Second half gets by entirely on the atmosphere of the first plus the performances of Lugosi and Frye (Van Sloan to an extent though his Van Helsing is a little stiff). A primary exhibit in the argument that a movie doesn’t have to be ”good” in order to be Good.

People (including King) slag his performance because they say he’s playing crazy from the jump, but Nicholson isn’t giving a bad performance as a good guy - Torrance is. The movie is about the mask coming off. “You’ve always been the caretaker.”

The Brewers, it would seem, know how to hate.

One of the best shows I’ve ever seen!

At the Nine Inch Nails show. What a crowd. Goth representatives of the entire human spectrum, someone dressed as Jesus just walked into the pit, and I’m sitting between two guys who look like podiatrists.

It is a season on insistence, and on top of everything else that makes it incredibly suspect to me.

They’ve had the easiest possible job these past few days - make it clear that the President of the United States is still alive - and they’ve barely been able to do that.

“Cracker Barrel has gone woke” is a statement as baffling as it was perhaps inevitable.

There’s a certain type of Online Person for whom “movie good or bad” is their only frame of reference for anything and so any post related to or referencing film is an activation of their Manchurian Candidate reply guy programming.

“Where do you land in this mayoral race, and in particular on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ?”

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social STILL won’t endorse Zohran — gives gutless, rambling answer instead.

(Related: Per @trackaipac.bsky.social Jeffries has received nearly $2 Million from AIPAC)

I shouldn’t be shocked that “giving voters an opportunity to discuss the merits of potential presidential candidates three years out from an election is self-destructive” is a sidestep away from “human rights should be negotiable” but I sometimes forget how many people have oatmeal for brains.
