Absolutely losing my mind at PART TIME job applications asking for:
- 15 minute interview
- 90 minute resume review(?)
- Live past employer verification
- Live reference check in which *you* have to set up the calls (??)
- THEN "paid task trials"

$20/hour. some of you guys are nuts.

IMO this has always been a major fault with Nosferatu's other versions. They tend to defer to Victorian storytelling customs when the plot's elements call for something different.

In short, I found the plot changes here to be remarkably effective. What say you?

Because, at least to me, it has always been her story. I felt this reading Dracula back in the day too with her counterpart character Mina. She overwhelmingly has the most interesting predicament and the most to sacrifice. A slight less focus on the boys brought actual life into the plot.

I will say I've only seen The Northman to compare it to Eggers' other works. But like you I've seen sooooo many (bad) adaptations of Nosferatu and I've been waiting for ages to get something with plot motion. So many of them imo stall out after the first act.

Making it Ellen's story was KEY though.

OMG

I am behind on Babygirl but Nosty?? 👀

1000+ mile Tuesday morning coffee friend date coming soon? At least in terms of overall vibes??

And yet in a way our unemployment woes make it seem as if we've never been closer?

But actually I forget everyone is WORKING when I want to go out and do something stupid at like 10am on Tuesday!

gene hackman being sexy in the Poseidon adventure also he has a turtleneck on

In honor of his birthday I'm gonna assume he's still rocking out like this:

In lieu of capitalism I'm thinking of putting together all of Gene Hackman's Santa Fe sightings since he slapped that guy downtown

God damn I am so unemployed I am just annoying the hell out of everyone just to feel something

insane that this could apply to literally any man anywhere for any reason

This is my whole life.

Edward Berger missing director, The Brutalist being nearly four hours long... I have a hard time seeing anything but Emilia Perez winning BP right now.

CHALLENGERS going for zero (esp. score!) is such a bummer. I'd have given Justin Kuritzkes the screenplay win too.

pompeii cover goes so hard though :(

my apple music recap told me my second most played artist was the GLEE CAST and I turned it off. i'm humiliated

A good thinkpiece would be to interview healthcare executives and ask them how it feels to know most Americans would love to see them die

The casual moviegoer is a thing of the past. That's a big problem for Hollywood Gone are the days where prospective moviegoers would roll up to the theaters and gawk at the board for their next watch. Theaters are trying to make up that business in other ways.

"Not only are there not enough movies bringing people in, but they’re often not in theaters long enough for people to discover them. That all cuts into the potential profit margins for theaters, which are still struggling to bring in crowds."

thank you bb. Holidays are stressful for me 😭

Did I fuck up the turkey this year? Yes. Did something inexplicable happen to the apple pie where the sauce refused to thicken? Sure thing

But I did not go on a Turkey Trot and never will, and I’ll carry that pride to my cold fucking grave

I want you two to fall in DEEP love and I demand consistent updates!!

ugh I want to be meaner

wow the parade this year was crazy

(had a glass) these “runs” on Thanksgiving mornings are ridiculous!!! like oh OKAY you’re so cool because you’re hotter? whatever

Lost John Ford film found in Chile after 100 years | The National The Scarlet Drop, a western starring actor Harry Carey, was found in a Santiago warehouse a day before it was set to be demolished

This has been Riley's 2024 addition to the "befriending the lyrical loneliness" list on Letterboxd if the list were just me expressing my feelings.

This is not to say I'm not directly responsible for some of this fizzling. I've not been as focused as I should be and let anxiety control everything I do. Some really terrible driving anxiety has kept me inside more than is healthy.

One of the most challenging parts of getting older (in my perspective) is how easily friendships fizzle out, the difficulty in rekindling them, and the hard realization others aren't interested in doing it. Call it digital divide or ego-centrism but goodness me, it's been tough.

No they changed like 4% of his eyes to make him ✨real✨
