I worked at a public library all through high school in the early 2000s, and I saw more and better movies that way than via most streaming services.

So I’m usually not this blunt, but like, what the fuck is wrong with this guy

Dipping into the @secondsightfilms.bsky.social NICE GUYS release. Delightful commentary with Shane Black and Anthony Bagarozzi plus the self-described “over-prepared” @priscillapage.bsky.social, esp about its origins as TV and literary/cinematic influences.

Got the afternoon sorted, about to see a Bill about a kill.

Daily bunny no.3156 can give you some recommendations

Well yeah, there’s a bunch of sticks with some hair around them at the ready if she hadn’t won.

I spent most November viewings on @docnycfest.bsky.social’s streaming options, and here are some recommendations: - THE EYES OF GHANA - HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY - MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN - PREDATORS - TCB: THE TONI CADE BAMBARA SCHOOL OF ADVERTISING - TRUE NORTH - WTO/99

Four decades on, Juzo Itami's "Tampopo" remains unsurpassed as a wicked and delicious social commentary on Japanese society told through the lens of food. 👉 ebx.sh/pC51Lw

This list sucks so badly that it’s almost not worth commenting on at all, but I’m just going to say that as a rule any global “best comedy movies of all time” that doesn’t include Kung Fu Hustle, a single Jackie Chan movie or *any other film from Asia* is obvious bullshit variety.com/lists/best-c...

Aw, RIP Udo :-(

LET THE BIBLES HIT THE FLOOR

The Late Show Commercial Breakdown with Pete Townshend - “Let My Love Open the Door”

I’m just getting to the news now, but they’re calling it the second most famous blowjob ever in the Oval Office??!

there are 4 types of guys online. No exceptions

The four words every mujer wants to escuchar

When Leo speaks “ex cinephilia,” you’re obliged to listen

I went to a Slamdance screening in 2006 of a dramedy called NEO NED, starring Jeremy Renner and Gabrielle Union, but Sally Kirkland did the post-screening Q&A and charmed/shocked the hell out of the audience.

“But she said "I love you" only after he said *sound of garbage disposal on the fritz* first.”

A good distraction from *everything* would be to dip into the online @docnycfest.bsky.social going on right now through the month: www.docnyc.net/program/

You don’t usually see one religious icon acknowledge another, so it was a pleasant surprise to see AT MIDNIGHT I’LL TAKE YOUR SOUL on the list.

A lot can happen in a year, Senator Old Sheldon!

One could debate the aesthetic merits of ICP, but if they were on the presidential ballot, things would have gone seriously wrongly somewhere

Paul McCartney - Columbus 11/8 - soundcheck / show

I actually watched the 15-min version of this on Criterion Channel a month or so ago. Can’t imagine it sustaining a full feature length!

On this Godzilla Day, remember the reason for the season

It gets more and more commercial every year

Disney+ is livestreaming Treehouse of Horrors, and I caught 2015-2017. Parodies of The Exorcist, Hunger Games, and James Bond(?). Insane cameos by Sarah Silverman, Donald Fagen, William Friedkin, and the since-cancelled Mario Batali and Neil Gaiman. Still my favorite show I’ve seen the least of!

Watching The Journey a few years ago reoriented my brain youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I guess there are occasional bright spots from America’s least essential late night show. youtu.be/4ovqfMAlKG8?...

saaaaaame

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.

No Kings but one youtu.be/EQ7jDVdL5Ko?...

More marches about buildings (the White House) and food (tariffs/inflation)

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/
