Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 06/10/2026ISTG every time there's a new detail, I've often thought about why this was open at night and just figured it was a special event for fancy people Never considered the simple explanation that it's just open 24/7 like museums and art galleries so often are 000

Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Good plan, good plan. Truly, life is like a box of chocolates. 010
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Nevertheless Flanagan has found another way in, a clever way to set the stage and bootstrap my empathy. Tim Bagley is especially good at this also. 000
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I read the book in the middle of high school, when an end to merciless bullying and ostracism was just starting to come into sight, so I found it immediately relatable and relevant. 100
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Saw episodes 1 and 2 of #Carrie at #FantasticFest, and rather than focusing on "she should not be pretty" it looks like Flanagan is doubling down on making her sympathetic, which is a great play. 100
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I had a much harder time with A Serbian Film than this, which was difficult but always engrossing. 110
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The Glorious Dead put me in mind of Handling The Undead and that's some high fuckin' praise, since the latter is one of the better takes on the zombie that I've ever seen, and introduced me to Renate Reinsve to boot. 000
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 15/09/2026[1] that's a little joke for my other innernet old-timers 010
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Just finished GOOD BOY — I have a slow newsfeed[1] — and dang, that's a fun and touching read; I'm just not sure I've read anything quite like it, with the real story being so adjacent to the action. 100
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Lots of albums have exactly one good track, they can't all be Dark Side of the Moon or Jagged Little Pill 000
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I cracked this open on a drive to NYC a few years ago and sure, every track isn't a banger but after six hours of driving it'd well and truly grown on me. 110
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 10/09/2026"going to"? He desperately wants to be a powerbroker and has no clue how to go about it, none at all. It pains me that PA seems to be cursed to have at most one not-laughably-terrible Senator at a time. 110
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I feel like I could actually almost come around to respecting "hey, it's what he campaigned on, and I fucked up" But no, for all the crowing this crowd makes about personal responsibility, the only thing that makes them reconsider is when THEY meet consequences. 010
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Years ago a room I was in had to endure improv; the team put out a call for "an emotion" "HUBRIS!" The troupe shifts uncomfortably onstage, no-one says a word, eager to see how this will play out. It does not go well. Hilarious! 110
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 31/08/2026like, you're an optometrist or MO, how do you not know what your vision's blind spot looks like? the mind boggles, did they never read Highlights or something?? 010
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 31/08/2026for the last couple years I tried apparently in vain to get some visual changes taken seriously (since chased down to an MRI and found nothing! oh well, I guess!) there was a day when if anyone else asked me what color the blank spot was, I was not going to be responsible for my actions 210
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 28/08/2026This battle was well and truly lost when the rule changed to "silence your phone" rather than turning them off 000
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 25/08/2026some folks determined to live up to "all progress depends on the unreasonable man" and other just ... do true, real good in the world instead of hoarding and enriching themselves at the cost of everyone else 000
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 24/08/2026(There's also another lot behind the storefronts on that side of the street, enterable from Shady Ave (Riverstone is on Forbes between Shady and Murray) but I haven't used it in years.) 010
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 24/08/2026There's a paid municipal lot at Forbes and Murray, only a block's walk. Street parking is a little harder to come by. 110
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I'll say this for ONE NIGHT ONLY, it's been bananas for finding people who just can't hold onto their hot takes for even a single god-damn day, much less opening weekend. Buh bye 000
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I have zero tolerance for this ever since Anthony Lane decided to ruin Kick-Ass in The New Yorker. It's shitty. 010

Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Yeah, I gotta get to LA and check shit out. The Gold Class innovation was that it was maybe one or two screens in a multiplex so they didn't have to work at scale like an Alamo. When I win the lottery I'm going to run a theater until all the money is gone 110
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 21/07/2026*: my expectations for food in a movie were set during the heyday of "Gold Class" in one Aussie theater chain; you could absolutely get a good meal and a beverage discreetly delivered to your seat, and it all worked because the whole theater had maybe 20 seats in it. A premium but it was amazing. 100
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 21/07/2026It was never as good as my hopes* but I liked the compromises of the old system pretty well. I still have tickets for Fantastic Fest this year and am hoping against hope that the new ordering system is done away with in, uh, the next two months FML 100
Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 21/07/2026(draft reply went out early; deleted to add nuance) I haven't had to use the new system yet. I thought the servers were, in fact, less disruptive than a phone and what lights existed to help place an order were fairly thoughtfully placed. 100

Jason Parker-Burlingham @dropmaw.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Saw EVIL DEAD BURN and it was _just_ what I needed: squirmy and goopy and nasty, as a family that is barely keeping it together finally pulls the plug and gets everything out into the open.
