I’m thinking I should get a new phone, what do you guys think? (Full disclosure, I’ve been using the same iPhone 8 for the past seven years…)

This week I started to show my Witches students Hocus Pocus (1993) and they were like "this is a bit violent for kids right?" when the witches are hanged, and I was like "no, no, it's just from the 90s." And then I watched the rest of it at home and was like "yowza" so I wrote about that feeling.

I have just discovered the existence of a cheap 70’s mob movie called Street People. It stars Roger Moore and Stacy Keach, and the very fact it exists makes the world a better place.

Holy shit, your train was on time? Lucky… (when I took that train it was almost 4 hours late.)

But you are taking them to the Hollywood for the 4k restoration of The Devils, right? Kidding, of course. But god I hope we get a decent Blu-ray of that one…

Thought I’d put on something that was set to leave Criterion, so I went with Lisztomania. Even for Ken Russell this is a weird goddamn movie. Currently about half a dozen women are riding on Roger Daltrey’s 10 foot long erection.

About a year ago these protective crosswalks got put in downstairs, to make it safer to get across the street to buy groceries. I don’t know how many times people have illegally used the bike lane as a right turn lane, but I’ve almost been hit by the car doing it twice now…

A crosswalk outside the Safeway on NE Broadway near the Lloyd Center. There are two lanes of traffic, then a concrete island, then a “protected” bike lane, then the corner of the sidewalk proper. The bike lane is, for some unknown reason, able to accommodate cars.

In related news, I zonked out for a few hours, including multiple moments of sleep paralysis, then ended up eating a box of Triscuits for dinner. I lead a rich, fulfilling life…

Had a long day that was almost longer. (Delivery truck: looks like our ETA is 7pm. Boss: Well now it’s Monday!) I’m finally home, and have gotten the emergency beer out of the back of the fridge. I want no disruptions all weekend…

Four years ago I wrote this about Warner Bros and these scam-juggling fools have proven it time and time again. It's abhorrent.

A tweet from me in September 2022 that reads It's more profitable and legal to just like destroy one of the oldest studios in Hollywood so they're doing it with absolutely no chagrin or hesitation or concern for what this does to art and media and culture.

I work at the HS I graduated from. This means I showed up at work and immediately found out that my old principal, Fr. Murphy, just passed this morning…

I don't think Manchester Cheaty should be relegated to another league. They should cease to exist, full-stop.

If they’re not properly equipped to carry out a sentence and do it anyway, how the fuck is that not cruel and unusual? This is a rhetorical question.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Wendy Carlos should be on the 20 dollar bill. There should be a 50-foot-tall, solid-gold statue of her in Pawtucket. You should be able to buy all her albums in any format you want and a line of custom branded synths. She should be a household name along with Bob Moog.

Got my most recent shot a few weeks ago. They asked if I had a preference, and I just said “Surprise me.”

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Since Criterion decided to merge the logins for the website and the streaming service, I decided I might as well do an inventory. It seems I have fewer than 80 Criterion Blu-rays. I would have sworn I owned at least a hundred…

The last election was like this whole group of people screaming "RESPECT US OR WE WILL SHIT ON THE FLOOR," and then they shat on the floor. There is no real way to respect that, and also not a great mechanism for keeping shit off the floor.

Also, for whatever reason I had to re-log in to all my apps. Annoying, but not aggravatingly so…

*looks over the updated @criterionchannl.bsky.social * The fact that My List is no longer in the order it was in, and I can’t find a goddamn thing on it like I used to is pissing me off. It’s like someone broke in and rearranged my shelves. Other than that, not terrible.

This, for people who don't follow US soccer, is the coach of the Seattle Sounders donating to the GoFundMe of the fields director at Starfire Sports (where the Sounders used to train), who was just abducted by ICE.
