I'm a purist who believes posts are meant to be ephemeral and "pinning" them is sacrilegious, like forcing the wind to stay in a shoebox

Diane Keaton could have directed Annie Hall but Woody Allen could NEVER have directed the music video for Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth"

For day 284 of my year long retrospective on made for TV movies that need a DVD/Blu Ray release, I chose the remake of Sorry, Wrong Number, which originally aired OTD in 1989. Loni Anderson is very good as the bedridden woman who overhears someone planning a murder when her phone lines gets crossed

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.

You know a free app that's been around forever but somehow hasn't been enshitified?

SHAZAM.

Still free, still works great, no stupid extra features nobody asked for. Just a big button.

And it adds everything you scan to a playlist for you too.

Mine is 5hr long. (I've used Shazam a while)

I will admit to occasionally having the problem of greeting a new genre blu-ray announcement with "Those movies are terrible! I hated them all 30 years ago! I will buy this immediately"

It is very much a Hal Hartley film! (A high recommendation for me but possibly not for all)

HBO MaXXXinoparsnip @dekkoparsnip2.bsky.social · 1d

I contributed to the kickstarter so I got a blu-ray, but I thought it had gotten other distribution already?

It's fine! A couple nice moments and numbers, it's... something that made me finally watch the original movie?

HBO MaXXXinoparsnip @dekkoparsnip2.bsky.social · 1d

Are people even aware there is a new Hal Hartley move

HBO MaXXXinoparsnip @dekkoparsnip2.bsky.social · 1d

Watching Hal Hartley's WHERE TO LAND and it's lovely watching Hal Hartley do Hal Hartley things, plus Dwight Ewell!

I love tron but it's also the embodiment of trying to justify love for it as something deep but really it's because cool sounds and shiny

really hope this new tron movie has the important qualities that have made the other tron films so successful: good music and being very shiny

really should be hearing more about KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN due to Bluesky being its target audience (queer people that will talk about their favorite movie at the slightest provocation)

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/
