Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Lucked out with $15 2nd row rush tickets for North By Northwest. Check out this legroom! (And excuse the casual footwear - I thought I was going to be stuck in standing room only.) 1200
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 01/10/2026When is this f’ing summer weather going to end* & fall going to start in the Bay Area? Sweater weather is my favorite weather! *I know I’m going to regret thinking this in February when my house is flooded because of El Niño, but dammit, I’m sick of this heat! 390
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 30/09/2026These movies, and many more, had a ginormous impact in my youth. my9movies.net/en/edit 290
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It’s a bright sunny day so what better way to spend it than sitting in the dark watching old movies? Bonus: this double feature includes appearances by the Nicholas Brothers. 0190
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This is at least my 30th time and I’m just as excited as the first show back in 1991. 2180
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 23/09/2026A short book that I read way too quickly because it was so enjoyable. One of my favorites of the Maigret series so far. 040
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Good times! Anyway, the second movie this weekend was Shaun the Sheep, the Beast of Mossy Bottom which was delightful and I highly recommend it. 050
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Anybody else remember before cell phones or reserved seats and you’d have to wait for ages and ages to get into the theater for a popular movie? There was nothing to do but look at the ceiling. 190
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Double Feature this weekend: first was Runner (not to be confused with The Runner) at a theater about to close and I’m feeling nostalgic because I was here opening day in 1985… and even before then when it used to be a Drive In. 1270
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Read my first (and probably last) Trollope novel. I expected more considering its mammoth length, but at least it satiated my longing for a Victorian novel. And after lugging this around for a couple months I can finally stop singing to myself “So ask yourself now…” 380
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Seated for what I HOPE will be a good movie, especially since it’s almost 3 hours long. 1200
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Coyote vs Acme is a lot of fun and I’m glad it was finally released. 0240
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Serious look as I prepare to watch The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX. Three hours is a long time. 1350
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 26/08/2026(Stepping away from this week’s awful news for a moment) HEY let's celebrate some great classic actors who are still with us. Repost with your fave living actors who are 85+ 🎭 🎬 090
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Up in SF for a spontaneous movie day. Camp Miasma and then The Samurai and the Prisoner. 0340
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Free ice cream and I’m about to see the new dinosaur movie. Is this what happiness feels like? 1240
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Last week was an accidental Lauren Bacall week with Dark Passage from a TCM recording and How To Marry A Millionaire on the big screen. Not her best, but they each had enjoyable moments. 1140
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 31/07/2026So, about that… turns out everyone else in my group put it off even longer than I did and since I’m the only one who finished it I’ve been assigned to an AI project and I want to dive (without the v). But for now I’ll focus on getting drunk and read for a bit. Happy Friday! 0240
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Double feature tonight. First time viewing of Don’t Bother To Knock and repeat viewing of This Gun For Hire with what is possibly cinema’s hottest pairing: Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd. 0120
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I was 100% set for a day of healthy eating until I found out Mexican Pizzas are only $1 today AND the Encherito is back so the salad will keep to tomorrow. Ugh! Oh well, at least I got a workout in. 7962
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Tonight’s movie was Freaky Tales and I am mad at myself for not catching it on the big screen. Catch it before it leaves HBO on Friday. It’s a B movie but it’s an A+ B movie and it does have several scenes that are Tarantino knock-offs so if you’re not into that then don’t watch. 1121
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Online workplace safety training day and this is the example they chose to “hide” from an attacker. We see you dude! Go find somewhere else that’s not a table. 0100
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 26/07/2026In the theater about to see Niagara. Love this poster! 3130
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Back to work with a numb jaw after having 2 fillings replaced. (sigh) 1360
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I’ve been reading the James Bond books over the years and just finished this one which is silly fun aside from miserable lines like this: “All women love semi-rape. They love to be taken. It was his sweet brutality against my bruised body that had made his act of love so piercingly wonderful.” Ugh! 250
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 15/07/20265am and I’m out for a walk on the beach before I need to sign on for work. It was too hot to sleep so I took a quick trip to the ocean to cool off. 3370
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 15/07/2026My scale wished me Happy Birthday (which is tomorrow, the 15th) and it made me smile… until I thought about it for 10 seconds and realized, no. This is just another example of me living in a a technology dystopian nightmare. 8260
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 12/07/2026It’s hot out so it’s a good time to sit in air conditioning and see Mary Pickford’s last silent film My Best Girl. 1240
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Did anyone else catch the bad edit in tonight’s Drag Race where they (I assume) accidentally put in a shot from last week? 260
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 08/07/2026New York Times gunna keep New York Timesing. Seriously, THIS is how they are framing their top story? 060
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 05/07/2026The last activity in LA was going to Madonna’s pop up shop. 1240
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 05/07/2026This is my friends’ adorable cat Keller, who is blind. She helped keep me company during my LA visit. 0340
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Saw some amazing art in the new Geffen wing at LACMA today. 0290
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Spent the afternoon at The Huntington so of course I had to take another selfie with one of my favorite Constable paintings. And they have a corpse flower too. 0200
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I’m in L.A. for the weekend and it’s a perfect morning. Got to walk to my favorite cafe while listening to Confessions II and made a new friend on the way. 090
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Latest read: The Bridge of San Luis Rey. It’s great and there is a lot in there for only 106 pages. Evidently this is often taught in high school but I think I would have hated it at that age. 040
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 30/06/2026I know I have a few mutuals who will be very excited with today’s framed.wtf game. 120
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 29/06/2026If you subscribe to the Criterion Channel you only have 2 days left to see this specific version of Eno before it changes in the new month. It’s wonderful. 030
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Going to watch Stop That Train! at the only time it’s playing… 9:30AM?!? 2190
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Once again I wake up and the internet tells me I’m old. 0140
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 26/06/2026***Partial Drag Race Spoiler*** I’d be more excited about today’s Drag Race All Star bracket result if Morgan, who won 2 of her 3 challenges, was also allowed a tie win. 030
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I’m ignoring the bad reviews and going to give this a shot. 1200
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 25/06/2026They are doing a Marilyn Monroe film festival this summer and tonight I watched Clash By Night for the first time. Amazing acting by almost everyone but the script, adapted from a play, was clunky. 0180
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 24/06/2026I put it off as long as I could, but now… my employer’s mandatory AI training has begun. 3240
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Feeling good for the first time in a week after suffering through a bad cold. Rewarding myself with a margarita may have helped boost my mood. 0330
Jason @doubtfulguest.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Remember in 2013 when this book was a runaway bestseller and placed front & center of every bookstore? I assumed it must have been great detective story but it was not. Or maybe it’s my fault for waiting 13 years before reading it. 🤷♂️ 230
