My blurb, like my life, is a work in progress.
The 2010s Planet of the Apes trilogy is neither discussed nor respected enough. These things should have been just a boomer-bait cash grab, but somehow they're perhaps the best mainstream blockbuster work of the century so far.

Is it #letterboxd #last4watched day already? It was a week full of bangers. Well, except for Disney, who keeps trying to make fetch happen. Any stars there are for the Reznor/Ross score (not calling it a NIN core) and NOTHING else.

We are just in the dumbest timeline. And yes, the URL appears to be legit.

A whole lot of talking in this week's #letterboxd #last4watched. With a selection of hangout films masquerading as other genres.

TIL that Nightcrawler is actually a part of the Fast and Furious franchise.

We all remember that feel-good moment when Jake Gyllenhaal is watching his partner burn to death in a wreck and he whispers in a gruff tone, "It's about family".

Jebbus, Shout Studios.
NIGHTCRAWLER plunges you into the gritty, neon-lit streets of LA as Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) hustles his way into the world of freelance crime journalism.

I love takes like this, not just because it's debunking what's just the latest version of "these kids today and their rock and roll" but because blaming social media keeps us from having to engage in discussions on the long-term price we've paid for COVID and the disappearance of 3rd spaces.
Social media isn’t driving the teenage “loneliness epidemic”. Teenagers’ loneliness was the same in the 1970s,1980s, and 1990s long before anyone heard of TikTok or smartphones.

Singal boosting this GoFundMe for one of Portland's best comic shops. And that's saying something.

Please give if you can

I’ve never been to this one, but enough of my pals recommend donating to keep it alive, so I just helped out; you should, too!

Haven't done a #Last4Watched #LetterboxdFriday in a minute, so here you go — A fantastic run of films about men in over their heads. A surprisingly solid (3 1/2 star) Predator: Badlands sits just off-screen in the #5 slot.

I saw this image in a tiny thumbnail while scrolling through open apps on my phone, and was still like "Oh, I didn't know Howard Chaykin drew Hawkgirl." Pretty sure Chaykin's eyebrows and lips are recognizable from space.

I did not enjoy writing this; it can't even serve as an ad for my newsletter, which I've suspended due to an overbilling situation that has me almost regretting leaving Substack. But, you know, it's evidence for the piece I just didn't get to include.

Fun fact. - all USB cables with the standard "A" connector must have the USB trident logo printed on the "up" side. Its actually part of the spec. If you check thst before you plug it in, you'll get it right every time.

You're welcome.

A reminder that we're about to lose many local PBS affiliates (and most of the smaller ones) and probably the majority of the shows that PBS produces.
CEO Paula Kerger also pushed back on the idea that PBS would begin altering content to appease the White House: "They’ve already taken away our funding."

Portland: We will subject you to memes and experimental art!
