You know, Bill, sometimes I regret following creative folks who have brought me joy over the years when I learn their opinions, but that is NEVER the case with you. It means a lot.

THANK YOU. I don’t fucking get it.

The Lady Vanishes is wonderful.

1. Rear Window
2. North by Northwest
3. Vertigo
4. The Lady Vanishes
5. The Birds

Hon mention: High Anxiety 😉

I nudged out Psycho for The Birds and I’m surprised that it didn’t make anyone else’s top 5 either — but it’s so hard to argue with some of these others!

…and I’m all out of bread 😎

Oo-de-lally.

Too many people desperately want to believe art happens in a vacuum. I imagine that’s some of the appeal of the AI-generated stuff (but of course, big surprise in store for anyone who thinks they can, as a professor once said, “get back to the garden” there)

IT’S SO DENSE

Weirdly just saw a thread about this elsewhere — I also stand by that the political beats and overall story arc are not at all the issue with the prequels. The writing and direction just sucks. You get an interesting story told poorly, which leads to a poor story.

If only the current administration would disappear into the outer atmosphere in a frustrating, confusing, and tonally questionable deus ex machina.

Ah yes, another arena where people’s myopic lack of compassion makes my blood boil

I normally tune them out but today I got an “emigrate to Canada” ad and I felt THAT one.

This would be the best news but a lot of Catholics would get on the forums to complain that the church isn’t as good as at the beginning of your reign and why is it so accepting of trans people now or some bullshit.

What a wonderful smell you’ve discovered!
