The only horoscope I recognize

Somehow I remember so much of this PTA commentary word for word. Many years ago in film school a professor randomly, completely out of context, said a few lines from the commentary, mocking it. I remember thinking “why did he say that, and how do I recognize those lines?!” Anyway it holds up!

I know it’s sacrilege but I skipped through every cutscene in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. But I still found myself choked up during the ending, even though I had no idea who the final boss was, what his plan was, or why we were fighting

I saw my neighbor at our local bakery today, where he called black and white cookies “half and halfs”… …unless he follows me he’ll never know why I’m giving him the cold shoulder for the rest of my life!!!

Me, having finally watched INFERNAL AFFAIRS: how can there be a part 2?! I can’t even fathom that! I gotta see how they pull this off!!! …Oh yeah prequels exist

Wow I am so glad I saw this post, now I’m seeing Ida next month. I have such nostalgia for them it’s crazy. I found “I Know About You” so powerful when I hadn’t even lived enough to relate to the songs!

Can’t believe my texts are still clogged with Democratic fundraising emails that alternate between “It’s OVER— Elena Kagan just chokeslammed Trump’s entire agenda!” and “It’s OVER— Trump has finally obtained the dark ring of power!!”

I'm really enjoying the '80s newsletter right now, and if you're not reading it, I think you're missing some of the best work I've ever done. Check out the front page right now.

Amazing film. I think this is my favorite section of his career, this and Cabiria are my champions for the first five films. Although I can't tell if the next section should begin with La Dolce Vita or that should end this section. Maybe they go by decade?! who can say

Can I tell you a story involving you? On a plane, I started one of your videos and my seat mate jolted. I thought he was upset about the front bumper & braced for hell, but he was a huge fan of your channel. Talked the entire flight. Cool guy! Worked in video games. Should have got his contact info.

how have I never noticed Paul Giamatti is in SINGLES before? Also I remain confused by the garage door opener culture depicted in the film-- we see two instances of people exchanging them within a week of knowing each other. This has always bothered me

Just got a call from my Republican uncle making sure I was safe from the fires. Within seconds he was telling me how this is about Ukraine and something involving fish.

In a normal society the LAFD would be overfunded. They’d have amazing drones and iron man suits. It’d make sense, they’re defending a crucial but fireprone economic engine a superpower depends on. Instead, thanks to Karen Bass and the LAPD, the LAFD recently had to cut their guy who posts on Reddit

Ed Dougherty @eddougherty.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

I’m right there with you. Evacuated to Long Beach and just keep refreshing the app to see if the fire has gotten to my house. All I can think about is how much I hate Karen Bass and the city council. I will support the fuck out of her primary challenger

Ed Dougherty @eddougherty.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

The last two mayors of LA have clearly not wanted to be mayor of LA. It’s a pretty big job, people should be satisfied with it instead of using it to raise their profile. The next mayor should want to be mayor of LA. With the fires like 50 feet from my house, that is all I ask.

shouldn't we rebrand this whole thing the climate war and throw some of that massive defense budget at it? "Climate change" has always been a little too flat for the masses

dude this is killing me. I keep saying "shit, I better charge my phone before we lose power!" then I plug it in and get a bunch of notifications from Watch Duty, grab it to check, then realize I'm wasting battery, and repeat the cycle over again

Ed Dougherty @eddougherty.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Call me crazy but with the pacific palisades burning and crazy winds ravaging the city, maybe it wasn’t the best idea to cut the fire department budget to give the LAPD another raise..?

did NFL commentators always talk about end of season financial incentives, like "ooo watch out he needs 6 more catches today for 500k"? keeps coming up in today's games and makes it feel more running man/smash TV dystopian than it already does!!

I've gotten really into listening to podcasts while gaming. But you need a certain kind of mindless game where the audio doesn't matter. I can't tell if WWE2k24 is good or just good for this purpose but I will be unlocking doink while listening to the new yorker radio hour

I'm thrilled to see the video I directed for Brenda - Microscopic Babe in this doc!! Only music video I ever one-man-banded, shot it myself on super 8. Felt like no one saw it so it's nice it's in this doc, esp since it's directed by Blair Young who did many iconic @camera-obscura.bsky.social videos

Listen to the great Joe Dante. This special edition includes a commentary by me and director Steve De Jarnatt and comes with this beautiful new slipcover. If you haven't seen it - you're in for a treat.

People make fun of the pommel horse scene but I thought that was pretty brutal! Also the filmmaking actually helps sell his fighting there which it doesn't in a lot of the other scenes. Seems like this crazy town sequence is the reason to watch the film overall

Despite a love of bad movies I haven’t seen this since the theater. At least I think I saw it in the theater. I choose to believe I did.

Paused THE ORDER 45m in, great so far. However when I resumed somehow the motion flow came on and won’t turn off. This is certainly not how the director intended. This is insane

Tech’s takeover of show business has turned everything into streaming. The only recourse is to focus on the physical.
