Love stumbling across fresh Classic Hollywood references in TWIN PEAKS.

REVIEW: The Bride! (2026) dir. Maggie Gyllenhaal // BOSTON HASSLE

As a movie, THE BRIDE EXCLAMATION POINT is a messβ€” yet I just can’t bring myself to dislike it. Review in Boston Hassle! bostonhassle.com/review-the-b...

I’m not sure it’s quite sunk in that this year we’re getting a new Herzog documentary *and* a new Herzog narrative feature.

Oh man, they’re a LEGENDARY freeform station out of New Jerseyβ€” its livestream is what keeps me alive during my dayjob! They’re in pledge drive mode this week (hence the shirt), but otherwise it’s some of the most eclectic and in-depth music radio you’re likely to hear. Highly recommend!

I cannot tell you what it means to me personally that @wfmu.bsky.social has a shirt with Godzilla and Minilla on it this year.

I have this on an incredible DVD-R mix I got at Kim’s in college (along with Harvey Sid Fisher, Warhol on The Love Boat, and tons more). It’s one of the best things I own.

Still kinda wish they brought her back for THE RETURN (though I completely understand Lynch and Frost’s decision to excommunicate Donna in all forms).

At this point there’s probably an argument to be made that they’re Albarn’s β€œmain” band.

BUFF20 INTERVIEW: β€˜LIQUID SKY’ Director Slava Tsukerman // BOSTON HASSLE

They should retroactively take it off Letterboxd so you have to go on some janky message board to talk about it.

Putting on a platform where kids can stumble upon it for free with crudely inserted ad breaks is honestly the ideal distribution method for this film.
