Did the nine-albums thing and could probably do it three more times with albums that have a claim to being my number-one all-timer.
Nine albums in a grid: Elvis Costello "Get Happy", Sleater-Kinney "All Hands on the Bad One", The Beatles "Revolver", Jean-Luc Ponty "A Taste for Passion", The Who "Who's Next", The Kinks "The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society", Squeeze "Argybargy", The Cars "The Cars", Huey Lewis and the News "Self Titled"

The greatest twist ending I've seen in a long time was the phrase "Directed by Michael Showalter" at the end of the Verity trailer. What do you MEAN Solamente Doug directed Verity?

Bring back Unsolved Mysteries in its original format with Keely Shaye Smith and then give the main host role to Pierce Brosnan. Imagine that couple telling you about fugitives and ghosts and kids with ESP and orphan trains for an hour every week.

Rest in peace to Richard Harrison, impeccable B-movie master, part of one of the funniest movie endings of all time.

If Eggers was making R&J in Italian or something I could understand. It would still be stupid, but I would understand.

Hi, I was in R&J at The Globe, so I say this with a tiny amount of authority: Absolutely the fuck not.

Folks are watching my dumb little tiktok videos and I'm well into my second novel draft of the year. After years of stumbling about the creative streak is finally back, and not a moment too soon.

You should be watching @jparish.bsky.social's incredible NES Works series, but especially now so that you can join me in my feeling of "...IKARI WARRIORS?" looking at the new Virtual Console offerings.

It's twenty-five years since 9/11 and I have run out of things to say. Recounting the moments doesn't seem to do any good. And now we are mourning the people who died because they just wanted to help.

I finished Draft Zero on one novel today, started the next one, and began writing character breakdowns on my series bible. It feels good to finally have momentum on my work.

The level of trauma, as a NYer, that the annual 9/11 -thing- causes me is hard to describe. A thing happened; it was horrific; and now for 25 years I’ve listened to people lie about my city, my friends, and the whole goddamn world because of it. This year feels more egregious than most.

Everyone has a favorite Tim Curry movie, and mine is Times Square. A cult movie that deserves a bigger cult. Show up for Tim Curry as a manipulative rock DJ greek chorus, stay for docu-drama 1979 NYC and Robin Johnson giving maybe the best teen actor performance ever.
The vinyl soundtrack and Kino Lorber bluray edition of Alan Moyle's 1980 film Times Square. Both covers show the same image (in different color grading and style) of two teenage girls in hip outfits. Tim Curry appears on a giant button on Robin Johnson's leather jacket.

Everybody has a favorite Dolly Parton song, and this has been mine for thirty-four years. Thank you for everything from the music to the Imagination Library to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dolly. God bless all you did.

Coyote Vs. Acme is just as good as you would hope. I have certain nitpicks on structure and exposition but it is a worthy addition to the Merry Melodies canon.

I'll always stop to pay tribute to one of The Commitments. Farewell, Outspan Foster, goodbye, Glen Hansard. It's not even a little fair to go like this.

A scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Marcus Brody, a befuddled Englishman in a good suit and a white hat, wanders the streets of Iskendrun in Turkiye. He looks around and asks "does anyone here speak English?"

"Don't laugh—but there are people in this world Born as boys—and fighting to be girls People standing in their way Some are straight and some are gay" This song is forty-six years old and it feels like we've barely progressed. What the hell are we even doing here.

I would love for joyless pencil-neck politicos to stop weighing in with cultural takes. "No old comedies hold up" then why is my niece obsessed with Buster Keaton, you dumb motherfucker?

"This hasn't happened since E.T. in 1982" is a wild thing you can say about current box office returns. Obsession is a bona-fide phenomenon and you love to see any movie breaking out like this.

Just a reminder that everybody's Star Trek takes are terrible except mine. No I'm not going to watch that Wrath of Khan video, because the only thing to say about any Nick Meyer script is "this is essentially flawless".

Let's ask Marisa Tomei, Marlee Matlin, Melissa McCarthy, anyone who directed a western, or any black person in the film industry their thoughts on Rex Reed. Oh also disabled people. Mia Farrow too. Good riddance. I hope he spends the afterlife stuck in a room with John Simon and Pauline Kael.
