Name a film you watched at a drive-in.

The classic YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN poster. It's a painting of a tall hill with an ominous castle at the top, the title in stone letters make up the bottom. An image of a mad looking Gene Wilder as Frederick Frankenstein on the left and a solemn Peter Boyle as The Monster tipping a top hat.

What's your most rewatch movie on Letterboxd? As with everyone, almost certainly not overall.

The Jack Davis drawn poster for The Long Goodbye. A cartoon of Elliott Gould front and center with shananigans related to the movie all over the background.

If you see this, you're legally obligated to quote with your favorite Star Wars character. I'm pretty sure I've done this before, given this answer while quoting that answer.

QTP with a game released in the year you were born.

It's a computer green image of a covered wagon with the words "You have died of dysentery" written beneath it. This image, being an image, was not a part of the text based game that was released the year I was born. Images of lines of text didn't feel right, though.

The timing of ##LetterboxdFriday has left some not in my ##LastFourWatched off, including Things Behind the Sun and Cloud, which are among the best movies I've watched in the last month or so.

A group of 16 movies, including Things Behind the Sun and Cloud.

"What is the first CD you owned?" It was a gift I received along with the player.

Whiplash Smile by Billy Idol.

I would have sworn the follow-up was more successful, but it wasn't. It just came out when I was more aware of popular music.

Look, everyone is going to choose the people that neurodivergent folks are proud of and represent the stereotypes we're secretly proud of, but that kid in middle school who won't stop talking and who didn't tattle but explained his position on tattling so long the teacher figured it out...

It's Quentin Tarantino in a tuxedo and sunglasses.

MC5. Look, I'm a fan, so I'm capable of defending all of their albums, especially Kick out the Jams, but I think we all mostly agree there's an ideal album with aspects of each that never quite happened

No cheating, the last saved celebrity is your therapist.

It is Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., Vincent Price and Hazel Court posing in costumes on a set... of an aging office?

I've been with this beautiful person for 17 years, as of today, married for 14 of them, as of today. It's been quite a ride. We've been through moves, maybe too many, and whatever else, up to her cancer treatment last year, which was scary and difficult.

I discovered McDonald, as well as McKellar, with HIGHWAY 61, which I definitely expected to be different than it is, in ways I don't understand now, but which are good because it allowed it to be an absolutely delightful surprise in almost every way.

The poster for HIGHWAY 61. A woman sits hitchhiking in front of a coffin, while a man stand next to ber looking skeptical.

Repost a movie from the 70s that starts with a B BIG WEDNESDAY

Poster for BIG WEDNESDAY by John Milius. A somewhat solarized image of three men and a surfboard in silhouette, two sitting, one standing on the beach watching a large wave.

I saw this shirt in real life. A human being was wearing it on purpose. This would be embarrassing enough, but the obvious design flaw means that it immediately appears to say something different than I imagine the wearer intended.

A black shirt with a skull with crossed armbones lifted to both make heavy metal "devil horns".

In large red letters it says "Gen X"
In small white letters it says "The Badass Generation"
In medium white letters it says "Before all you"
And then in medium red letters proclaims "SISSIES WERE BORN"

My first reaction was "Yes, they fucking do!" Then I realized it was about the band and not those awful goddamn birds.

Thumbnail for a video called "Geese don't deserve the hate" by Anthony Fantano. The image is of a singer and not a bird, which might have provided a useful clue to an attentive viewer.

Apparently my BIRTHDAY twin. I don't remember knowing that.

It is Clifford Smith Jr., best known as the rapper Method Man. He is looking up with a curious or perhaps pensive expression at the camera.

Wait. The new Neal Stephenson book is about Vanilla Ice?

Cover of a D by Neal Stephenson. A solemn blond man with carefully combed hair and sunglasses in a high-collared jacket. Surrounding smaller images included bombers flying in formation and a cavalry officer charging on a horse.

I guess this one is weird to me. Like I get that SPACE TRUCKERS is not everyone's bag for sure, but saying a Stuart Gordon movie has no heart makes no sense to me at all.

Wow! That was pretty ass. And I detected almost no heart or charm to save it. Cool!

This is it, man, my Clock King moment...

It is Clock King. His face is a clock face. He wears a skintight blue jumpsuit, covered in blockages, with yellow boots and cape. Floating around him are images of various clocks.

What the fuck is this nonsense?

“It’s time for Part Three of my lengthy musical career!” Bruce Johnston tells Rolling Stone in an exclusive statement. “I can write songs forever and wait until you hear what’s coming!!! As my major talent beyond singing is songwriting, now is the time to get serious again. In addition, I’m currently working on developing a speaking-engagement chapter of my career — inspired in part by Cary Grant, who long ago made a similar move after his movie career. With a ton of help designing what I speak about from John Stamos, I’ll be doing appearances and events of my own. I might even sing ‘Disney Girls’ & ‘I Write The Songs!!’

I am very curious what's on this, so unless it has a track listing also written in, I'm probably putting it on first to find out.

Not to do with the AI, I find the placement of the family members... odd. Why are Cliff and Clair disconnected like that? I assume because it's a promotion for whichever season, it has to do with how each actor is highlighted and such, perhaps contractually, but it's real weird as a family photo.

Professor Bentley James came into our lives about 10 years ago. He wasn't a kitten then. He was older. He wasn't supposed to be mine. He was Rae and Peg's, but as we both grew into the cranky old men of the house, we became a team. I'll miss him.
