My train shuddered to a sudden stop because a guy at a railroad crossing “wanted to have fun” by tiptoeing near the tracks. (No one was hurt.)

Walking to the supermarket with my bestie!

Mood.

Demon kitty eyes mid Facetime call.

I find it endearing that my fellow gays in the UK — and only the UK — end many of their sentences with “x”

Two hours of Drake sending 160,000 amps into various metals with 400 car batteries.

Sometimes I miss "covfefe" Twitter. It was a different time.

Snow on top of Mt. Wilson after recent storms!

Stewie was resting his chin on my foot 🥺

Danger danger?

The striated caracara is a very cool bird.

I’m pleased to report that my neighbor’s Halloween skeleton is still doing well. He’s just a little guy.

Laura Dern cleans out the Criterion Closet and shares that she watched “Fanny and Alexander” in theaters with her grandma 🤘

Throwback to the 2010 Telluride Film Festival! I took this photo of Colin Firth and Tom Hooper right after they screened "The King's Speech.”

I watched “To Live and Die in L.A.” (1985). Willem Dafoe is so young! William Friedkin made car chases so intense. And Robby Müller knew how to light the shit out of a scene.

“This is fine.”

Joe Pantoliano is a chameleon and a very good actor. These screenshots are from “The Matrix” (1999), “The Sopranos” (2002), and “The Last of Us” (2025).

Music critic George Varga gives a compelling argument for why Mike Love must now and always be on everyone’s shit list. (It’s a great review.)

I mean, same, Stewie.

This 40-minute conversation between Stellan and Alexander Skarsgård flies by. They're so deadpan and sweet to each other!

I love visual effects breakdowns, especially when they show effects hidden in plain sight. Thanks, @tvaziri.com for sharing!

I hate this timeline

Imagine the Janice Joplin song “Me and Bobby McGee,” except whenever Janine says “Bobby McGee,” she says “Marty Supreme.” You’re welcome for this earworm.

Recent visions of Stewie 🥰

My guardian angel 🖤

God, I love “In Bruges” (2008)

Some good news in LA!

Stewie can be so spooky yet so cute.

I love movies!

Stewie and I wish y’all a happy new year!

While binge-watching season 4 of The Sopranos (2002), 18-year-old Paul Dano randomly appears, sporting a John Lennon circa Get Back-era haircut.

On rewatch, I enjoyed “One Battle After Another” even more. The acting, score, cinematography, and stunts are fantastic, and Leo and Penn are funny as hell. Certain images stick in my mind: skateboarders riding on a roof at night, silhouetted by fire below; trippy views of roads on rolling hills.

Upon rewatch, I can confirm that Die Hard is 100% a Christmas movie. Thanks for your attention to this matter etc.

It's been an intense morning in the San Gabriel Valley, what with the rain and wind and all my phone's emergency alerts. We've had a tornado warning + a severe thunderstorm warning + a flash flood warning. (Feat. Carrot Weather's super-res radar mode.)

My dad FaceTimed me as the cruise ship he was on went through the Panama Canal. Technology, man.

Stewie and I, chilling ☺️

I love Gary’s poster for Drive.

This discussion with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rian Johnson, and Nathan Johnson is fascinating and wide-ranging. They talk about their experiences growing up religious, politics, and countering companies that try to use AI to stifle filmmaking.

I’m rewatching The Sopranos. It’s great! But it also feels like a period piece much in the same way RENT is. Everyone looks 10 years older than their age would suggest; and it’s remarkable how much everyone, everywhere, smokes. (I think there’s a connection.)

“But he’s in Depeche Mode!” Man, I love the Venture Bros.

If you want to learn about Paris's Museum of Hunting and Nature, and why it's "Glauque (spooky or sinister), I'd love if you read my short blog post. maxsiegel.me/2025/12/07/g...

Stewie, while I FaceTimed with Mom and Dad this morning 🐈‍⬛

Stewie’s afternoon nap.

Anywho! The Pacific Surfliner is a very pretty train route.
