Never mind movies you’ve watched multiple times, name a movie you’ve watched once and would never watch again.

I don't really talk shop on here, but if you are paying someone to redesign your site with a very small budget and they make a recommendation for discovery to ensure your request of "community input" is covered, don't be a complete ass about it

I know that my little newsletter about what cool shows are happening this week in town isn't even coming close to the kind of output mentioned in this thread, but it is writing that lands in people's inboxes for free almost every week.

this might be helpful in illustrating the difference between looking at buying subscriptions as “buying content” vs. seeing it as “investing in writers” or even “building new media orgs to last”
Running any media organization is expensive, especially when we pay freelancers industry-standard rates. We were running at a loss until our subscription drive in October, and we're looking at around $33,000 in expenses for 2025.
That is before we pay ourselves.

Got to see a screening of Hedwig yesterday where John Cameron Mitchell did some Bowie covers afterward, only a few blocks from Sigma Sound, so I am riding high into this week and refuse to let anything take this joy away from me

I have been reading the year end lists come in and my reactions are mostly 1) I'm old, I don't know who these people are, also I'm fine with that, and 2) Wow that's fucking boring

What did I say, only a matter of time: www.inquirer.com/entertainmen...
Penn wants to evict World Cafe Live, but the venue remains open. But for how long?
The labor unrest keeps growing in addition to the venue's liquor license expiring. "If you do the right thing, people will come back and support," said the new CEO.

I keep seeing frustration (this is just the latest) over media only covering the horrors, not what to do about them—but they seem to miss stories about what people *are* doing.
I report on that expressly because I want people to know there are people fighting back, and learn how they could, too.

Apparently there's a video of former French pairs skater Yannick Bonheur going viral performing a headbanger with his adagio partner and you know I'm a figure skater bc my response was "That rink is cool, where is it, I have to add it to my list"
