Reintroducing myself here with a few of my loves: first, bread baking, especially this Georgian bread that’s filled with about 2lbs of cheese that is then topped and mixed with egg yolks and butter right out of the oven.

I utter “Money, tickets, passport” at some point almost daily. She was a wonder. ❤️

Just heard at a celebration of life after party: “the best way to get over someone is to get under someone.”

Remember this when you’re spending $15 a bag next year! Buy now and freeze—they’ll never know!

Well this was a pick me up this week! And I was at work so don’t judge my clothes while Ms. Baranski was the picture of taste and elegance (as always!). 😍😍

I just don’t know why everyone isn’t watching The Diplomat - it’s one of the true great joys of all things scripted entertainment - film or broadcast or streaming. It’s a must-see.

I worked an outdoor family Halloween event today - probably a good 3,000 folks of all ages. I really thought this was going to be the year of Elphaba and Glinda costumes - but I was wrong. K-Pop Demon Hunters were HUGE with the girls. Dinosaurs were big with the boys. Pixar was big with groups. 🤷🏻

Ok, that’s just lame and why I generally don’t like prequels.

“There’s no other way to put it except to say that It: Welcome to Derry hinges on an idea that’s so dumb, it’s impossible to take seriously.”

Drats - I was actually kind of sold on the newest trailer. Ah well.

So, Clooney is calling the team screaming, “rewrite the opening to Paris! REWRITE THE OPENING TO PARIS!!!”, yeah?

Graham crackers are criminally underrated. They are perfect.

I would buy an album and make cassettes of them and always thought there was a triple repeat of a lyric in Prince’s Paisley Park(that worked beautifully!) - until years later when I got the CD and almost returned it for not having the complete song. I STILL expect to hear it!

The neighbor’s WAY too bright new porch light shining through our kitchen blinds has transformed the hallway into a 40s film noir detective office seconds before a dame with a past walks in.

Movie theater worker alumni 1987-91! My popcorn skills were recognized. Also, old Red Vines boxes can be made fresh again by putting them in the popcorn bin for 30 mins.

The corn that a PT could pop—if a PT could pop corn—pops precisely, transparently, and cooly, pound per pound (Pi notwithstanding) perfect.

Whatever efforts you went through to grab this exact frame, I thank you multiplied by 10.

This is exactly what Veridian Dynamics from Better Off Ted would be rolling out—and they’d absolutely call it Superwood. And then run into every pun humanly possible.

Curious about thoughts on Kiss of the Spiderwoman. I thought it was an extraordinary adaptation. I lament the loss of some truly great songs / moments but the gained intimacy between M & V was almost overwhelming. Also, I’d forgotten that the B’Way souvenir program has some great content/articles!

#TronAries is far more a direct sequel to the 80s original than i expected and I really enjoyed it! I kind of love how they completely disposed of Legacy canon with a brief two sentences from a news report in the first 2 minutes. And GO Greta Lee and Jodie Turner Smith - they made the film!

Snaps to the set designer who included the robot deactivation command from The Day the Earth Stood Still in Alan’s cubicle!

Do you think David Warner—or any of the cast—understood what was going on when the filmed it?

Randy Taradash @randymt.bsky.social · 27d

Ok, who added Pac- Man to TRON and how have I never noticed before??
