house!!”

swapped out the posters in my living room 📽️

since when are critics and industry awards and nominations something that are “earned”?

anyone else get excited by the phrase “patrick muldoon in a fred olen ray film”?

anyone miss the days when ‘yellowstone’ was ‘succession’ in cowboy boots? i don’t know how much more of the taylor sheridan ego show.

i’m still holding out hope that david leisure writes a memoir called “life of leisure”

“Marilyn Manson doesn’t know who I am…”

i liked conclave well enough… but mostly it just makes me think of the young pope / the new pope and how much i loved those shows. it really doesn’t get better than the sexytime nun dance party…
