I'm of the opinion that clothes and people should smell like nothing until your nose is actually touching them. Pretty sure you're going to see me in a documentary about Tide Lung in 25 years, just from this single exposure.

Smells like something you'd use to dissolve a body.

Threw in a Tide pod sample we got with our new laundry machine and sweet holy hell, I don't know what I'm inhaling, but I do know that it is killing me.

Deeply my shit (unfussy documentary filmmaking about the disappearing knowledge of our elders that really listens to its subjects). Will be watching the other two films in the trilogy. www.villagevoice.com/prairie-tril...

"A psychological trip on a disgusting marketing system run by a bunch of gambling perverts." Socialist farmers all seem to be poets by nature.

Rebel Earth (1980), on Criterion Channel. A reminder that labour rights have barely had time to grow roots.

Unless they're on an MGM soundstage, that is.

Well I got 1.5kg of chocolate at $14 off. Thank you, capitalist overlords. If you need me, I'll be under dozens of tiny wrappers.

There's something about a woman that can drive a man to heinous acts of violence. And that something is a bouncy head of dark brown hair.

If I wear this gauzy shirt and no underwear, will I have time to scarf down a sandwich before I get murdered?

Personal insecurity brought on by too much giallo. Is my body oily enough for wandering around the house? Should I be freshly applying a pale mint eyeshadow before I get in the bath? Why is my blood such a dull shade of red?

I know that's not the world we're living in anymore, but that won't stop me from yelling it in the grocery store this morning.

Cronenberg rules. After letting these settle a bit, THE FLY might get an extra half star, which I'm going to take from HEREDITARY.

The back of the 1943 Dell paperback edition of The Phantom of the Opera has a map of the Paris Opera House with all the important locations marked. Dell published hundreds of books, now known as Mapbacks, with similar maps on the back covers. #PhantomsFriday

Parked next to a cemetery to eat lunch and a couple is arguing at full volume about the location of a loved one's grave. Happy Halloween!
