Waking up from a long, much-needed nap and the first thing I see on my phone is Epstein advised Russian government on handling Trump
Matthew McConaughey looking gaunt, smiling a cigarette with a very intense look on his face, looking at a phone (the phone has been added by someone using photoshop, it seems)

The Zohran Mamdani sign font, with orange letters on a blue background, but it's saying "My favorite character in Jabba the Hutt's palace in Return of the Jedi is Bib Fortuna"

He’s on his way
Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein in the Guillermo Del Toro’s adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel. He is a very handsome man with long curly black hair, a blue waistcoat over a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, holding out a metallic cylinder. He’s lecturing in front of a number of Victorian-looking gentlemen, and has an intense expression on his face.

where I'm at where I want to be
Leonardo DiCaprio as "Bob Ferguson" in the movie One Battle After Another. He is wearing a black beanie, a ratty plaid robe, a grey t-shirt, black sunglasses that cover a lot of his face, is carrying a bag, and has a goatee. He is using a public payphone, and is pointing at his own chest. At this point, he is frantic, angry, and unable to control his emotions, thus hindering him in his quest. Benicio Del Toro as Sensei Sergio St. Carlos in the movie One Battle After Another. He is wearing a blue Puma tracksuit with white bands going down the arms, has a goatee, and glasses connected with a cord going around the back of his head. He is sitting at the desk in his dojo, surrounded by paperwork and trophies, and is looking off camera, concerned but not rattled. Though he is up against an unimaginable threat to him and his community, he does not seem scared or rattled. He will go on from this scene and present an incredible image of a man who is in full control of himself and his surroundings. Sensei is maximally inspirational. THANK YOU SENSEI!

So I went with 31 movies. Luckily, unlike last year’s SpookyFest (The Pope’s Exorcist) I started with a banger:
A poster for the Aaron Moorhead/Justin Benson horror romance movie Spring. The poster is mostly a wash of colors, greens and reds and yellows, with two heads, one male, one female, touching at the top, and beneath the silhouette of a woman surrounded by tentacles and crab-leg thingies. Above the two heads is a quote: "PHENOMENAL. A HYBRID OF RICHARD LINKLATER AND H. P. LOVECRAFT.* ROGEREBERT COM This pretty much sums up the movie, which is good and lovely.

Post from Elizabeth Lopatto saying: toxoplasmosis in response to a quote post that reads: "Punish the Villains @internethippo.bsky.social • 12d What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart." Beneath that is a repost from Ken Lowery of a post from Kyle Marquis--@moochava.bsky.social--that reads "• 4m Anyway, hanging out with my dad's cat," followed by a picture of a v fluffy cat near a sink, sitting up on its back legs and looking up

No! No!!
A young Robert Redford leaning against a tree, wearing some kind of WWII army uniform and holding a tin cup. He's looking off to his right, past the camera, his right hand in his pocket. He is RIDICULOUSLY HANDSOME, like, it's not possible to be this handsome. And yet...

Tonight I'll be raising a glass to one of the greats
A number of empty Diet Pepsi cans, all bearing the face of Terence Stamp as Chancellor Valorum from The Phantom Menace. Stamp was famously appalled that his short role in the movie was commemorated on a can of diet soda as he is very serious about healthy eating and felt that his likeness being used on something as unhealthy as Diet Pepsi was a betrayal of his beliefs.

This is why I was getting confused. I misread this as two extra episodes
The show will wrap up its expanded 12-episode third season, which is currently airing, with a two-part finale. Showrunner Michael Patrick King notified cast of the decision Thursday, per our sources.

Incredible scenes from the White House roof today
Red Hulk, aka Thunderbolt Ross, aka the President of the MCU America, aka Harrison Ford, standing atop the White House, which is on fire. Camera is positioned behind a fence far away, so we’re seeing it from the same position as some horrified bystanders watching the American Dream go up in flames before their very eyes.

Dustin Hoffman in the movie Sphere, looking very intense. A speech bubble is at the bottom of the image, making it look as if the quoted post is being said by him.

The "Okay grandma" meme, but without words. It shows a white woman, quite old, with a walker, being guided by a younger woman.

Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), immaculately dressed, raising a toast to his guests at a dinner party. They are all also immaculately dressed, and are raising their glasses as well. There is a speech bubble at the bottom of the image, which is a way of attaching Jamelle Bouie's benign comment to a menacing image.

The world is bad, but movies… movies are good
Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx standing on the deck of a boat, impossibly blue sky and sea behind them. Jamie Foxx has just said, “So let’s take it to the limit one more time.”

Got the house to myself so I’m doing what men do when their wife is away
An image from the Michael Mann movie Miami Vice, with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx in sharp suits standing on a rooftop with the glimmering flat nighttime skyline of Miami behind them and a burgundy sky above. The subtitle reads, “So what, no H.R.T. weapons team out there?”

Comedian Chris Morris, as newsreader Chris Morris, in a news studio in front of a graphic saying The Day Today. He’s got slicked back hair, is wearing a very severe looking pinstripe suit, and appears very serious.

Forgot to say, our conversation last week (hope you're feeling even just a little better) reminded me I was behind on Netherford
A copy of Natania Barron's The Viscount St. Albans, the second in her Love in Netherford series. The cover is a dark blue with purple, pink, and gold frills and accents on it.

Jerry Seinfeld, in an episode of Seinfeld, trying to guess his girlfriend's name because he's forgotten it somehow, though he knows it rhymes with a part of a woman's body. He's on the left of the image, she's on the right, the word "...Mulva?" is visible. (She's called Dolores)
