a post for our times

All I could think when I saw it was, “I love da movies.”

I will be riding the high of seeing One Battle After Another in IMAX 70mm for a long time.

Star Wars Holocron @sw_holocron: Did you know? The Sith Eternal fleet seen in #StarWars: #TheRiseofSkywalker was created by Sith cultists on Exegol, who indoctrinated Exegol's population with Sith values and raised and trained their children to become officers, mechanics and soldiers for the Final Order. Elijah Wood @elijahwood (verified): no. how could we have known?

thinking about this and cracking up

My years of obsessing over Paul Thomas Anderson’s filmography have finally paid off

me before and after shelling out to see One Battle After Another in IMAX

John Carpenter is the master of horror and keeping it real. Here Carpenter lights a cigarette and talks about why he stopped going to the “Masters of Horror” dinner parties.

Hell yeah

I’m glad that everyone is now in agreement that John Carpenter rules. It’s about time.

Three doors, kicking open the third door meme. Door 1: New films. Door 2: Films suggested by friends. Door 3: A film directed by John Carpenter.

Hell yeah

headline reading John Carpenter on being a master of horror: "I just want to play video games"

Charlie Rose itemizing a cast of characters

We have “Ghetto" Pat Calhoun aka Bob Ferguson. We have Perfidia Beverly Hills. We have Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw. We have Sensei Sergio St. Carlos. We have Junglepussy. We have Gringo Coyote. We have the Christmas Adventurers, including Roy More and Virgil Throckmorton. We have all these characters.

My goal is to memory-hole most of what they say to me

Every big tech company sucks shit

Going to start saying, “I’m calling in a Gray Hawk 10” whenever I’ve had enough.

Steven Spielberg said to Paul Thomas Anderson about One Battle After Another, “What an insane movie you made.” You love to see it.

The Zone of Interest (2023). Christian Friedel as Rudolf Höss. A stairway in an office in Berlin in 1943. In the center of the frame is darkness. The abyss.

apropos of recent events

text on a page: October Country... that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain...

"The problem with comedians is they want to be thought of as smart. Whereas I think a comedian should want to be thought of as funny." – Norm Macdonald

time and time again, the people in charge prove to be the biggest idiots, only matched by the idiotic people who write nice things about them.

Happy birthday!

Charlie Brown sitting up in his bed. His speech bubble say, “My anxieties have anxieties.”

Happy 75 years to a depressed and anxious king

A Peanuts comic panel. Charlie Brown leans against a fence wearing a Stetson. A girl with a bow in her hair is walking by, asking "What's the matter, Charlie Brown?" He replies: "I'm a lonesome cowboy."

I can hear this in his voice.

Space Ghost and Zorak are featured in two panels. In the first panel, Space Ghost is being whacked on the head with a spiked mace weapon. In the second panel, Space Ghost turns around and sees that he was whacked on the head by Zorak.

everyone needs a friend like Zorak
