always get slightly bummed when someone uploads MTV tapes on YouTube from the 90s and don't specify its MTV UK or whatever. Try to watch alternative nation and immediately hit with 3rd rate Oasis knockoffs and ads for when some band is playing in Hull
I didn't know I was lost at the time, on Arlington Road (1999)
Thinking of Adam Driver get into the headspace of what it would REALLY feel like to have a red diamond on his forehead and pointy teeth.
1976's "Prometrium" is the most prog of all possible prog rock albums. none more prog than this.
There's going out and there's watching BSG reruns in bed. Easy choice
"Nine PBS in St. Louis filed a lawsuit against information management corporation Iron Mountain Data Centers July 28, seeking to recover over 50 terabytes of archival materials stored in one of the company’s Denver-based data centers." HT @kslater.bsky.social gizmodo.com/pbs-station-...

I will contend that the comic book movie as a genre peaked with the 1-2 punch of Spider-Man 2 and Hulk. Batman Begins was a net negative for the form because studios took the wrong lesson. Since then, movies stopped trying to actually match the visual potential of comics
Episode 1 of the new season of Reacher demonstrates shockingly poor archival practices. The worst case scenario for poor staffing and lack of secure physical storage. 📜
Rewatching Avenger Infinity War for the first time this decade. I don't think Doomsday will be as good but I also think its style and look has really aged. Flat lighting and most of the movie being people talking in medium shots. What seemed impressive now feels like a long TV episode
My phone just told me the predicted temp tomorrow and I flung it across the room. I'm positing using voice commands stop STOP
They make pizza bagels in taquito form now and my kids are ready to give me 3 michelin stars
“should we just write something together right here on the spot?” please no, I cannot do this and your asking me this has evacuated any thought I might have had from my brain
This is where retail workers go when you ask them to look in "the back"

what you will hear actors, writers and directors etc bleat is -- when you translate it from self-pity word salad -- "I don't want you to make me feel bad about the active decision I made." nah. they knew better and did it anyway. no part of that is on us
Well, back to the mines (an air conditioned cubicle in the basement of an office building)
Eating all the rice krispies treats we bought for the kids lunches
Cover Me by Bruce Springsteen is a goth anthem about being agoraphobic and traumatized but still desperate for human connection
Telling my kids that the weratedogs account sucks and they started crying. Never have heroes.
TWIN PEAKS! ☕ Happy to say I own the entirety of the original series on Laserdisc, alongside the movie Fire Walk With Me, and the European cut of the Pilot that tacks on an ending where Bob is just a drifter who killed Laura Palmer. Missing David Lynch and his art dearly during these times 🤍💿
