I feel like @colleensmangarecs.bsky.social needs to know about James Rusameekae on the reality show Physical Asia. During his introduction he came out in heels and struck a Sailor Moon pose and another competitor thought he was casting a spell

Did a writeup on Way of the Gun for Perisphere. It's playing at @trylon.org as part of a McQuarrie double feature next weekend. I don't think any of us could have predicted him becoming Tom Cruise's go-to guy back then, but here we are! www.perisphere.org/2025/11/21/d...

Good episode. One aspect of the western film genre that hardly, if ever, gets mentioned is its relationship to the western pulp/paperback/pbo
A fair bit of western films, including many classics, were adaptations of western novels/novellas/novellettes/short stories

Hey everyone. Sorry to be asking with things the way they are , but the power steering pump is almost dead on our car and it’s going to cost around $1000 to fix. It’s an older Mazda and it’s tucked into the most awkward place ever! And it’s original to the car. IYKYK. WD-40 going to make a fortune.

Need @dieworkwear.bsky.social to tell me about that sleeve
So, I've never seen a photo of Dashiell Hammett before today. This is him in 1951, when he would have been in his mid-50s.
