Not gonna claim I'm good at watching movies, but I did notice they got boob lights in the Backrooms. Then, watching Bone Temple right after, I realized they got a boob light in there, too.

Certain that multiple people must have used Glam Guignol in the headline of their SUBSTANCE review, I did a search. Nada. Step it up, y'all.

Failed at continuing this thread because I got tired but followed BONE TEMPLE with an at-long-last viewing of THE SUBSTANCE. Not sure the movie is good, exactly. Did enjoy the Glam Guignol of it all. It's got what I keep thinking of as a WWE sort of energy, which I can't really complain about.

Yep mine got into it this past summer via a camp, he’s in 2nd now. His primary obsession is the level editor. Enjoys playing but mostly it’s all “I figured out the exact offset to start this song on the beat I wanted.”

People think Minecraft and Roblox are the main kids video games. Then your 7yo gets addicted to Geometry Dash. You're now part of an extensive secret society with hand signals, coded song titles, and secretive nods that allow you to communicate with parents of other similarly-afflicted children.

... IT'S JUST THAT, IF THE RAGE VIRUS HIT IN 2002, THE ONLY VERSION OF KID A ON VINYL WAS THE 10". BUT IN THE BONE TEMPLE IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT A 10" PLAYING SO WHERE DID THE 12" KID A COME FROM IF THERE'S BEEN NO SOCIETY AND THEREFORE NO RECORDS BEING PRESSED FOR 28 YEARS

It is wonderful. I already want to listen again just to enjoy his performance. He adds a level of sensitivity that deepend some of the details that might have seemed a little obvious to me if I read on my own.

One thing I stumbled into recently is the audiobook of Susanna Clarke's novel Piranesi, read by Chiwetel Ejiofor. As good an audio performance as I've heard, beautifully done by Ejiofor. A weird bookend to BACKROOMS in many ways. Highest possible reccomendation. soundcloud.com/bloomsburypu...

Sick, so I'm not working today, so I'm catching up on 2026 movies. First: BACKROOMS. Loved this, a delightful intersection of a lot of things that fascinated me in the last six months. Infuriating that this was made by someone who is barely not a child.

This scales up to, like, houses. Someone complained about water messing up their back yard. Could I do better than the $4k bid they got to trench a new drain? Yeah, your downspout's broken. Water isn't being moved where you want it. They hadn't noticed. $100 solves most of the problem.

I fix a lot of things for people now and it's often 90% cleaning, 10% replacing some minor part.

Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
A sad aspect of planned obsolescence for everything is people no longer seem to care for stuff? Not even "we don't fix things now" but "why would I maintain this thing?" Can't tell you the number of times a client says "oh that doesn't work any more" and it's just because they... never cleaned it?

The closest thing Kahn has had to success on his own creative terms is with movies that fit exactly this description. But it wasn't close enough so his creative peak is executing Taylor Swift's vision for videos 🤷‍♂️

Not sure Orwell had buying a face in mind when he said everyone gets the face they deserve. But since she's part of an Oval Office ghoul crew, I'm not going to second-guess ol' George.
