Film Review: “Digger” Can’t Dig Its Way Out of Its Own Artifice - The Arts Fuse
Tom Cruise delivers a virtuoso turn, but Iñárritu buries a potentially potent climate-change comedy beneath exposition, self-congratulation, and stunts.

Arts Commentary: Superman, Spider-Man, and the American Art of Slugging Nazis - The Arts Fuse
William Nicholas Love’s punch heard round the internet belongs to a long comic-book history of fighting homegrown fascism—from Captain America to “The Clan of the Fiery Cross.”

Just went to the hardware store to legit buy a sling blade. Had to ask a clerk where they were. Do you have ANY FUCKING IDEA how hard it was to do that without doing a Billy Bob Thornton impression? ANY FUCKING IDEA?

Just saw two books, the covers of which portray their protagonists as young, white women. These protagonists are, as per the texts, middle-aged Black women. *sigh*

Holy Shit! Padriac McKinley's THE WEIGHT is fucking awesome! It opens 9/18, stars Ethan Hawke & Russell Crowe. Take Bonnie & Clyde, Cool Hand Luke, and Deliverance and fit it onto a remake of The Wages of Fear *without the trucks*, you'd have this gritty, sweaty, testosterone-laced movie. Loved it!

Not too long ago, I was benching 300 lbs (1 or 2 reps). After a shoulder impingement, I’m getting back to benching and SLOWWWWLY building up to where I was. Lotsa land mine work today, too. And upper arm work. Now for cardio. GETTING OLDER IS NOT FOR SISSIES!!

Linda Bean Pardee of The Chelsea Curve has passed. She was the coolest bass player in Boston and had ungodly charisma and talent. I saw The Chelsea Curve many times and met and talked with her a few times. She embodied so much that was awesome about the Boston music scene. I hate that she’s gone.

This is Sid. Sid naps as part of his Sun Salutation, knowing that as the Sun warms him, his inner Floofyness warms the Sun. Sid knows the Circle of Life is comprised of snacks and sleep, creating a spiral back to the point of Creation. Sid is Zen. Sid is Floofy. Sid loves everyone. Be like Sid.

Listening to a 1940s radio adaptation of a Dorothy Sayers story on the show SUSPENSE! in which Lord Peter Wimsey is described by one of the villains as, "a noted man about town." I always wanted to be, like Lamont Cranston, "a noted man about town." Where does one sign up?

Caught a Twilight Zone with Ida Lupino & a Columbo with Anne Baxter. In both shows, these women played, fading, dried up shells of their former selves. Lupino & Baxter were only around 40 & gorgeous when these shows were filmed. Agism in Hollywood has always been bad. But back then, it was brutal.
