Sean Penn actually shows up in the novel Vineland, playing…Larry Bird.

Yes, and yes.

Richard Wharfinger’s lost play, The Courier’s Tragedy, as featured in The Crying of Lot 49.

“It sounds like a bird, but it’s a fuckin’ ant.”

I gotta get back to the Vista!

Immediate RT for any and all JPS posts.

I saw The Long Walk tonight in an otherwise empty theater. Crazy that nobody is a seeing a movie that I’m convinced will one day be regarded as absolute top-tier King.

Wow! What an insanely great interview. Thanks for making me aware of it. Makes me want to pull out the book of interviews he did with Billy Wilder.

Incredibly excited to start reading Todd Goddard’s bio of one of my all time favorite writers, the great Jim Harrison. #DevouringTime

Re-reading this beast for the first time since 1996. This is *not* Pynchon-esque metafiction or some kind of pretentious DeLillo language sandbox — this shit is real, and about 300 pages in, it starts to break your heart.

The wind will hunt him down and take its revenge like in that Ray Bradbury story.

Rich attorneys getting into drunk pissing contests with each other.

In a year or so when this comes out on Apple and people are losing their minds about how great it is, you can say, yeah, and the book was even better.

Eerily accurate. We also have a shelf of old paperbacks and a lamp.

“Take Carrie yourself…”? Hmmm.

Craig Finn voice: “She’s got those jagged metal pieces/That she used to use to slice/the tires outside the Cracker Barrel/where she gave her life to Christ…”

Intelligent, articulate, taking no shit. This is what resistance sounds like.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Ronnie Rondell, Stuntman Set on Fire for Pink Floyd Cover, Dies at 88

The definition of “slow burn.”

“Mr. POO-tihn.”

Ordered some items, hope that’s ok.

I remember David Morrell telling me how he and some others spent an afternoon firing weapons at a car’s gas tank without the vehicle *ever* exploding into a massive fireball.

That is a short and powerful list, sir.

Reboot of The Warriors where a handful of kids have to fight their way through a nightscape of government thugs to deliver evidence of a sitting President’s complicit actions.

Anything — literally ANYTHING — to control the news cycle and keep the attention off the files.

None of those hot dogs will ever get eaten…☹️

I can definitely recommend Freaky, which was also directed by Christopher Landon, and works as comedic horror (with a heart!)

Down to be wrong.

Got to meet Penn Jillette tonight at Book Passage in Corte Madera. Great talk about magic, juggling, math, and bullshit.
