For @LAReviewofBooks I wrote about William H. Gass's The Tunnel, one of the great American novels. I worked very hard on this. Thank you to Annie! lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

The Fascism of the Heart | Los Angeles Review of Books

William H. Gass’s newly reissued classic is a challenging, esoteric, vulgar trip through the mental crannies of its author.

So many Simpsons and Futurama episodes make me cry.

If you're not critical of the writing you read, you aren't reading: you're killing time.

Adam Nayman's review of You Can See Everything has some really good sentences.

Toxic AND performance? In this economy?
Dr. Zuzu (Digging to Avatar 4)@ZuzuOnFireOct 25
I hate Letterboxd. I will always hate Letterboxd. It's a toxic, performative place, full of tryhards and idiots. Your reviews aren't good. They aren't funny or wise. You are not erudite enough to articulate your written thoughts on a movie in a way that adds ANY public value.

Every day I get tweets my mutuals reply to by people who blocked me, mostly movie people, whom I've never heard of.

i hope they both rot in hell dressing up as an abuser and victim this is so STUPID DID THEY EVEN WATCH THE MOVIE.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Bear and Nikki are fictional characters, not real people. 'Obsession' is a movie telling a fictional story involving magic. Michael Johnston is not an abuser and Inde Navarrette is not an abuse victim. imdb.com/title/tt372873… imdb.com/name/nm5076257… imdb.com/name/nm9984699…

Looking for a horror recommendation? I wrote about Tobe Hooper's great Salem's Lot a couple years ago. brightwalldarkroom.com/2024/…

Salem's Lot (1979) | Death in a Small Town On the Small Screen

Salem's Lot might be Hooper's best-directed work, stylistically diverse and coherent, both intimate and grand.

Amanda Seyfried is so cool. Great actress. She's in Twin Peaks: The Return. Total babe. And had the sense to not waste her time on superhero movies.

Really frustrating how people who "love movies" are so adamant about not watching non-blockbusters. Ferrara is absolutely beloved by everyone I know who watches movies. No one is "pretending." They just have good taste.

Time for the internet to pretend like they know who the fuck Abel Ferrara is and not Zack Snyder

J0e Russ0 is the most annoying guy on here and a bad filmmaker. Whenever anyone disagrees with his awful opinions, he just responds with a gif or some dumb condescending non-rebuttal.

He very clearly did it on purpose. This is an old trick us hitters use to have the option to swing and to also not get called a strike. Veteran umpire, James Hoye was savvy enough to not let him get away with it.

Swing or no swing? Did Yandy Diaz go around on the final out of Game 2?
