No matter where you go, there I am. (Wait, that sounds like a threat...)

@moviessilently.bsky.social I watched RECKLESS AGE last night and was happy to see the stunt of the car racing the train and crossing the tracks at the last minute. IIRC correctly Brownlow used that shot in the HOLLYWOOD episode on stunts. Was that the first time a stunt like that had been done?

Well, another year, another American team wins the Stanley Cup. At least my hometown of Sault Ste. Marie got some love from Paul Maurice.

Today, thanks to THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR, I learned that he did a 3 page story about Jack Ruby in the May 1967 ESQUIRE.

July 26 1946. Batman impersonates Superman for the first time. radioechoes.com?page=play_do...

Today I learned that in 1953 Peter Falk applied to join the CIA, but since it was at the height of McCarthyism he was turned down because he had once belonged to a union considered left-wing. #Columbo

Make a band less mild. Rolling Stones over People

RIP Françoise Hardy. Merci pour la musique.

Watching the EU elections and wondering if the post WW2 experiment in rejecting nationalism and ethnicity is over. The upcoming US and Canadian elections will be interesting to watch.

Thought I might have over paid for Guillermo del Toro's TRILOGIA and then I found out it's out of print. Feeling pretty good about it now.

Tell me you're old-fashioned without telling me you're old-fashioned. This reinterpretation of a 1951 Balenciega worn by #NicoleKidman is my favourite look so far at tonight's #MetGala.

Well, I was going to have a night of comics and hockey, but this Jets/Avs game is ridiculously fast and exciting. #GoJetsGo

Even more fun than watching the Toronto Maple Leafs lose is watching their fan base melt down over on the other place.

@tomewing.bsky.social I had the intention of reading your CEREBUS review a chapter per day, but I just couldn't stop. Bravo sir.

RIP Trina Robbins. The first verse if this Joni Mitchell song is about her. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ALtO...

@thepeterkelly.bsky.social Hey Peter, hope you haven't gone into the long boxes yet, but I picked up a copy if SPECTRE 2 today (and completed the John Paul Leon run of CHALLENGERS!). Thanks for the kind offer.😀

Joe Flaherty has died. I am currently watching SCTV Season 1 and his commentaries are delightful. RIP Sir and thanks for all the memories. Many a Friday night party in high school ended with the survivors watching Melonville's finest.

@hogansalley.bsky.social I have a question about the Fantagraphics KRAZY AND IGNATZ hardcovers. Are they the best reproductions out there or are there better ones?

@comicsinthega.bsky.social I have a question. I am considering picking up the Fantagraphics KRAZY AND IGNATZ books and was wondering if I should get them or if there are better versions out there.

Laurent de Brunhoff, the French artist who nurtured his father’s creation, a beloved elephant named Babar, for nearly seven decades — sending the character, among other places, into a haunted castle, to New York City and into outer space — died on Friday. He was 98.

Laurent de Brunhoff, Artist Who Made Babar Famous, Dies at 98www.nytimes.com After his father, who created the character, died, he continued the series of books about a modest elephant and his escapades in Paris for seven decades.

Picked these up today at 50% of retail. I've got to stop shopping.

Pretty happy to have picked this up today for $2.50.

Tonight's movie.

@kurtbusiek.bsky.social I was wondering if ASTRO CITY still has the death penalty. If death is less "the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns" and more "nice place wouldn't want to live there", could any trial prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a murder victim was really dead

@moviessilently.bsky.social Thought I'd pass this along for Eva and Dennis.

Oh, Gronk...

Tonight's movie:

Coming out on Criterion April 2024. Plus 4K LA HAINE and PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK. Would love to see Tarr's SATANTANGO get a release.
