Timeline cleanse: I’ve run and walked through this tunnel countless times in my 28 years in this town, and it always brings me so much joy. Hell yeah, kids.

I can’t believe that kid wearing jeans during practice isn’t better at cross country.

Post a horror movie everyone should see

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Cooking all day on a Saturday for my people while … 2. listening to records and … 3. sipping wine then … 4. slowly dining together before … 5. screening a movie for us all in the basement to end the night.

Wake up, babe. New industry just dropped.

As I carried two coffees through the parking lot earlier today, an older man rolled down his car window and did the whole “Is one of those for me?” with the youthful exuberance of someone whose been sitting on that one a spell. Fella nailed it, too. Not enough guys like that out there anymore.

Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future (aspirational version):

Vampire: Dracula (‘31) Werewolf: An American Werewolf in London Ghost: House on Haunted Hill (‘59) Slasher: Halloween (‘78) Folk: The Ritual Big Monster: King Kong (‘33) Zombie: 28 Years Later Comedy: Deadstream Alien: Alien Cosmic: Spring Psychological: Silence of the Lambs Anthology: Southbound

Post one of the most haunting shots in movie history from a film made before the year 2000

This one goes out to alllll the lovers out there: [Dave Franco voice] “MUSCLE! RELAXANTS!” 800/5

NOPE-ass cloud on the block tonight.

CAST AWAY 2

“Hey Jude” First, you forgot the comma. Second, fuck off.

Share a bartender from a movie or TV Bar *owner*, that is, but I’m doing it anyway: Jennifer Connelly, from TOP GUN: MAVERICK.

Tell me your pet’s name with a gif

Twilight Zone marathon is great because every actor looks like Holt McCallany, then you look them up and discover they were 24 at the time.

Quote this with a great TV father

BREAKING: Dave Matthews tour bus deployed to disperse Chicago “No Kings” crowds.

Soldier on the secret moon base.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? (I'm fucked.)

Bix Beiderbecke

Cigarette smoke being exhaled in black-and-white.

Video Showtime, Cumberland Square, Bettendorf, Iowa. Heaven.

Seeing The Hold Steady in Minneapolis this weekend (also Nick Cave!), a few weeks after seeing Bob Mould and Craig Finn (solo), and about a month before seeing The Jayhawks, in case anyone was worried about my aging-Midwest-dad cred. #MusicSky

Child (11) broke her arm this week. This is a card a classmate sent home from school. This kid is extremely my jam.

five comedies to get to know me: The 'Burbs (1989) The Gold Rush (1925) Sleepless in Seattle (1993) Jerry Maguire (1996) As Good As It Gets (1997)

Fun-ass movie weekend. THE WEDDING BANQUET: 4/5 cozy flannels MISERICORDIA: 4/5 wild mushrooms DEAD MAIL: 3.5/5 tubes of epoxy glue (despite ripping my heart out with a narrative choice ~20 minutes in) A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE: 3/5 boxes of old pizza #FilmSky

Five romance movies to get to know me: Before Sunrise The Apartment Moonstruck Sleepless in Seattle Jerry Maguire

Glad-dad Tuesday last night with Bob Mould *and* Craig Finn, in a *barn*. #MusicSky

Mostly rewatches this weekend, though I did sneak out to see this aggressively cozy little killer. Hell yeah. THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND: 4/5 bags of rice #FilmSky

Been a solid, if unspectacular, run of movies lately. BOB TREVINO LIKES IT: A proper hug. 3/5 cups of coffee EEPHUS: A vibe, through and through. 4/5 Narragansett beers BLACK BAG: Damn, Cate. 4/5 terrible dinner parties MICKEY 17: Fun enough. 3.5/5 also terrible dinner parties? #FilmSky

Post a fictional character who you think would be an antivaxxer. Hard mode: No villains

Hack for coping with the current state of things: Go a few hundred feet underground, without cell service, at Mammoth Cave National Park. Stunning, humbling shit.

Solid movie weekend, which always makes me happy. MadS: Hell yeah. 4/5 D.A.R.E. t-shirts I’M STILL HERE: Chilling. 4.5/5 soufflés CONCLAVE: Catty. 3.5/5 THE MONKEY: Sure I’d love it, but just could not get on its wavelength. 2.5/5 realtor business cards #FilmSky

As my son has aged into his teen years, I feel a little obsolete in all the normal ways. These fleeting moments of being needed are precious.

Another great night clocking in for THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM and Poe-inspired short THE CONQUEROR WORM, all as part of Late Shift at the Grindhouse, at @icfilmscene.bsky.social (with the inimitable @valetiowa.bsky.social). #FilmSky

This week’s movie I love that I fear will be, or already has been, forgotten. #FilmSky

Saw a couple unremarkable movies over the weekend, but I’ll focus on the positive: MOLOCH, which has been on my list a long while, was terrific. The sound, the look, the mood (dark, but artfully leavened). And that central performance by Sallie Harmsen. 4.5/5 sinister peat bogs. #FilmSky

What is the coolest shot in movies? #filmsky

Oh! Sweet Nuthin’

This week’s movie I love that I fear will be, or already is, forgotten. #FilmSky

Calm down, Home Depot.

Two incredible watches this weekend. Saulnier does not miss; 4.5/5 dashboard cams. HIS THREE DAUGHTERS wrecked me in that final act; 5/5 bags of rotten apples. #FilmSky

Oh, is there a nachos-ball today? (Go, Eagles!)

Simple hack for feeling better about everything for a couple hours: Go catch an open-mic night, organized and hosted by the local high-schoolers. My son got to play some guitar on stage with some friends. Whole thing was done to raise funds for Shelter House, in Iowa City. Shit yes, kids.

Hell yeah, Friday. #NowPlaying
