recurring thoughts while watching Anthony Mann’s underrated Fall of the Roman Empire: - This movie is the Kingdom of Heaven if its time And - Oh hell this really is happening

This movie is well-loved, but critically it’s radically underrated; one of the best written, best made films of the decade.

The Hitcher is on the Criterion Channel. And if that sentence doesn’t excite you, you have not seen The Hitcher.

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation

I was neutral on ‘gif,’ and chafe at ‘on accident,’ but I will say I’m pro on the plural of ‘vampire’ being ‘draculas’

Okay, I’ll say this much, the dreadful corporate slurry that is the Supergirl movie did at least prompt me to read the comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which, in wildest contrast, was incredibly beautiful, timeless, and moving. So thanks, I guess?

I would like to nominate "Something Wicked This Way Comes" (1993) to have its original camera negatives scanned, cleaned up, and released on 4K Ultra HD Bl-ray! What Disney-made films do you want to see released in 4K? #4K #4KUHD #4KBluray #bluray #PhysicalMedia #BlurayCollector #Disney

I think we need a new version of Network where Howard Beale mutters softly into his lav mic “I’m numb as hell, and I’m probably going take this till I’m dead.”

The Thing From Another World is the His Girl Friday of alien monster movies; the dialogue is brilliantly written and so dense it’s insane.

9/11 infected us with its perpetrators’ radicalization; us/them thinking is now the business model for all media, leading us unable to talk to each other constructively about almost anything at a time when we desperately need to be able to. Instead, we have become terrorists to one another.

I think that the Dark Forest solution to the Fermi paradox is highly unlikely, but it’s resulted in some excellent sci-fi, so I’m all for it. It’s no surprise however that this has grown in popularity in the social media age; we look for fantasies to justify our poor social choices all the time.

I have high hopes for Netflix’ Lonesome Dove, but no matter how it turns out, it’s an unqualified, universal good that it’s getting people to pick up the novel, which is high in the running for the best American fiction I’ve ever read.

1. boomer culture as creeping terror 2. the nerd is the villain who gets vengeance on society via a haunted technology 3. the hero is a rare example in the 80s of caring, empathic masculinity Pretty prescient movie if you ask me

This movie is an acquired taste, because even for satire, the spread between its goofiness and grim realism is gigantic, but once you tune into it, it really is the greatest critique of the legal system on film. Only something this dumb could be this tragic. link.tubi.tv/cG8xP0qOk6b

Einstein believed time exists simultaneously. Causal connections are simply a state; before and after are like east and west. Any point is the beginning: for instance, that you love someone can be seen as the ‘start’ from which the universe must explain itself via physics as you look to the ‘west.’

Love the Guinness Smileys! Watching those with my mom is what got me into reading him, and I followed that up with Burton’s SWCIFTCold. Just read the brief but lovely Agent Running in the Field, and can’t stop imagining a version with Jared Harris and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
