Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover if you'd like.
I'm at @comicsjournal.bsky.social again, covering the full comics adaptation of Paul Auster's New York Trilogy. I'm pretty measured in this, but the capsule summary doesn't lie. High pedigree, low rewards. www.tcj.com/an-empty-roo...
Exciting to see a bunch of new followers on here, I post about once a month and it's usually stuff like "Don Gordon might have been the most 70s actor of all 70s actors"
Early for New Year's resolutions, but I am personally going to get "The Girl Can't Dance" by Bunker Hill up to one million listens, watch this space
The urgent care waiting room is maybe the worst place to discover your set of crime novels is actually a mis-covered biography of actor Bert Lahr
I read Spider-Man: Lifeline for the Steve Rude art, and while the comic is not great, this is incredible hater behavior
Stopped first by the perversity of a Le Carre booklist in alphabetical order, second by a sense of what the intolerable conversations must have been like on the way to publication. This only happens if a very stupid person gets their way
I just watched HARDCORE (1979). The more of Scharder’s films I see, the more FIRST REFORMED is notable not just as a late-career triumph but as a great movie by someone who has been wildly inconsistent this whole time.
Think I might use Bluesky mostly the way people use Letterboxd? Anyway I just watched DEEP COVER, terrifically made thriller, perfect balance of grounded and heightened. Bill Duke is a national treasure.
