Sure seems like an academy award for acting is a great way to get commercial work.
It would be cool if the Academy eliminated the Best Song award.

Is Leo going to take best actor?
I really wanted MARTY SUPREME to take that one.
It’s the “they don’t make em like that anymore” bias.
Ezra Klein: “He was blocking people the right way”
Looks like I’m going to New Jersey in May to see The Feelies. One night playing CRAZY RHYTHM and one playing THE FOOD EARTH. I’ve never seen them and they confirmed these are their only shows of 2026.
This seems like a very financially responsible decision.
SNL really needs to bring back the “no breaking during a sketch” rule.
I still have my Code Red MESSIAH too, even though the Radiance beats it handily.
Not saying that they should give PSYCHO KILLER or K-POPS screens to NIRVANNA, but they would definitely be making more money if they did.
Down to one showing a day for NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE at AMC Century City and it’s near capacity every day. Maybe add some more showings back @amctheatres.bsky.social ?

Notable TV first watch of LONESOME DOVE.
Weird month.
THE BREACH?
Letterboxd can’t just start referring to LA RUPTURE as THE BREACH! We need some kind of law in place to keep randomly foreign titles consistently randomly foreign.
Good mail day. I haven’t seen EXCALIBUR for over 20 years and I’m pretty sure that was on VHS, so this 4K disc will be a considerable upgrade.
Okay everyone’s asleep and I’m organizing my 7” records. I have two copies of Built To Spill - Car, one is a reworking of the jacket of Jim Croce and the other is Bruce Springsteen. I don’t actively search for these but if I find another one, I will buy it too.
Definitely noticed that too. Good price for a change.
Good mail day, pt 2. One of my favorite albums from last year from Ninajirachi and a great release from this year by Mandy Indiana. Also received the Angel Guts Collection boxset from @thirdwindowfilms.com for the sickos.
Good mail day. Had to order this half-speed master pressing of Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden (even though I already own two other copies of the original vinyl release), I’m sure it will sound great and this will be my play copy. I hope they do an audiophile pressing for Laughing Stock next.
Two of Rollin’s best. THE IRON ROSE is also great, if you don’t have that yet…
Fave of each year so far:
2020: LOVERS ROCK
2021: MEMORIA
2022: THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN
2023: FERRARI
2024: CHALLENGERS
2025: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER
Local thrift store has been slowly been rolling comic books out on the floor for last few months. I’m not really a comic book guy but I picked up a bunch today. All of them were $1 and these are probably the highlights:
Good mail day. Some very good live bootlegs making the rounds in Los Angeles record stores right now. I had to grab all four of these: Television, Big Star, The Modern Lovers and The Velvet Underground.
The scenes between Robert Duvall and Anjelica Huston in LONESOME DOVE are so lovely.
Great drummer or greatest drummer?
Gonna finally watch LONESOME DOVE, I remember Duvall saying that was his best work and I’ve put it off for too long.
That movie is awesome.
Listening to new album URGH by Mandy, Indiana with headphones is an experience I highly recommend.
