its important for everybody to know that I was onto the weeknd before howard ratner (a guy i knew told me to download House of Balloons because it sampled Beach House and had a boob on the cover)
i've never seen Uncut Gems (2019) and now i'm pretty jacked up to watch it. It'll be a little while though, my mom is getting into town today and she can't deal with suspenseful movies. i think uncut gems might give her a heart attack

Its very important to designate several veteran tv directors as "your boy" (gender neutral) so that when you see their name in the closing credits you can say "oh shit its my boy!!"

Good Time (2017): I really loved it. "Small-time criminal making increasing catastrophic decisions" is one of my favorite types of movie. Its basically millennial Dog Day Afternoon (1975) or millennial Mickey & Nicky (1976) with an homage to The Long Good Friday (1980).

Faces (1968): a prototypical "movie that should have been a play." Cassavettes is working his hardest to be cinematic (all the fast cuts & closeups DO look great in 16mm) but I really think it would all work better on stage. Did people in the 60s really do this much singing at house parties?

after the wolves realized they couldn't cover in regulation they played for overtime. thank you guys i appreciate it
tonight's pick is Wolves -9.5 (-110). Sabonis out, the kings stink and the wolves are going to taking the game seriously after choking so hard in phoenix. i would taken them to cover all the way out to like -12.5
so far: 7-6, ROI +28.6%

you couldn't make Faces (1968) today.
not because its an entirely self-funded low-budget independent film shot in high-contrast black-and-white 16mm.
because of age-gap discourse! due to woke!!

In the Heat of the Night (1967): I didn't know much about this movie other than "They call me Mister Tibbs!" but knew it was gonna deliver when I saw Haskell Wexler in the opening credits. (1) damn this movie looks good (2) its so crazy they have to oscar to rod steiger rather than sidney poitier

Insane in-arena entertainment in Atlanta. They asked a lady to name as many phone apps as she could in 24 seconds and she just rattled off names of restaurants. Then they showed a video of nikeil Alexander Walker doing the same thing and the first apps he said were messages, notes and “settings”

much love and no offense to my man john but i simply do not understand the motivation to view an algorithmically-generated list of posts. i have literally never gone to the discover feed other than by accident. why would i???
The Bluesky algorithm isn’t bad as far as things go, and my Discover feed is actually quite usable. But it’ll occasionally glitch out and throw in a jump scare like “Supporting Palestine is antisemitism,” “I don’t fuck with JRPG’s,” or “Squee, I love watching heterosexual people make out in public.”

Deep Cover (1992): It took me a little while to get in the right mindset for just how pulpy this movie is. It is very much like watching a 1950s noir; you have to accept some very obvious voiceover and dumb melodramatic plotting in order to get the good stuff (neon-bathed larry fishburne)

9 of Rob's 31 two-point misses have been blocked lol. That seems like a lot!!
i think on a per-minute basis rob might get blocked more than any player in the league

if memory serves, ron baker hogged the ball down the stretch against julius randle's kentucky wildcats in the sweet sixteen(?) when clean anthony was fucking balling out. if he had just got out of the way and let clean anthony cook who knows where we'd all be right now

Longlegs (2024): Sadly I am going to declare this a stinker. Too much going on: cop ESP, satanism, ciphers, weird guys. The last 20 minutes explicitly explaining all the weird stuff killed the momentum. Nick Cage would have gotten arrested for the murders immediately due to being such a freak
