Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 21hLittle bit of a “they brought Kane onto the ship wearing a facehugger” scenario. 020
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 22hCertain 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. 031
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 23hFailed 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. 250
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Yep 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.” 000
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 11/10/2026oh, your kid smokes weed? pretty normal, I guess. [proudly, smugly] mine's into black tar heroin 020
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 11/10/2026People 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. 230

Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 10/10/2026All good! It’s kind of a ridiculous movie, I can see why it would t work for everyone. 010
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Haha all good, it’s a joke, nothing to worry about. 110
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Someone will inevitably jump in here to say actually that is a 10” and I gotta say, I do not care. 1120
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 10/10/2026... 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 414728
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It 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. 010
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026One 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...soundcloud.comPiranesi by Susanna Clarke read by Chiwetel EjioforThe long-awaited return from the author of the multi-million copy bestselling Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has? Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell transpor 250
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Sick, 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. 160
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This 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. 020
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I fix a lot of things for people now and it's often 90% cleaning, 10% replacing some minor part. 150
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026A 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? 1100

Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Really frees you up to make a movie like SPACE JAM if you believe that doing better is literally impossible  020
Russ Fischer @russfischer.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The 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 🤷♂️ 160
