Hey-it's BandCamp Friday, when creators receive more funds from their sales on the BandCamp platform!
Many of these jokes are better recorded on my bread album but there’s also stuff that’s nowhere but this thing.

People ask me why I watch bad-looking movies blind.
These people don't know the magic of stumbling into a movie that, just 15 minutes in, has a slow rap explaining what's already happened with flashbacks to earlier parts of the movie

Just discovered that John Astin and George Clooney are in Return of the Killer Tomatoes, and I feel like society has been holding out on me.

Seeing a picture of @pattonoswalt.bsky.social in his role as Doug in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds really reminds me of Harvey Korman's character Krelman in the musical number with Bea Arthur from the Star Wars Holiday Special (which, to be clear, is a segment I enjoy).
Maybe its the brown outfits?

I don't get how so many organizations seem to simultaneously have extensive training about things like phishing to make sure data stays secure and also contract services that have been tacking on AI services that will read and process the content of things like emails no matter what

Decided to watch Felidae last night, and I think this movie is going to keep haunting my mind for the next few days.
"Neo-noir but animated cats" is a heck of a pitch, but the themes here were way more intense than I was expecting.
German w/ subtitles probably added to that.

Having finally seen it, I get why people felt misled by the title Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
I watched the whole thing last night, and despite my expectations not once did I see a pair of Teutonic Knights played by Nic Cage and Ron Perlman.

Pulled out an old Halloween costume of mine to take in for work. Glad to work somewhere where i can wear such a deep-cut 🔭 astronomy-themed costume.

Nothing more handy than a movie podcast that provides a link to watch the movie they talked about.
And weirdly satisfying to see the "witch's" house and recognize that I've been in it (pretty sure it's the Beckett Residence). It's a cool house that keeps popping up in my life choices.

As much as I like it and the Queen Mary as a venue, nothing sums up the Dark Harbor experience quite like a story about walking into the event and immediately seeing a bar.
New episode! It's #SpookySzn and @skeletonyart.bsky.social is back to discuss The Queen Mary's annual Halloween event, Dark Harbor!

There's something I appreciate about watching stuff set and shot in Los Angeles. It allows for those moments like "sure, they're supposed to be trying to get from Hollywood to downtown, but that's the 91 between Marina del Ray and the 405 that they're on right now"

I've been pitching a biopic of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
I keep getting feedback that some of the plot points are derivative, but I think they're integral

I know I've gone sufficiently far into the depths of Tubi when I'm watching a movie I've never heard of then realize that the "notice me Senpai" satanist is in it (I think the internet's proper term for him is 'weird satanist guy')

So it's interesting to see the rest of the field catching up.

At a comedy show called popular kids club. And the stamp to verify they checked my ticket says "I'm a popular kid".
It took four attempts to get that stamp to work on me and not sure if that's the stamp rejecting me or my skin rejecting social status.
Could be either, really.
