A still from Mad Men season 2, episode 10, "The Inheritance". Betty Draper (January Jones) and Glen Bishop (Marten Holden Weiner) sit side-by-side on a sofa watching television (off-screen). Betty sips from a bottle of Coke. They are both lonely and a comfort to one another.

You're already there, Other Mommy. You're already there.

A still from the upcoming film Other Mommy (2026). Other Mommy (Jessica Chastain), shot from below, her head and neck visible, looks directly into the camera. The subtitled dialogue she's just spoken, "Can I go into your heart?", is at the bottom of the still. Other Mommy has dark red hair and tears in her eyes. Other Mommy is both menacing and extremely attractive.

Me after watching the season finale of Widow’s Bay, the best new series on television, a sublime blend of comedy and horror with elements of Stephen King, John Carpenter, Parks and Rec, and Twin Peaks. Stellar writing and direction plus an absolutely killer cast. I love it so much!

Listening to Nine Inch Noize

A behind-the-scenes still from Twin Peaks: The Return of Kyle MacLachlan as Mr. C. He has long black hair, dark eyes, and a creepy grin. He’s wearing a black leather jacket and standing before a red curtain. There’s a caption on the still reading “Real evil pleasure.”

Rewatched Birth on Sunday and (finally!) watched Portrait of a Lady on Fire last night. Love these films, in part, because they both feature long takes of a character absolutely going through it in a theater. Stunning, overwhelming scenes of actors wordlessly conveying various emotions. Phenomenal.

There was in fact some beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine all along the way in 2025 thanks to these sweethearts

A screenshot of the Most Watched Actor and Most Watched Director from my 2025 Letterboxd Year in Review. My Most Watched Actor was Jack Nance. He’s shown in a black and white photograph wearing a sweater and collared shirt, looking surprisingly collegiate. My Most Watched Director was David Lynch. He’s shown in a color photograph wearing a suit, sans tie, his hair perfect.

Saw One Battle After Another yesterday (in glorious 70mm at the gorgeous Oriental Theatre in Milwaukee.) Mind still abuzz. The acting. An angry call versus a calm, casual evacuation. Lockjaw’s walk. The humor. Two kids on a radio. The hilly chase. The hope. Can’t wait to see it again.

A group of six different posters for the film One Battle After Another. The posters are in two rows of three and feature images of six of the film’s characters on white backgrounds. The characters are (clockwise from top-left): Pat Calhoun / Bob Ferguson (Leonardo DiCaprio), Col. Steven J. Lockjaw (Sean Penn), Sergio St. Carlos (Benicio del Toro), Willa Ferguson / Charlene Calhoun (Chase Infiniti), Perfidia Beverly Hills (Teyana Taylor), and Deandra (Regina Hall).

All these malignant bigots about. These indignant cowards, these insecure losers. You get to walk this earth with the divine Sade and this is how you choose to be?!

A bottle of Oi Ocha Unsweetened Green Tea featuring an image of Oi Ocha Global Ambassador and Los Angeles Dodger, Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani poses with a bat in his hands, mid-swing. He’s looking directly into the camera with an expression on his face like he wants to bash in your head.
