Profane Wisdom

Seems fitting that Mr & Mrs Grimm Reaper posting top scores on Metallica

Put the new-to-me Leica through its’ paces last tonight in Woodstock at the #MaryGauthier concert. Really pleased with the results and she & Jaimee were amazing, as always.

My mom taking me to a midnight screening of Rocky Horror in Georgetown when I was 10 years old in the early 80s remains a top cinematic experience in my life. Decades later, I was thrilled to screen it at my own theatre. Tim Curry was one of the most delicious actors of his era. Fair winds, Tim.

Nothing makes me happier than an epic character introduction in a movie. Michael Keaton’s entrance as Bill Blazejowski in Ron Howard’s ‘Night Shift’ remains one for the ages.

Why is it not a bigger pop culture discussion point that Ted Danson & Leslie Nielsen starred together in one of the Creepshow horror sketches?

I crack myself up. That is all.

Wardrobe Polaroid of John Leguizamo I took for the ‘94 pilot of House of Buggin’. I might be biased, but he was the best part of the Odyssey, IMO.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains. #IYKYK #mcsolaar

Happy to see @pinballmap.com getting some love out there: www.fastcompany.com/91561640/whe...

My one experience as a background extra was in a scene with #samneill and Meryl Streep in “A Cry in the Dark”. Sam was lovely and thanked all of us chilly teenagers for our patience during a cold long night in Central Australia.

The inevitable #vozinha biopic is going to be awesome. Last night’s match was the best I’ve watched since I started paying attention to the WC in ‘98. I do hope the filmmakers call it “Little Granny”. It’s the perfect origin story for a superhero. goalscorner.com/blogs/player...

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE :)

Enjoyable night in Rhinebeck tonight at Upstate Films, w Griffin Dunne interviewing Paul Rudd after a screening of #powerballad :)

Baby If you’ve ever wondered Wondered whatever became of me I’m living on the air In Cincinnati Cincinnati #WKRP

Btw #Hilo & now the #Catskills, I’ve endured more rain in 2026 than any human should be reasonably expected to have to. Sigh.

Aloha Oe, Hilo. Stay weird, my friend.

Share an iconic horror film shot. Seriously. This scene in #thechangeling has freaked me out for decades… #georgecscott

It snowed once on Easter when I was kid living in the Denver suburbs back in the ‘70s. Some local wag fashioned a giant bunny foot out of plywood and went around the neighborhood making Easter Bunny tracks :) Fifty years later, I still smile about it. Well played, mysterious stranger.

My wife and I had a private audience with Jonathan the Tortoise back in 2023. That double-centenarian was randy AF. Not surprised to hear the news of his death was a hoax. He’s got plenty left in the tank…

Too cool not to share. Today, my wife saw an adult #whale teaching a juvenile how to slap its tail just a little ways off shore. Filmed on the #bigisland #hawaii south of #hilo

I think this is one of the most underrated lines in the entire #tedlasso series. #roykent

This.

Still one of the best montages of the last 30-40 years. #officespace

Yes. I legit did the #skeleton at #lakeplacid on my 53rd birthday. It was awesome. (You can buy runs as a civilian on certain days of the winter) #olympics

Truth. #drseuss

Dad will be devastated. Sonny was one of his heroes. I went to school w Sonny’s kid but failed to tell dad. Sonny held the door for him @ parent’s night my dad fanboyed, then came home, woke me up & cursed me out for not telling him the Jurgensens went there. #HTTR www.hogshaven.com/general/4005...

WaPo was part of my NoVA childhood in 70s/80s. My grandf worked their presses. Took him 15 min nightly scrubbing w Lava soap getting ink off his hands. Only grade school ed. but read every word in every issue and was world knowledgeable as anyone. So sad to witness the ruination of it.

Jussi Vatanen is a Finnish national treasure. I’ll see anything he’s in. (As long as there are subtitles. #finnish is impenetrable to understand)

I love that Richard Linklater includes #pinball machines in most of his films. I will be the film/pinball #nerd here however to point out Gottlieb’s Swing-Along came out in 1963… 3 years *after* Breathless.

Stumbled on this sculpture in a men’s room in Lucas, Kansas. Felt like it would make a fun album cover.

One wonders how many Oscars Julian Dennison may eventually win. He is already an extraordinary, world-class talent at 23. The rest of the world will eventually figure it out.

“I go for a look I call ‘dead but delicious’” Re-watched the original 2014 #whatwedointheshadows movie yesterday and was immediately reminded of its’ brilliance.

#truestory I once saw Michael Moore interview O.J. Simpson. After his acquittal. Live. In front of a studio audience. For Fox Television. It happened. Google it. I’ve seen some crazy things, but this is near the top of that list.

#hilo living. Not sure its’ actual sex, but we’ve been calling him Boris and look for it every night.

#markhamill pulled a similar gag back in 1997 in NYC walking past the 1000s lined up to see the re-release of Star Wars at the Ziegfeld and periodically asking people what the line was for.
