The Works of Laurence Sterne (1790)

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (2nd Dublin edn.)

The Works of Laurence Sterne (1803: 8 vols.)

There's a dark triad for predatory scammer types: refusing to pay their bills; constantly name-dropping and social-climbing in pursuit of new marks; escalating depravity as if in an attempt to see if there's anything they can't get away with. The problem is that millions of Americans are like this.

You know nothing of my work!

Weird living through the "does the US really need soft power in order to have all the things it wants?" experiment because the outcome is very obvious and yet they're running the experiment anyway

Elizabeth Cary, playwright, with truly wild hair styling. As painted c 1620 by Paul van Somer, whose day is today.

How in hell does The Onion stay in business?

Why don’t I want to talk with people who think my existence is an affront to god and nature?

a blessed 84th birthday to the greatest, Wadada Leo Smith 🙏🏾❤️♾️

Susan Ciani is a real pioneer of electronic music. She was using a Buchla synthesizer similar to those Morton Subotnick used, but was much more concerned with how simple sequencers could make long form, constantly evolving pieces of shimmering complexity. suzanneciani.bandcamp.com/album/buchla...

oh Marco, don't worry, you're only going to the 3rd or 4th circle of hell. you'll disembowel yourself and eat your entrails once a day - no more than twice. worst case scenario 30-40 minutes being drowned in a trough of human excrement boiling at one trillion degrees. the rest of the day is yours!

R.I.P. Rosa von Praunheim, truly one of the great queer filmmakers whose work is more urgent and timely than ever

The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces. Think of a proto-John Wilson documentary about how people use plazas. It's a short film based on a scientific survey about what makes a used, and therefor GOOD public space and how to make them better. All of the glory of urban living in 50 minutes or so

“Terence Davies’ OF TIME AND THE CITY is about the most desperate and profound longing, that impossible desire to return to something intangible—to have known then what we know now, and in the process save something of ourselves.”

I remember doing the deal for Epic Mickey, and Bob Iger shooting laser beams out his eyes at me in the Disney dining room. “Don’t let this video game fuck up Mickey.” Oh well. That’s over.

im honored to accept this Wawa Peace Prize

I’m the opposite of stagestruck (& have minus acting talent anyway) but if I were an actor I’d want Mary Woronov’s career, just doing my cult films & sometimes getting to send up Hollywood romantic conventions by being onscreen-married to my gay best friend.

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Amazed to see Joe Dante and Jon Davison's samizdat found footage epic The Movie Orgy (1968) available on home video! Highest rec!: vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...

It's not every day that a holy grail makes its way to physical media and that's what happened today thanks to AGFA and us at OCN. I first saw Joe Dante's THE MOVIE ORGY at MoMA in 2013 with Dante in person and it absolutely blew my mind. I wrote about it back then and that essay is included here.

My buddy's dad was a Federal judge. People who would know said he was brilliant. One day he took us for Slurpees. Couldn't figure out how to pour them. Keeps asking the guy, whose English wasn't great. Keeps repeating "Yes, but how does one..." Guy hears a number, thinks he's asking about price.

💯 Watch THE LONG WALK, btw. Top tier King adaptation, appropriately grim and gristly.

Always remember this was the fruit of decades of activism by Black Montgomerians. A few years back I wrote about the 1944 Montgomery voter registration drive, which involved or affected many key figures of the Bus Boycott and created a small area of Black political power in Montgomery, pre-Boycott.

Just read about the way they’re going to do the World Cup draw later

wow its crazy that you can see the crew pumping the friends full of puke

Anyone remember Criterion’s little brother, HVE? This is an absolute jewel in that collection.

On this day in 1965, the Ornette Coleman Trio played the first of three sets over two days at The Golden Circle in Stockholm, Sweden. All three sets were recorded, and selctions from them were later issued as At The Golden Circle Stockholm Volumes One and Two.

oomf just sent me this video from a shitty old italian horror film and I fear we may have unearthed The most unfortunate vocal stim of all time

First thing on every undocumented worker’s mind upon arriving in the United States: use a huge stockpile of cash to make a down payment and lock into a 30-year mortgage.

RIP Kissinger you would have slayed this fit
