Exactly, this is someone giving a book report without having actually read the book. Heretofore undiscovered levels of cringe.

“He desired. He desired desiring. He desired being desired. He desired desire itself.”

The only Aunt Gladys prequel I will accept is one that reveals that Gladys is actually Chanice from UNCLE BUCK.

You could write an entire doctoral thesis on this one ad, no joke. Incredible things happening here (derogatory).

Gentle reminder that I am going to be on TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES (!!!!) on Monday for an evening of programming that we put together. I hope you'll be able to tune in. Love y'all.

MST3K just removed something from deeeep in my lost memories: truth, dare, double-dare, promise, or repeat. I haven’t heard that expression in decades. Holy shit.

an illustration of Elizabeth and The Creature from Guillermo Del Tero’s Frankenstein - a woman with long red hair holds an orange leaf while a pale bald skeletal figure gently touches her neck. the background is swirls of teals, mustards and pale yellows

a leaf? for me? thank you 🍁

"Cultural facilities, such as cinemas and theaters, are the beating hearts of our communities because they contribute to making them more human. If a city is alive, it is thanks in part to its cultural spaces. We must inhabit these spaces and build relationships within them, day after day." "Nonetheless, cinemas are experiencing a troubling decline, with many being removed from cities and neighborhoods. More than a few people are saying that the art of cinema and the cinematic experience are in danger. I urge institutions not to give up, but to cooperate in affirming the social and cultural value of this astivity." - Pope Leo XIV

Amen

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

A sheep staring at me insouciantly moments after it has set fire to the world.

Right now Trump is asking an aide to download Text with Jesus so he can get a definitive answer on the heaven situation.

We never should have let people get away with using “literally” for emphasis.

The Adventures of Pete & Pete - Season 1, Episode 1: King of the Road

I desperately wish my dad were here so that I could see his face when I tell him about Text with Jesus. I can hear his booming laugh now.

Thanks for the smile, Text with Jesus. Now go back to 30 Rock or UHF or whichever circle of hell whence you came.

Embracing my cat lady truth has sincerely been one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life.

He’s come inside the house a few times now! He just took a few steps in with the door open, but it’s progress! He’s so sweet and affectionate. 💜

Today is the first time he’s used it since I put it together and I almost cried when I saw him. It made me so happy.

A grey cat’s head pokes out of the door of a tiny little house on a deck. He is perfect and Jessica hopes she can convince him that it’s safe and warm and nice inside her house.

I am annoying the hell out of my very small circle of close friends by obsessing over the feral cat I’m trying to convince to move in with me. It is occasionally an adequate distraction from The Horrors, but it’s also just how I’m built. Here he is snoozing in his outdoor shelter.

Just realized he sounds like the computer overlord in Alphaville

An email subject line: “You have unused AI feature credits. Make creating easier than ever.”

And they will remain unused, motherfucker.

I am so sorry, Drew.

Hey, if you know ANYTHING about this, please help identify the driver in this hit-and-run. They just killed a very old and dear friend of mine and I am shattered by this news.

A black and white photo, presumably a headshot, of a young Keir Dullea. He is seen from the chest up and sits with his arms out in front of him. His body faces the left side of the photo and he turns his head to face the camera, looking up and to the right side of the photo. The man has a nice head of hair.

A Saltburn red carpet photo of a weary-looking Jacob Elordi. He wears a suit and tie and is shown from the chest up. His hair is incredible.

A red carpet photo of Jacob Elordi once again looking like he’d rather be anywhere else…I don’t mean that in a rude way, but in a “doing PR for a movie sounds like the most awful, exhausting thing ever” way. I get it. Anyway: he wears a black pinstripe suit and a wide-lapeled yellow shirt with a gold chain. He looks like the love interest in a romantic comedy about the mob. His hair, always and forever, is fantastic.

A Getty Images photo of Keir Dullea smiling and holding up a drink as he sits on a sofa. He wears a suit and tie and has terrific hair.

I’ve always found Jacob Elordi mysteriously unsettling, and I finally figured out why: he reminds me of Keir Dullea, who has set me on edge since I first saw him in BLACK CHRISTMAS as a teenager.
