throwback to one of my popular tweets lmao

I was a geek/nerd growing up, then met my wife August 2001; we started dating September 6, 2001 (I know, great timing). We've been together since then, and the majority of our house is taken over by #booktok, she was hardcore before that was an identifier. Anyway, here's a fucking job post.

Watching a movie with ads & this ad came up: “remember those old Proactiv ads that came up when you were a kid? I didn’t even know if they were still around…” They were founded in 1995, got popular after 2000 💀 👴🏻

I left the Democratic Party long ago, after enduring working on the Howard Dean campaign & supporting Bernie. They HATE us. I’ll toss D’s my vote graciously, unearned, but I’m very comfortable now calling myself a Pirate, not a Democrat. This should trouble Dems. @uspirates.bsky.social

Still pondering Klein’s earnest and clueless “where is the line??” question on who should be allowed in the democratic tent. It’s a very simple answer: the line is human rights. Nobody is calling for the expulsion of a moderate democrat who believes in a conservative fiscal policy.

Why is oral pronounced “aural” and aural is pronounced “oral”

HELLO OCTOBER!!! #RedSox

A couple years ago I (lightly, zero budget) dove into genealogy, and of all the things I discovered, the fact that OJ Simpson & Muhammad Ali were friends of my great-uncle, Buffalo NY sportswriter Phil Ranallo, is probably number one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ajh...

TIL there's a huge major comedy show in Saudi Arabia happening and also that Zach Woods remains a king

There’s just something about this image, the framing or the cinematography / texture, or whatever, but even if I had never seen SNAKE EYES, I could 100% identify it as a film directed by Brian De Palma. It’s like an echo of the last scene of BLOW OUT, and not just because of the 🇺🇸

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

Wow!

• Support Democracy and Resist • Oppose Dictatorial Power • unify and/or organize resistance with loyal leadership • Don’t allow normalizing their power and eliminated our fundamental liberal rights • large-scale protest • don’t Underestimate the Threat • Good Trouble

Honest to God, if I had one wish right now, it would be to bring my grandmother (first generation American-Italian) back to life... with a Mega Man arm cannon. It's hilarious how people think opposing fascism is an under-30 fad in 2025, when this 4'11" born in 1918 queen woulda been kicking ass.

While I'm awake after 1am and stoned & surly: is there a fucking article about the queen of bass Carol Kaye turning down her Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame invite that I can actually fucking read AND share? "Ooh, why is journalism dying?" Because it's behind a wall, you eejits. Love her so much. 🎸

THE HUNT is still streaming on @nbcpeacock.bsky.social, which is a good reason to remind everyone that I am a huge Betty Gilpin fan & would love for her to be in a movie I wrote.

If you’re wondering where my brain is lately, this is kind of the perfect picture. This isn’t the future *whatever I am* wants. Vote @uspirates.bsky.social & grow your own vegetables / cannabis. Please read the image alt text, it comes from my heart & stomach & elsewhere. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸🇮🇪🦐

Name the film #fishing

As someone who has been arrested a number of times (long story), I want to talk to the young people: If you're arrested (very briefly, 99% dismissed), that protest will be a story you carry with yourself proudly for the rest of your life. www.tiktok.com/@bigbillband...

Dear Reese Witherspoon @reesewitherspoonbr.bsky.social: I understand, but also believe we can fight bad attention spans with great art. Violet made me take her to a 3 hour 5 minute film in a language neither of us speak twice because it was so amazing. #filmsky

But with the success of JAWS and STAR WARS, the corporations demanded more of those kinds of hits. The creative folks insisted such things were unpredictable, and the business folks said let's make them less so. #screenwriting

THE GUNSLINGER ON THE BEACH (1982) Acrylic on Board - 28" x 18" The winter months of 1980-81 were tough. My wife and I became parents with the arrival of our daughter in November, and I needn't tell anyone who has children what that means in terms of lifestyle changes...like lack of sleep. 1/4

What movie do you consider perfect?

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

Liberals are so eager to shit on what they enjoy, it’s kinda weird & very much related to recent liberal political / electoral failures. Like… you don’t have to qualify your enjoyment, just praise what you dig?

Excited to reveal I landed the newsstand cover story for the October issue of Fangoria! I delve into all things Predator with director Dan Trachtenberg, ahead of November’s release of Predator: Badlands! #PREDATORBADLANDS

Watching ADOLESCENCE finally & the choice to have the Detective Inspector totally ripped wearing too-tight shirts is very interesting. Balance vs his calm soft-spoken demeanor.

🍿 Must Watch Movie 🍿 🎥

The Jaws Effect is fascinating, glad to see it being discussed @whysharksmatter.bsky.social

This is in an hour and there's still time to register

“Life is essentially sad. Happiness is sporadic. It comes in moments and that’s it. Extract the blood from every moment.” Robert Redford

Mass shooting of police officers in Pennsylvania... again. It baffles me that Erin Frein's actions & manhunt in 2014 seems to have been memoryholed. No documentaries, no books, nobody brings it up, but it fascinated me & still does. EF was an early indicator at the division in USA turning violent.

had the great privilege of speaking with Reality Winner (@reazlepuff.bsky.social) about her wonderful new memoir, life in and out of prison, and reclaiming her story after countless opportunists distorted it for their own ends: slate.com/culture/2025...

Obsessed with Victor Jones', his whole thing is fun & weird.

Worshiping at the Alter of Comics! The new books on display here went on sale from Sept. 1971 to Nov. 1971, according to the Mike's Newsstand database. So I would've been the same age as the kid here. I bought almost all of these as the were released. 1971 was a great year for comics, man.
