Thumbnail images of the covers of the original motion picture soundtracks for Pulp Fiction (Uma Thurman lying on her stomach, smoking while reading pulps); Lost Highway (a two-lane blacktop at night as seen from the driver's seat of a car, the asphalt road partly lit by a car's headlights; and Taxi Driver, Bernard Herrmann's final score (Robert DeNiro as deranged cabbie Travis Bickle, looking anxious and hostile while standing in front of his cab). Identical covers to two different version of the Sinners soundtrack, on vinyl and CD, respectively; both versions have identical over artwork, a stylized illustration of the main cast members with their faces arranged in  an inverted pyramid, with star Michael B. Jordan up at the top as twin brothers Stack and Smoke. Left to right: The Covers of Angela Davis' Blues Legacies and Black Feminism (including Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald; Woman and the Piano, a history of women virtuosos, illustrated by an image of a woman in a ruffly white 19th century dress seated at a piano, as seen from the back; and Boozd & Vinyl 2, which has a shelf full of expressionistically lit albums on a shelf, spines out.

‘I Love Boosters’ review: Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie and Taylour Paige anchor Boots Riley’s anarchic SXSW opener LaKeith Stanfield, Demi Moore and Don Cheadle also star in riotous pro-union comedy

Boots Riley’s I LOVE BOOSTERS is a lot, a lot. But I don’t think I’d have a Riley film any other way.

Also making a workers of the world unite film in 2026 is rad.

Oh thank you so much! I studied those a bunch when I went back to school so when I revisited THE HOWLING in like 2022 to write about it for the ISOD book, it changed so much about how I saw the movie.

I love the part in this about the Colony and how it's a sly satire of EST-type cults of the early '80s, something I noticed when I saw it a few years ago at the same time The Americans had Phillip falling in with EST.

That’s what I have been wondering. I have to get on the line now with the debt consolidation company now to try and see just why it’s happening but their law firm sent me the letter about it this morning and I’m just so confused and scared. Ugh.

All I have at this point is my car and I just cannot lose my car.

Anyway, looks like it’s time to start selling off my career again in case anyone wants a limited edition Chucky or Tiffany doll from the CHUCKY series…

I hate all of this so much.

I found out this morning that even though I have been paying off Discover through my debt consolidation program, they are moving forward w/their lawsuit against me & somehow I’m going to need to come up with $2617 by 4/9 when it goes back to court.

Doing my best to not just give up totally. Sigh.
