Movies. My dog. Trying to learn French. Fragrance. Eat & Drink. Let’s see, what else? Proud the MN capital is named after me 😎
Don’t know if it’s worst or best, but: walking in NYC in the late 90s, and saw Andie MacDowell coming towards me. She looked up as I was still staring & thinking “wait is that…” She gave me a look that clearly said “Yes. But it’s no big deal.” And I caught the vibe and passed by w/o saying anything.
Twitter is doing “best celebrity interactions” discourse so we should do WORST ones
not necessarily like that they were a jerk, just that the interaction itself was a fail on some level
like one time Robert Sean Leonard walked past me and I short-circuited so badly I spilled guacamole on myself

Super bummed I wrote “Special Award de Certain (dis)Regard” when clearly it’s “Selection un Certain (dis)Regard.” We regret the erreur.

With me, you get feeble attempts to figure (after, say, tonight’s attempted tequila Negroni, which could be rebranded as a margarita rosso!) why Frank Tashlin & Joe Dante are fascinating even when the movie is Not So Great. Well, you can skip me, b/c @noelmu.bsky.social figured it out. [hat tip]
My Frank Tashlin essay for The Dissolve is, miraculously, still online, and mentions this superb short. I still like how this one came out (though if I had it to do over again I would figure out how to make the GIFs slower.) thedissolve.com/features/mov...

Oldman does a good Bruce Willis
Heck now he’s Alec Baldwin
Dennis Farina!
Giant 90s suits
Contralto femme fatale ✔️
Farmer Hoggett!
Paulie Walnuts!
Roy Scheider!!!

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up.
Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

They set up the job, and day of it starts in motion. When the old guy shows up drunk at the track, I thought, Yeah that’s not ideal. But then straight to the lady running across the street needing help from the cop and slowing him down. I sat straight up, all giddy: Oh the wheels are coming off now!
Watched THE KILLING (the 1956 Kubrick one) for the first time and holy mackerel that was a lot of fun.

Adding lots of aromatics to gin and tonics: It’s really good!
Ok ok ok ok...*another g&t*
By the way, lime leaves instead of lime slices, fresh mint, a sprig of rosemary, cucumber, and juniper berries. More gin than you might suspect. Tonic. Trust me on this.
