I used Letterboxd besties to find everyone with my same listed favorite movies. No one had the exact same, four or any of the same three. ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฆ„

Me, a white man, years ago. I have messy hair, thin stubble, and a tired, sunken expression. I hold a film clapper. You can make out that it reads "Ghost house Shit house scene 2E take 1"

One time, in the far distant past, I used to both have hair and make movies. I loved every minute of both. ๐Ÿฟ

I don’t have the words to describe how beautifully deranged Tokyo Gore Police is. High blood pressure romp that doesn’t give you time to keep guessing. ๐Ÿฟ

Showed a double feature of Godzilla Minus One and Godzilla: Final Wars on the roof the other day. We had 25 people up there! Roofzilla lives. ๐Ÿฟ

I’ve seen 50 First Dates but not Buffy The Vampire Slayer. This message brought to you by “Random Movie Neuron Firings” ๐Ÿฟ

Media Diet: July 2024

Yes, August is almost over, but I haven’t collected my thoughts on July yet, so take my hand and travel back in time to the distant lands of about a month ago. Most of the stuff I see is old โ€ฆ Read more

Since moving in with my roommates, we’ve watched a lot of movies together. They are almost exclusively horror. I’m not mad. ๐Ÿฟ

Media Diet: Mayโ€“June 2024

I went another two months without writing a media diet! These posts are way too important to ignore for that long, so let’s get into the crap I took in. But before that, look at this ๐Ÿ‘‡ Table of โ€ฆ Read more

Monkey Man was brutal action fun. Big ups to the trans community training Dev Patel how to kick the corrupt cop’s ass. ๐Ÿฟ

Did I watch Friday the 13th Part 6 and 7 last night? Yes, yes I did. Do the teenagers behave like humans? No, they do not. But they do behave like Friday characters, so that’s consistent. ๐Ÿฟ

Media Diet: Februaryโ€“April 2024

It’s been a while since my last media diet postโ€”three months, I was horrified to learn. There’s a lot to get through, so I’m taking a whirlwind tour on this one. There’s no โ€ฆ Read more

I watched half of the Red Hot Cheetos movie the other night. It is not good, but I was entertained, but I shut it off. Make of that what you will. ๐Ÿฟ

Media Diet - January 2024

My January has been monopolized by moving into an apartment and traveling to California for work and to see friends and family. In between all that, here’s what I was watching, reading, and โ€ฆ Read more

Iโ€™m missing Godzilla Minus One Minus Color, but then again dogs permenantly suffer from the reverse so I think Iโ€™m doing okay. ๐Ÿฟ

Media diet - December 2023

It’s the last day of December, and this is my last opportunity to ramble about what I’ve been watching, reading, and listening to. You ready? I’m not. Let’s go. ๐Ÿ“บ TV I watched โ€ฆ Read more

๐Ÿฟ My year in film stats, via Letterboxd. Do I stand behind all my star ratings? No. Will I revise them? Absolutely not. Most interesting takeaway? Only a quarter of the 93 movies I watched were released in 2023.

I went to a Die Hard watch party the other night with mostly folks I didn’t Know in Houston. One person out of maybe twelve hadn’t seen it. Very fun time. ๐Ÿฟ

Media diet - November 2023

As December rolls in, I’ve been spending some time reflecting. There’s a lot on my mind, but for now, here’s the media I’ve been experiencing over November. Movies Killers of โ€ฆ Read more

I saw No Hard Feelings last night. Fun, formulaic, funny moments, and as always Jennifer Lawrence is endlessly charming. ๐Ÿฟ

My friend Jon gifted me the classics. ๐Ÿฟ

The Years of My Movie Watch List

I did a little analysis of my Letterboxd watch list, to see if there were any interesting patterns. Since the data export only includes the date I added it to the list, the title of the movie, and the โ€ฆ Read more

I just learned that I’ve seen 17 Cate Blanchett movies, which is 18% of the amount of films she’s made. I don’t know what to do with that, but there it is. ๐Ÿฟ

I saw Cocaine Bear last week in theaters, and it was joyous, grind-house, B-movie fun. I see so many reviews miss the point: it’s not Citizen Kane, it’s Citizen Toxie. ๐Ÿฟ

The Alamo 100

Alamo Drafthouse put out a list of 100 movies they’d want on a desert island back in 2020. Sourced from all their creative directors across the country. I thought it was an interesting place to โ€ฆ Read more
