wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

I think of him every time I hear Teenage Dirtbag. The only thing I liked about It Chapter 2 was him being in it. This is so sad.

One of my favorite actors period. A true ringer, someone who elevated material just by showing up. His funny, unaffected delivery was unparalleled. There’s like half a dozen GENERATION KILL scenes that ran through my head after hearing the news. I found this one the quickest.

How How the Grinch Stole Christmas Stole Christmas Three hundred wigs. Too many cigarettes. Not enough money. How an “almost anti-Christmas movie” became a holiday classic.

If you don’t subscribe to Vulture, this is the reason to do so: an oral history that only @bilgeebiri.bsky.social would think to do, one that’s shocking with each new story, pitched at the moment right before crazy CGI made everything boring. The “green salve” indeed. www.vulture.com/article/how-...

took me a moment, it’s Highest 2 Lowest

@Jingleghost “You will see me one more time it you do-a good. You will see me two-a more times if you do bad” Mario dressed up as a cowboy

"I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING STRANGERS ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING TRAIN"

A panel from the Peanuts comic strip. Snoopy typing away on top of his home. The text above him reads, “Like all great writers, I have known suffering.”

Wife and I were looking up the origins of archaic curses and learned “gadzooks” stems from “God’s hooks,” aka the nails holding Christ to the cross. In the process, however, the toddler heard us and is now happily chanting “GOD’S HOOKS GOD’S HOOKS GOD’S HOOKS!”

Baptistin Baille, in a letter to Zola, describing their mutual friend Paul Cézanne, then age 19: "that poetic, fantastic, jovial, erotic, antique, physical, geometrical friend of ours."

movies should be gay

Fortunato (coughing): You’re certain the Criterion Closet is down here

Montresor (picking up a trowel): Definitely. Have you thought about your picks yet

Coyote pups at Graceland Cemetery!

Screenshot of an article. “Bisexual lighting is the simultaneous use of pink, purple, and blue lighting to represent bisexual characters. It has been used…” A photo of R.J. MacReady (Kurt Russell) from John Carpenter’s The Thing. He is holding a bundle of dynamite and a flare. The lighting does look bisexual. The caption for the photo reads, “A shot of Kurt Russel in 1982's The Thing showcasing bisexual lighting, because the thing is bisexual.”

makes sense

Richard Pryor shouldn't be cast at all—he should be realized. He has desperate, mad characters coming out his pores, and we want to see how far he can go with them. (1977)

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey?

guard: [looking away] fine

wife: did something happen?

guard: [tearing up] no

wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

an article in an Arlington paper headed "the owls are not what they seem"

now this is hard hitting journalism

A cool thing about me is that I'm an expert in how popes are selected because I've seen the 2024 film Conclave.

View from the Projection Booth

Sure, I was probably too young to be watching It’s Garry Shandling’s Show when it aired, but my parent’s lack of oversight meant I got hooked on a brill meta comedy with a ridiculously memorable theme song.

Highest 2 Lowest - hitting cinemas (?) later this year.

It's Spike Lee: blankcheckpod.com/march-madness

i thought turturro looked particularly dashing in his leather jacket tonight

george constanza with the caption: “i gotta focus. i’m shifting to mickey 17 mode.”

Immense congratulations to the wonderful Sean Baker, who once honored the Music Box with a profile in Sight & Sound🥰🥰🥰

Martin Scorsese reflects on the loss of David Lynch:

David Lynch in sunglasses saying "i hope you all are having a lot of fun working on your favorite projects"

Honor his memory by doing something strange, unraveling a riddle within yourself, and working on your favorite projects.

Love this production, especially Andrea Runge as Viola! Perhaps my favorite interpretation of that character

Who was in charge of font spacing for this episode of MR. ED?

Masked Rodney Dangerfield entering the Eyes Wide Shut sex manse and pulling at the collar of his cloak. "Seems like a real open-minded crowd tonight," he says. "Fidelio, by the way."
