A little confused. Not sure who this is, but I saw one of their posts in my feed and liked it/screenshot it. I tried to look up the page a half an hour later to read some more of their posts and couldn’t find it. Found out shortly after that I had been blocked. Not sure what I did.

My biggest takeaway from The Golden Globes is that awards bodies (at least so far) don’t seem to be impressed by the event films of 2024. A bummer in my eyes. I believe Nosferatu should be receiving as much praise and awards buzz as Dune Part Two and Wicked have been getting.

Last night, I took an edible and went to see Hundreds of Beavers. It was one of the best theatrical experiences of my life.

Just saw someone post about exercising with portable cd players back in the day. And it got me nostalgic. I remember playing my cds off of this thing in my car back when I was 19. I borrowed a DC to AC power converter from my dad to power my laptop speakers since the ones in my car didn’t work.

Final two Christmas presents came in today. Receiving the Se7en steelbook feels serendipitous considering I’m seeing it in IMAX tonight.

UnitedHealth CEO was killed 30 days ago on Dec 4. Mangione is on trial for that killing.
Since Dec 4, about 5589 Americans have died preventable deaths under America’s exploitative for profit health system.
So—when do CEOs who enabled these deaths go on trial?

This is how my narcissistic brother sounds when he’s pissed off. Disrespectful, incapable of looking inward, blaming others for things that are his own fault, projecting his own flaws and fears outward towards others, attempting to speak his reality into existence (desperately seeking control).

It's easy to despair. 2024 was a tough year, and 2025 will be tough too. But last year ended with historic Amazon, Starbucks, and rent strikes. These get less attention than elections, but this wave of class warfare has the potential to change history.

Showed my three year-old The Hunchback of Notre Dame today. And I noticed via the lyrics of Topsy Turvy that the Festival of Fools takes place on January 6th.
So is it cool if we now refer to Jan 6, 2021 as The Festival of Fools?

Completely agreed. On the one hand, I constantly think about deleting all of my social media because it fuels that anxiety/adhd side effect of always feeling that I’m in the wrong.
But on the other hand, I’m a creative and social media is a huge part of that.
The world we live in fucking sucks.

One thing I hate about social media is how it has programmed us to preemptively justify ourselves
I can't just say that I like the 1922 Oliver Twist. I have to say that I know it was adapted from a Dickens novel, that I know Lon Chaney play the Phantom, that Jackie Coogan was discovered by Chaplin

1. Retailers didn't like what their data was saying about shoplifting trends. So, after three decades, the National Retail Federation just stopped collecting data about shoplifting and invented a dubious new metric

Yes, this hasn’t come out yet. However, to anyone who is complaining that this is “just another remake”, I invite you to watch both of Guadagnino’s remakes alongside their source Material: Suspiria (1974) and (2018) + La Piscine (1969) and A Bigger Splash (2015). Guadagnino does things differently.
Austin Butler has been cast as Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino’s ‘AMERICAN PSYCHO’ movie.

Miniatures? Feh! Full-scale ships were sometimes used for silent era sea epics. The ones in THE SEA HAWK (1924) were so good that Warner Brothers sliced them out of their print for later use, rendering the picture incomplete until footage was recovered in a Czech archive.
