Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

#LetterboxdFriday #Last4Watched A stellar documentary, one of Valentino's last films, a restored version of the Kenrussellest Ken Russell film ever, and a stiff Shakespeare movie livened up by Brando.

My second visit to @lucasmuseum.bsky.social was much better than the first. Parking is more organized, and the HVAC was working properly. We spent a ton of time in the Norman Rockwell section, and actually made it outside between rain bursts.

My classes are designing cereal boxes. Some of my students don't draw, so I used my own head to show them how they can use a reference image to make a mascot. I started with an over-detailed image, then a simpler one, then an exaggerated, even simpler version. Hope it keeps them from using AI slop!

Tomorrow I get two new airport adventures. I've always flown into Oakland when I go to the Bay Area, but tomorrow is my first visit to SFO. But the actually "new" airport adventure is Burbank's new terminal. I've always loved flying out of Burbank. Hope they didn't screw it up!

And yeah, I know it's now "The Hollywood Burbank Airport" but that has a real "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" feel.

This has to be intentional.

WOW! The Master in #ManosTheHandsofFate has a cameo in the new #ExorcistMartyrs trailer! #MST3K I wonder if #Torgo is also a guest star? The Exorcist: Martyrs | Official Trailer youtu.be/iIEYfH-jg1Y?... Manos The Hands of Fate: youtu.be/C71Oj68sN5M?... See less

They don't make records like this any more. #photoshop #records #albums #jerrylewis

I think it's always a great plan to merge two famous companies and discard their names for a third, far less known name.

A short featuring @vicmmic.bsky.social, two okay movies with strong lead performances, and a film that asks "what if a sci-fi movie was mostly a shot of a screen showing stock footage?" #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 📲

Well, I guess this COVID booster is doing something. Currently rocking a fever and upset stomach. WORTH IT.

dingus malingus makes some good points, though

The best videos you can watch on youtube have titles like "Claire makes a pumpkin loaf step-by-step" and the worst videos you can watch on youtube have titles like "dingus malingus ranks the sight and sound top 250"

Nothing encourages learning more than creepy smooth-faced monster versions of historical figures talking at students.

This post is unavailable.

I would not complain if every #monsterdon had a movie like Night of the Comet. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Strange thing I thought today: "This movie theater is too hot. I'm going to go to the gym, where I'll be more comfortable."

I feel like @jessethorn.bsky.social might be interested in this.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

They must have sold most of them in the southeast San Fernando Valley. I see tons of these things, often with custom wraps so I know it's not multiple sightings of the same one.

According to Forbes, the Tesla Cyber Truck has surpassed the Edsel as the worst selling vehicle in history.

I saw the new MST3K RiffTrax Experiment, Sting of Death, tonight. Like a very pleasant family reunion. Also: Up is my favorite direction.

I was supposed to see a bunch of comedians including @pattonoswalt.bsky.social at a tiny show tonight, and I had to pick up my brother from the airport instead. I hope Patton had the decency to refuse to perform to show his support for me in this difficult time.
