Blaring Roxy Music's 'Country Life'. That album still kills it. There's an alt universe where Eno stayed a couple more years and 'Stranded' and 'Country Life' became artier, more discordant masterpieces, but the purest form of Roxy Music is one dominated by Ferry's foppish crooner bullshit.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

#nw REAL GENIUS (1985) A staple of '80s-kids cinema. One of the great nerds-can-be-heroes movies from that era. It was finally cool to be a dweeb as long as you were sticking it to the man.

at least Musk can put this election out of his mind by thinking about the horrible Q1 delivery numbers for Telsa that drop tomorrow morning

REAL GENIUS and TOP SECRET! were cult movies that really felt like they belonged to me, my generation, and my kind. Val Kilmer had a cool charisma that felt effortless. RIP to a true star.

Sad to hear about the passing of Val Kilmer. Such a great actor, such presence. One I feel like I grew up watching — watched REAL GENIUS about a million times as a kid. And has there ever been a performance with quite the same electricity as his Doc Holliday in TOMBSTONE? Rest in peace, king.

My love for THE COLOR OF MONEY continues to grow. One of those films I could watch every day of my life, in no small part to Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio's pitch perfect performance as someone new to the hustle, but smart and tough and catching on quickly. (And what a babe.)

lol. Watching ROBOCOP and just noticed Captain Turner from Deadwood playing another mouth-breathing henchman. Hard to avoid typecasting when you're the Platonic ideal of a certain form.
