Someone does not know about this who really should, and volume 2 is out now. Adorable, gory, and creepy too.

The Ben Affleck cameo is brief, but it's unmistakeably him

Barbara Stanwyck is inextricable from The Lady Eve for me. And I started my Preston Sturges phase during high school, so that may actually have been a Barbara Stanwyck/Claudette Colbert phase.

Still from The Lady Eve, with Stanwyck cuddling a stunned Henry Fonda

Still from Palm Beach Story, where Joel McCrea is opening a zipper on the back of Claudette Colbert's dress while she dithers about whether or not she should stay with this big lug she loves

Sometimes I have to admit my love for the movie REPO MAN blinds me to the fact that it’s basically the soundtrack, two good performances, and Robby Mueller’s cinematography

Counterpoint from Talking Heads

Lyrics to “Crosseyed and Painless” by Talking Heads

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting

Every time I have jury duty downtown I get a cup of vending machine coffee. It isn’t any better this time. But it’ a buck and a half and it passes the time.

Ohhh that's the stuff

We said, This is crazy. We’re not going to do this again. You ever worked around trains? It’s dangerous. In the subways it was really bad. There was no safety, there’s no safety switches in there that turn the power on and off at certain areas. So the guy who was in charge, the subway liaison person would call back to the central headquarters where the power comes for these rails. He would tell them we’re working on the tracks so don’t apply any power to these tracks. But as a safety precaution, he took a pipe and wrapped a bunch of chain around the track, the third rail. And if he turned the power on, and that thing explodes, get the hell out of the way from the third rail because it’s power on the track. That was the safety measure we had there. That was all. When you make a film, people are all over the tracks, the car, the thing in and out. I mean, it was difficult.

A few pictures from No Kings Chicago. In the last, you can barely see two people from a large wedding party, bride and groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen and so on. I only got two of them, and missed their sign: “It’s our wedding day and we want Trump held accountable!”

No I hope YOU'LL reconsider the value of the necessary and important work our journalists do to keep citizens informed. You hypocrites.

Email back from the Post, saying,
We’re sorry to see you go.
Hi Jeremy,

Your Washington Post Core Subscription has been canceled and your unlimited access will end on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

We hope you’ll reconsider the value of the necessary and important work our journalists do to keep citizens informed. Absolutely nothing has changed about that. In fact, it’s more important than ever.

I'll tell you, though, just a google image search on "moby dick theatre review" is a wealth of puppets and beards and ropes and dramatic lighting 🐋

There is a semi-legendary production from the 80s in Chicago, with William Petersen (CSI, TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA) as Ahab and Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) as Stubb. The program is here, but I can't find any reviews online. www.flickr.com/photos/alumi...

Uh I watched the trailer and there's a shot where someone is playing a cello underwater? Are they trying to speak Orca?

Now you got me curious. A super quick google seems to imply Melville knew about it and was into it. Plus he wrote this: poets.org/poem/fragmen...

Fragments of a Lost Gnostic Poem of the 12th Century

Herman Melville
1819 – 1891
* * * *

Found a family, build a state,

The pledged event is still the same:

Matter in end will never abate

His ancient brutal claim.

* * * *

Indolence is heaven’s ally here,

And energy the child of hell:

The Good Man pouring from his pitcher clear

But brims the poisoned well.

This poem is in the public domain.
