It was a bummer of a Halloween Night--no parties or anything to go to. I must have been channel surfing, because SNL in 1981 was deadly dull. I remember Pleasence doing the intro... then... Holy Fuck! REAL PUNK ROCK ON NATIONAL TV?! ....

Check out my review of DIE MY LOVE at The Arts Fuse! @theartsfuse.bsky.social

“The sight of two teeny-bopper icons of a few years ago rutting in a manner that makes you wonder if they’re up to date on their rabies shots is jarring in exactly the way it needs to be.”

This is the face of a fitness professional, who is actually overjoyed that another fitness professional under the age of 30 got his Hans and Franz reference while they worked together this morning.

From AP:

‘MAGA Missouri State Sen. Bill Eigel (seen here burning boxes) said he would burn books he found objectionable, and that he'd do it on the lawn outside the governor's mansion. He later said it was all a metaphor for how he would attack the "woke liberal agenda."'

Yeah… I’m reading Conan and listening to Alice Cooper on vinyl. Once a disaffected youth of the 1970s, always a disaffected youth of the 1970s.

The *VERY INSTANT* I'm writing my review of BUGONIA while listening to WMBR and mention Jarry's play UBU ROI, Dave Thomas of the Band Pere Ubu (named after that play's main character) comes on and does a station ID. Coincidence? Synchronicity? Or Jarry's Pataphysics? I choose the third possibility.

Check out my review of BUGONIA at The Arts Fuse! @theartsfuse.bsky.social

"No supervillain tech bro can compete with the insanity and malignancy of the real things. Stone plays a person of real villainy… not someone trying to get their hands on a hunk of kryptonite."

Film Review: "Bugonia" - A Delightfully Warped Night at the Movies - The Arts Fuse
There's a profound catharsis in watching "Bugonia," one that echoes the catharsis articulated by those who attended the 'No Kings' protests on the 18th.

I got to admit, Trump and co might be right about Bad Bunny playing the Super Bowl. We need REAL American musicians playing for REAL Americans... like when GG Allin played the first Trump Inauguration. This is music for PATRIOTS!!!

Just saw two of my favorite actors playing struggling, marginalized dads trying to take care of their daughters in the face of rising and reactionary political cruelty. Scoot McNairy in FAIRYLAND and Leonardo DiCaprio in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER.

See ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Look at the bad guy organization in that movie and read this article. Now tell me honestly that the bad guy organization in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is hyperbole.

Yep! It's yet another day in which it feels like Joel-Peter Witkin snuck into my head and photographed what I feel. Without a permit.

I live here in kill city
Where the debris meets the sea
It's a playground to the rich
But it's a loaded gun to me

“Get me out of here…”

“Where do you want to go?”

“Home.”

“Home? This is your home. You’re dead.”

Check out my review of TRON: ARES at the Arts Fuse! @theartsfuse.bsky.social ! "With better curation, Tron: Ares could have been something incredible. Instead, it’s a forgettable, if diverting, night at the movies."

Film Review: "Tron: Ares" - It Might Have Been a Contender - The Arts Fuse
Tron: Ares  hurries from one spectacular concept and one spectacular set piece to another. But it doesn't take the time to let any of those remarkable things sink in.
