BP noms, ranked (pending my viewing of I'm Still Here) Nickel Boys Dune 2 The Brutalist A Complete Unknown Anora Conclave (Big gap) The Substance Emilia Pérez Wicked Not a great year for movies! I have some problems even with the top of my list, and Emilia Pérez and Wicked are both actively bad.

We made a mushroom wellington in an attempt to find a substantive meat-free Thanksgiving entrée for my vegetarian father. Mostly successful, although next time we need a thicker crust.

I have no idea what kids read these days, but I feel like Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain probably deserve more attention. I returned to The High King so many times growing up.

Glad to see MoMA doing two 24-hour viewings of The Clock, but they should really tack on a Valentine's Day screening. What's more romantic than long-form arthouse cinema? www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/a...

I have been doing a deep dive on Barth for the last year or so; sometimes I think he's a genius, sometimes I think he's a vestige of 60s countercultural experimentalism best left in the past. But he always makes me think. We've lost a uniquely American voice. RIP www.nytimes.com/2024/04/02/b...

Noooo, don't put TV shows on my precious movie app. (But seriously, Letterboxd is one of the last good social media apps and I hope this doesn't fuck it up) www.nytimes.com/2023/09/29/b...

Still thinking about the mysterious person at my Oppenheimer screening who cracked open a beer exactly when the test countdown reached zero.

Glad to know the Washington Post is doing the hard work answering the deep and profound questions I had after watching Oppenheimer (namely, "What's he dipping those martini glasses in?") https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2023/07/25/oppenheimer-martini-gin-honey/

Full moon tonight, which means it’s time once again for The 2023 Lunar Ritual (listening to the new Peter Gabriel single and wondering when the album is going to drop)

The migration over here has led to a great leveling…even the former Twitter power users are only getting a handful of likes.
