Spooky Szn begins (it never ended) and I return from the grave for #moviemonday to talk about one of my favorites, an under appreciated gem from the greatest himself, John Carpenter:

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

It is #moviemonday once again, and I thought I’d share a movie that everyone but me was already ahead of the curve on. Late to the party with the absolutely room temp take that Martin Scorsese makes masterpieces

NEW: ChatGPT is causing chaos in marriages, as one spouse becomes deeply fixated on AI therapy/advice/spiritual wisdom — alienating the other spouse and, often, resulting in divorce.

In some cases, ChatGPT-enmeshed spouses are using the tech to bully their partners.

For this week’s #moviemonday, I’m talking about a movie from this year that really surprised me. Amy Berg’s doc on Jeff Buckley, IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY. This one really knocked me out.

Coming out of nowhere to drop some of the most exciting music in ages, and @nin.com are doing it for a soundtrack album under their own name. They can’t help but surprise

Had the great fortune to snag a blu ray copy of Albert Pyun’s posthumously released director’s cut of CAPTAIN AMERICA, which I watched this weekend. I’m a Pyun fan, but this still knocked my socks off. So for #MovieMonday let’s talk about the erroneously derided CAPTAIN AMERICA
