• The Midnight Sky is deeply flawed, but I liked its pacing and somber tone. Would’ve spent another hour in that world – hoping it would improve, but not really minding that it probably wouldn’t’ve.

  • I never start listening to Christmas music early enough. It’s Christmas Eve. I’ve only listened a few times. 🥴🎄

  • Another advantage of catching up on podcasts: I can listen to Christmas music.

    Currently playing: Ella’s version of “Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!”

  • Road House (1948) is pretty decent, even without Patrick Swayze. Lupino was fantastic.

  • Thinking about watching all the Marvel movies, which I’ve largely avoided. Rewatching the first Iron Man. It’s… really long.

  • The Bigamist is absolutely fascinating. 🍿

  • Shadow of a Doubt is perfect. And I say that without a shadow of a doubt.

    🍿🎥

  • I’d be lost without a sense of direction.

  • I never believe signatures in movies. Each time they’re shown, they look like they were farted off rather than developed over a lifetime. So they break the movie’s spell.

    If the whole signature here was built out of the materials in the final E, we’d finally have one I buy. 🍿

  • One great thing about movies from the ‘40s is you get to see really vigorous handshakes. Like there was a contest to see who could rip off whose arm first.

  • Best corrected misspelling of today: Bard Pitt.

  • After watching The Program (2015) and The Program (1993), both disappointing, I decided to rewatch the absolutely perfect Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.

  • Stairs.

  • Taken at the future home of the Jade Ore Museum, apparently.

  • Running my first-ever (I think) Automator workflow. Converting 145 HEIC images to PNGs.

    About halfway thru, wildly successful.

  • I fucking love The Rewatchables. 🎙🍿

  • The no-likes feature should be rethought. It would be nice to show appreciation for a thing without having to comment. Having likes but keeping them private would serve the same no-dick-measuring ends. (I’m generally quiet and don’t have much that’s untrite to say about things.)

  • The more I think about Mank, the less I like it. I’ll watch it again in the new year (because Fincher) and see if it works better for me on a second viewing.

  • A lady in white.

  • Saw Mank.

    Gonna take more time to digest. And at least another viewing.

    🍿

  • The only donut that matters (here). The glazed old fashioned, from Mister Donut.

    I ate this. (I bought one for tomorrow, too….)

  • Zodiac is one of the most unsettling movies I’ve ever seen. It’s great. It’s not an enjoyable watch – or rewatch.

    🍿

  • Adrian Tomine’s work is always incredible.

  • The fuckin’ Depahted, dude.

    🍿

  • They pulled off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man.
