MINNEAPOLIS, SURPRISE! TOMORROW: I’m doing a last minute tiny solo piano show @ The Green Room - Monday night, 10/20.

Tickets went on sale to patrons only first, there’s a small handful left for the public.

Amanda in a bedroom looking at the camera with her hand up, the prince symbol scrawled on her hand in purple marker. She has a green pounamu around her neck and is wearing a sports bra and no make up. Her armpit hair is poking out of her bra and she looks pretty comfortable with herself. In the background is a clock and a bed a children’s book lying on a chair.

People are being blown apart in wars, homelessness is everywhere, and perverts are in political leader roles! Who cares about some jewellery?

Apropos of nothing, Ocean's 8 (2018) is a delightful film with a stellar cast

A dazzling Technicolor nightmare, Pearl transforms the slasher prequel into a haunting character study about ambition, repression, and the dark side of the American dream — elevated by Mia Goth’s career-defining performance.

10 / #31for31 — THE THING WITH FEATHERS

for a story about grief & despair, it never took the vital, gut-wrenching dip to rock bottom — doesn't match MANCHESTER BY THE SEA in its pain, BABADOOK in its absurdity

but: looks great, 10/10 Crow, great acting by all, great adaptation of the book's quirks

for a book / film about grief and despair, it never seems to take that vital, gut-wrenching dip to rock bottom — it never quite achieves MANCHESTER BY THE SEA in its pain or BABADOOK in its absurdity....

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. You are right. Ignoring the darker aspects of humanity will only bring more suffering.

Adam Pearson and Sebastian Stan's characters sitting next to each other wearing identical outfits (plaid shirts & khakis) in a dark room. Pearson has Neurofibromatosis, a condition that has caused changes to his facial structure, while Stan has a more typical face (personal opinions on his handsomeness aside)

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you who’ve gone over to YouTube to report these assholes doing AI versions of my dad.

It’s terrifying watching them destroy his integrity and future legacy.

YouTube needs to handle this stuff differently.

I think Diane was a nice person even though she was mates with Allen. Her work will live forever ⚘️

I don't know who you are. I don't care how you feel about Woody Allen or Diane Keaton in your ugly living room. I understand why she has a legacy in film. As a survivor of CSA and DV, I will hold companies that get money, like Letterboxd, accountable for white-washing her.
