Was cautiously optimistic going in to Plur1bus but dammit it got its claws in me daily quickly. Excited to see how this all plays out.

I like it when Paul Thomas Anderson is very clear about the content of his films.

Q: Can I expect to see any blood in this picture?
A: THERE WILL BE BLOOD

Q: Does your new film feature any battles? And if so, to what frequency?
A: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

Went and saw One Battle After Another last night and let me tell you: all the middle age men in the theatre (myself included) were in HOG HEAVEN. Loved it.

“The United States, with its enormous highways, sprawling suburbs and neglected public transport systems, is one of the most car-dependent countries in the world. But this arrangement of obligatory driving is making many Americans actively unhappy, new research has found.”

How extreme car dependency is driving Americans to unhappiness
A car is often essential in the US but while owning a vehicle is better than not for life satisfaction, a study has found, having to drive too much sends happiness plummeting

Elon wanting to call his party the “American Party” is hilarious to me for two reasons. One: generic ass name Two: there’s no way he doesn’t change his mind in a month and start calling it the “Alt-Del Xyber Maximus Party” or some similar cringy name

'This was, indeed, the sound of Soft Cell first becoming undone, a patchy record of frustrated momentum. And yet when it does hit its peaks, how dizzying, how transformational, how ecstatic that undoing still sounds.'

That Brian Wilson is gone and Mike Love persists pretty much sums up the current timeline

Brian Wilson was an all-timer. Generational talent. Devastating loss.

Pee Wee as Himself was much better than I had anticipated. Incredibly bittersweet but i think it accomplished what it sets out to do. Hope it gets a physical release as I’d hate for it to be just another thing lost to the swamp of streaming.

Heads up @thedigitalbits.bsky.social readers: Warner Motion Picture Imaging & The Film Foundation have completed a new restoration of William Wyler’s BEN-HUR (1959) that bows at the TCM Festival on 4/26! Odds are good a physical 4K may follow later this year.

I dont care if you get high. Your body, your choice etc but go to a goth club and dance to Virgin Prunes off your tits and pass out in the bathroom like a normal person. Don’t decimate Social Security and make poverty a class 3 felony.

Has anyone tried distracting those creeps at DOGE using a few those anime body pillows? Trick them all into a U-Haul and just drive it into the ocean.
