#MowingShuffleMix was also Toilet Handle Repair Shuffle Mix today. The White Stripes debut album bookended the mix, with Tom Waits, Paramore, Neil Young, A Sunny Day in Glasgow, Swans, The National, Angelo Badalamenti’s Blue Velvet opening credits, Radiohead, and Mazzy Star in between.

Warner Bros. took the only known copy of THE SEA HAWK (1924), snipped out the epic ship scenes for later use, never used them, lost them, and the entire movie only survives because of Czech archives. CEOs come and go. Corporate culture is forever.
William Bibbiani@williambibbiani.bsky.social · 4h agoI'm not comfortable with folks saying COYOTE VS. ACME was "worth the wait." I'd argue the opposite. It was worth NOT waiting for. Warner Bros. shelving a whole film as a tax write-off, potentially forever, doesn't become forgivable if it's good. That's what the word "unforgivable" is for.

You know what I liked as a kid? Dom DeLuise’s voice showing up in animated movies. An American Tail or whatever, didn’t matter. Dude was funny as hell to my 5 year old sensibilities.

Several people have asked about VAST OF NIGHT recently, as it's no longer streaming on Amazon. Spoke with director Andrew Patterson about it last night and he took the rights back, partnered with someone, and a physical and new streaming release is coming soon. So VAST OF NIGHT is coming back!

Phoebe Bridgers’ Summer Better Than Others playlist on Apple Music is pretty fire. Alex G, Cameron Winter, The Beatles, Yo La Tengo, Mitski, Magnetic Fields. Good stuff.

Stephen Root is one of the very few actors who has Philip Seymour Hoffman’s ability to play hyper-powerful will-eat-you-alive guys and mewling human-flop-sweat guys equally convincingly. A true great.
Karen Geier@karengeier.com · 3d agohe's great in everything but I think OFTEN about that episode of NewsRadio where he has to read the english translation of the Japanese translation of Jimmy James' book and how goddamned funny it was and how everyone must have corpsed multiple times in shooting it.
Stephen Root appreciation post. One of the great character actors. When he shows up in a thing, you know that thing is going to be excellent.
One thing about this: as always it’s going to be essential that trans people or the league under siege from this garbage not be left alone to fend for themselves. More NBA players calling out and shaming this horseshit would go a long way.
When is @criterion.bsky.social gonna release The Ballad of Buster Scruggs with a hardback book cover like they did for The Princess Bride? I don’t even know if it’s in their plans, but they can feel free to take my idea.

Our dinner was cowboy burgers, a corn salad made with Newman’s Own dressing, and some fries. Our movie is the Paul Newman (hence the dressing) western, Hud. Happy summer.
#MowingShuffleMix Hank Williams, Cocteau Twins, Bikini Kill, Julia Holter, double Stones, Dylan, Vampire Weekend, Muddy Waters in The Last Waltz, and double Prince. The double-doubles threw me, but we’re welcome since they were all BANGERS.
Rewatching GODZILLA MINUS ONE, and on top of everything else, Doc Noda really might be the best human Godzilla character ever.

It sometimes feels like we're living in a ridiculously exaggerated folk tale with wildly implausible villains. For example, as the president takes billions for himself and his family and *coats his things in gold,* the soldiers fighting his war can't get toothpaste, hot water, or a clean toilet.
Moldy showers and no soap: Military families are outraged by conditions on USS Lincoln
The aircraft carrier's long deployment in the Iran war is raising concerns that the sailors and Marines on board are facing poor conditions, low supplies and fatigue.
