Finally up to Wake Up Dead Man. Ten minutes in and I'm already so lost. Wix is Prentiss's grandson, and Grace is Wix's daughter but the harlot whore is Wix's mother? Oh geez. Can I just get a diagram please?

Can we get more of LaKeith Stanfield and Daniel Craig working together, please?

My new favorite line from Wikipedia--regarding Elizabeth Bishop: "Arriving in Santos, Brazil, in November of that year, Bishop expected to stay two weeks but stayed 15 years"

In 1978 I somehow trapped my cat between the wooden door and the screen door on my way out to school in the morning. When I returned that afternoon she was still clinging half way up the wooden door. Whimpering. Scratch marks all the way to the top. Kitty is long gone, I'll never get over it.

My favorite youtube experience ever. It is so satisfying watching this kid watch Pavarotti, I have no idea why. The skepticism? The dancing feet?: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX6f...

So much Tarantino chatter. I dropped out after Jackie Brown--that was fantastic. Uma is beyond in Kill Bill. But the director is a jerk, blatantly ripping off Lady Snowblood. It just gets worse after that. The only fun part of Once Upon a Time was Brad getting stabbed in the ass. That was great.

The credit sequence and first few of minutes of Agnes Varda's Kung Fu Master! are so beautiful, so goofy and sweet and inspired.

Disagree. Terminator is better than T2. T2 is brilliant--it's fantastic! But it's where everything has gone--absolute production. No mistakes. In 1, nobody knows what the fuck is going on. Arnold punching out a car window without a permit? Crew doesn't know where they are? That's a great movie!

This is so dreamy. Just 76 minutes and not a single one wasted. A day passes recounting the day before. So simple and solid and such sweet, gentle intimacy. See it if you can! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_H...

As much as I love Mookie Betts, that hurts.

There's an Art Tatum thing sometimes with Khruangbin...it's just so complex, so layered, I can't follow it. But so happy to try!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfQp...

There's a lot of La Femme. Like...a huge amount of La Femme. But I think La Femme is Fanny. She is everything they try to do and she is awesome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je6v...

I love LA so much. Best town in America. Best art, best science, by far. But please, Blue Jays: just finish this series. Walk Shohei. Let him hit--who cares? We all love Shohei. Just please dispatch these overpaid m*f*kers back to Echo Park or wherever their evil spawn comes from. Finish them off!

The casual brushing off of Chomsky here at the 6 minute mark is pretty great. I mean, who else could haul out "silly" and get away with it. Hinton for the goal: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikdz...

Watched Close Encounters after last seeing it 30 years or so ago and still the most unbelievable part is that he would just leave Terri Garr. I just don't buy it.
