Outlaws is not as pretty as Cyberpunk, but it is also pretty.

"BLACK" from season 3 of Visions reminds me of the 60s collages of Arthur Lipsett, who strongly influenced young George Lucas (he put references to Lipsett's "21-87" into THX-1138 and Star Wars). Here's Lipsett's "Very Nice, Very Nice": youtu.be/mY7B2-Wqj6g?...

And that's a wrap

Remember when people were really angry because they thought Taylor Swift was hiding Nazi dog whistles in her merch? Good times.

George Lucas on "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". Whatever you think of that movie, this is the only attitude any Star Wars creator should have.

As an American, I am very glad Mamdani won. As a Bostonian, I am rolling my eyes at everyone treating NYC like the center of the universe.

Duty done.

Now that it doesn’t matter anymore I can say I can’t believe conservatives didn’t go with “Madmani.”

Was not expecting an Andor joke in Abbot Elementary.

The halfway point of the Diegetic Shuffle isn't the only milestone we hit this weekend—with Visions Vol. 3 I added the 500th (and 501st) cue to the spreadsheet of diegetic Star Wars music! I thought I'd mark it with another look by the numbers. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I was lucky enough to be invited to the wedding celebration for two splendid young people today, and got to witness and participate in their family’s broom ceremony, in which the newlyweds jump over a 180-year-old broom tied with a ribbon for every family wedding going back to the mid-19th century.

My wife, very seriously, after I attempted to describe a jazz score from a short film: “Is it skronky?”

Day 31 of #Inktober: AWARD.

The Visions Vol. 3 soundtrack is out, and it includes (at least) three diegetic tracks: "Music Player" by Towa Tei & Shiro SAGISU from "The Song of Four Wings", "Beyond Countless Worlds of Truth" by Taisei Iwasaki feat. Sheena Ringo from "The Bounty Hunters"…

I hope somebody showed "Black" to George Lucas. I think it would make him happy.

Happy Halloween, you spooky ookies.

Day 30 of #Inktober: VACANT.

Day 29 of #Inktober: LESSON.

Woopas.

Repost this with you and your significant other (not really)…

Day 28 of #Inktober: SKELETAL.

Day 27 of #Inktober: ONION.

I don't generally watch the baseball, but I just turned on the game. Has Bad Bunny performed yet?

Flu- and COVID-boostered. 👍

Watched "Between the Lines" on Tubi tonight, with shots of 1977 Harvard Square and Cheapo Records plus an incredible cast (Jeff Goldblum, John Heard, Bruno Kirby, Lindsay Crouse, Michael Pollard, Marilu Henner as a burlesque dancer 👀).

Day 26 of #Inktober: PUZZLING. (After Moebius.)

Garry Trudeau is a witch. (From 1987.)

Day 25 of #Inktober: INFERNO.

The response to the news about "The Hunt for Ben Solo" tells me that sequel nostalgia is arriving right on schedule, at least when it can be camouflaged by complaints about Disney.

Day 24 of #Inktober: ROWDY.

Day 23 of #Inktober: FIREFLY. Sometimes I wonder why I participate in Inktober and then something comes out exactly like I imagined it. Feels nice!

Somebody should make a movie about the sinking of the Titanic.

In an obscure corner of Kazakhstan, the remains of an ocean millions of years old have created probably the most surreal landscape on earth -- as captured by photographer Daniel Kordan mymodernmet.com/daniel-korda...

Day 22 of #Inktober: BUTTON.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Luke’s T-16 Skyhopper toy is going to face some roadblocks if it ever runs for senate.

More like OUTgrassia. Thank you, thank you, you’re too kind.

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

Day 21 of #Inktober: BLAST.

Cyberpunk 2077 photo dump: Night City architecture. (This game is so pretty.)

It's the big one today: "Cantina Band", aka "Jolly Jazzers", "Monkey Band", "Mad About Me", and cue R5P3-3A, arguably the most recognizable piece of diegetic music in film history, written by John Williams as a Benny Goodman-style swing tune for the cantina scene in "Star Wars".

I’m imagining we missed out on “The Limey” with Ben Solo and now I’m sad.

Day 20 of #Inktober: RIVALS. A little tribute to today’s Adam Driver news.

Day 19 of #Inktober: ARCTIC.

Really disappointed in us, guys. Be better. #NoKingsBoston

Day 18 of #Inktober: DEAL. How could you not trust that face?

I found a secret Galaxy's Edge lesbian romance between Oga and the Toydarian Toymaker in DJ R-3X's dialogue loops: "This next song is requested from our local toy shop owner Zabaka, who wants to tell our very own Oga that she's always on her mind. Aww. Here is that romantic duet from Laki Lembeng."
