Put the needle on the record Put the needle on the record Put the needle on the record When the drumbeat goes like this

Whenever I watch a TV show or movie from before the 2000s, I am reminded that they knew how to light scenes properly back then. (They also knew how to record sound properly. I never have to strain to hear the dialogue over the music or sound effects.)

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY came out TODAY and I'm already seeing spoilers in the form of careless memes! Holy hell!

Last night, Alexa and I went to the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research to see the "Jews Are Magic" exhibit, about occult practices in Jewish life! While we were there, we noticed they also had a Jack Kirby exhibit! Check out the pics on my Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DbdpdeTkSW...

#FridayReads CULT CLASSIC by @johnhornor.bsky.social, a new novella he gave away at Camp Necon

This is a picture of Rachel Keller and Mike Colter in their new TV show CUPERTINO, but I'll be damned if they don't look exactly like how I pictured Laura and Booker in my Dr. Laura Powell series! (Booker was actually modeled after Mike Colter!)

"'The defendant's crime did not occur in a vacuum,' prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo. 'Instead, the defendant rammed his car into one of the most visible Jewish institutions in the world at a time and in a city where anti-Jewish crimes are surging.'"

I didn't love HOKUM as much as I hoped to. There's some good stuff in it, including some creepiness and the seeds of what could have been an interesting murder mystery, but something about the story just didn't grab me. I think Damian McCarthy's previous film, ODDITY, is still his best.

Watching BANG MY BOX: THE ROBIN BYRD STORY brought back a lot of memories of the early days of Manhattan Cable and Channel J. What's amazing is that even as a 70-year-old woman, Byrd's face and voice were instantly recognizable to me. (1/2)

My Eddie? Crazy.

Wow, everyone who told me OBSESSION was great was spot on! Creepy, disturbing, and darkly funny (the duct tape scene and the "on your left" scene both had me chuckling, if nervously), this movie makes Curry Barker a writer-director to watch. (1/2)

I'm glad for this. I don't want the government receiving a list of Jews from this or any other organization, no matter what their publicly stated reason was for demanding it. (1/2)

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains.

King Meow and Noodle lying down next to each other is cute enough, but the fact that their tails are touching makes it so adorable! 😻

The cashier at Trader Joe's was amused by my purchase of a single shallot.

THEY WILL KILL YOU is a lot of fun! It's exactly the kind of over-the-top "splatstick" I love! Big, big thumbs up!
