DURING hook-up sex tonight this guy asked me what the difference was between Webster's and American Heritage dictionaries, and this, friends, is why I miss wordless anonymous alleyway hookups of the 80s.
I live on the 3rd floor just west of a small ridge and I wish I could explain just how purple pink the dawn sky is this morning

I'm thinking rating systems need a Z-axis, because in the past month I've given HOUSE OF WAX (2005), THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL, and THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG 4-1/2 stars.
(I stand by that decision, but I clearly am applying different criteria to different kinds of films.)

It’s bullshit that The Razzie folks gave Hilton a Razzie for this.
Paris Hilton is legit well-cast in this.
This roadkill pit set piece is also awesome.
Oh look Chad Michael Murray just took his shirt off

rewatching HOUSE OF WAX (2005) (which I liked when I saw it when it came out; since then I've finally seen both TOURIST TRAP and 2000 MANIACS so we'll see how that affects this viewing; I'm optimistic)

If I could ever figure out a legit way to discuss Some Like It Hot and Vertigo all in one breath, I could probably get blocked by half of Bluesky.

I rarely post about film submissions but a plea to filmmakers: If you have a short that runs under 15 minutes, if your end credits are more than 20% of your runtime, you might consider finding a way of putting more information on the screen instead of listing every cast and tech role one by one, etc

I just realized in high school we used to pass notes. I have a box full of notes I passed with 3 friends in calculus class — every day. Liked we’d fill up a sheet or two of paper each class. That kind of had to be more disruptive than texting, no?

I wore the new hoodie to work
GenZ coworker: oh, nice, you replaced the beat up old hoodie
Me: I guess I’m turning into an old person who wears clothing til it’s threadbare
Him: You didn’t know that already?

I used to only buy clothes from Target, but I haven't been there since January. A week ago I ordered a new hoodie online (direct from Eddie Bauer and NOT from Amazon), and the package arrived today, and opening up a package (of something other than cat food) kind of made me feel a little giddy.

MARK SANFORD??? What? Ugh.
so I still haven't figured out anything substantial but the ooze at the margins that's seeping through seems really fucking bizarre
somehow I don't know exactly who Olivia Nuzzi is (or rather, how she came to reach some sort of celebrity status), and I kind of really don't want to know, based on context clues
