How could the star of MONKEY TROUBLE sell out like this

There is no reason in the world why anyone should get offended on behalf of any YouTube talker, TikTokker, or Twitch streamer, or leap to defend their honor, or get emotionally invested in their beefs and dramas with other streamers. There's just no need for it. Get to know your neighbors instead.

There's a vast continuum of employment between "public figure" and "unemployable pauper." There's nothing in the world preventing Jacob Geller from taking a certification course and getting a job as a medical technician, or a locksmith, or an accountant, like a normal person.

Some films are "every frame, a painting." THE HUNGER is "every frame, a VANITY FAIR layout." This is not a knock.

It started when Rhi asked for a sexy partner dance. Her reference point was the Beethoven; I was thinking tango. And so this was the first thing I wrote specifically for the film

When I realized I was riffing on Beethoven, I started chuckling because this is far from the first time I've gone to this particular well. "Moonlight Sonata" was the seed of a film soundtrack I wrote for @rhidaneelolivaw.bsky.social last year. Roughly half the cues are variations on those changes

"No more bullshit email jobs! We need more jobs that MEAN something, jobs that nourish the soul!" Last night I helped a 60yo nonverbal man brush his teeth, then tucked him into bed, and my heart is so full I can barely speak "NOT LIKE THAT"

I made the jump to a caring field last year -- I work with intellectually disabled adults -- and it's physically demanding blue-collar work that's also spiritually meaningful. Exactly the kind of job that (we are told) American men crave. But they don't, because it's icky and for girls.

Three of Heath's images were indeed used as the basis for Lichtenstein works; but I always found it odd that he, when given a forum to set the record straight, would claim credit for work not his own.

What's wild is that Heath didn't actually draw that particular panel -- Irv Novick did!

It was Zazou, along with Hal Willner, who really opened my ears to the possibilities of montage and the transformative potential of combining different artists and styles. Both are gone now, too young, and I miss them both.

Every year's Halloween mixtape brings surprises -- discoveries, moments of juxtaposition -- like isolating Suzanne Vega's eerie spoken vocal from this Hector Zazou track and putting it in a radically different context

Not for nothin', but: I have never, ever heard the common refrain "This platform isn't suited to nuanced/long-form arguments" deployed by anyone who had an argument worth considering.

Said "cheating" usually takes the form of using words accurately and with intention

But rather than be persuaded out of their bad positions, they instead develop an aversion to reason itself. We see it in the denigration of experts and in face-saving formulations like "Lies, damn lies, and statistics." The conclusion is never "I was wrong," but rather "The other side is cheating."

...but Jordan couldn't realize the shot on his budget. Which, uh. Seems like a skill issue, because I doubt Eddy Grant's label was working with a huge budget, either.

The present-day frame story seems tacked on, and Neil Jordan himself admits the ending doesn't work. The original draft called for the heroine, having claimed her sexual power in her dream-world, to awaken in her real bedroom and fall into the floor like it was liquid...

Creepshow Cinema Night #1: THE COMPANY OF WOLVES A deeply confused movie. It *feels* like something recut by a studio or distributor, though apparently this was not the case; it doesn't all hang together, and its themes get muddled. Some unforgettable images, though.

Working on my #brand. Would you describe my Bsky presence more as "knives-out whimsy with a tender heart and a gutter vocabulary," or "excitable commentary from the Theater Critic of the Absurd"?

The impulse to be a whiny little chickenshit rather than following the implications of your premise to the bitter end -- it afflicts artists across the high/low cultural divide.
