Define "Perfect Ending"

Do what you want cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!

We've reached that extremely fun time of year where everyone else is wearing jackets and scarfs and I can't yet be bothered to put on a sweater. This is my restitution for suffering all summer.

Uhhh since more people are here now, I put out a very personal video essay on I Saw the TV Glow and my childhood growing up trans. If you missed it on twitter, it is probably because they deprioritize links BUT THEY DONT HERE SOOOOO

This episode isn't a whole downer, we do have some good bits too, but man, this movie is pretty heavy huh? Anyway, here's the Spotify link for those who prefer Spotify. open.spotify.com/episode/3PIc...

The newest episode of the Biggest Night in Podcasting is up on youtube and spotify. I'm joined by @demisemme.bsky.social and @cutiepuppyfire.bsky.social to discuss the 1976 classic Network, a film that has remained distressingly relevant over the last half century youtu.be/BiZf25Jdcv4?...

juno is an extremely talented writer who works hard as hell. help her out.

What people with privilege mean when they talk about how we all need to "Find respect" is, inevitably, "Can't you just endure your persecution quietly?" No, no we cannot. If you want us to quietly coexist with Joanne, you have to find a way to stop her harming trans people. Simple as.

Me, in conversation: Asmongold does songs? Is that what he did to become famous? I'm not gonna lie, I was under the impression he was some variety of bridge troll.

One of my favorite revelations in a horror movie was realizing the villain protagonists of Tragedy Girls have no sympathetic backstory or secret motivation, they simply do not view anyone other than each other as human and have no qualms about murdering people for their own amusement. And it owned!

"Introduce yourself with one food you refuse to eat, one film you'll never watch again and one song you can't stand" Food: I once tried jarred gefilte fish. Inedible. And I like gefilte fish! Film: Whichever one of the August Undergrounds I saw. Song: Fuckin Perfect by P!nk. I will not elaborate.

After a slight unexpected hiatus we are BACK! Come join @cutiepuppyfire.bsky.social , @elessar42.bsky.social , and Charley talk about Amelie www.buzzsprout.com/2402540/epis...

Been watching a lot of movies lately, and I mean that as a positive. #LastFourWatched

Make a movie better by adding "John Carpenter's" to the title. John Carpenter's KPop Demon Hunters

It might be recency bias and all that, but I really feel like Forever is a Feeling by Lucy Dacus is one of her best albums and a lot of my favorite songs on it are about Julien Baker (Most Wanted Man, Best Guess and Ankles in particular)

I feel like we've gotten pretty numb to Trump and co's insane shit, so it's good to remember that these words are coming out of the mouth of like, the head of HHS and not a bizarre conspiracy blog written with no paragraph breaks in the dark corners of the internet.

The fact that Life of a Showgirl was recorded between shows on tour makes me want to find a thematic throughline to compare it to The Fall, the Gorrillaz album Damon Albarn made while on his iPad while on tour, but I feel like I'm not clued enough to Taylor Swift and I'll come off as dismissive.

The most important political thread of our time.

Oh movie podcast no one listens to, we're really in it now.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

D&D out of Context: "As long as we're saying plan "Burn down the swamp" is off the table then yes, let's summon the elk."

Alright, let's go see Anemone

Gonna walk into a Catholic Church in the middle of mass, shout "ALL THOSE SAINTS ARE JUST YOU GUYS REINVENTING POLYTHEISM!" and run out to the curb where I left the car running.

You'd think the wide variety of hot people lining up to try and get with me would eventually convince my brain that I'm hot, or at least have something going on, but no, it remains steadfast in its position, and I don't know how to fix this.

Honestly, I was kind of nervous about this recording, since this movie is kinda slippery to talk about, but we ended up having a really great discussion, I'm excited for people to get to hear it. And the Spotify link is here, for those of you who prefer spotify. open.spotify.com/episode/11eO...

The latest episode of The Biggest Night in Podcasting is up on youtube and spotify. I got to talk about Around the World in Eighty Days with @faeriviera.bsky.social and my good friend Todd, a movie that we can definitely understand why it won Best Picture. youtu.be/iIOZH9gAHwI?...

Truly chilling.

My writing career summed up in one image

Me, in conversation at work: Stop telling people to throw stuff into the Hudson! God!

Pete Hegseth really is the avatar of our current era. Viciously bigoted in ways too numerous and incoherent to explain. Utterly without merit, but convinced of his own superiority. Cruel and stupid and paranoid down to the bone. He is 2025 in America made horrible horrible flesh.

"Yeah, well, you performed at the Riyadh Comedy Festival" is a card you can play against quite a few unfunny hacks moving forward

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we're really gonna need to have some equivalent of the Nuremberg trials for a lot of these people when this is over. I cannot countenance existing in a society where this kind of consistent systemic cruelty exists and no one is made to answer for it.

I am fascinated by this brand of AI video, it honestly haunts me. The invocation of 2002 Wal-Mart as a spot of nostalgia genuinely makes me feel like I'm losing my mind. Not home, not a local store, not even a chain that's gone out of business like Blockbuster. Wal-Mart. But like, in 2002.

Xandy: The label on this yarn says it feels like a dream, does it feel like a dream to you? Me: What does "Feels like a dream" mean? I dream about Nemesis from Hades 2's abs, but it doesn't feel like that.

Alright, let's go see One Battle After Another.

Remember how lefties used to say "abolish ICE" back in the 2010s, and got roundly scolded by the centrists for it ever since, and now events have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were 1000% on the correct side of history, but somehow they're still being scolded? Fun.

I have, as of today, finished painting 101 Warhammer or Middle-Earth models in 2025. I remember when I used to struggle to finish like, 20 in a year, I feel like I've come a long way.

It sure is fun that the right wing political class is full of some of the most viciously evil humans on earth, it's a good time.

Not a big change from my last #LetterboxdFriday but I am excited to see One Battle After Another tomorrow, and maybe just throw on a movie this weekend.

BREAKING: finally

Is Chris Claemont a himedanshi?

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

A film about a 50 year old autistic man came out in 1988. It was the highest grossing film of 1988 and won 4 Oscars, including Best Picture.
