Sigh. Ahhh, Miss Yvonne. A formative crush for, I suspect, a wide swathe of orientations lol. RIP Lynne Marie Stewart 😔

Saturday morning music: Jim O’Rourke - Bad Timing (1997), one of my most replayed albums of all time, and a new CD copy I found of R&B Hipshakers Vol 1: Teach Me To Monkey, the first of five crucial comps of lesser known soul crushers from the King & Federal labels.

Hard to explain how much this message touched me. One of the nicest things somebody has said to me on Letterboxd.

Blake’s 7 is great, but it is distractingly cast almost entirely with actors I know best as “ohh that’s the guy who has a killer line delivery in Revenge Of The Cybermen Part 3.” Favorite thing about it is that it’s sort of explicitly a dark Star Trek, where the Federation is an evil technocracy.

The new season of Invincible is real good, they’re just getting to one of the best runs in the comics. I missed any announcements that it was coming, just happened to notice they dropped four episodes last week and binged them all. Mentioning it in case any other fans missed it!

Happy 100th birthday to my guy Robert Altman, gone for 19 years now, but his movies are still being reevaluated and are still as surprising and enriching and rascally as ever. Am I a fan? I own OC & Stiggs on BluRay, come at me bro.

Huh! Well, this sucks to a huge extent! I look forward to the franchise devolving into 8-part limited series called Max Zorin: The College Years or announcements like “John Krasinski IS Felix Leiter.” GALORE: Before Goldfinger. The mind boggles comma weeps. www.bbc.com/news/article...

My favorite part of the SNL50 programming was episode 3 of the Beyond Saturday Night series, an hour plus documentary about a week making the show from the writers’ perspective. Best doc I’ve seen about how the show actually gets made since James Franco’s (which they clip for this one).

The other day I put on my next Ingmar Bergman, not, y’know, expecting slapstick, but it was The Serpent’s Egg, a drama/thriller set in 1923 Germany as the Nazis are forming. Sigh. Then I started Blakes 7, a sci-fi series about rebel fighters against a fascist galactic technocracy. Escapism!

There was a quick shot right at the end of SNL50 of Kevin Costner leaving during the goodbyes with the clearest look of “ooh, if I go right now, I’ll get my car SO fast”

Saturday music: James Brown 40th Anniversary Collection. I got the feelin’. Baby baby I got the feelin’.

So, what exactly is the sales pitch on doing your taxes this year? Is it not basically a GoFundMe to buy DOGE teens a boat?

A Confederacy Of Cucks

It’s time now for the Twin Peaks: The Return two part finale, and I am feeling preemptively bereft.

A Top 10 placement for Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler is acceptable. Still. 9 feels low, and she’s below Walter White which is slightly against god and nature.

Gordon Ramsay is just screaming his effs and jeffs at these chefs, but much like during intense action movies, Kaiju slumbers on.
