Your phone will never take a good photo of the moon except for this one rare exception.

We need to call more people “Knaves” making a mental note.

Thanks to Spouse for helping me fit a week’s worth of stuff into a backpack because to have any carry-on on my Frontier flight is 80 bucks each way. It would have been cheaper just to mail my stuff there but I didn’t think of that soon enough. They were still cheapest by hundreds of dollars. ✈️

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

A Fistful of Dollars (1964) Not the best but perhaps the seminal "Spaghetti Western." Clint Eastwood plays the taciturn gunman playing two factions against each other in his first starring role. A rip-off of Kurosawa's Yojimbo to the degree they ended up paying him part of the profits. #Filmsky 📽️

Super Mario Bros. (1993) Our latest Terrible Movie is this prior live-action attempt at a Mario movie that became one of most notorious disasters of its era. It is baffling from beginning to end. Bob Hoskins plays Mario with a broad Brooklyn accent while John Leguizamo plays Luigi. #Filmsky 📽️

The Devil Is a Woman (1935) Josef von Sternberg directs Marlene Dietrich gleefully playing the woman incels accuse all women of being. She plays the beautiful Concha, who toys with multiple men in circa-1900 Spain. She also sings a couple songs and wears some great over-the-top costumes. #Filmsky 📽️

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Heavily influenced by the paranoid political thrillers of the 1970s, this is still a popular pick for the best movie Marvel's produced. Chris Evans' star spangled hero fights evildoers who have infiltrated SHIELD. Robert Redford is even in this. #Filmsky 📽️

I've been so swamped this week I've gotten several days behind in writing up the movies I've watched. I'm still swamped but I can't deal with that right now, so I'm going to try to do some catch up instead. #filmsky 📽️

This is like going to a bullfight wearing PETA underoos.

Those predicting AI won’t really cost that many jobs have drastically underestimated the willingness of corporations to make their products extremely shitty if it saves them the money they would have had to pay people to actually do stuff correctly.

Have The Devil Is a Woman (1936) on in the bag while I do chores. I would be interested in a history of accents in Hollywood films. This movie is set in Spain circa 1900 and everyone is just using regular contemporary American accents (except for Dietrich of course). Wonder when that changed?

here's one example of how the racket works.

Our next Terrible Movie is Super Mario Bros. (1993). Whose idea was it that Mario was from Brooklyn? That would honestly never have occurred to me.

And yet they continue to be able to buy food and access the internet and stuff. Life goes on despite there being limits placed on unfettered capitalism. So… just remember that anyone who tells you otherwise is lying for their own gain. Or is an idiot, I guess, that’s also possible.

I was listening to a Killers song this morning and thought, “This is great, they’re just going full Springsteen.” And then I was like “Do I even like Springsteen?” And guys I think I may have turned 41 and I like Bruce Springsteen now. It is an unexpected setback but I will persevere.

On my ride home the Guards hit a grand slam and then immediately gave up 6 runs to the Orioles in the next half inning. Which seems about right, vibes-wise. #mlb #cleguardians

There are a lot of British sports terms I feel like we could use over here. I want to be able to say that "Tarik Skubal is in his pomp."

I bought 2028 Olympics tickets and now have 2 years to get super into Handball, Judo, and Field Hockey, among other things. Is anybody out there already a fan of those things and have any idea where to get started? I did once take a Judo class at the rec center if that helps.

because CD players, walkmans, and VCRs usually fucking worked and did precisely what was asked of them without relogging in and syncing and re-entering passwords and getting confirmation codes and doing 2FA with out TV and phone and clicking a fake "remember me" box that's fucking why

We all have days like this

We should have never doubted this man

I need to include the link to the Esquire story about Fernando Mendoza to GS/BS but trust me when I say the photos el have you shook. www.esquire.com/sports/a7086...

Electrick Children (2012) An indie addition to our "Vegas Movies" list, with Julia Garner (in her first big role) as a teenage girl member of a polygamist Utah religious sect who gets pregnant (from listening to a rock song?) and flees to Las Vegas, where she discovers... various things. #Filmsky 📽️

They did it! Definitely did not think this was happening a month ago.

The Knights are somehow 13 minutes from a Pacific Division championship despite having so many weird turns and cul de sacs this year. #NHL #VGK

"The Knights win the Division with a point tonight... there's other ways they could do it, they give you an ice cream headache." I have a weird pet peeve about announcers refusing to explain simple playoff scenarios in pretty much any sport. "It's so complicated." NO IT ISN'T IT IS BASIC LOGIC.

"everyone protesting Trump is old" is cope from the curated alternate reality and not something connected to the real world.

Crushed to hear about Adam Hughes' cancer diagnosis. One of the best comic book artists of our generation. His Black Cat covers have been the highlight of my month. Hoping for all the best for Adam and the whole family. www.adamhughesofficial.com/post/in-othe...

guys, this is how you lose the time war

That is exactly what a teleporter would say

Well the ending of last night’s game suuuuucked but it’s day baseball on Jackie Robinson Day, so I’m back for the Guardians again. I would say they need goldfish memory but apparently goldfish actually have good memories so they need to have my memory. #cleguardians #mlb #clevsstl

Sabotage (1936) Has been called "Minor Hitchcock" but I've always found it interesting. A woman gradually realizes her husband is actually what we would now call a "terrorist" in 1930s London. Maybe not a great movie but has several great scenes, and that gets you a lot of the way there. #Filmsky 📽️

Sore: A Wife from the Future (2025) An Indonesian photographer working in Croatia wakes up one morning to find a woman in his bed who says, "Hello, I'm Sore. I'm your wife from the future." The movie actually does not go where you would think it might from that hook. #Filmsky 📽️

We are already boycotting Target but if you are not (or use self-checkout lanes)… maybe reconsider.

New Republican platform: “Make America Waterworld… Again?”

Well the crappy blu ray player I bought off of eBay for my office seemed not to work when I put in The Winter Soldier, but I eventually realized that was Region 2. Trying it now with my bare bones Hitchcock dvd from the library and it’s working ok. So today we’re doing Sabotage, not a MCU movie. 📽️

Lol

That period had considerably more events: 2-0 VGK despite them getting approximately six penalties called against them. #nhl #vgkvswpg

The @CleGuardians open their series in St. Louis with a victory!

Steven Kwan and the @CleGuardians have broken it open in the 8th!
