A cool, grey-coloured glimpse into the depths of a grinder.

My first time reading John le Carre after seeing a lot of his stories play out on screen.

Liz, my frustrated little Communist girl, I will always love you.

Terry Lennox's final words in The Long Goodbye are in my Insta bio.

Happy to have finished this one. A very touching and necessary 30-year update made it worthwhile, but the book bogged down my reading for months.

John Cassavetes' Opening Night (1977). Anybody else think this would make too much sense as a double feature with Robert Altman's 3 Women??

Legally changing my name to weirdcore instrumental ambient.

It wasn't as good as the first one, but partway through I came to terms with what it is and just wanted Sarah and Juno to have a climbing pick showdown. They had one and it rocked.

Tomb Raider (2013) and A Quiet Place pretend not to know this movie but they secretly had a crush on it.

Watched Smile 2 yesterday. Missed opportunity here.

"All you have to do is smile 2... the teleprompter."

I actually loved the silly dance troupe climbing the walls and whatnot.

I know the Lord of the Rings trilogy is hallowed ground at this point, but WHAT IF... we crowdfunded Peter Jackson to remake it in the style (and with the budget of) Braindead/Dead Alive (1992)?

Imagine the ogre looking like this, and Gollum was like the Sumatran rat-monkey.

Our local mental hospital 😁

Love haunted house movies where staircases and doors move around.

Record finds! Sorting through looking for goodies. These couple of crates were freebies rescued from the basement of a probable neo-Nazi. Anyone have the number of a good exorcist?

@bubsfilm.bsky.social I've only seen Paddington out of yours, but Autumn Sonata and Cleo are both on my super secret cool playlist.

Benh Zeitlin's short Glory At Sea and then later Beasts of the Southern Wild were incredibly formative for me.

It's kinda cheating but if a movie's music makes me try not to cry I'll probably remember it for the rest of my life.

Google has been bugging me to backup my timeline to my device because it's going away in December (you just press please and thank you) and then it shows you where you've been. Instantly regretted it.

I don't care this is perfect. Suicide-pact music.

My pal who I went to go see The Substance with had a medical episode (ie: he slunk out of the theatre like a dying cat and passed out in one of the covered arcade machines for a couple minutes without telling any of us) during one of the first needle scenes. He came back and it got so much worse.

Pomegranates are like, yes you can have our shitty little seeds but the price of doing so will be extracted in full: in your walls, in your counters, your white T-shirt, and YOUR SOUL. Everyone will know what you have done. They will mock you.

✅Horror
✅Sadness
✅Cassette noises

I made this audio drama with some real beauts this year. The three-ish people who listened to it (not our moms) say they had a good time.

If you're in the mood for a horror/mystery chiller, maybe check it out?

Went from immaculate prose about sadness, adrift-ness and failure (The Bell Jar), to an excruciatingly long chapter about major league ballplayers' favourite ways of looking up women's dresses back in the day. Ball Four needs the pitch clock.
