It would be great if the Cornell r*pists could face real consequences before any future confirmation hearings.

Forgotten Island is one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. Beautiful, funny, and above all, a POV and culture that hasn’t been seen a thousand times before. To anyone who complains there aren’t enough original stories in cinema, GO SUPPORT THIS MOVIE.

Seeing Robyn live reconfirms my belief that she’s written not only the best pop song of the past 25 years, but also the second best pop song of the past 25 years. She’s a such a delight, mixing open-hearted sincerity with a willingness to be embarrassing. Fantastic show and great dance party.

Celebrate Bisexuality Day is when we proudly exclaim our bi-ness, as opposed to all of those other days when we simply announce it via our mannerisms, outfits, and Carly Rae Jepsen fandom.

Despite all the horrors and hurt, there was overwhelming kindness in NYC on 9/11. That unity didn’t last long or spread across America, but on that day… it helped a lot.

Somehow missed this when it came out in 2023, but glad it found in a bookstore recently: MOBILIS by Juni Ba, from the always wonderful TKO. I loved it. For most of the story, it’s beautiful art mixed with a bittersweet undersea adventure, but then the last chapter… it floored me. Check it out.

Buddy is the kind of movie that was made to be discovered accidentally on TV at 2am, so it’s a little weird seeing it in a theater. That said, it’s a delightfully fun and unsettling - funsettling? - movie.

Every time Tim Curry appeared on screen, no matter how much make-up or latex was over his face, that movie got way better. The man had chemistry with every human and Muppet. Really gonna miss him.

Redux Redux is the kind of awesome B-movie sci-fi thriller you used to have to learn about from the cool employee at the video store. Like The Hidden. Or, from this our current post-video store, The Guest. It’s sharp, relentless, and well acted. Check it out on Hulu.

There is a hands-free soap dispenser at work that only actually dispenses soap every third of fourth time it senses your hands. That alone gives it more charm and personality than 99% of conservative politicians.
