IT’S HERE!!!! I backed the Indiegogo for A WORLD WAR II FAIRYTALE: THE MAKING OF MICHAEL MANN’S THE KEEP almost 10 years ago to the day, and it’s finally here! This is so exciting!

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! My #lastfourwatched are the annual Thanksgiving watches of BLOOD RAGE and BLOOD FREAK, and I’m on a Bruce Joel Rubin kick with BRAINSTORM and GHOST. I hadn’t seen GHOST since I was a kid and sure it’s kinda cheesy but it’s really sweet. Patrick Swayze was a god among men.

@timmoydaen.bsky.social and I have a new cat! Her name is Perla and she’s 3 years old. She needed a new home after her dad was sadly deported. She’s still adjusting, but she already likes snuggles, finding all the good places for naps, playing with the pickle and bird toys, and eating chicken. ❤️

Happy #letterboxdfriday! #lastfourwatched The ultra bloody BABY BLOOD, continued Nikos Nikolaidis’s filmography with the lovely post-apocalyptic MORNING PATROL, Doris Wishman’s nudie cutie NUDE ON THE MOON, and the new Osgood Perkins film KEEPER (felt half-baked but looks great and I liked it)

I spent a few hours walking around Albany Park leaving ICE alert whistles. It was really nice walking around; I plan to start spending my Sundays just being out and present.

My favorite movies of 2025 so far. I’m leaning towards THE UGLY STEPSISTER being my number 1 favorite of the year, but then I think no, it’s PEE-WEE AS HIMSELF, wait no it’s SINNERS, or is it WEAPONS, no no…it’s so hard to choose.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! My #lastfourwatched was the stunning dark fairytale THE REFLECTING SKIN, the new Czech dramedy OUR LOVELY PIG SLAUGHTER, and two godawful Christian horror movies. My face was often frozen with fear while watching JUST BRUNO, so yes it’s a horror movie.

Trying to stay off social media so I don’t doomscroll, but I gotta check in on various peoples’ sick cats and post my #LetterboxdFriday #last4watched! A relatively good movie week compared to my usual schlock.

My personal favorite. I snatched that VHS up when the video store sold their copy because the cover was so good.
The movie does not live up to it.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.
I think I was around 9 or 10 when I read IT. I haven’t read it since, but “Her breasts were small like peaches, tasted like peaches” is forever seared into my brain. Plus, you know, *that* scene.
