Get your tickets to the @seattlecritics.bsky.social and @nwfilmforum.bsky.social screening of GREEN ROOM now. It’s going to be a great night, and Jeremy Saulnier will be zooming in to chat afterward. Hope to see you there on 10/14! nwfilmforum.org/films/sfcs-1...
Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain't Rights are finishing up a long and unsuccessful tour, and are about to call it quits when they get an unexpected booking at an isolated, run-down club deep in the backwoods of Oregon. What seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates into something much more sinister when they witness an act of violence backstage that they weren't meant to see.

At the NW Film Forum 10/14, 7pm

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 19h
An illustration done mostly with digital colored pencils. Ok, so we have a wooden coffin in the classic top-heavy hexagon shape. The coffin is propped up at an angle on nothing against a background of gray-blue paint splatters as a spooky sheet ghost rises out of it. Although it’s not a real sheet as it’s translucent and there’s nothing inside of it except a gape-mouthed green skull in the approximate head position within the sheet. The ghost is wearing a big. floppy, black witch’s hat and there’s a little brown bat hanging down from the wide brim. The ghost’s arms are extended holding a jack o’ lantern with a one-toothed frowny face carved into it. Popping out of the jack o’ lantern is a a black cat with green eyes balancing the cap of the pumpkin on his head. And on the stem of the pumpkin cap is a very serious-looking brown speckled owl. A series of spooky speech balloons is chained together around all this , each balloon containing one word and associating back tot he spooks and creatures named in the reverse order listed. The lettering in the balloons is red and drippy and reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A block of loopy, swashy hand drawn lettering. Colored in an orange to purple gradient with a deep black 3D effect and some grungy decay and color filtering added. It reads, of course, ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’

Please enjoy ten gorgeous Calvin & Hobbes Sunday strips from 1992 to 1995, when Bill Watterson was free to draw it any way he wanted—along with my long-winded commentary on the syndicate-mandated limitations on his prior work, how he exploited his later freedom, and why his work generally is great.

A digital recreation of a panel from the 1960s Hungarian comic strip Jucika by Pál Pusztai. In the image (drawn with black outlines and limited color that is also charmingly, wildly out of register) we see the main character, Jucika, a brunette woman with a short, kicky haircut wearing a striped, green, knee-length, sleeveless dress. She is dancing with a delighted-looking man in a military uniform who is holding one of her hands while in the other she's carrying a red portable radio by its little handle. She's grinning back over her shoulder to the left to see an attractive woman – red hair in curly bangs and a pony tail and wearing a different sort of green dress – who is dancing to the music from the radio with a different delighted-looking man in a brown suit. Everyone is having a great time. Below the drawing is all lower case script lettering with a brown drop that reads 'talán ma fog megtörténni', which my Hungarian-speaking friend Matilda assures me translates to 'Maybe it will happend today'

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

The thing about studios dictating that everything is a spoiler is that months after the fact, the review doesn’t reflect the critic’s grappling with a film. It’s a reflection of a marketing strategy.

At the PNB for a ballet triple-header. Balanchine’s Serenade is so cool. The kid liked it even though it didn’t really have a story. Lotta shapes though.

My 15th Bugs Bunny piece is up. There's some great stuff in this short revolving around Bugs using hypnosis to turn Elmer Fudd into a doppelganger of himself, breaking the fabric of accepted Bugs Bunny cartoon reality. A pretty good early Freleng/Maltese Bugs short.

There's no shortage of reasons why the 2026 Mariners disappointed, but also: - slowest team in baseball, 2026 - one of the five weakest defensive teams since 2016 That's a tough way to win. baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/...
