Some recent baking. The cat for my little sister’s 15th birthday and the hedgehog looking Guinea pigs for my cousin’s 33rd

Two options tonight: I can either go and see Donnie Darko for the first time (on 35mm) or I can stay in, make the world’s largest bowl of pasta, and fall asleep 42 minutes into a 67 minute long VHS-quality noir on Tubi

Comedy brain is truly an illness. A woman told me I was hot tonight, but since she did it while I was onstage I had to be mean to her about it because I couldn’t think of a funny way to accept the compliment

My Blu-ray player has just decided to stop working and so I won’t be watching these Westerns I found in a DVD store in Nantes, and will instead just watch whatever shit I can find on Tubi

Silent Saturday #38 (belated)

The Fall of the House of Usher (1928)

A short version of Poe’s story made the same year that Jean Epstein made his surprisingly proto-Peckinpah feature length adaptation

The Thief’s Wife (1912)

Ending my 2nd day in Madrid and I only have my phone to watch movies on, so I’m going with a silent short by Allan Dwan. This is from the second year of Dwan’s 50 year career, and was apparently a huge influence on John Ford

Ballerina (2025)

John Wick is one of the most consistently excellent action series ever made, so I can’t say I’m especially excited about the one where they finally said “What if we hired a back to botch this one?”

Moods of the Sea (1942)

More Slavko Vorkapich this week!

I haven’t had much time for movies lately because tomorrow I’m going Europe for a month, so I’ve mainly just been incredibly stressed about that. And I’ve still got 100 pages of a library book to get through

The reason so many conservatives talk about “gay ideology” and “trans ideology” like those are coherent concepts with real world referents is that they’ve made their own cisness and heterosexuality into load-bearing pillars of their exterminationist ideology, and they think everyone is like them

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: Waaaah waaah I’m so scared

Even the most cursory study would show you that this particular Pandora’s Box has not been closed for a single second of American history
People are getting mad about this but you don’t want to open up the Pandora’s box of “murder is okay when I agree with the politics of doing it” when you’ve got a well-armed right wing political movement that’s growing bolder. Hell, you don’t want more Jordan Neely’s either.

The Kid with the Golden Arm (1979)

More of the Venom Mob from Chang Cheh, this time asking the question “What if Lo Meng had golden arms?” Fight choreography by Lu Feng, Chiang Sheng, and Robert Tai (the guy who claimed Lau Kar-Leung couldn’t touch his fights)
