I run a college bookstore and watch a lot of movies. As always, disagreeing with me just gets you blocked.
I know I am several years late, but Kendall Roy is an all-time great character.

Look guys, if you see someone burning down a Tesla distribution center, no you didn't.

In conclusion, it doesn't matter that he's using his kid as a human shield.

There is a new album from Fust and it's fusting awesome. I love this band.

My head is in agony today. There's gotta be something going on.

Twice in the last month the building should have been closed and is not. This is a really bad look.

I'm happy to see that the Dalkey Archive is re-releasing Log of the S.S. The Mrs. Unguentine later this year. What a book she is.

I love that the Bills getting royally screwed by the refs a couple of weeks ago forced the league to rewrite the script for tonight.

People always wanna talk about Biff and Back to the Future but I WISH we lived in that timeline; we’re living in the Robocop timeline unfortunately

I know I know, but I would watch Casey Affleck in ANYTHING. He's one of my favorite screen actors. I also still listen to Ryan Adams though, so...

True Detective S2 is easily as good (perhaps even better) than S1. Yeah, I said it, and it's fucking true.

They, their families, everyone they've ever met - not a single one of them should be able to leave the house without being verbally (...) abused by everyone they encounter. Nothing being off limits goes both ways, fuckers.
Call them want they really are: HACKERS

This "DOGE engineers" thing is bullshit!

They are boy hackers! Plain and simple

This is 2016 Cambridge Analytics bullshit on steroids

Do your job, Iranians. Now's the time.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed for Washington early Sunday to meet with President Donald Trump, in what will be the U.S. leader’s first meeting with a foreign head of state since returning to the White House last month.
Live briefing: Netanyahu heads to Washington for Trump’s first meeting with foreign leader
The Israeli prime minister’s trip comes as negotiations for a second phase of a Gaza ceasefire are set to begin. Syria’s new president visits Saudi Arabia.

There is a song at the end of an album (or maybe at the end of a suite?) that sounds musically almost exactly like the chorus of Massive Attack's 'Hymn of the Big Wheel' - I cannot remember for the life of me what the song is. Someone please help because this is eating me alive.

I'm really liking the new Mogwai album. Probably low key one of my favorite bands ever.

I miss the whiner line. That was so obviously an interception from Bishop.

I want the Dodgers to lose every game between now and the end of time. They won't, but I still want them to.

Neil Gaiman is human garbage. People are surprised by this?!

Fatboy Slim's 'Praise You' should be played by every wedding DJ at every wedding. Preferably to end the night.

Some women at the Chinese restaurant are trying to confuse the person working. I have no patience for that shit. At the first sign of trouble you ban people for life.

Nailed it. I'd put When Harry Met Sally in my top ten if not top five.
Moonstruck and When Harry Met Sally are two of my favorite movies - not favorite rom-coms, favorite movies, period, and hell yes this kind of filmmaking needs to come back.

Was the Warner Archive 4K of THE SEARCHERS delayed (again)? I ordered it more than a month ago and it's not scheduled to ship until next week. I also realized I haven't seen it in any pickup posts or even a review.

@bobfreelander.bsky.social Were you able to see the documentary that aired on TCM the other night about The Day the Clown Cried? The interview with Jerry shortly before he died was easily the highlight.

I know the USPS is a mess, but why the fuck has something been sitting in the regional destination facility for THREE DAYS and not in my mailbox?! Completely unacceptable.

That said, major changes to the USPS are never going to fly, nor should they. Just hire more seasonals. It should be easy.
