you wake up after a day of stomach issues and you’re delivered this and your first thought is “…well. Yeah.”

You’d also be amazed how angry you can make random people by saying that, explaining the reference and then the Ross Perot “two party system” kicker joke.

The importance of voting is significant. That’s why every time in every election I write in Kodos. One day we will all be twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.

I've tuned in late but did the Panthers legitimately have a mascot jump into the stadium wearing only an ankle parachute? That's terrifying

I spoke too soon and also am suffering the weary death (from either a poorly made dinner purchase or allergies). Unfortunately this musical accompaniment is more avant garde and interactive today. So eureka version it’ll be at home

also a live composition so not the eureka! version

the best part about checking if others have seen Fritz Lang's Destiny tomorrow is reactions range from "this part's super racist" to "hey neat"

The soundtrack is very good and remains the big reason it can’t be shown. Along with you know the other one. And Brown Bunny. Music licenses. That’s the only reason why.

nearly leapt out of my chair in joy that Criterion Channel has the non-shit transfer of Pulse compared to the one that's been used by every other streamer

the name of the play is "fossil fools." now you have to wrestle with yourself whether I'm fucking with you or telling you the truth

If I came up with “fossil fools” I’d also run around and try to have people tell me I was so smart and witty and then watch with horror as they learn I’m not 6-years old

I thought it was a joke but no they really used a screengrab from Titanic to announce ending the naming of two major studios and now they’re going to be named after a company barely held up by the sheer will of savings accounts

“We own the rights for Superman, Harry Potter and idk other stuff. What image should we use in our promotional social media announcement.” “The Titanic. A symbol of power! Remembered by all!”

Not the fact someone died. But allegedly shot up in the theater. It’s like NYFF is reliving the old days with Sylvia Myles

The best part of THE CREEP TAPES is Mark Duplass' urge to remind people about dumb things that happened (sex tapes) and then deliver incredible lines ("Tommy Lee's sex tape." "TOMMY LEE JONES HAS A SEX TAPE?!? YOU'D THINK THAT'D BE BIGGER NEWS!")

It’s time to watch spooky scary movies! *Shoah criterion drops off the shelf* …maybe Friday the 13th *Shoah criterion begins floating in the air* Or Phantasm *Shoah criterion starts spinning reminding me it’s been over 15 years since I bought it and never watched it* Who knows

I realized after only three films could technically fall under getting any box office and one of them absolutely is not being released until 2027. And another goes streaming free within a week. This and showing up with White Russians to job interviews is why I'm not doing box office reporting
