Day 7 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Now That’s Brass—FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET (1971) Even lesser Argento can be fun if you add in some funky Morricone tunes and a guest spot by Bud Spencer, who looked like he walked onto the wrong soundstage and just decided to wing it.

Day 6 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Squeaky Reels—THE MONSTER (1925) A fun, kinda goofy, proto-Scooby Doo type romp with some cool ghouls and a rare comedic hero role for a guy who usually played uptight hotel managers.

*banjo picking and sporadic musket fire* dearest martha, the horrors of war-torn portland cannot even be described

Yellow roses and city buildings, a classic Portland view from in front of the art museum

Seattle/Tacoma folks, this means we need to pressure KOMO advertisers

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 16d

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Ok, so what’s the deal with The Stunt Man and Seattle history? I love the movie, and remember seeing the ads all over the newspapers when I was a kid. That and Das Boot seemed to be permanent fixtures in local theaters back then!

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.
