I'm not good with riddles.

@severincarrell.bsky.social @kierlajanisse.bsky.social I think the title for "Hantu Retribution – Female Ghosts Of The Malay Archipelago" on the IMDb listing is incorrect. Just thought I'd let someone know.

Cropped screenshot of the IMDb page for the short doc, "Hantu Retribution – Female Ghosts Of The Malay Archipelago", but IMDb has it listed as "Hantu Distribution – Female Ghosts Of The Malay Archipelago" instead.

Cropped screenshot of the "All the Haunts Be Ours Vol. 2" page on Severine's website shows the title as "Hantu Retribution – Female Ghosts Of The Malay Archipelago".

I am ready for my trip to Japan in November.

I have successfully verbally repeated back to Falstaff, Duolingo's big dumb bear, the phrase "I often watch interesting movies" in Japanese.

Some good clouds when I left the theatre last night.

According to Bill Hunt/The Digital Bits, the first releases were The Fifth Element, The Terminator, Lord of War, and Crash, if that is useful info to have. If not, then I apologize and as you were! (cc: @normwilner.bsky.social)

Bill Hunt of The Digital Bits shared a post on the site's Patreon celebrating Blu-Ray's 20th birthday, writing that the first titles were The Fifth Element (Sony), The Terminator (MGM), Lord of War (Lionsgate), and Crash (Lionsgate).

They will continue operating under a new independent company, still unnamed, and will be overseen by the company’s president, Ryan Pauley."

I placed my hand weirdly on the bed while doing Duolingo and Mabel Baby had to lay down paws curled on it to rest her head.

Looking at new album releases today, I enjoyed how these two bands showed up next to each other and how they have the same name if you flip the first letter around. That is all. Have a good weekend.

My good friend Michael (@bullshit.rodeo) went to Japan and all I got was a lovely box of nice things that he sent to me in the name of friendship!

A box of mushroom shaped chocolate coverer cookie sticks, a pretty postcard (the message is private - for my eyes only!), a package of beautiful stickers, and a good luck charm for success.

My wife and I went to the Detroit Film Theatre to watch a French trio play a whimsical live score to an hour's worth Georges Méliès films and then I made this clay face at the DIA. I hope that y'all are well.

I think this is just the General's seasonal Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch but with a dash of cinnamon. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but regardless, it's not bad!

In honor of this being Hollywood's Biggest Night (the Oscars), a sincerely beloved text exchange of mine (about the Emmys) between me and my good friend Jesse (@movieshelf.bsky.social). I hope that everyone has a fine day leading up to the Red Carpet and then enjoys the Main Event!

Jesse: Up to anything this evening?

Me: Yo. I just finished some chores and I'm about to warm up pasta and put on the Emmys.

J: lol
Have fun.

Me: I don't believe you're laughing.

J: Oh, more of a chuckle.

Me: Out loud, or more to yourself?

col or ctm

J: COL
I just forgot that you love pageantry.

Me: I lol'd at that because it's true, I do.

J: Let me know if The Bear wins for best comedy.

The AMC A-List subscription is being updated this May for the first time since it launched in 2018. Reading the email, I was waiting for the part about a potential price hike, and I had to chuckle when I saw it. (Admittedly, other tiers were more affected, but still, this is pretty funny.)

Cropped screenshot of the AMC A-List subscription updates email I just received which states:

"Price Adjustment: For the first time since the program's 2018 launch, the $19.95/month+tax fee for your A-List membership will adjust to $19.99/month+tax – still at an incredible bargain. Your plan will be based on the location of your preferred theatre..."

Every time I see the poster for The Last Showgirl, I see the finger and thumb of a large Muppet's hand reaching down from the heavens to pick up Pamela Anderson by the head; I do not see the two colorful feathered plumes of a showgirl's headdress.

@jimmypardo.bsky.social, @mynameisgaron.bsky.social Welcome to this B.S! Here's something uninteresting: I've been going back through old NNFs and heard something that's the opposite of y'all's curse - congrats on getting Taylor and Mandy together!

Cropped screenshot of a Signal message to a friend that reads

"This is both interesting and uninteresting:

I'm listening to NNF 14A with Dave Holmes, and they brought up Mandy Moore and how she's married to Ryan Adams. Then later they're talking about Taylor Goldsmith from Dawes and how he's one of Dave's crushes and how Jimmy met him at Conan and he was really nice.

Taylor has now been on NNF and is married to Mandy and they probably have no idea that this conversational coincidence happened.

That is all."
