Clipping? Joy Division.
OutKast? New Order.
Mobb Deep? Joy Division.
Kanye? New Order, then Joy Division.

What makes a "Western" is no longer the wide open spaces but the presence of men like John Wayne, James Stewart, Robert Mitchum, and Burt Lancaster, grinning with their big new choppers, sucking their guts up into their chests, and hauling themselves onto horses. (1967)

Dense clouds in a dark night sky barely obscure a bright white full moon

Dense clouds in a dark night sky barely obscure a bright white full moon

The sky was so sick last night

sketched hands outstretched, palms up, as if holding something. an abstract digital background of blue and teal shapes. Printed on top of it all, the phrase: "NOT YET"

two sketched hands holding a card, which reads "Don't Leave the House Today." Wild abstract shapes of various colors and gradients make up the background

A single sketched back of a hand flanked by digital blue pillars in front and behind, and stamped boldly atop everything the phrase "Please be nice to me"

Sketched hands with fingers crossed together atop a black box, with a background of digital blue shapes. The phrase "Temporal Pincer" is stamped at the top of the image

throwback to a little weird art project I did a couple years back called "a gesture, in combination with a word." Inspired by that very phrase--from Tenet--I sketched hand gestures from movies & TV in MS Paint, added digital background elements, then printed phrases with an antique letter press

DVD cover for the Walt Disney Treasures release Tomorrowland: Disney in Space and Beyond

Oooh the Walt Disney Treasures. Especially ones like On the Front Lines or Tomorrowland, which compile a lot of terrific material alongside commentary that hasn't carried over to streaming editions (if material was carried over at all--e.g. Victory Through Air Power isn't on Disney+)

does an outlet exist that would pay me to cover the Three Rivers Film Festival? Is that a thing? What Pittsburgh publications exist that might field that prospect

Maybe this is a hard pivot and he's actually playing older Val Kilmer

Leonardo DiCaprio is more or less exactly as old as De Niro was in Heat but okay

If you haven’t checked it out, I’d love to you to listen to the new Box Office GROSS episode, it’s one of my favorite movies of this whole project so far, and one so few people seem to have seen!

can't believe the new Tron, directed by RANDOM GUY DISNEY REGULARLY TASKS WITH MAKING SLOP, is bad

she was talking about Hitch (2005)

I don't trust anyone who doesn't admit having at some time in his life enjoyed trashy American movies; I don't trust any of the tastes of people who were born with such good taste that they didn't need to find their way through trash. (1969)

The Star Wars prequel DVDs have extensive, basically feature-length making-ofs that the blurays remove

this is making me want to construct an avant-garde film out of establishing shots from Pete & Pete

sick poster for a sick movie

not good

the side-eye puppet meme

me, a Trail of Dead AND Amanda Palmer AND Satoshi Kon fan unaware of this song throwing it on asap

An alt-comedy/horror angle to this:

Top 10 Wisconsin Dells Haunted Houses for Free Pulled Pork (2021)
Coreys (2024)
Enterings (2022)
Great Choice (2017)
Too Many Cooks (even though I don't really like it...) (2014)

the Drake yes/no meme. Drake says no to the lyric "Started from the bottom now we're here" from Drake's song "Started From the Bottom Now We're Here." Drake, with the head of Paddy McAloon from Prefab Sprout, says yes to the lyric "Worked himself up from the dirt on the ground" from the Prefab Sprout song "Ghost Town Blues"

Big Will Smith energy without near the same level of charisma or shrewdness in selecting projects

This has been the running theme of his film career as well I would say

Don't be a fan--just be Dob Mob

Hmm I dunno I thought he single-handedly dragged Fast & Furious back from the abyss with his big muscles???

Gonna be so funny when little Timmy Chalamet eats The Rock’s box office lunch and gets the Oscar nom The Rock desperately wants for some reason

You can’t control box office results but you CAN choose to be in interesting movies giving interesting performances and build up commercial goodwill instead of conditioning audiences to assume you only star in rancid streaming slop made to sell your tequila

WOW this Stevie song rocks, did not know I needed something to sound exactly like this
