Top five film genres:

Technicolor melodrama that you can either laugh at or cry with depending on your mood

Musicals the sheer existence of which is genuinely baffling

Old dark house mysteries

Stylish Italian interior with a bottle of J&B

Films by enthusiastic amateurs
Top five film genres

threadbare real world locations shot in and then moved on from in an afternoon

Zombies standing in as the thing that is so horrible we can't look at it

Car goes vroom

Crime is the underpinning of all human endeavor

The past never ever died. The future might not be.
Top five film genres:

guy goes looking for Alfredo Garcia's head
guy joins the army and finds he can't die, uses this to figure out how to defeat the aliens after dying horribly about 1000 times
80s italian zombie movies
woman meets Cary Grant, he's an asshole, they fall in love
same but John Wayne

Wouldn't it be tragic if someone "Masque of the Red Death"ed them?
"The ultrawealthy are wielding their growing fortunes to glide through a rarefied realm unencumbered by the inconveniences of ordinary life. They don’t wait in lines. They don’t jostle with airport crowds or idle unnecessarily in traffic."

The Ultrarich Are Spending a Fortune to Live in Extreme Privacy
In Miami and elsewhere, the wealthy are moving in increasingly private spheres, shelling out big money to bypass the indignities of public life.

I just had a job interview that I can only compare to the ending of "Flowers for Algernon." Literally every word I said was a little less coherent than the last. I wanted to apologize.

I'm reading a book of Poe's short stories, and I realize he was pivotal in the development of detective fiction, but the Dupin stories are like reading contracts for fun. I've been toiling through "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" for a week.

If you make fun of Dick Cheney today you are really making fun of all YOUR friends who've shot THEIR friends in the face in a hunting "accident" and also all your friends who masterminded Iraq War II

Applied for Collection Development Manager at my current library. It's a lateral move, and it means staying in Indiana longer than I planned, but I'm very qualified -- I've literally already done this on a smaller scale -- and it would help me get to where I want to be professionally.

OMG, it's the trans argument all over again! The majority cannot have a little bit of fascism as a treat! You cannot isolate a people of a particular race, gender, religion, ability, etc. and say it's okay to abuse them as long as everyone else is allowed to thrive. Get bent.

I can’t wrap my head around the fact that Boris Karloff was shorter than Bella Lugosi. I just don’t know what to believe anymore.

The guitarist at the Sparks show was swishy as hell and I’m obsessed with.

Seeing Sparks and Pulp in concert this week, because now’s the time to see all the bands I should have seen in the 1990s.

I had a pretty good interview with a library in Southeast Michigan. It is possible that they hire someone local, or an internal candidate, but I am reasonably confident I didn’t just bomb. What else has been going on today?

When I went for my Covid vaccine, the pharmacist told me they were only allowed with underlying conditions. Thankfully, RFK doesn’t give a shit if fatties get ASD, or whatever the fuck the worms in his brain have convinced him the vaccine causes.
