Modernism and media studies at UC Berkeley. Mediocre film photographer. Excellent baseball fan. Downtime: The Twentieth Century in Slow Motion (Columbia UP) out in May, 2025.
I know I should wait for the Odyssey in the historically accurate format Homer intended: as AI slop on my phone. But the Grand Lake theater will have to do.
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains. TBF there is a lot on this that sounds like nirvana+soundgarden+pearl jam+alice in chains

I respect that James Gunn, even when he’s going full dorky anti-fascism in this season of Peacemaker, can’t resist a good sight gag. If only I didn’t think that Nazi crocs would probably sell pretty well in our dimension right now.
William Friedkin directed the Exorcist and this suckling pig aspic thing from Sorcerer is clearly the most terrifying shot of his career.
