Kanopy out here stanning Tinto Brass and I have to say this is easily the best streaming service for obscure films. Free, no ads. You just need a library card. Absolute goldmine.

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

yo I hate to break it to yall but the silver fox that town needs, c'est moi. but when I was cast in Poker Face it sent ripples of fear through the industry. they just could not handle the smoke. any casting director who really wants to take it to the next level, I'm easy to find
John Darnielle, the "silver fox" for whom Hollywood has been looking since the 80s, standing in plain view in front of the late Cameron's Books in Portland, a place he used to stop by a lot in the 80s. Man in glasses & a stylish white tee, salt-and-pepper beard and goatee, blond highlights, in the hair, the complete package. Behind him the sign for Cameron's books, legendary brown on yellow, faded & graff'd. a "street closed" sign against some abandoned tables that lean against the bookstore's shuttered red storefront. The erotic energy of the photograph crackles through the screen

The Atomic Cafe (1982). A collection of Cold War flotsam and jetsam is one of the most hilarious and unsettling films I've seen. A film about the cheerful lies we tell ourselves and how our ability to adapt to any circumstances is both why we prevail as a species and why we're utterly fucked.

The Appalachians are a billion years, two supercontinents, and 4 orogenic periods old. They’ve been eroding since 200 million years before the Rockies formed. They are the same range as the Scottish highlands, Scandinavian Mountains, and Atlas Mountains. The caves predate bones.

Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.

Kanopy has an English dub of AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD so I was finally able to watch it despite eyes too bad for subtitles. I know, I know—the original is preferable for those who can see. But I wish more streamers offered dubs of the classics. I’ve never seen Kurosawa or Fellini or Truffaut.
