I think Ravech’s wig has grown directly into his brain.

One Battle After Another is a gorgeous, important film — not only for its message but for giving film bros a new lazy Halloween costume

Tumblr post from every-lemon
Sep 8

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

Regal cinemas is showing There Will Be Blood in theaters nationwide on just one day, Sept. 30, and I feel like as a 42-year-old man I should be able to take the entire day off as a religious holiday.

You’re forgetting Midnight Run. Toss that fucker in the mix, all bets are off.

Catastrophic jobs numbers got you down? No problem! Can I distract you with a batshit story about Seal Team 6 in North Korea?
James Carville’s “it’s the economy stupid” decree really put to the test here.
