Thinking of doing a minimalist podcast. 5 films no real connection my thoughts no script no interaction no aims just a way to vent maybe something comes out of it

The way in which gringos are obsessed with 2666 is so funny to me. Wait until they hear about Pedro Paramo! (They won’t)

Apparently there’s a new Magic movie coming out this May. : )

This is the kind of message that makes me keep going. Hope you're enjoying the diaries. ruizdiaries.substack.com Donate if you can, it's for a good cause.

Christ, imagine having any aspect of your life restricted by someone who thinks using “spicy” as a euphemism avoids embarrassment. “The court has found you guilty of spicy conduct and sentences you to unalivement by icky squad :3”Humiliating

Say “spicy” in a courtroom. Go ahead, I fucking dare you. Fucking pathetic infantile shit.

Most of us wouldn’t be here without sex and it’s an important part of many people’s lives. It can be fun, holy, intimate, profane, trivial, or traumatic. It has as much a right to be in our art as any other human experience, even if you suspect someone is cranking hog to it. Yes even porn. Grow up.

Amazing news.

"The Greatest Comic Character Of All Time Is J. Wellington Wimpy," by Tom Spurgeon www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/br...

I need to become some sort of millionaire so I can buy Magic cards without thinking that I’m dying inside.

We won’t be celebrating May The 4th Be With You- Not until Disney puts jizz back into the Star Wars films.

Dang, Patreon is more complicated than I thought. I'm glad I never considered it for the Diaries.

For my personal essay series I wrote about loving DONNIE DARKO as a teenager, being on Lexapro, and the alluring romantic pull of dark sentiments about growing up. www.patreon.com/posts/157369...

I used to have an order (pre-2020) of the films that I wanted to watch and I used to rotate. I'd do like a film from the 1001 TSPDT list. Then one from the 21st century. Then one from the director I was binging. Then one from a project I was doing. Then a Horror film, a Japanese film and Anime.

Turns out Johnnie To meeting Detective Conan is all I ever wanted.

It's incorrect to say Hasbro/WotC hired Fisher Phillips "in response" to the union announcement. A retaliatory firing case filed in November 2025 lists the firm as a respondent. www.nlrb.gov/case/19-CA-3... Stay animated, but please also stay properly informed!

MESSAGE TO POPE LEO YOUR SOFT…. I’M NOT.

Hello World, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We the workers of the Magic: The Gathering Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA! 🧵 unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/announcing-united-wizards-coast-cwa

Aristarain was one of the greats of Latin America. Tiempo de revancha is essential.

Enter the Dragon is like if a fighting game movie was good

I’m starting to take issue with all those writing teachers who tell people to “write what you know.” Because not everything you know is necessarily interesting to anyone else.

Yo FLC just announced the largest American festival of restorations of 70s Korean movies in... history? This is major, you have to go. So many strange and beautiful films, a lot I haven't seen.

They’re showing Donnie Darko in theaters for the 25th anniversary since last week here in Chile and for some reason I didn’t know about it. I’ve been so out of the loop that I’m mad at myself. It’s my favorite film of all time.

The weird thing about metal culture is that it certainly isn’t a monolith. Here every metal fan is a fascist piece of shit who loves Pinochet for some reason.

One small task

You may not know @taskmaster.tv. It's hilarious & joyful. I begged to do it, worked out my schedule a year ahead of time to make it happen & got to do the best show on TV w/ the loveliest ppl. Ep 1 is out &, trust me, you need this joy. All seasons free on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRfH...

If you think you hate AI, I promise you don't hate it enough.

From this day in 2021: My nephews were curious about Final Fantasy after seeing a Moogle I drew and I described Chocobos as looking "kind of like Big Bird" so then I had to draw it.

Crying as sport.

Happy Easter! youtu.be/drjQfQtv2BQ?...

Raúl Ruiz filmando Palomita Blanca (1972/3)

I might want to start writing about something again, now that I am, you know, unemployed once again. I would love to write about games, film or literature. I have to find the voice again.

Got fired. Send emojis.

Magic the gathering players be like:

I wonder what card is this.

I want to play TMNT draft or sealed.

It’s Akira Kurosawa’s birthday. This is what it’s all about.

If you're a filmmaker and you retweet fan accounts I'm not going to take you seriously! if you're wondering who I'm talking about, it's Jane Schoenbrun

Morning filled with bad omens.

I wish I had the mental and writing capabilities to be able to write about the things that I enjoy these days, which is mostly books, Youtube videos, short films and Magic: the Gathering. But, who even cares at this point?

There’s been like 7 jet planes flying over the city and I’m getting nervous.
