Y'all can watch EAST OF EDEN for me & let me know, as a big Steinbeck fan I'm skeptical, especially with Netflix. Those fuckers butcher good books. EOE isn't even a top Steinbeck novel for me but still masterclass I get directors having a vision, but Netflix always butchers good books

Issue #14 of my column MOANS FROM THE CONDIMENT FRIDGE @mrbullbull.bsky.social , titled DOUBLE FEATURE This issue is about the drive-in I went to with my father, why decades later I didn't attend his funeral. It's old movies and complicated relationships Link below: mrbullbull.com/newbull/moan...

I haven't watched THE FRESHMAN probably since the mid 90s. No one pulls off a parody of himself quite like Marlon Brando in this one. Bruno Kirby is pretty funny too.

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite authors, "Dimestore Dostoevsky," "High Priest of the Godless," Jim Thompson. “He was his own victim, his own slave. He had made personality a profession, created a career out of selling himself. And he could not stray far, or for long, from his self-made self.”

Been standing in front of the fridges of the world, my fridge & your fridge, breaking off enormous chunks of cheese straight off the blocks with my fingers since the top hat and Laudanum days of 1886.

For the first movie of a double feature, rewatching a fav 70s film, ROLLING THUNDER, written by the brilliant Paul Schrader & directed by the underrated John Flynn A hardcore revenge film that deals with P.O.W.s, wartime PTSD & trying to return to normal life, but it's a revenge film at its core.

If I ever was invited to the Criterion Closet without a doubt one of my picks would be LADY SNOWBLOOD. In my opinion, hands down one of the greatest revenge films of all time. I'm about to sit down and rewatch this masterpiece in a few minutes.

Time to rewatch a KILLER 80s neo noir classic, TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. , leaves Prime in a few days definitely time for a rewatch. I want to say this is the movie that introduced me to the forever brilliant, Willem DeFoe. This or LAST TEMPTATION...

Excited to see my copy of @georgesingleton.bsky.social 's NEW collection of short stories arrived, WOUNDED BOARDERS. George is hands down one of the best short fiction writers out there. His stories are known for their laugh-out-loud-humor, but they are also heartfelt, original, and human.

Happy Birthday to the singular, Charles Bukowski. "I don’t like the clean-shaven man with the necktie and the good job. I like desperate men, men with broken teeth and broken minds and broken ways. They interest me. They are full of surprises and explosions."

Who writes these headlines "Why is Taylor Farms Facing Scrutiny?" Because they did it. They're the source. Regulatory agencies are paid off but not the rest of us, so. You know. That's why.

As you can see in the 3rd photo, I'm reading TRAVELS W CHARLEY, I put it 3rd bc it isn't everyday you find a single cowgirl boot abandoned in a Hobby Lobby cart. A Hobby Lobby cart left under a motel stairwell. Makes me wonder that in Lexington somewhere a woman is walking around w 1 cowgirl boot on

H.B. to the one&only Harry Dean Stanton. "In the end, you end up accepting everything in your life, suffering, horror, love, loss, hate, all of it. It's all a movie anyway, the whole phantasmagoria. It's all meaningless. There is no answer to any of it. It's just what is. "

Happy Birthday to the wildly original, and easily one of my favorite writers ever, Denis Johnson. I didn't know him personally, but I miss his gift. "Sometimes what I wouldn't give to have us sitting in a bar again at 9:00 a.m. telling lies to one another, far from God."

I don't really use X, but when something goes wrong for MAGA, like SCOTUS upholding birthright citizenship, I like to go on X, find outrage tweets from Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, James Woods, Boebert, & mock them, then I shut down the app again. It's the little things that bring a smile to my face
