how is the sex purge movie not just titled 'the urge'

LOL. Abdul El-Sayed WON the Democratic Primary in Michigan despite being outspent 10-1! Amazing gaslighting here.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

You can tell just how not-thought-through this premise is that apparently the dystopian sex purge world doesn't care about suppressing gay sex

i'm locked in on this film sorry to anyone else

I went to see Dennis Hopper speak at the IFI in Dublin when he was here making Space Truckers, maybe 1995? Someone asked him about his photography, he replied 'The only photo on the wall of my house is one of me in bed with John Huston & John Ford.' Then he went on to explain how it happened.

“I prefer to think that God is not dead, just drunk.” -John Huston #BOTD

Genuinely a hilarious dick move for Hoban to include a glossary of slang at the very end of RIDDLEY WALKER with zero heads-up that it's there (but includes a MAP in the front of the book)

I wrote about my years filming with ex-wino turned chessmaster John Healy, exploring his bitter exile from the British literary world despite writing a runaway bestseller: www.rte.ie/culture/2026...

In the arena - John Healy's long road back from literary oblivion

Ahead of a special IFI screening of his acclaimed documentary Barbaric Genius, filmmaker Paul Duane reflects on the life and literary legacy of the film's subject, Grass Arena author John Healy.

Paul Duane 🥔@paulduane.bsky.social · 2w ago

Back in 1988 John Healy published his memoir The Grass Arena about his life as a wino turned chessmaster. This August the sequel, The Glass Cage, is published. To coincide with this @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social screen my 2011 documentary about Healy. Please share if you can ifi.ie/film/from-th...

I despise Substack and have previously said I will never read it (and I don't). But I will break my rule just for this eally disturbing piece of writing by Neko Case, who was / is in a band, The New Pornographers, who were supported by The Frames in 2002. nekocase.substack.com/p/in-what-fu...

IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE?

This last week I was just cookin’ along minding my business when I suddenly found myself quite depressed.

Oh my god I think I found the video.

Re-reading RIDDLEY WALKER the same way I read it the first time: out loud to myself in the worst "guy who has seen one Guy Ritchie movie" British accent you've ever heard

Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

Power-Mad Marvel Claims ‘Night At The Roxbury’ Part Of MCU https://theonion.com/power-mad-marvel-claims-night-at-the-roxbury-part-of-mcu/

ALL NIGHT LONG (1962): Setting Othello at a jazz party (w/ Mingus & Brubeck as themselves in the band) is already a pretty good idea, but throwing in a pitch-perfect ratfucker performance by Patrick McGoohan as the Iago figure seals the deal

What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

still makes me laugh

Lots to recommend about BETWEEN THE LINES—its prescient depiction of alt-weeklies getting enshittified, the murderer’s row of character actors (like a baby-faced John Heard), the slice of life 70’s stuff—but above all else is the scene where Jeff Goldblum & Raymond Barry have a performance art duel

THE PRISONER but the Village is a prison camp/retirement home for improv comics and Number 6 is the one person in the community who refuses to “Yes, and” anything

You ever wonder if one of the people the OG Gnostics used to hang out with did Jim from The Office faces whenever they started talking about the Demiurge. Just listening to ‘matter is a prison for the spirit’ while sneaking little ‘get a load-a dis’ faces at the camera

respectfully, we've taken a few days to talk about the translator's take on The Odyssey and I would like to get back to my original question of "Why Did Odysseus Put That One Suitor In A Dragon Sleeper and Who Taught Him How to Do That in Ancient Greece?" if that's okay

Mad Max: Fury Road is empirically better than any Marvel or DC superhero movie because the villain in MMFR, Immortan Joe, says things like "Bah! Mediocre" when one of his guys gets killed rather than "For this you shall feel the utmost power of my legendary wrath" & shit like that

Saw I LOVE BOOSTERS & I really appreciated its no-ideas-refused approach. Giant Katamari balls? Check. Skinless guys? We got 'em. A pussy-eating demon? Come on in, buddy. Don Cheadle in a fat suit? You bet your ass he's here. Demi Moore reciting the worst dialogue you've ever heard? That's a bingo

There will come a day when I stop doing / thinking about Bernthal as Menelaus hitting a “LEMME TELLYA SOMETHIN, LEMME TELL YA SOMETHIN,” but it is not this day

Had an appointment to see my mechanic today but when I called to tell them the tow truck was running late the shop told me they had no record of my appointment today because all the appts made over the phone are done by an AI agent who keeps booking time slots that don’t exist

He is so good at this
