Performing in a pit orchestra for a musical is such a wild experience - you're locked in for 90+ min, no stops / restarts - you get lost, you figure out how to get back in... It's thrilling.

God help me I love Gen V even if I am screaming at the tv for them not to do the obviously WRONG thing they are about to do. EVERY GODDAMN TIME.

I watched The Gorge tonight mostly to understand Aubrey Plaza's comment about how it captured her feeling of loss... It was a weird context to watch it in, but I did enjoy it.

I feel like I called it from the first preview, the Eyeball Alien is completely stealing the show on Alien Earth. IT IS THE BEST.

Saw Mission Impossible, and is it too much to ask to just have a whole movie of Trammel Tillman's submarine crew? Every moment with them was great.

Had so much fun watching Ballerina tonight - the flamethrower fight activated something deep in my brain that had never known it was missing this.

@komaniecki.bsky.social : I get your point on rhyming schemes, but can we concede that the Beastie Boys were sort of silly for "Well, everybody rappin' like it's a commercial...Actin' like life is a big commercial" in Pass the Mic? It's one of my favorites.

Thoroughly enjoyed the HBO Yacht Rock documentary… Very loving tribute to the era that never called itself “yacht rock”.

While I am enjoying it, I'm wondering why Dune and Dune 2 felt like no time passed while watching, and why a single hour of Dune Prophecy feels like 3 hours of endurance.

I did like the new Cure album but at the end of it, I looked down and somehow a pack of Djarum clove cigarettes had magically appeared in my hand.

My review of the new Cure album: Oh hey the bass player got a fuzz pedal. Oh and we're doing 1 min intros that are the full verse/chorus again? Cool cool cool.

HBO Casting: We need a real freaking creep for this role. Is Travis Fimmel still available?
Seriously - he took me out of Dune Prophecy thinking of Raised by Wolves...
