It was fifty years ago today…

I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND remains my favorite Robert Zemeckis movie. I won’t be taking questions.

Writing’s the easy part.

Happy (?) “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury to those who celebrate! users.wpi.edu/~zrbutzke/Do...

Reading Nabokov to Obi-Wan. Alas, he’s not impressed.

Tip: when “Jesse’s Girl” starts playing in the restaurant where you’re having lunch, you’re required to say, “Rick Springfield. He’s a buddy of mine!”

A (tiny) sampling of the library at Casa JJ.

It’s kind of like that.

The latest issue of A24 includes a reprint of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s classic psychological horror story “The Yellow Wallpaper” with Backrooms wallpaper.

How dare this Parsons whippersnapper take snapshots of my subconscious and turn it into a movie.

I’ll be on the following panels at NecronomiCon Providence this August: Mucho Mojo Storyteller The Electric Nightmares of Philip K Dick The Pale Song of the Butterfly Collector Tales from the Crypt: EC Comics

When the power is out but you have a novella to write… On the plus side, I’ve crossed the ten thousand-word threshold of the novella, which means I’m a quarter of the way through.

Welp, this was fucked up in the best way possible.

At Barnes and Noble, @vlatinalondon.bsky.social and @gabino.bsky.social in conversation.

Very sad to hear of Thomas Tessier’s passing. He was one of the genre’s true greats, carving out a body of work by turns insightful and terrifying. His voice was erudite, his vision clear and disturbing.

Still one of the greatest action movies ever made.

One of the funniest movies ever. I won’t be taking questions.

Tonight’s episode: The Zeppo.

Man, Sallis could write.

THEY LIVE is one of the greatest documentaries ever made. I won’t be taking questions.

Beavis and Butthead Do America is one of the funniest movies ever made. I won’t be taking questions.

Two years ago today I was wheeled into the operating room to undergo bypass surgery, after repeated angina and avoiding a widowmaker heart attack by mere weeks. To my own amazement, I’m still here.

Tonight.

Last night’s movie vs. tonight’s movie. I see a pattern.

Good morning.

Today’s mail is an accurate depiction of the inside of my brain.

Trying to decide which to see today. I have a ticket for one. The other would eat up my entire afternoon.

I keep forgetting how much of The Last Starfighter is modeled after a Heinlein juvenile.
