Brooke Eby passed away after a long struggle with ALS. She was charming, vibrant and full of joy. Her sense of humor was elite. I hate that we have to go on without her. www.tiktok.com/@limpbroozki...

Starting the day off watching some Vitaphone shorts and reminiscing on Ron Hutchinson's legacy.
Letterboxd is valuable because Hollywood can’t manufacture its engaged community, but studio ownership could put that very appeal at risk.
Can Letterboxd Stay Letterboxd Under Studio Ownership?
Letterboxd, once a niche social network for cinephiles to review, recommend and discover films, is now the subject of a potential nine-figure acquisition. As reported by the New York Times last week, the Canadian technology company Tiny is exploring selling its controlling stake in Letterboxd, with Sony Pictures, A24, and the Times itself expressing interest in a deal that could reach more than $300 million.

Playing Wolfenstein and King's Quest VI (Minotaur in the Catacombs of the Ancients) in the 1990s prepared me for Backrooms.

Recently started listening to Barely Breathing again and I was surprised how I still have all of the lyrics memorized. An anthem for Gen X/Xennials. God speed Duncan Sheik.

Duncan Sheik, Who Traded Pop Stardom for Broadway, Dies at 56
Weary of the heartthrob label after his 1996 hit “Barely Breathing,” he pivoted to musical theater and won two Tonys for composing “Spring Awakening.”

I'm sad to hear that we lost Patricio Guzmán. His documentaries on the political, social and ecological history of Chile are truly enlightening. God speed.
Earlier in the year I had the honor of writing a piece on the legendary Bob Mackie for TCM. Mackie's impact on the history of fashion especially in television and film is immeasurable. God speed to a one-of-a-kind visionary. www.tcm.com/articles/598...

I went in expecting a Leon Helm biopic. Came out having watched this kickass, righteous throwback BOXCAR BERTHA/THIEVES LIKE US backwoods actioner.
Bilge Ebiri@bilgeebiri.bsky.social · 2w agoStarring Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe, THE WEIGHT opens in theaters this week. It was one of the best films at both Sundance and Berlin this year. I wish there was more hoopla around it. Please see it. I don't think you'll be disappointed. www.vulture.com/article/the-...
Our washing machine is broken and the hubs called our local appliance shop to schedule service. But I'm like oh I'll tinker with it and save us the $199 plus parts. GUESS WHO FIXED IT. And I didn't even need a YouTube video to help me.
