Aw man. RIP Tom Noonan. Such a great presence. Never in as much as stuff as you'd want, but certainly made all those appearances special.

Seeing some of my end titles on the big screen tonight. Always a fun little thrill. I chose being a dad over pursuing grander ambitions in the post production world, sticking with my day job and doing these on the side for friends, but that means every now and then I get to see my own name up there.

Grilling the crowd with MY BLOODY VALENTINE trivia. Did you know Neil "Axel" Affleck went on to direct seven episodes of THE SIMPSONS? That's almost a full percent of them!

What is a movie that is so important to you that if someone tells you they haven't seen it, you stop everything you're doing and watch it with them?

Best bosses (and Angel too, whenever her anniversary is!). Indulging, occasionally even ENCOURAGING my quirky whims at every turn. Hero behavior.
Each year I miss it by one more day, I guess? Anyway, happy eight years (!!) at Fango to me and @mereborders.bsky.social. Thanks for keeping me sane(ish) through this weird ride ❤️
… that yesterday was @mereborders.bsky.social’s seven-year anniversary with Fango, an even bigger deal, frankly. And I’d like to take the occasion to say that neither I nor Fango would be here seven years later if not for Meredith. She’s the magazine’s secret weapon and its beating heart. The best ❤️

Actually getting a CA refund for once. My secret? Having them take an additional 50 bucks per check on top of the standard. I don't miss it every week, but now I feel like I'm getting a bonus (of my own money coming back to me).
Psychology, baby!

I wonder if the goons who come up with the numbers for taxes ever realize that if they would just stop taxing me so much on my freelance income, they'd probably make more money. Take 10-20% like my normal job and I won't bother writing things off! When you take *40%*? I'll write off an airport soda.

Several years later, I am watching Netflix's LOST IN SPACE. Enjoying so far; also wondering how many reviews at the time were titled "LOST, in space" re: the flashback structure.
No animated monkey (yet?) so that's good.

For 26 years I've been trying to understand what version of Godfather 3 that Randy saw where it somehow changed things we thought we knew about the first two. #Scream3

Very excited for 20 years from now when the fresh genre filmmakers are making love letters to all the trauma horror they grew up with.

My favorite part of any given day is deleting 31 second voicemails from IRS tax scam calls from New York.

The onscreen title is Halloween H20: 20 Years Later.
But H20 *means* Halloween 20. So the actual full title is HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN 20: 20 YEARS LATER

Aw. RIP Robert Duvall. He didn't make a lot of junk, but even when he did it was that much more fun when he was on screen. Hell, he got the only laugh out of me in the otherwise intolerable FOUR CHRISTMASES.

I am almost 46 years old, and I like to drink. I have obviously been to many bars in my life. Tonight was the first time I asked to close my tab only to be told by the bartender that he closed out/gave my card to a different person entirely.
How fucking incompetent do you have to be to do this?

B. "Likely" with her speeding vehicle? Are they saying it's possible she did it with a sword or something?

The party we planned to go to tonight got canceled. Should be easy enough to get a reservation for a Saturday night on a romantic holiday, right? 🤣

Probably kind of funny for a kidnapper when their phone goes off with an Amber Alert they are responsible for. I bet they screenshot it.

Just beat Martyr Logarius on my second try with 13 blood vials remaining. I wasn't aware I turned into GOD since my first playthru (30+ tries). #bloodborne

Everything I know about love I learned from Jim Steinman songs. Which is why I am frequently making love to ghosts while riding a motorcycle.

@cooperlund.online well you turned replies off like the cool guy you are but i'm at a bar now in LA paying that much. Ditto Nola, Boston, etc. The point is, $17 is not unheard of. Yes, you can get cheaper. That's not the issue, because some places cost even more. But go off if makes you feel better.
