Leviticus is really good and really heartbreaking. Sort of a gay It Follows.
He's an uptight dweeb but Sgt Howie really is a good cop. Extremely driven, working undercover, won't be bribed, etc. You ever wonder if his precinct sent him to Summerisle to get him out of their hair for making the rest of them look incompetent like in Hot Fuzz?
I think about the peckin' party bit from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on social media a whole lot
Made blueberry pie! Recipe from the Joy of Cooking 1997 edition. I made the crust with Crisco (solid stick form) and omitted butter from the filling so that it would be vegan and it came out great! (Definitely use lemon zest and fresh-squeezed juice--it really kicks it up a notch!)
got hit with a nasty summer cold so I've been working from home with this guy
How I feel overcoming Millennial anxiety to phonebank people pestering them to call their representatives to pass an anti-data center law
One of the reasons Obsession works so well is that the leading actress's face actually moves and makes interesting expressions because she hasn't lifted/filler'ed/botoxed herself into a goddamn wax dummy like most A-listers
How I feel after fixing the annoying runny toilet that has been driving me nuts for weeks
When a magazine whose editors blackballed you, published a thinly-veiled knockoff of your most famous work, and spread horrible career-killing rumors about you pops up out of the blue to follow you on social media...
we figured out how to light dark dramatic shadowy people 100 years ago, but I guess we forgot somehow around like 2017
To those of you who keep comparing Erika Kirk to the Bride of Chucky: stop. It's incredibly offensive. Tiffany Valentine genuinely loved and supported her gendafluid child.
I'm sure her politics are terrible but I kind of love this woman for nicking a couple bottles of wine during the shooting
Theda Bara's Cleopatra (1917). Wildly expensive, popular, and scandalous in its day, every complete copy has perished in a fire and the film is now considered lost.
I wanna put these two camps of readers in a jar and shake it to make 'em fight
Not to mention supplements! When influencers rail against processed food and then try and sell you supplements... bright neon blue spirulina powder does not grow on trees lmao
Dale Cooper throwing rocks at a bottle while yammering about Tibet is legitimately a more effective form of criminal investigation than whatever the fuck Kash Patel is doing
Delighted to see a shout-out to "Everyone Is Beautiful..." in the latest @currentaffairs.bsky.social, in a terrific article about the films of Russ Meyer.
