anything that screened at QTFest back in the day probably has a terrific trailer - in fact the trailers before the features were always fun; if you can find old-school blog posts about the events, they might be listed there: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin...

I really like the excessively long and dippy "What's Up, Doc?" trailer with Peter Bogdanovich in it, but I suspect that's not the vibe you're aiming for. (You might like watching it yourself though.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hejp...

Zuishinin Monzeki, Yamashina Ward, Kyoto, Japan
A vibrant songbird perches upon a delicate, bare branch, framed by a breathtaking cascade of fiery scarlet and burning amber Japanese maple leaves (momiji). The dense crimson foliage forms a glowing, layered backdrop, transitioning seamlessly from intense vermilion at the top to variegated shades of orange and gold near the base. The photograph evokes an immersive autumn sensory atmosphere: the crisp, invigorating chill of a late November afternoon, the subtle rustle of falling leaves drifting across temple moss (chiru momiji), the gentle chirping of wild birds echoing through quiet groves, and the grounding aroma of damp earth and aged cedar in a secluded sanctuary.
Zuishin-in Temple, located in Yamashina Ward on the eastern edge of Kyoto, is an imperial-head (monzeki) temple of the Shingon sect of Esoteric Buddhism, established in 991 AD by the high priest Ninkai. The temple precincts are historically renowned for their deep association with Ono no Komachi, the celebrated Heian-period waka poetess and legendary beauty, who is said to have spent her later years in quiet seclusion here. Komachi's legacy endures across the grounds through historic sites like her fumi-zuka (letter burial mound) and Komachi-no-i (water well). In late autumn, the temple gardens become a tranquil haven for momijigari (autumn leaf viewing), where traditional landscape gardening showcases the heritage craft of Japanese horticulture (monozukuri), carefully framing natural trees against sacred temple architecture.

For awhile the only version of this I watched, after seeing it in theaters, was a weirdly extended version for TV that we taped on home VHS and I believe this version was in there, along with the whole "Otis, feed the babies" thing and a few other oddities that were fun to watch.

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?
4 panel comic:
Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here”
Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!”
Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much”
Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

I’m surprised to hear you say that it didn’t disappoint, because you describe the movie as “tortuous” and “like being trapped inside a tuba for two hours.”
B.E.: Disappointment and dislike are two very different things.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Years and years ago I sat through GWTW in those chairs. I brought an extra sweater or jacket to put on the seat for cushioning. It still felt like a punishment, which is probably appropriate for watching (exceptionally well made) Lost Cause propaganda. Also I used to do double-features there.

The Cornell story is horrific, but I’d like to shine a light on what happened at LSU with a current football player on the team:
In July, the school found Shanklin responsible for "forcible rape" and issued a one-year suspension, which is a full ban from campus and activities, according to documents reviewed by ESPN. After Shanklin appealed, an administrative law judge who handles appeals per LSU policy upheld the finding that the athlete was responsible for "forcible rape," but reduced the punishment to four semesters of probation with no restrictions, which allows Shanklin to remain enrolled and on campus and to participate in activities as long as he stays out of trouble.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

Huh. Today in "always look up the etymology because sometimes you're just repeating a myth but sometimes it's weirder and more incredible than you could have possibly imagined" www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/c...
Screenshot of Merriam Webster etymology note for cockamamie: 
By the look and sound of it, cockamamie (also spelled "cockamamy") could have something to do with a rooster and the outrageous sound it makes. But in fact, cockamamie is believed to be an altered form of the term decalcomania, which refers to the process, invented in the mid-19th century, of transferring pictures and designs from specially prepared paper to surfaces such as glass or porcelain. (The word referring to the picture or design itself, decal, is a shortening of decalcomania.) The word decalcomania comes from French, with décalcomanie combining the verb décalquer, meaning "to trace" or "to transfer by tracing," and -manie, meaning "-mania." Starting in the 1930s, painted strips of paper with images capable of being transferred to the skin were called decals or—in children's slang—cockamamies. Those familiar with today's temporary tattoos will understand quickly that these were regarded by many as silly novelties, lending the word cockamamie the necessary leeway for application to anything ridiculous.
