happy 25th to PJ Harvey’s Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea, one of the best albums of whatever century you care to place it in

Amazon Bed: The Bed that Eats Wi-fi

This is why I’ve never gotten one, I’d be dithering too much about which full-scale Boney M album cover to have across my back.

many people are saying

So lovely to chat with the wise & soulful @roxana-hadadi.bsky.social about BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER this morning. You'll hear her thoughts & others' next week on #WatchWithJen pod.

Cool story… Why Is Japan Obsessed With This OBSCURE Dinosaur Jr. Song? youtu.be/ZxkQYK0ovFM?...

Saw this as part of an all-night horrorfest the year it came out. Gnarly practical effects, early Shea Whigham, overcomes the cliched concept. What else do you need??

the boy is home from school today and he wanted to watch GHOSTBUSTERS and so we’re watching ghostbusters. a few thoughts. i have not watched this in a minute and have kind of forgotten how (charmingly) shaggy this movie this is. also, hello annie potts 👀 and a special hello to sigourney weaver 👀👀

"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad! www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

ngl i might risk it all for dead-eyed, home-invading young Shirley Manson

Kels and I are off to Japan tomorrow! First time for the both of us. Any tips and food/restaurant recommendations appreciated! We’ll be in Osaka and Tokyo and I want to eat all the ramen! Go!

The effects in Birdemic were lovingly crafted by dumb human hands.

You can never see often enough that Vanity Fair cover where DK shines in her own outfit

Terribly sad news about one of the greats. Diane Keaton has died at 79. people.com/diane-keaton...

On this October @bandcamp.com Friday, here’s your Halloween party soundtrack sorted: cinemahotelstudios.bandcamp.com/album/hallow...

No story could live up to this title, but the opening line gives a good try (from James Brubaker’s 2014 collection “Liner Notes”)

The most recent interview of Jane Goodall (RIP) I watched was a great one by *checks notes* @paulscheer.com and @robhuebel.bsky.social

Maybe the hottest 9-11/moon landing truther slate.com/human-intere...

Get stuffed, Ohio. (no kid would phrase it that way)

Another immaculately packaged delivery from @mzspress.bsky.social and @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social, the best online arts bookstore there is!

For reasons known only to him, Kaleb Horton followed me back on here. He was unflaggingly insightful and entertaining, even on something as throwaway as this recent list of “only good shows” according to an avowed non-fan of TV: kalebhorton.ghost.io/the-only-goo...

If a local theater’s showing 2001, like Tom Joad, I’ll be there.

We just lost Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale, how dare we besmirch them further.

Name a better non-sexual foursome

I watched “Girl with a Suitcase” recently. Even that early, she brought a mix of Bardot & Magnani vibes. Just one of the great on-screen presences.

I didn’t actually mind the sequel, but this might singlehandedly be better than Spinal Tap 2. youtu.be/eOALVpbdwOY?...

We’ll see how many fucks Jimmy has left to give

No regrets on going a bit ham on the recent Taschen sale

After some discussion with Jene, I'm finally posting a Gofundme to help us with Sandwiches' vet bills. Our baby has been having more bad days lately so we have to start thinking about at-home euthanasia. Any help would be greatly appreciated: www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-pa...

Underrated late-era Redford performance: THE OLD MAN & THE GUN. The kind of thing a real movie star makes look easy.

Got a delivery notice I didn’t expect, but was delighted to find my @willsloanesq.bsky.social preorder had arrived!

🎃 Here it is, this year’s list of spooky options! 10 spots, $175 each, first come first served! (I *may* be open to a suggestion, but I’d love to stick to what’s here.) DM me to claim your film! 🎃

Who else is going to the theater for SpinalAbbey this weekend??
