Having a BRAT summer… a short-term, bland food diet that can help with digestive issues like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and food poisoning.

This ad cracks me up bc it looks like one of those YouTube thumbnails – “Rick Beato” or someone like that

This is where I post from (literally, I’m in #Guatemala!)

It’s a real bummer to see the MTV News archives taken down (and not just bc I had a few bylines in there); but even worse imo was when the CMJ archives went away, years back…

Another quality #Tubi discovery… intense stuff, but very well done. And it was the filmmaker’s debut! This guy clearly knows what he’s doing: filmsky 🎥

Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010)tubitv.com Held captive in a bizarre medical facility, a young woman with psychic abilities seeks a chance to escape her obsessed captor.

It’s totally coincidental I posted this, bc we’re watching the 2011 Muppets movie, and Selena Gomez (looking hella young!) just showed up in a cameo.

Only Mulders in the Building

Bluesky has replicated yet another Twitter experience: (a) notification of new follower; (b) it's a bot.

Two youngish ppl talking in elevator: Her: That's so funny! What's the lore behind that? Him: The what? Her: The lore. The LOOORRRRE Him: ? Her: You know, like, the backstory... (felt like a real #MakeFetchHappen moment)

TWIN PEAKS (2017) || Part 18 x Part 8. "This would look nice on your wall." 🧵 on this painting above the bed in P18's motel, & how it evokes specific desert imagery from P8...

Cab driver from the airport was listening to one of those Christian rock stations ("The Fish"). The songs are all kind of "fake," but it's interesting how clearly the singers enunciate every word...

Now THIS is a g-d one-sheet:

36 HOURS (1964) James Garner, Eva Marie Saint, Rod Taylor. Dir: George Seaton 5:15p ET (2:15p PT) Germans kidnap a key American intelligence officer and try to convince him that World War II is over. 1h 55m | Thriller

This guy has made some of the worst stuff, it’s amazing:

Lorenzo di Bonaventura - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

Not much to the shoestring production (until the climax), and the plot has some holes; but the dialogue and leads are exceptional. This is a good one!

ROADBLOCK (1951) Charles McGraw, Joan Dixon, Lowell Gilmore. Dir: Harold Daniels 4:30p ET (1:30p PT) An insurance investigator falls for a woman involved in a criminal scheme. 1h 13m | Crime

Proud to have recognized a (barely) preteen Eddie Kaye Thomas in an early-‘90s episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark?

I recently treated myself to the Blu-ray (which also has the 1934 film), but would watch this again if I had the time right now ⬇️⬇️

IMITATION OF LIFE (1959) Lana Turner, John Gavin, Sandra Dee. Dir: Douglas Sirk 5:45p ET (2:45p PT) A struggling actress and her African-American housekeeper face problems with their rebellious daughters. 2h 5m | Drama

This is very worth watching if you have climate on the 🧠.

As always, this live office hour session was recorded. I think quite a few folks would be interested in this (extended) discussion on the complex considerations that go into estimates of how much Earth will warm this century. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming youtube.com/watch?v=kh2M...

Weather and climate office hours by Weather West: 05/10/2024youtube.com The latest in a recurring series of live, virtual, & interactive "office hours" hosted by Dr. Daniel Swain on various topics related to extreme weather and climate. 05/10/2024 topic: Today, I'll have a conversation focused on a recent informal survey of climate scientists regarding their perceived likelihood of limiting global warming to certain target levels--including ways in which I agree and disagree with both the public discourse and even my own colleagues on this subject (and followed as usual by live Q&A). Please tune in!

I like big butts and I cannot lie. My friend here likes big butts and cannot tell the truth. You may ask us three questions.

I created a #Kubrick feed (for Stanley Kubrick lovahs)... let's see how it works!

I was so “itchy” for exercise that a brisk walk wouldn’t cut it; I went out for a jog, which I very rarely do anymore. Feels good!

I don’t like when a film’s main source of peril results from a bad decision by the protagonist (Ex.: “Wreck-It Ralph 2”).
