Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 22hMy weekend plans involve going to see Master of the Flying Guillotine at The Music Box on Saturday and, if @severinfilms.bsky.social happen to be there selling movies and they happen to have a copy of A Bay of Blood, well, I may happen to pick that bad boy up. 030
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 23hWhatever happened to Grok's tween anime pornstar girlfriend anyway? 010
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 23hNo home video release is truly essential but this is pretty close. The House Is Black alone gets it 98% of the way there. 020
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 02/10/2026For our 400th ep, @stevecuff.bsky.social, Adam and I watched the Atlas Shrugged trilogy and learned about the real superheroes, CEOs. So do as you're told, non-CEO, and tune in (attached clip unfortunately not representative of movies' actual entertainment value) optimismvaccine.com/episode/cine... 120
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 02/10/2026No downsides to not having a job if you still have money. Sadly my parents neglected to set this up for me. 040
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Played a bit of Slipstream last night, a fun Outrun clone. No idea how or when I acquired it but it's pretty hypnotic. It does have one glaring flaw, on PS5 at least. The game locks momentarily whenever the soundtrack switches track. Which can be lethal in such a fast paced, rhythmic game. 001
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Reinstalled GTAV last night. Have the urge to give it another try, but this time I plan to stick to the story. Last time I immediately started exploring and basically drove myself to boredom doing a bunch of pointless errands. 140
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 01/10/2026At this point voters will just be mad at Dems for screwing up yet another straightforward task. 130
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Support for the Death Penalty is a worrying indicator of a condition cognitive researchers have termed, "Baby Brain." Often, this cannot be cured. 060
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Holly had a fern that took a dramatic turn for the worst a little while ago. Later we'd find leaves and stalks lying at the base of the vase. Cat was obviously responsible but never caught them interacting with the plant. Then this morning we found this. 1110
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's difficult to log into work when you have two kittens you could be playing with instead. Like, it's physically difficult because how the fuck do I type like this? 1141
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Is it maybe because you're quite old for a professional athlete and no longer able to compete at the highest levels of the sport which was readily evident in the most recent World Cup and you'll be four years older when the next one happens? Is that the reason? It'd be a fair reason. 030
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I applaud @vinsyn.bsky.social for incuding this subtitle option (although I wish they came in white, but whatever). 260
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Knew it would happen. Kate has worn down Banville and now they hang out together all the time because he knows he's all empty threats. 130
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Trying to tell my boss I can't work right now because my cat is hunting my fingers whenever I type. She's already drawn blood once. We're at an impasse. 020
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Particularly enjoy the follow up here confirming they own a dachshund. Yup. 040
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I never watched this so my intro to Lowery was A Ghost Story, which I caught at my first Chicago Critics Fest. Felt very exciting to be there, a packed house, this is why I moved to Chicago etc. and then the movie started and it got bad fast and soon I realized it could not get better. 051
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Imagining what could've been if Tangerine Dream ever got to score a John Woo joint (although my memory suggests TD did show up on the soundtrack to a HK movie I watched once upon a time but I don't remember which one) 160
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 28/09/2026You don't see much about John Krasinski these days. So that's nice. 1121
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 28/09/2026More Johnnie To in 4K (and Ah Long is a significant one!) but also it's Shout Factory so I'll wait and hope someone else does a better job. 140
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Wonder will this be dedicated to bloviating noise or is he going to announce something that actively worsens everything. You can never tell. 080
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Hell of a thing to make a movie about one of the wildest swings in studio filmmaking and turn in something that exists to be watched on the back of an airplane seat. 070
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 28/09/2026John Boorman recounting something David Lean once said to him (as he recalls Exorcist II): "We all make failures, try not to make a famous one." 090
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Spirit of the Beehive remains incredible. One the great debuts. Not a complete thought, but the focus on Ana tying her shoelaces, a foundational skill as a child enters the larger world, I was reminded of how Miyazaki has Chihiro adjust her shoes before running in Spirited Away. 270
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Hectic morning. Woken up bright and early by a kitten exfoliating my forehead with her sandpaper tongue. Grabbed some pastries and a coffee, cracked into the new season of Taskmaster NZ and now it's off to the movies for The Spirit of the Beehive on 35mm. 040
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Watching all things Exorcist this weekend and the Legion Cut of part III really hammered home, if this wasn't a direct inspiration for Kurosawa's Cure, they are in intimate conversation. 140
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Gassing up the cae right now and they're looking for $4.90 a gallon for regular. That cant be right? Is something happening in the Middle East or something? 010
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Holy shit, nearly missed that Music Box is showing The Spirit of the Beehive this Sunday. Been meaning to revisit it for years. That was one of those movies that felt like an incredible unearthed discovery to me when Criterion first put it out on DVD. 060
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Just watched The Exorcist (good flick, check it out) and then watched an intro by Friedkin and it's very funny how much Matthew Holness is directly imitating him to create Garth Marenghi. 160
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Randomly thinking about how Bob Seger rhymes "do" with itself in Turn The Page. That's amateur hour stuff, Seger! 021
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Guessing Trump wouldn't shut up about his ballroom. 030
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Gummo is, oddly enough, a movie I have heard co-workers talk about (they weren't fans). 032
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Tickets purchased for The History of Concrete at Music Box this weekend. Finally gonna learn what concrete is and maybe even where I can find some. 070
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The Devils NC-17 rating, did Warners actually resubmit it or are they reusing an original rating? The MPAA is chaotic and Christian blasphemy may still rile them up but seems funny a stylized studio feature from 1971 could merit such concern in 2026. Have they seen what's on TV? 140
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Discovered a new extreme sport: preparing chicken for my dinner whike holding two kittens at bay. I don't think I was entirely successful but that's what cooking is for. 010
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The least a $1,000 should be able to purchase is a Kid Rock-free experience. 040
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Found myself talking up Isao Takahata's The Tale of Princess Kaguya yesterday and realized I haven't watched it in 10+ years. Gonna fix that this week. In my memory as one of the greatest movies of the 21st century. 250
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Always think of Victor Chavez taking the podium after George W. and complaining about the smell of sulfur. Nothing much changes (except at least W didn't kidnap Chavez). 100
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Got a large coffee. An unusual extravagance for me but for the last two nights, Baba the Kitten has been my pillow pal. This was very cute the first night, as she slept with minimal interruption, but last night around 5am she discovered she could bite my ears and that's apparently really fun. 021
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 22/09/2026You've got to wonder, of that select few who saw Scary Movie V in theater, did a single person see the movie's post credits scene, which begins more than 14 mins after the movie ends. 020
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 21/09/2026They have to still show up and take photos just in case today's the day. 000
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Just went to Whole Foods and then Target. Overwhelmed by the beauty of White Culture. Owl City started playing while I picked up a pack of Spindrift. Life's so beautiful sometimes. 160
Jack Eason @jackeason.bsky.social · 20/09/2026That's why it's a very good game. The permutations and knowledge gap are simply insurmountable for any amount of logic or deduction to predictably work. It's specifically about emotion and instinct and managing a crowd. It's a game of life. You can't logic and reason your way into a win position. 111
