Rizzo the Rat, existentialist philosopher (Muppet Treasure Island, 1996, dir. Brian Henson).

Another outstanding recommendation from @purecinemapod.bsky.social (@elrickane.bsky.social specifically). If you want an all-killer-no-filler heist noir thriller, I HIGHLY encourage you to seek out 'Plunder Road' (1957, dir. Hubert Cornfield).

Me, trying to say awake past midnight while sitting in my chair, watching a movie...

The only thing my dad wants for Christmas is the chance to beat the shit out of Pete Hegseth. Any other gift would be hollow and disappointing.

Just pondering my Counter Monkey picks for comics of the week! Batman / Green Arrow / The Question: Arcadia #1 by @gabrielhardman.bsky.social, Romulo Fajardo Jr., and Simon Bowland; Absolute Wonder Woman #14 by @kellythompson.bsky.social, @matiasbergara.bsky.social, Jordie Bellaire, and (1/2)

America right now: "what do you mean the CIA-trained secret operative who had been threatened to be shipped back to the country he helped overthrow by the very country who promised him sanctuary was... unstable?! I find that SHOCKING!"

On another Zebras in Eschaton crossover, Scott and I are joined by the wonderful @pinnlandempire.bsky.social to discuss Jim Jarmusch's GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI! We talk the conjunction of samurai and hip-hop on screen and the preservation of ancient codes! m.soundcloud.com/zebras-in-am...

Nobody hates war like a band of death metal-playing Ukranians writing songs about World War I. 🤘 x1914x.bandcamp.com/track/1916-t...

Just thinkin' about what would be on Abbess Hildegard of Bingen's (1098-1179) playlist if she were alive today...

Rosalia's LUX is a legitimately adventurous, challenging, and diverse work of art, so how did it become an international pop sensation? On @noahandbillshow.bsky.social, @billscurry.bsky.social and @noahtarnow.bsky.social investigate this multilingual music phenom! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

The wonderful Isaach de Bankolé and his encounters with children and chocolate... (Chocolat, 1988, dir. Claire Denis / Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, 1999, dir. Jim Jarmusch).

If there are multiple people in a country that forgo going to work because they can't afford child care because that work wouldn't be worth having to pay the exorbitant costs of protecting their child, that country needs to either 1. Institute free child care, or 2. Institute Universal Basic Income.

Prog metal song titles are like "The Andromedan Curriculum, Part 4: The Astral Alchemist's Gold," and death metal songs are like "Fucked With a Gut Condom." ♥️

Sure, I talk (incessantly) about Martin Scorsese, I read about Andrei Tarkovsky and Jim Jarmusch, but what do I WATCH? (1987, dir. Sam Firstenberg)

🖤🖤🖤 Happy Birthday, KARLOFF! 🖤🖤🖤

AMC: "HEY! We are showing Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair this month! See it at your local AMC Theater!" Also AMC: "no showtimes available in your area." You track me, you know where I live, why the fuck are you bothering me with a movie you're not even going to screen within 50 miles of me?

Hey, uh, are we in hell?

Me? Oh, just casually throwing on an 83-minute doom metal song about our insignificance before the unfathomable infinitude of time... bellwitch.bandcamp.com/album/future...

Put me in charge of the Louvre so that, any time there is a theft or an item has to be taken down from display for any reason, I can have this image of Savatage guitarist Criss Oliva from the "Hall of the Mountain King" music video put up in its place.

This is pinnacle black metal photography. A sword raised in triumph (rather than in introspective misery), framed by the illuminated stained glass windows, revealing a barely lit church interior. Despite the light without, there is only the darkness of night within, highlighting the subject (1/2)

Marty, throwing fucking bars in 'Mr. Scorsese' (2025, dir. Rebecca Miller).

My favorite "insane thing RFK Jr. has said" is when he claimed that autism would prevent kids from playing baseball. Motherfucker, ask someone to explain out loud what the infield fly rule is, and tell me it doesn't sound like a game made by autistic people for autistic people. It's the best.
