Soderbergh absolutely tracks but Cera is so funny to me. (No disrespect to him but I was surprised.)

I’m in a situation where the Jimmy Fallon Christmas radio station is playing and can report that it’s an assault on good sense and taste.

Hat patch bar. Words I never thought would exist together. I ❤️ U Philly.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely. youtu.be/R9XN1iOungs?...

This purchase felt a little unhinged last year but now I’m grateful to have it. It’s still available in case anyone needs one…

Screaming crying throwing up (first time as a GenX that I’ve used that phrase but worth it) realizing that Mike and Tom Eat Snacks is back!! Yeah boyyyyyyy.

We are now in Halloween lockdown. All posts are now presumed to be about Halloween. If there is no obvious Halloween content in a post, you are to read it in your head in a Dracula accent or read it out loud in a Dracula accent, if circumstances allow.

“Capitalism is going to try to colonize and eat everything, and is trying to eat love, too. We’re falling for the propaganda of the wealthy, that love is only a thing that the wealthy can do.”

Where is Andry???? I cry for this person more than I’ve cried for members of my own family. Bless Michael for these nightly vigils.

Newest emotional support tools: -one hour sitting outside after work: reading, listening to books or podcasts -cucumber lime water in a big ass Bonne Maman jam jar - @systemcrash.info podcast -using a humidifier at night

Babe, come over, we’re whispering our frailest hopes & trampled dreams into empty After Eight wrappers & putting them back in the box

Is The Music Man *THE* Great American Musical? Some days I think it is. Some days I know it is.

Painful to see Netflix list Six Feet Under as “Retro TV.”

Costco rules.

see it: share it

Things that are keeping my head above water right now: -peanut M&Ms -Tom Holland’s Umbrella -constant cups of tea For your health: m.youtube.com/watch?v=jPCJ...

1. The Philadelphia Inquirer isn't owned by a cowardly and conflicted billionaire, but a nonprofit foundation. In 2024, we tackled the "The Trump Threat" of authoritarianism head on, with more than 40 hard-hitting editorials. Many of you took notice, and now, so did the prestigious Poynter Institute

This sounds post-apocalyptic, but aspiring filmmakers and writers really should find and collect DVD commentaries. So much applicable advice you’d never get in film school because it was discovered in the circumstances of making that movie. Big cultural step backward to lose easy access to these.

Without downloading any pics, where are you mentally?

Newest addition to my collection of old screenwriting and Hollywood history. (Bonus points if someone can ID the names in the Christmas Gift note.)

Anyone who grew up in Philly or South Jersey will get an incredible jolt after pressing play on this.

Evergreen.

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple

We wanted to watch a movie that wasn't free on streaming, then I remembered I still had my DVD from college. That must be what making a good financial investment feels like.

I just spite-bought the book.

Ok so I have never been there but this is shockingly close to the set-up and view of a place that recurs in my dreams. Sufficiently freaked out now.

I like the contrast of smokin hot ladies and corn fed amiable Midwest boys.

Reminder that they are definitely coming for the libraries. Continue to use libraries while you still can but I highly encourage *everyone* to buy as many books as you can for your personal collection. Lots of cheap used books: thrift shops, eBay, thriftbooks.com.

A tiny bit of joy to put a dent into all the bad shit.

Hear me out on this idea I got upon seeing this photo: Anne Hathaway in a Liza biopic.

Was briefly confused over the news that Southwest Airlines will now charge bag fees…until I learned that a hedge fund took a $2bil stake last year. Private equity being involved makes perfect sense now. Greed will destroy everything.

We can upload 3 minute videos now. YOU KNOW THE RULE

PSA: did you know you can pre-order many new books from www.thriftbooks.com? They are an independent used bookseller that has so many good deals on used, but also have new including pre-orders, usually for less $$ than at the bad place.

Me preparing myself to watch another episode of The Pitt

George Orwell, 1984

Francis Coppola on his Razzie award nominations should be the thing that that finally kills the stupid Razzies out of shame and embarrassment.

Hackman - obviously an ATG, too many amazing performances to choose from. But this is my favourite moment from him, the clearest demonstration of his range, talent and genius - from THE BIRDCAGE, one of the funniest monologues I’ve ever heard. I cry with laughter every time

Need a little inspiration? Jane Fonda's barnburner of a SAG Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech is on Netflix. Go to the SAG Awards and jump to about 1:05:00.

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

watched some reacher on the treadmill today and i do love that we have a whole franchise whose central premise is “what if a man were really big”

I was already a subscriber but just happily paid. I am grateful for the essential work Brian Merchant is doing.

Awake early and way too angry, so I’m doing what any reasonable person would do: watching La Dolce Villa on Netflix and eating peanut M&Ms for breakfast.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Books are one of the few things keeping me above water right now. Can’t get enough of ‘em.

A great night for haters everywhere!!

The whole Superdome yelling “A Minor”…maybe good still can triumph.

We as a nation are over-exposed to Gronk.

It’s like shalom and aloha
