My love language is reading the phrase "love language", looking it up, discovering it's some American Christian thing, saying aloud "who am I, Billy Graham?" and watching the movie "Ronin" (1998, Directed by John Frankenhiemer) instead.

Starting the new year with a freshly recorded dialog track for a new animated film is a really good way to feel hopeful about 2026 even despite *waves hands around vaguely* all this.

we in this country (and, I'd argue, the world, but I'm not here to argue tonight) are challenged to make of our present situation something better. it's a tall order

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Don't be a fucking loser

just saw bigfoot walking kinda quickly through a field; he shrugged at me and said "eh, it's a living!" No idea how he profits from this.

I loved Guillaume Pierret's LAST BULLET, now on Netflix. If you're not familiar, this follows LOST BULLET and LOST BULLET 2 in an outstanding action/crime trilogy known for its incredible car chases (though the fist fights also rule).

the central fallacy of the internet is the easily falsifiable claim that conversation is good

Nobody is stealing your idea. Nobody is going to steal your idea. Nobody can steal your idea.

Ideas are worthless. They're not stories. They're not books. They're not movies. They're not even scaffolds on which to hang those things.

Several renowned Czech filmmakers died recently, but the passing of Václav Vorlíček (1930-2019) garnered far less international attention than that of Miloš Forman or Jiří Menzel. They all made superb comedies, but Forman and Menzel were part of the Western arthouse-friendly Czechoslovak New Wave.

A perfect album that came out when I was 21

Happy birthday to the inimitable Werner Herzog.

In 2022, I found a copy of my favourite comedy special and vowed to transfer it in the highest quality possible. Two years later, I have become a DIY archivist, because I realized that nobody else will save the art I love for me. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/the-person-s...
