Last night I rented @davidkittredge.bsky.social’s Boorman and the Devil from @letterboxd.social. What a wonderful documentary w/tremendous insight from Sir John Boorman and many of the main players from Exorcist II: The Heretic. I wish we could have gotten Sir John’s film as originally envisioned.

Well, The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX certainly is something. Good lord, Christopher Nolan is a master at the top of his craft. Also, it was nice to have an old school intro by one of the Cinemark employees prior to the screening. Until today, that hadn’t been a thing in years. #TheOdyssey #70mmIMAX

The Chicago native returned home to become the first comedian to perform at Wrigley Field, and he sold out the venue to boot, performing for one of the largest stand-up audiences ever.

While I do enjoy the AVTT/PTTN album, the Avetts aren’t my cup of tea. That said, anytime I can hear my favorite songs from California & Disco Volante, plus songs by FNM, The Commodores, Dean Martin & Roger Miller, that’s a huge win in my book. Plus, the musicianship all around was exceptional.

Reupping this because the film itself does not seem to be getting the love it should. This was a good flick. While I will concede it’s a little uneven, it’s also weird and energetic and very much “Fuck the patriarchy” and aware of its roots.

So this thread below is hopefully my final word on why I dislike to the point of hostility, engaging around my television/videogame critic career. To use your parlance it’s trauma upon trauma for me. Because of the “rude” label I wouldn’t mind help getting this record of fact out there.

Rest in peace to a Score original, the incomparable Terry Boers. Terry was always great, but an agitated Terry was amazing. Being born in 1974, I caught the second of Larry Lujack’s WLS runs, and for my money, the two greatest Chicago radio personalities are Uncle Lar and Uncle Terry. #bycracky

The reason why they never photograph Bovino and Trump together is that they don't want you to know that Bovino doesn't need to kneel to blow his daddy I only spent about 45 seconds of image searching as research for this theory and now I need to go rinse my eyeballs

Found her! (Kind of upsetting how easy this was to find with just a house number.) 📷: @andycouch.com
A photo of a middle-aged white woman in sunglasses, a black puffer jacket, and blue jeans standing next to a wooden telephone pole that's been wrapped with a colorful knitted pattern (yarn bombed) reading "FUCK ICE" in bold letters with a heart symbol on bright panels of pink, red, green, purple, and blue yarn. The setting is a residential street on a sunny afternoon.
