Went to an open mic variety show at my son’s college last night and a kid did a Rodney Dangerfield impression (“Does anyone know who Rodney Dangerfield is?” he asked and me and two other people clapped). Also two boys in monk costumes covered “I Wanna Be Sedated.” The kids are alright.

I'm pretty fuckin far from okay

American cinema in the early '60s loved introducing us to Tippies

Faith-based Angel Studios made a Hershey founder biopic but I'm not sure how historically accurate it is

Had a voiceover audition to be the voice of a parrot on a TV commercial and the producer notes said "we need to intuitively believe this voice is a parrot" and that the parrot should have an "optimistic tone." An optimistic parrot. I did my best.

One of my wife's anniversary gifts to me was Piper Laurie's memoir. The woman knows who she married.

At a restaurant with family and “Money” came on as background music and as soon as the coins sound effect intro started my wife’s 10-year-old niece said “Uh-oh, Pink Floyd’s comin’!” The child’s grasp of classic rock gives me hope for the future.

My flight got pushed back. Any suggestions what I can do during the extra time?

I’m gonna keep on eating at

I haven't seen a single commenter or article point out that Tennessee Representative Aftyn Behn's name is very similar to the 17th century British woman playwright Aphra Behn. Do I have to do everything around here?

"But they're sweet things. And in the spring, it's touching to notice them making their first discovery of love. As if nobody had ever known it before." -Blanche DuBois, "A Streetcar Named Desire"

News: I scrambled eggs in a wok with a metal handle and accidentally left the burner on and an hour later when I picked up the wok to wash it, the handle burnt my fucking hand and I *shrieked* and dropped the wok on the floor with a clang. Real life Dr. Venture moment, sorry you missed it.

Great way to put it. One of my Top 10 movies, probably Top 5.

Young man, there's no need to feel down

Happy 83rd to Mr. Scorsese

Wow, had no idea this existed. A 1948 radio show about A Streetcar Named Desire winning the Drama Critics Circle Award featuring scenes performed by the original Broadway cast including Jessica Tandy as Blanche. Tantalizing and invaluable glimpse at how she played it. youtu.be/wmpjP-ZKDvg?...

@isaacbutler.bsky.social Wheeee!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

DONALD TRUMP'S COMPLETE LIST OF DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVES WHO CREATED THE HOAX "EPSTEIN FILES"

Richard Foreman, 1937-2025. Working with him was a life changer. Goodnight, ornery prince.

Hey if you’re in or near LA, come see me in my first play in 12 years- BRUSHSTROKE by John Ross Bowie, a dark comedy about art & espionage set in 1950s NYC! Thru March 3rd at the Odyssey Theatre. Tix: TinyURL.com/BrushstrokeInLA. It’s a blast!

Had a dream last night where I interacted with both Parker Posey and Joan Blondell, extremely on brand.

Norman Fell was our greatest Vice President

That underlooked gem CUTTER'S WAY (Ivan Passer, '81) is back on Criterion Channel. One of the BEST of the '60s-generation-taking-stock-of-themselves-in-the-post-Nam-era genre. Brilliant performances including Jeff Bridges suggesting a yuppified version of the Dude before he went to seed. A must see!

Hi, wrapping my head around just learning that Judy Holliday and Patricia Highsmith went to high school together and were good friends

Turn ons: Old movies, long walks on the beach, data scraping

Is it just me or does Jack Smith have kind of a Jack Smith thing going on?
