I already posted about this movie, but since it’s out now, I want to be sure this Thing I Love gets seen be EVERYONE!

One more quick thread, and then I'm getting out of here to walk my dog in the sun.
I think a lot about the authoritarian personality. I won't start going on about that because this thread would last forever, but I just want to say one thing about it.

Kings of Sorts is an epic, beautifully drawn, unique, delightful (and also scary and dramatic) fantasy comic about people who “don’t belong,” and the awful things those in power do to them. But they find family and love and all those things, and… the comic […]

I am going to post about some things I have loved recently! TO add some positivity to the dread.
First up: The soundtrack to Marty Supreme. My god, if it isn't the best homage to '80s New Age ('member THAT term?) that I've ever heard. It's a Vangelis/Jarre/Vollenweider/Others mashup that I find […]

We saw a blind screening tonight, and… it was a huge surprise. I had NO idea what the movie was, had never sene a trailer for it, and knew nothing about the original show it was based on. But DAMN was it funny, and clever. It had the audience howling and shouting. You gotta see it in a theater! […]

Terrified Conservatives Lose Ability To Speak English After Exposure To Bad Bunny Performance (‘¡Dios Mío!’ Cry Millions Of Panicking Republicans)

They’re firing our on-lot nursing team and hiring a contractor instead. They did this with the janitors years ago. I’m guessing the commissary staff is next. Then the fire safety team. Then the Disney studio store staff. Then all the assistants. Then the managers. Then the senior managers. Then […]

Kottke is right… you must watch. The entire interview is delightful, funny… then to end it with such a monologue is a punch.

Decades ago, a friend of mine who was in film school with Brett Ratner had told me about a disgusting incident between Brett and a woman in his class. So none of this news is surprising to me.

I nominate this sentence for the most boring ever written.
“The following segment marketing leaders will continue to drive core strategies and decisions in alignment with each segment's priorities, including ownership of marketing goals.”
