It is the birthday of the author who wrote, “Every first draft is perfect, because all a first draft has to do is exist.” American writer Jane Smiley was born on this day in 1949. #BookSky #WriterSky #BOTD

The only rapture that matters

Happy catterday to all the mini panthers out there 😸

Release Mandy on 4k, you cowards

Interesting to see if this one gets the protection usually afforded to Banksy works

I did like this one quite a bit, though it's one of Cronenberg's more talk-y films. Interesting concept and strong performances. 📽

“Do it. I think everybody can sing. People who say they can’t are full of shit.” -Lanegan

Its finally here and maybe my favorite packaging ever- the sparkling sand at the bottom does a snow globe-like effect. 4k comes with a reprint of the comic and an extended copy of the documentary that Arrow couldn't deliver on. From AU to WI! #Dune #DavidLynch 📽

Some of the best writing on Hansen that I've seen, and also on TCM's grim vision of America in it's death throes. 📽

Seriously, re: the DOJ guy who yelled at some pigs before he whipped a sub at them... that's a legendary felony.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

It's still Bandcamp Friday.

A couple shots of the (wip) Peaks/Lynch wall in my office. There are six Lynch prints in there, though I really love the unique stuff from @gregthings.bsky.social and also just got a signed grail print from Beymer's set photos that I'm thrilled about. #TwinPeaks #DavidLynch #Art

Poorhouse Paramount gave Matt & Trey 1.5B and immediately they put out an AI vid of Trump wandering the desert naked, with small (talking) genitals. #SouthPark HeTrumpedUs.com

Welp, today is fucked 🤟👿

CBS & Paramount, hot off the first self own of just giving a felon tons of money for no real reason, have decided to cancel the Late Show for pointing out the payoff. What a bunch of morons and cowards in charge... never subscribing again.

Bold choice going with 50-ish Guy Gardner (still rocking the bowl cut!) as the entry point for Green Lanterns in the new DCU. I'm excited to see this movie with the 6 yr. old after lunch today- I think Gunn is one of the most consistent superhero directors there is, he gets it.

This is a great deal and, I believe, includes the two 4k episodes (so far) also. One suspects Janus/Criterion will eventually get around to whatever they're doing, but in the meantime this is definitive.

Just a PSA that Cronenberg's new film "The Shrouds" is on Criterion Channel as of today. 📽

TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus is an affordable tablet with a matte screen that can simulate color/b&w e-ink at the press of a button. Got one recently and I really like it. Also been using the Steam Deck Oled since release, paired with GeForce Now Ultimate- it's pretty much the greatest handheld ever imo.

If you're in the market, you've got until 9/30 to spite the gop. Equinox EV is a great car and not pricey with the incentive.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The painful truth.

It's a national shame the bill was even proposed, and it'll be a disaster for just about everyone.

Criterion 4k also dropping soon. I need a new album! 🤘

This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination. The film is called I Am Frankelda, and we've taken a deep look into how it came to be: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-a...

Every citizen of this country, every real patriot, needs to get loud about this now.

Thanks to some mat help from my sister, was finally able to frame my #CliveBarker art cards from the Imaginer series. #Art

Really poignant piece of street art from artist TopZ out of Seattle!

Another beautiful day here in WI where we're not supposed to breathe outside because Canada is on fire. Meanwhile this dipshit budget bill is going to tax EV owners.

A flawed movie perhaps, but great in many ways. This is some of the coolest packaging I've ever seen, only 1,500 made. #Dune #DavidLynch 📽
