So on this day when one of the oligarchs of our digitized and dystopic world is emptying one of America's greatest newsrooms of trained and committed journalists, I thought I would regale you all with a wonderful little anecdote about our world to come. It involves two of the finest...

When I rewatched Twin Peaks The Return episode 8 I was like, oh, Oppenheimer you tried

Can you throw up a content warning on posting this adult material?

Thanks, @mattkindt.bsky.social

Yes, there's a pretty good background regarding his father's career.

I guess DESTRY RIDES AGAIN…AGAIN didn't test as well

I'm not saying it borrowed from the plot or scenario (I haven't seen any of the show), but I know the TV show did use footage from that film

Isn't that one full of footage taken from Wagon Master?
There's not much of Ford I haven't seen, but the TV shows are some of the last things I have to hunt down along with a few early talkies.

Not to mention a host of others plus of course his most successful ventures with Spielberg, Chris Columbus, Oliver Stone, and all the Star Wars directors!

Been reading the John Williams biography, and the range of his collaborators has to be unparalleled. Directors from John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, John Frankenheimer, Robert Altman, Mertin Ritt, Alan Pakula, William Wyler, Clint Eastwood, Brian De Palma, and even Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra!...

Speaking of Ford and Stewart, I just watched one of their more obscure collaborations, the TV movie "Flashing Spikes" on YouTube the other day. I was prompted to finally seek it out after reading about it in the John Williams biography.

The Ford segment is definitely head and shoulders above the rest. It does force you to evaluate it piecewise I think, rather than as a wholly integral work.

Tell me your pet’s name with a gif.

This is true, which leads me to conclude that they know their justifications are the twin pillars of whiteness and the insulating power of (illicit) wealth

We used to have boxes around names on movie posters, too. Now we don't, and just look at the state of things in this country. SMDH

A film company logo that tells you you're about to see highly entertaining greatness

I'm the opposite of a Leto fan, but I have to admit this is the best he's looked in years

What, practically, can be done by faithful Catholics against him and his ilk? It's bad enough in the government, but this scandalous cleric is worse.
I know we have to pray, and that is practical. But do you have other advice?

I have even less training than that. Zero days, in fact. And yet somehow I already know how to get out of the way of slow moving cars and that shooting unarmed people who aren't a threat is murder.

I can never remember what all those icons are supposed to mean. And that's after you go through a gauntlet of language selection. What is the point of that if they don't put words on the menus?
But at least they will have exciting Blu-ray Live™®©® content to access!!!

On the bright side, at least the Iraq War inspired some great art, like Revenge of the Sith

Yeah I was happier with the "in hindsight" way of being humbled

Looking forward to much chin-stroking and navel-gazing from our incredibly strong Congress.

How to redeem an otherwise dodgy year

First completed book of 2026. (Began reading in 2025)

Pope Leo in Dilexi Te: “Thus, in a world where the poor are increasingly numerous, we paradoxically see the growth of a wealthy elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury, almost in another world compared to ordinary people."

Never mind, my second Google search found it. Disgusting how this man has simped for the right wing in the current culture war nonsense in order to suck up to the Trump admin
