A lot of boos coming from inside the house due to my insistence on calling the ill better half a “phlegm bae” (now you too can boo from the comfort of your own home!)

Can I offer you some baseball in these trying times? www.patreon.com/posts/123321...

PSA: If you have a student loan in forbearance, CHECK IT NOW. Especially if you have them automatically pull the money from your bank account. I have documents from Mohela saying that my next payment wasn't due until 4/28/2025. It was pulled today. I'm ok but this is a bad kind of surprise.

Those moving images on the silver screen, pretty great stuff

To steal words from @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social “If you are someone who supports persecuting trans persons and driving them out of public life, you are evil and you are my enemy and I do not want anything to do with you, ever.”

Few things fill me with apprehension more than the phrase "adult animation" but I've been quite taken with Common Side Effects. For all of its global conspiracy driven story, it's much more empathetically human than I was expecting.

Apropos of rewatching Moneyball on a day where the outdoor temp reached 70, I have a big baseball essay coming later this week for subscribers. patreon.com/WyethLeslie

Skinamarink fanart from forever ago

Not usually one for live albums but my sad dads came through tidal.com/browse/track...

eww

I hope he’s having a blast in the great big night club in the sky.

One of the pleasures of Modern American Cinema was to listen to Gene Hackman chewing up good dialogue and making it even better, to me he's clearly doing a Tony Scott imitation throughout Crimson Tide youtu.be/hur6LcyuTuU?...

this is leaving Amazon Prime in 5 days! highly recommend watching if you want to see Louis Koo flick his cigarette in the air and catch it mid-fight

I just think hospitality and retail workers should get to fight customers

“When Mikkelsen finally lets himself lose control completely, the effect is immediate & overwhelming. A man who’d been measuring out his life in coffee spoons throughout the film finally, physically, sounding his barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.” - @chadperman.bsky.social on ANOTHER ROUND

Love that every week now has the "It's only Wednesday" feeling but on a global scale.

absolutely dying at the report that when the Eagles were asked whether they’d accept an invite to the Trump White House to honor their Super Bowl victory, the answer was a "massive no.” death to fascism, go Birds 🦅

30 days until Opening Day

I can't believe you people are making me read Grummz tweets on god's own social media application, Bluesky, where such things ought not to happen

Imagine this thing talking to you in the middle of the night like something out of Skinamarink

Save me from the horrors, baseball

I honestly think it would be hilarious if there was one family on White Lotus that was having just the best time, like we get two miserable storylines and then occasionally cut to this family going “We saw three dolphins!”

If you have a device that CAN run Apple Intelligence you need to turn this off as well as the general Apple Intelligence setting. Settings > Screen Time > scroll down to Content and Privacy > turn on Restrictions > Intelligence and Siri > turn off the first three options

If you've been wanting a horror essay that runs the gauntlet from Sam Raimi to Michael Haneke to Coralie Fargeat do I have a gift for you!

After seeing The Brutalist I am now fully onboard with Conclave sweep at the Oscars (I know Nickel Boys is like the actual best but it was in theaters for a few seconds in my corner of the world)

I’ll try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness has proved but hollow courtesy.

so like the "rural trump voters still deserve mail service" thing goes hand in hand with "don't misgender people even if they're assholes" and "the unhoused guy who street harassed you still deserves housing" and "your cousin who stole 5k from his parents still deserves affordable psych meds" etc

At some point I had put "Tony Jack Day" into my calendar app and it took a moment to remember why.

same.

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

Nosferatu is about how you could have avoided death and disease and mayhem if you just stayed home and kicked it with your wife

a whale must be near

Audibly gasped at a Severance casting reveal this week.

S2 has Tom Hollander?! Britain’s finest deadpan?!

the cast of "House" (ハウス) [1977]

John Wick movie but he goes after all the people who send scam texts and emails

A real range of moods as of late

Thinking a lot about A Hidden Life (2019) these days.
