Moxie... the middle finger of sodas.

Three orange cans of Moxie soda, each can posed to show the illustration of the spokesperson in a suit and tie with slicked-back hair pointing somewhat menacingly and insistently at us.

A cartoon showing a weird squiggly guy with the caption "I have two moods."

On the left we see squiggly guy with a big smile on his face as he stares at a yummy-looking cup of iced coffee. This mood is labeled "hehe."

On the right we see squiggly guy looking angry and heaving a stool over his head. This mood is labeled "not hehe."

Best adaptation of The Odyssey, wrong answers only

A still from Halloween showing Dr. Loomis and a caretaker in a cemetery looking at something on the ground. Loomis says "He came home."

Happy #Letterboxd Friday What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? #filmsky This week included a classic of American independent cinema, a claustrophobic thriller with a great cast but middling script, a brilliant deconstruction of slashers and crime docs, and the capper to Spielberg's alien contact trilogy.

My recently viewed on Letterboxd showing The Return of the Secaucus Seven (rated 4 1/2 stars), Retreat (rated 3 stars), Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (rated 4 1/2 stars, a rewatch), and Disclosure Day (rated 3 1/2 stars).

Possibly my favorite use of split screen in a movie.

A split screen shot from 500 Days of Summer. On the left we see Zoey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt's characters standing on a balcony smiling at each other. This is labeled "Expectations." On the right side, we see Gordon-Levitt standing on the same balcony alone, taking a drink. This is labeled "Reality."

I had just been reading an old pulp scifi story set on Venus involving weird, glowing yellow skies, only to see it come to life outside due to the Canadian wildfires. Horrified me thinking of how bad it must be up there.

I'm not sure I have much to say about the passing of Sam Neill that hasn't been better said by others; he was a great actor but more importantly came across as a thoughtful, decent person. That's a great legacy. Thank you for the joy and inspiration you brought all of us through your work and life.

Two images of me dressed as two of Sam Neiil's most iconic movie characters: Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park and John Trent from In the Mouth of Madness.

I can't say my reading habits are very mature lately but the escapism has been nice and frankly essential.

My reprint copy of Planet Stories volume 1, issue 1, showing Venusian Amazon warriors fighting grey alien monsters.

Happy #Letterboxd Friday What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? #filmsky This week included a bunch of rewatches, including an uneven remake of a horror classic, one of the best 1950s paranoia scifi flicks, a slight scifi/horror erotica comedy, and a Carpenter/Fulci-infused cosmic horror flick.

A scene from The Muppet Movie showing Don Deluise (dressed in fishing gear) in a swamp asking Kermit the Frog "Can you help me? I seem to have lost my sense of direction!" Kermit (holding a banjo) replies "Have you tried Hare Krishna?"

I remember mine. I went through two or three of these guys; web-swinging and battling evil can be tough on a toy.

While he's well-regarded as a screenwriter, director, and artist, rightfully so, let's not forget his rarely exercised but undeniable skills as a comedic actor. His performance as Sgt. Pinback in Dark Star has so many brilliant moments, particularly his video journal scene.

Happy #Letterboxd Friday What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? #filmsky This week's viewing was bookended by two current horror blockbusters with roots in YouTube and also included a gritty street-racing classic and a gorgeously disturbing avant-garde stop-motion fairy tale.

My recently viewed on Letterboxd showing Obsession (rated 3 1/2 stars), Two-Lane Blacktop (rated 3 1/2 stars), Blood Tea & Red String (rated 4 stars), and Backrooms (rated 4 stars, a rewatch).
