Really nice cinematography, doing wide shots and camera moves that you don’t always see in the human scenes. Also, two caterpillars kick Godzilla's ass with webbing.

In this one, it’s pretty racist.

In this one, the psychic gets turned into a flower monster, and a man in a hard hat gets bonked with a big bonk sound.

I just received my digital copy of Scholarly Pursuits collected by Robin S. Blackwood. I’ll probably wait to read it until I receive my physical copy in the mail. Very excited! 📚

A fun romp through the history of art theft at the metropolitan museum of art. 🎨

When the sculpture was taken from the museum, it had a small heart-shaped mark above its left eye. When it was returned, it had a new matching heart-shaped mark above its right eye.

Gentle reminder that Black Sabbath’s Sabotage album cover was itself the victim of sabotage.

The designers “carried on with the shoot, explaining they would superimpose the images at a later stage and that it would look great, to be honest. The session was unbelievably rushed, and the outcome was far from what had been originally envisaged.”

Those were their street clothes. 🎵 🤘

I’ve been listening to Something To Consume by Die Spitz. Heavy, young band with tons of energy and solid songs. Caught on to them after being recommended their KEXP performance. The vibe between the gals is so infectious and genuine. 🎵

Ahhhh, we have a good Mayer!!! 🇺🇸 🌆

I saw Aunty Donna at The Beacon last night. An incredible fever dream show. They pulled off the hat trick of having an incredibly tight show, while feeling loose and comfortable. Extremely confident. There was plenty of moments of genuine surprise and improvisation from the cast. Wonderful to see, and of course, hilarious.

Sally Hawkins is so, so good. She gives the biggest feel bad toxic positivity performance I've maybe ever seen, and somehow you're still sort of rooting for her. Also, features one of the gnarliest gore scenes that had my roommates and I crawling up the couch. A+.

Finally got around to seeing this. Wha a romp. Beat window smashing in recent memory.

Local Astoria politics: Tiffany Cabán’s legislative proposal to Curb Deadly NYPD Car Chases is a no brainer. As someone who lives in the neighborhood and has been to the community meetings, these chases are awful. No one needs to die because someone else committed a nonviolent crime. The police should be held accountable. 🇺🇸🏙️

What a great modern horror movie.

Happy Halloween 🎃

I voted early today, and got myself that sweet sweet Halloween sticker, along with supporting a mayor I’m actually excited about. Let’s go Mamdani! 🌇🇺🇸

Ali Alkhatib: Defining AI.

I think we should shed the idea that AI is a technological artifact with political features and recognize it as a political artifact through and through. AI is an ideological project to shift authority and autonomy away from individuals, towards centralized structures of power.

I tend to agree—what else could be so valuable to all these billionaires that would be worth sinking unprecedented amounts of cash into with no clear path to profitability? 💽

As if you needed another reason to not take a yellow cab. Taxi TV Is MAGA Now. 🇺🇸

This movie happened.

I was lucky enough to see The Best Show’s live 25th anniversary show in Brooklyn last week. Amazing to see Tom firing on all cylinders, all the big Wurster characters, Mike’s corner, and just feel the weight of all that history. Oh, and it was non-stop funny.

Astoria loves Lions.

A neighborhood flower.

I saw John Carpenter at the knockdown center last night. Really fun show, and we were on the street before 10:30pm! ❤️🎵👴

I took a photo I only kind of liked. Something was missing. Turns out? Mirror.
