Another thing is this, as I'm sure a lot of you know: there are few movies that are harder to write about than the ones you love without reservation.

Things I have heard today: "No one has heard of HEAT" "No one knows who Val Kilmer is" "Pirates of the Caribbean is objectively a great work of film" "The 2000s were the Golden Age of Cinema" Do I need something stronger than water after work? I'm thinking I might.

Having some real issues with men rn. Even in my Korean class where we’re supposed to ALL be learning? I got paired up with some dude who was rudely correcting me, talking OVER me, interrupting me & didn’t listen when I said: I’m not good w/the number system. Will you plz be patient with me? WTF.

Y’know, I’m not against men writing about the women’s experience. I’m really not. But when they do it so poorly so often it just makes me want to fight people on the internet and I HATE that. It’s sooooo early 2000s.

When I was a kid and I heard Raspberry Beret, I never knew that it would be part of my adulthood’s survival method of getting through various crises.

I'll keep it simple: More professors in the United States have been fired for controversial views in the past week than any other week in all of American history.

It’s raining really hard right now. It barely rained all summer which was…odd. So I guess my new look is going to be Wet Rat because I did not bring an umbrella to the bar.

I think I’m done trying to study

I don't recall St. Paul saying that black women lacked the brain capacity for jobs that should go to white men, but perhaps the Cardinal is working from a different Bible.

I forgot how hard Korean is but BOY am I being reminded 😵‍💫

I also really wish I was at the Busan Film Festival right now because that would really make me happy. This woulda been the year to go for me... :'(

So I really don't have many US friends here in SK, I realized. UK, Canada, Europe, Australia...Yeah. And the ones I do? They've been here for 20 yrs or something so...they're basically Korean. So I'm not sure how to feel abt that & not sure who to talk to abt my feelings right now. Cuz I have some.

Korean class was…difficult today. Number systems and days/dates are my weakest area. But I guess if you know your weakest area, you know what to focus on the most?

This may be the greatest @newbeverly.bsky.social double feature ever

Another great picture of my Nana ❤️

My nana was nominated for some kind of Emmy on this day in 1978 but Rita Moreno won. She’s the lady in the middle!!

Can't believe this made me write my first blog post in *ages.* It's not good and it's not long. It's mostly a rant w/historical pix. But if you wanna check it, here it is: moviesaremyboyfriend.com/2025/09/17/n...

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

I’m so glad my grandparents aren’t alive to see all this.

post a horror movie everybody should see

Jimmy Fallon as the last late-night host standing is truly the kind of dire shit you hope the graphic novel memoirs don't leave out in 30 years

if kimmel is edgy we are so fucked

Also, I have a genuine love for the film of INSIDE DAISY CLOVER. The book is magnificent and the film really works the story into the visual arena beautifully.

Songwriting is such a fascinating skill because someone else can sing your words but an audience can still hear your voice. Re: Sinead/Prince

Love to see it. Talk about a country that knows about human rights abuse. Don’t mess with SK.

In other news, I really need to rewatch The Natural.

I made it to class late but I’m soaking wet because it’s raining so hard. Literally had to wring out my hair when I got here.

I really gotta fit in a revisit to THE HOT ROCK tomorrow.

If you've never seen Robert Redford's QUIZ SHOW, you definitely should. Top-notch screenplay by Paul Attanasio, killer performances, more topical than ever.

And I got home to Wallach having decided to bite open a plastic bag of protein powder I use for smoothies and it’s showered my nightstand. Because cats are monsters at the most inopportune moments. Geez, cat, read the room.

They worked on so many of the same tv shows. I wonder if my Nana ever met Redford.

Man, Robert Redford. RIP. A legend. And someone who's come up several times in my Rod Serling bio research. He starred in the very last episode of Playhouse 90, "In the Presence of Mine Enemies," and played Death in a beautiful Twilight Zone episode, "Nothing in the Dark."

😢

These movies are so good and so fun!!!! I want this set!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Got interviewed by a newspaper on something that happened here in Seoul as a result of The Recent News. www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/p...

Today’s weather and I’m about to walk to work. Blargh.

Drop some eyes

Last night I learned the final line in the intro of Let's Go Crazy by Prince is "punch a higher floor." I've been singing it wrong for 40 years.

I don’t really know what to say anymore. Leaving the US was the best choice I ever made except that I want to see/hug/hold my loved ones a lot bc apparently that was my trade-off. Healthcare & relative peace of mind for…loneliness. Doesn’t seem quite fair. But that’s how it crumbles, cookie-wise.

It has been this stupid before. It will be this stupid again.

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky.

Giving up on this day and starting a therapeutic double feature of AMADEUS and PURPLE RAIN. 🎥 #filmsky

Just gonna do this for a while. Orange purrbeast.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Prince 2. Billy Wilder 3. Someone telling you nice/positive things tailored specifically to YOU 4. Cat snuggling 5. A nice sleep in a big hotel bed

I'm very aware of the world burning around us, but I am also holding space to focus on and talk about the stuff I love, because I refuse to let those holding the matches burn that away too.

having a cat is like "sorry, I can't do anything right now. I've got a little guy on me."

The deadline for article proposals and art samples is a little over two weeks away! Please consider submitting to the inaugural issue of Crossroads. We're so excited about the pitches we've already received!

B&W movies are the best movies A Colt is My Passport (Takashi Nomora, 1967) Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) The Housemaid (Kim Ki-young, 1960) Burning Mountain (Kim Soo-yong, 1967)
