Love this film too! I wrote about it for Film Comment back in 2016. Bob Cummings's finest hour-and-37-minutes. But Hazel Brooks steals it. www.filmcomment.com/blog/sleep-m...

When former BFI head honcho Robin tells you a film is fantastic, take note. I just watched Claudette Colbert being terrific in Douglas Sirk’s Sleep, My Love and EVERYTHING he says about this too-little-known noir/melodrama is on the money. And speaking of money, it’s free to watch on YouTube.

I really try to not be a neckbeard atheist about this shit but I was raised to believe, as a large swath of my family still does, that Jesus is coming back soon and *nothing* that happens here matters. It's a level of abject nihilism that's hard to understand if you weren't directly exposed to it.

skunk the brand skunk the brand keep skunking the brand

Sotheby’s is auctioning off a true piece of cocktail history: this bottle of Sazerac Whiskey Cocktail, from between 1902 and 1911, bottled by the Sazerac House in New Orleans. This is the original Sazerac Cocktail, as bottled by the folks who perfected it, and I’ve never seen another example.

Think a lot about what Talia Lavin has said about how Christianity will have to deal with its extremists, whether it wants to or not. Because those folks are at war, even if the rest of us (and this would be the point) are not

Jodi Ernst reminds me how many Republicans worship Trump precisely because he freed them from having to pretend they weren’t the biggest assholes you’ve ever even conceived of

trump's department of homeland security has thus far arrested: a judge a democratic mayor a democratic congresswoman now handcuffing a democratic congressional staffer gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Having a bit of the well-at-least-she-said-it-out-loud feeling about Ernst’s comment, but it’s still alarming, alarmingly bad.

Loretta Swit was so not good in S.O.B.

This administration are torturing criminals

Joni Ernst is a POS: "Illegals" don't get Medicaid benefits. Medicaid is not money mailed to people. Medicaid PAYS health bills. My mom's memory care was paid for by Medicaid. And it's HARD as HELL to qualify. Undocumented people sometimes pay IN thru taxes. They do NOT get friggin' benefits. Bitch.

Not sure I’ve ever seen one second of this #TCMParty

#TCMParty My Fair Lady tomorrow

As I note here, really zero reason to believe Elon is stepping away from anything. This is all a crisis comms campaign. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dont-...

He went on Megyn Kelly and fucking apologized to her and the right wing media. Just absolutely pathetic ass shit.

I don’t want to know how KOTH feels about Trmp

First Dem who doesn’t release a cheesy thin book with a noble title becomes president

Completely agree, and we also need to discuss gambling’s role in this. Bets + the availability of players on social media has turned into a really ugly thing.

“This is a digital coup, embedding itself into the core I.T. infrastructure of federal agencies with little oversight…This isn’t just unauthorized access -- it’s a full-scale redirection of the government’s digital nervous system into the hands of an unelected billionaire.”

Eichmann snowed Hannah Arendt in a number of ways, but she really was onto something about the inability to think—and the inability to conceptualize the minds of others—as a source of evil www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
