Diary of a Modern Insomniac i really need to get an editor.

Hello. After not sleeping for like 10 days I wrote this crazed essay (rant?) about being an insomniac in today's entertainment-filled world. This idea came to me between Frasier episodes at 4:45 in the morning. Read it if you want (or dont.)

In case you missed it: I took a look at Mike Nichols 1998 film Primary Colors to see how it holds up in 2026, especially in light of Bill Clinton’s increasingly clear involvement with Epstein. Happy Presidents Day(?)!!

Ghosts of Clintons Past (and Present) in 'Primary Colors' Today's essay is timely and relevant while also being about a random movie I like from 1998. The dream has been achieved.

After an 8-year break, the Clintons are back in the news. I revisited Mike Nichols’ Primary Colors to see if the "New Democrat" magic still holds up. Spoiler: The road to Jeffrey Epstein is paved with charismatic handshakes. maxbolen.substack.com/p/ghosts-of-...

REVIEW: Maya Rudolph dies and goes to hell in Seth Rogen's spectacular 'The Muppet Show' Special YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Those who know me are aware that I am a HUGE Muppet fan. It is my absolute pleasure to announce that the new Muppet Show Special from Seth Rogen is quite delightful, and feels exactly like the old show in all the best ways. Please read my full review here: substacktools.com/sharex/BfIXM...

REVIEW: Leni Riefenstahl can rest easy knowing that Brett Ratner's 'MELANIA' doesn't hold a torch to her best efforts. Not all propaganda is made equally.

Please read my review of the Melania movie, which is terrible and devoid of any substance. The disdain she has for America is astounding. open.substack.com/pub/maxbolen...

AOC on CNN talking about the Trump administration's attempts to create "flash points" and incite a class war. Speaking my language.

WATCH:
Kristi Noem stumbles awkwardly through a press conference full of lies.

Watching the Kristi Noem press conference and the people behind her (FEMA workers) look MORTIFIED

One Battle After Another > Marty Supreme > Sinners > Secret Agent >Bugonia > Sentimental Value > F1 > Frankenstein

did not see: Hamnet or Train Dreams. 🎥🍿🎬🎞️🎦📽️

deeply weird thing to say considering that SINNERS was universally praised -- it didn't just...randomly show up today at the nominations. Plus: the year Black Panther supposedly got "White Guilt" nominations GREEN BOOK won best picture. Weird to not mention that!

In an attempt to be less active on Twitter and more active here I will post what I’m reading in a thread Ob Here. Right now I am reading The Fort Bragg Cartell by Seth Harp

I think it is unfair to say he lies constantly and do not think calling people freaks is productive, don’t this for my benefit.

I am shocked at how dishonest you are being about this. It’s really disappointing.

I wrote about Joe Biden and how the Democratic Party is basically just a death cult now. I tried to go through Biden's frankly embarrassing history, and sprinkle in some of that coveted "White Gen Z College Student" commentary! Link below :)
