October Cover Challenge #octobercoverchallenge #comicsky Day 19: Devil Worship or Cult Gathering

My cat has developed this wonderful habit of joining me downstairs while I watch horror movies and staring at the wall without moving for 40 minutes-thanks buddy, needed that 😱 #princeofdarkness #horrorsky

Scum of the Earth will no longer be opening for Ed Sheeran.

Happy “Tommy LaSorda got Youppi Tossed from the Game” day to all who observe it ⚾️

One of Mater’s earliest roles as Truck #2 in William Friedkins 1977 masterpiece “Sorcerer” #criterion

Did Alex Ross foresee the coming of Erling Haaland by more than a decade? #norway #haaland #doomsday

Mexico’s 2 goals through the first 30 were both outstanding ⚽️🇲🇽⚽️

It’s #BladeRunner day but what version is best to mark the occasion? Without digging too deep I know I have at least three different copies lying around and as far as I’m concerned Deckard isn’t a replicant in any of them.

It’s my birthday,I’ve had a couple pops, and really wanna know why John Turturro doesn’t already have Oscars for Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink, and a Quiz Show !?!? #TCM Do something, do nothing or #DoTheRightThing

BREAKING: GARVIS have pulled out of Freedom 250.

Listening to this - great insight and I’ve found it so easy to switch you know who’s name for Trumps during descriptions of his approach to governance, economics, speaking style, and how his taste in the arts and architecture come firmly from the ass.

I can’t believe we almost missed #WorldDraculaDay

Is there a designated survivor parked away somewhere while this shitshow is happening? You know, just in case 🤞 #WHCA

Blows my mind how little I see about how freakin’ awesome Zahn McClarnon has been in 4 seasons of Dark Winds - one of the best performances of the decade. #darkwinds #leaphorn

Jackie Robinson Day is one of the best things #mlb have ever done and I love that all players wear #42 as a tribute to an exemplary man. A few years ago my first ever published story was a semi-fictional look at his time in Montreal. wordofyears.home.blog/2019/04/16/l...

I didn’t think it was possible to like this guy any more but then he shares this essay about his life in baseball. And apparently if you need a place to crash in Toronto you go to Davis Schneider’s pad. #bluejays #openingday #mlb www.theplayerstribune.com/ernie-clemen...

As a Jays fan I think we’ve had some great broadcasters over the years so I’m biased but the Netflix team of Vasgersian, Sabathia and Pence aren’t bad. #mlb #openingday #jays

Has there ever been one iota of evidence of the brilliant leadership and incisive tactical mind that every cabinet official claims is steering the mighty ship of state. He’s a means to an end for the worst people and absolutely the dumbest motherfucker in any room he inhabits. #25th

DVR Cleanup - Odd Man Out (1947) Love a good heist/robbery goes wrong movie with an on the run component as James Mason is wounded in a fundraising robbery for “the organization” in Belfast. The chases through the backstreets and alleys are like a warm up for The Third Man a year later. #filmsky

The trouble with some sites is scrolling too quickly-at first glance, I thought Mr Shits-a-lot was referring to the cat which was actually the post below but nonetheless is a perfect cat name 🐱 #catsofbluesky #whiskerwednesday

DVR Cleanup Day #5 Narrow Margin-Great little noir that does its job in 71 minutes with little fuss and zingy dialogue. And Marie Windsor - wow! Easy to see why she was cast in roles where men lied, cheated, robbed, and killed for her. “A bucket of coffee and some cigarettes. I’m famished.” #filmsky

DVR Cleanup Day #4 My Favorite Year Acting from the cast was a bit broad which fits for a movie about 1950s comedy/variety television but Peter O’Toole is having a blast as a washed up B movie swashbuckling movie star. “So is this ma’am but I occasionally have to run a little water through it.” #TCM

DVR Cleanup Day 4 - comedy doubleheader with The Fortune Cookie up first. Hard to think of an actor as versatile as Jack Lemmon who can move between comedy and drama so effortlessly-Tom Hanks must have been taking notes. And Matthau’s shady shyster is so much fun. #TCM

DVR Cleanup Day #3 - Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) - Richard Harris is a delight, Trevor Howard deserved an Oscar nom for the unyielding take on Bligh, production values and photography are amazing and Marlon Brando makes a ton of interesting choices but his charisma is off the charts. #TCM #movies

Watching Michael B Jordan win may have been the first time I spontaneously applauded at home for an Oscar. #OSCARS

One Battle After Another, Sinners and Frankenstein are proof of how lucky we are to have 3 visionaries to entertain and challenge us, but Train Dreams will be staying with me a long time-Joel Edgerton should have been nominated. #OSCARS

DVR cleanup night #2 - Devil in a Blue Dress - love a neo-noir subversion as Easy is just looking to get by when hired to find a missing dame. Tom Sizemore was on quite the run during this era and Don Cheadle was gracious enough to wait an hour before showing up and stealing Denzel’s movie 🐭

Have to clear my DVR in a month for a cable company update-first up is The Train. Frankenheimer in the 60s is on top of his game and Burt Lancaster in this era-from Elmer Gantry to The Swimmer-is a powerhouse performer. #TCM

Not as prescient as some of the more grim looks into the future like Strange Days or Children of Men but damn if Demolition Man didn’t make a few good calls on the world of today. #DemolitionMan

Letterman in the 80s was the only place to find guests like this on the same show. The previous night likely had Brokaw and Brother Theodore and the following night would feature Albert Finney, Dan Marino and Husker Du. #letterman #latenight

Toshiro Mifune

Fuck the Dodgers

#whiskerswednesday

I genuinely love Tom Atkins performance as the most inappropriate doctor of all time in Halloween III which has become a “I can’t turn this off” movie for me. Yes, that’s a doctor. #scaryseason #HalloweenIII

#REMtop30 So. Central Rain - Reckoning I’d read more about REM and not heard a note until American Bandstand of all places played this video on an early June Saturday afternoon. 45 minutes later the album was in my hands and I spent the rest of the day listening. m.youtube.com/watch?v=msWi...

#REMtop30 Sweetness Follows-Automatic for the People The most direct, heartfelt, deep, sorrowful and beautiful song they’ve recorded. The reverb and feedback on the guitar, the cello cutting through and Stipe’s voice delivers every emotion. Joy and wonder indeed. m.youtube.com/watch?v=p7aH...

If Alejandro Kirk isn’t one of your favourite players you’re doing baseball wrong ⚾️ #Bluejays

#REMtop30 Drive - Automatic for the People Automatic IMO is start to finish their best album as it just sounds so of one piece and the opener conveys the confidence the band brings to the album and the strings working with the guitar is just perfection. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-UE7...

#REMtop30 Find the River - Automatic for the People Whatever journey their albums take, they seem to try to end on a positive note and this song nails that. “We’re closer now than light years to go” may be my favourite line ever. m.youtube.com/watch?v=KIJG...

#REMtop30 Nightswimming -Automatic for the People There’s nothing on this album that doesn’t work perfectly in and out of context. But for my ears the next four songs go places that most music doesn’t approach and captures a feeling or a mood in both lyric and music. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ahJ6...

#REMtop30 Pretty Persuasion-Reckoning My last few choices come from the two albums I consider their best and my favourite. Reckoning is so murky and atmospheric but then this cuts through and shows off their punk and rock cred too. m.youtube.com/watch?v=T6mD...

#REMtop30 Radio Free Europe - Murmur The song that brought them to everyone’s attention (although not mine as I only saw the name in print with no outlet to hear something this new). Grown to really like the Jacknife Lee mix. Video with bonus history lesson. m.youtube.com/watch?v=f_rs...

Remembering the three days we thought he was dead with great nostalgia and longing. Could almost envision the state funeral on the 9th hole of the course where he won so many club championships and The Death of Stalin antics that would have followed.

The pay phone down the hall must have been raptured earlier today and is helping Jesus make some calls as long as he has exact change. #TheRapture

#REMtop30 Time After Time (Annelise) - Reckoning I love how this song sounds like it could break apart at any moment with its chugging rhythm and tentative nature - a fragile song that gradually becomes cohesive and confident over 4 minutes. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd3a...

Making an old school mix tape for a friend’s birthday and starting it off with a Dwight Twilley track that I know she’ll dig 🎶 m.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ6C...

#REMtop30 Orange Crush - Green In the fall of 88 I was starting college and had been on board with the band since 84. I distinctly remember listens to the rock station teasing the new REM and was halfway through the song before it hit me it was them. m.youtube.com/watch?v=_mSm...
