Untitled Colonel Sanders Biopic

Making my first trip to the theater this year to do this double feature.

Got my “new” vcr up and running. Played an unlabeled tape I had. A football game from my dad recorded. I watched the commercial breaks. Multiple ads for the James Woods show “Shark” and the ill-fated Jimmy Smits vehicle “Cane”. Many Geico ads. And this Odd Couple themed Jared Subway ad

Hey Jane Austen novel Pride and prejudice and knuckles

Drawing of a duck looking at a flier for curling lessons

A duck pushing a curling broom

That same duck on a podium winning first prize with a medal and crown

A few months ago I got the story of a duck who aspires to curling greatness stuck in my brain and simply couldn't get it out until I did this

The corporate media continues to minimize elite complicity in this administration’s cruel policies. This is not a nameless Ninja Turtle. This is Michaelangelo. Name and shame these guys!

Rob Reiner was one of the few celebs whose involvement in politics and activism felt genuine and was rooted in good faith

This court finds you guilty and sentences you to drive into a fake tunnel painted on a brick wall until death 👩‍⚖️

I was the assistant editor on MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO. I have 9000 stories from that time, and many of them feature this man who passed away this morning, Udo Kier. He would talk about Fassbinder, Warhol and Paul Morrissey for hours. I was so lucky to get to know Udo and he will be missed by so many.

Bill Clinton's dick is the lament configuration that has cursed american politics for the entirety of my lifetime

Got this at Goodwill. Beautiful packaging. We used to be a proper country.

In the Santa Clause films if you kill Santa, you become him. If two men stab Santa in the heart simultaneously, do they each become Santa? Do they merge into one man that becomes the new Santa? Some other third scenario?

We’re staying at my mother in law’s for the night. We absolutely aced bringing everything we needed for the baby. Something was bound to be forgotten.

Cut benefits, force the poor to commit “crimes” of survival, arrest them. Can’t afford bail? Straight to jail.

Free labor for corporations and private investors.

The suffering is the point.

Saying this after pulling the trigger on the blu ray of Rain Man because I’m trying to own Every Tom Cruise movie. Haven’t watched Rain Man in decades. Haven’t seen Clockwork Orange in probably 15 years. Moments from both are burnt into my brain (“Wopner” “A bit of the old ultra violence”).

Clockwork Orange 4K for $10.99 on Amazon. Great deal, great movie but it’s a real “when the fuck am I going to watch this again?” movie when you’re a 35 year old man with a child. If this was a movie I was going to own on disc (I have a vhs) wouldn’t I have owned it by now?

Father Time is undefeated.

Father Thyme, however, is a mediocre chef and has lost many, many cooking competitions.

Got these for $2 at the library. They aren’t shrink wrapped but both still have those weird stickers sealing it shut that all DVDs had on them for awhile.

Loved One Battle After Another. Could see it going higher even but for right now this feels right to me

Dusting off the ol’ PTA ranking. He’s made movies that are objectively better but it would be a lie for me to put anything besides PDL in the #1 stlot. It’s deeply special to me. There are no bad movies here, just some I respond to less

If sometime in the next few days you go browsing for DVDs you could potentially leave with a copy of The Jerk for both you and a friend. One of these is still shrink wrapped

About to really plus up my local Goodwill’s movie selection. Really barely getting rid of anything. I own another copy of all of these. Except for “4 episodes of The Greatest American Hero” which I bought at a Dollar Tree in 2011. I’m ready to admit I’m never going to watch that.

“Please, Dr. Longing was my father, you can call me Dave”

“Hey, let’s watch Longing tonight. It’s on ‘howdy’”

“Woah. Better sign up for ‘howdy’ they have Longing on there”

These are sentences that have never been uttered

This looks like a fake movie in a movie where Richard Gere is playing a fictional actor. “howdy” also sounds like a fictitious streaming service.
