Other breakfast hits from this morning. The tête de veau was possibly the best french dish I've ever had.

What you simpletons fail to understand is that there's a FISCAL CRISIS! France simply can't afford to pay for "quality of life".

Very expensive-looking CRS guys doing important fiscal stuff.

Saw this at a gun range in Texas (CA was also marked, but I took the photo because I was handing over my NY license at the time).

Not proud to admit that the bogeymen, with visible zippers in their suits, scared me.

A bit late with my last four, but I wanted to give a shout out to @staggerlee42.bsky.social for recommending this Archers banger. 'Hair' in a full house for Festival Lumiere. I don't like slashers that much. Best Proust film is by genius Ackerman.

A Canterbury Tale; Hair; Bay of Blood; The Captive

My daughter's are becoming style conscious and asked what my style was. "I don't know. I've dressed like The Replacements for forty years."

GenX-Lead Paint Theory takes a big hit as France banned it thirty years before the US, but my generation is still benighted.

Chantal Ackerman, posed with the question, "How do I bring the audience up to date quickly on the leads' romance, cinematic and contemporary, but also proustian?" Home movie!

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? Streets of Fire is a sequel to the Fabulous Stains. Every country should have a film like Platform. Sometimes the kids get to pick. #Letterboxd

I love when Gemini just turns and interrupts while I'm talking to my wife. No one asked you, robot!

"Transitioning from animated movies to cult comedy classics like Rushmore and Ghost World is one of the best milestones of parenting. You have a fantastic lineup ahead, and those awkward, witty coming-of-age films will make for some unforgettable family movie nights once the kids are old enough to appreciate the humor." -my phone, unbidden

'Wizards' isn't the deepest work of art, but Bakshi really gets to the "fascists are losers who venerate other losers; liberals are a little bit lame but usually win".

Nice! I had this wastepaper basket, and kept it through a rather large dent because I loved it so much.

I stood here, just me and a bunch of Sicilian construction workers (the South Brooklyn rumors are true!) and realized the camera i had brought was out of film.

My #LastFourWatched on #LetterboxdFriday. The French are funny sometimes; early, sensual Martel; fun with Italian zombies; my least favorite Tavernier so far (still very good) #FilmSky
