Bluesky a band The Who?

Just watched Eddington. Knew it would be something, but was not prepared for it being a Freaky-Ass Something. Kinda terrifying. Absolutely brilliant.

One week til The Rouse. Goddamn, been waiting SO LONG for it. Happy I didn’t stumble into any ARCs for it. I wanna crack that hardcover spine, yo. That 1200+ page hardcover spine…

Never hit “Follow” so fast

Her love language is “I CAN’T HEAR YOU, I’M LISTENING TO A PODCAST.” My love language is not pressing it.

Hello @decassette.bsky.social. My friend got me Stages of Rot this last month — I’ve read her copy like four or five times, and I’m so goddamn moved that she got me my own copy. Of course you’ve heard this, but here it is again: your work is ecstatic — some of the best of any kind I’ve ever seen.

One thing that scares the bejeezus outta me: after the Trump reign, everyone immediately reverting to a 2013-level political headspace and pretending it didn’t happen. Nobody asks boomers if they voted for Nixon.

Hullo @joshuadysart.bsky.social, a while back, years now, you wrote a very nice response about the dunderheadedness of The Dark Knight Rises. Do you know if that still exists anywhere?

I'd buy that for a dollar.

People be talkin’ ‘bout RoPat in this new Hansen movie, but I’m over here chomping to see Skyler Gisondo. They are both in my top ten right now.

I don’t know how Jim Haggerty exists, but I can say that his being on Earth is the surest sign I’ve ever encountered of a greater good existing. Bless you, Haggerty, and bless you #onionelf

when someone asks me if i'm going to watch a christopher nolan movie

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Hi @marawilson.bsky.social… sorry for the super weird ask here, and double apologies if you’ve gone on record about it already, but as a DeVito and Williams colleague in your childhood past, do you have a take on the, imo, -masterpiece- that is Death to Smoochy?

Hello @moviessilently.bsky.social, quick question if you’re interested — I haven’t been with you long, but I’m curious what you think of Nanook. I’m also a huge fan of Gance and Napoleon was an inspiration — two different inquiries, but do you have any extended thoughts or misgivings?

Special ordered #3W3M at my LCS. They offered me a reorder for the banged up corner, and I’m like “What damage?” and ordered a few more… A bent spine is fine, a creased middle matters little, and the crinkled page is all the rage!

hey @bencollins.bsky.social, does any Onion sub money go to the Sandy Hook fams? I want to contribute more.

Pretty sad that most people I’ve ever talked to about it say MacGruber is good. It aint!! 150 seconds of funny material in a 90 minute film. Love you Forte, but this one shouldn’t’ve been made.

Continuing my Bad Idea trend of selfie-ing with new @joshuadysart.bsky.social issues — BANANA NO 1!

Not only did I nab Hab 2, I also was able got The Ends in trade, so it’s a Dysart/Lapham kinda day. @joshuadysart.bsky.social @davidlapham.bsky.social

What light cross yon skyscape breaks? Could it be that The Hab has made it to Seattle?? Can’t wait to get home, dry off, then see what @joshuadysart.bsky.social and team have to say about the world.

I luv jessie buckley with all my heart but don’t know which film I’d rather not see: Hamnet or The Bride

Truly, the only reason for even waking up today. @timheidecker.bsky.social @vfa-expert.bsky.social

Holy schmoly, just watched Tar and am a little miffed y’all didn’t tell me it is basically one of the greatest films of all time. Do better!

Is it the case that people think Trump still writes his own posts? Anecdotally, folks IRL get confused when I suggest he is incapable of the patience needed for syntax, grammar, spelling, coherence, etc. Like… it’s widely understood that he doesn’t write them, right?

...featuring a certain special someone with two thumbs as a guest!

So, Springsteen wrote a protest song that sounds EXACTLY like @timheidecker.bsky.social’s Piss Club Reunion:

Honestly unsure if there is a work of modern comedy more brilliant than the @rajatsuresh.bsky.social, @timheidecker.bsky.social, and Jeremy Levick Rogan riff. 70 minutes of inspired insipidness.

You know how there are canon masterpieces that “go without saying”? Like, why even say Citizen Kane? It’s a given! …I just realized one film I do that with is Alien (‘79) Every single thing about it locks in with effective and artful purpose. If a GOAT list must have a Ripley joint, let it be Alien!

One thing not talked about enough is how often Alt Text reads like an AI-image prompt. Something universally good and something universally bad being so nearly identical… a bit on-the-nose for my comfort.

Was nervous for the welfare of Jack and his Eurasian bride headed to Barbados on the Carib Cannibal next week, but it looks like the bombing focus has shifted. The patrons of Jive Miguel will dance tonite! #GlamourProfession

I know there are more rapturous final images of films that are more deserving… … but this one ALWAYS gets me, I love it, and you can’t take it from me.

Can you even -imagine- a world that still had Phil Hartman? All my respect for the difficulty of anyone’s personal loss, but can you imagine how brilliant he would have been, comically, in his 60s and 70s?

I just turned to three random pages of King/Gerads’s Adam Strange and each page bad a speech bubble saying “Oh Adam”… 🤔

Dick Jones, OCP, has just endorsed Andrew Cuomo

Ricky Verona has just endorsed Andrew Cuomo

Our modern comic godfather is @timheidecker.bsky.social Cannot think of anyone who can even presume to contend. I have watched “An Evening With…” so many times that my wife now expects to walk in on me watching it. The entirety of OCatC should be shot into space for alien cultures to know us by.

@vor-bokor.bsky.social, your’s is a perspective on art I look to. Do you have anything new to say in general about Jack Kirby and/or his modern successor Tom Scioli? TS isn’t doing explicit Kirby homage anymore, but his work carries the torch of bold, simple storytelling of fabulous elasticity…

Some major news publication really needs to run a front page article that aggregates all the recent Republican politicians busted for CSAM and other sex crimes. The constant trickle of these stories does not hit home the pathology — that pipe needs to burst.

Today on youtube, I watched Norbit “with ads” and there was not a single ad break. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky.

Just watched Norbit cuz I heard Brian Wilson liked it. This is the face of a guy that just watched Norbit

Is it safe to say that DV's Dune films have already been memory-holed? It feels less a circumstance of their quality and more of the times, but I cannot for the life of me imagine that anyone will remember them better than Lynch's film, or even the books. The second film was practically an illusion.

@christophermitten.bsky.social Hi, fan here from Wasteland, segued to the sadly truncated Umbral, seen you here and there now... I -love- your art. One of my precepts about good art is that you can feel it being created as you observe it. Your illustration does that in spades. Hope to see more.
