Hey folks! Normally I’d publish another newsletter today, about 1988 recommendations, but I have a couple projects coming due (including a DC for I GET WET) that I need to focus on. So maybe next week? Although there’s a possibility we won’t see another until we’re well out of July.

This was no boat accident.

RIP Kjell Nilsson, one of the most iconic movie villains of all time. “Just walk away.”

Does JAWS feature a couple of numbers by Sparks? No, it does not. Advantage: ROLLERCOASTER.

Hey, if you’re watching JAWS for the 1st or 100th time, here’s a little thing I wrote a year ago about the end credits: againstthe70s.blot.im/jaws-1975-st...

Just because you hate the United States doesn’t mean you can’t have hot dogs and watch Jaws today.

Great moments in U.S. History.

Anyone with a New Yorker subscription wanna help a girl out with something?

GET TO THE “WORKIN' OVERTIME” PART

This is a great thread, especially for Lux Interior & Poison Ivy before The Cramps, and discovering that Ronnie James Dio once looked like the handsome male lead in a 50s Roger Corman movie.

Happy 4th of July! Here's an unrelated image!

*Lisbon, ND resident seeing another theater in a different town* Getting a lot of Scenic Theater vibes from this...

My deranged billionaire project would be to bring back the Marvel Movie Specials but for movies like May December (2023).

The dragon from DRAGONSLAYER (1981), or at least its head and neck Upon returning home after seeing the movie in the theater when it came out, my five-year-old sister and I were so hyped up that we started jumping up and down on my bed and ended up breaking it

My daughter is doing this artfight thing and she’s trying to explain it to me and my god I have never felt more old.

If buying isn’t ownership, piracy isn’t theft

I value my neck a lot more than $3,000, Chief.

good morning, @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social voters! today’s match is between The Coup and Sparklehorse. Video-wise, The Coup brings radical Schoolhouse Rock and Sparklehorse teaches us a lesson in empathy (and not making direct eye contact with strangers unless you want to swap lives with them)

We have one Designated Cheerleader today, it’s for PARTY MUSIC, and it’s from @renamj.bsky.social. Take it away, Rena!

GIRLS CAN TELL defeats LET IT COME DOWN, 125-72.
