The Final Girls, 2015 - ★★★★

So fun

I beat the Mario RPG remake while cat sitting this past week. Lots of nostalgia for this one, and the updated graphics and sound were a fun way to reexperience it. 🕹️

I’ve been cat sitting Rocco this week. Here’s how it’s going. 🐈‍⬛

Got some doodling in today.

Two doodles on small pieces of paper. One is a skeleton prancing with some flowers around. The other is a whimsical bearded crazy hair face who’s smiling.

Taylor Tomlinson: Have It All, 2024 - ★★★

Another old gold hour shot. I don’t remember where this was taken.

Sabotage, 1936

More like sand-bo-tage

I’m thinking of being from the 1970s.

Follow up food shots from Sunday’s supper club.

We started with some fish in a really nice sauce. Don’t you wish I remembered anything more specific? Me too.

Then we had slice duck with grilled eggplant with a walnut and pecan sauce. That yellow Swiss cheese cracker looking dude is fried flower oil. Bonkers.

After that, we lightened it up with tamale, cheese, and pickled tomatillo with a unique salsa verde. Almost all the ingredients here are from pre-colonial Mexico.

Finally, we finished with a moist polenta cake with some sort of sweet, tangy jam and this light, sugary cracker cookie that I forget the name of.

Close up of a thick, brown cake, almost zuccini bread looking, with a dark red jam with a fruit that looks like strawberries but isn't. There's a half eaten cookie with some of the jam on it and sugar coating. All on a white plate.

The chefs gave wonderful explanation on each dish, and I can’t remember it. Thankfully, the pictures speak for themselves. All these shots were taken by my friend Jenny.

Total Recall, 1990

Watched on Monday September 23, 2024.

My Chef friend Kayla ran a supper club on our roof last night. Incredible food, and lovely company. No notes.

A group of people seated around a table on a rooftop under a cloudy sky, with one person standing and speaking. String lights decorate the scene, and city buildings are visible in the background.

A table holds a partially eaten cheese and crackers platter, surrounded by wine glasses and bottles. Guests stand in the background under a cloudy sky, with lights and flowers providing decoration.

The Substance, 2024 - ★★★★

This movie keeps going harder. But then? It goes even harder.

James Adomian - Path Of Most Resistance, 2024 - ★★★½

That was the only impression of Jerome Powell I've seen this year.

Playing with photo filters.

A photo of an abandoned Brooklyn street under an elevated highway. There is graffiti on the retraining wall on the left, and parked cars on the street. The image is stylized with filters to produce hightened reds and pinks, with jagged color stops.

Demolition Man, 1993 - ★½

"Jeffrey Dahmer? I love that guy!"

Largely a clumsy conservative power fantasy, Wesley Snipes still manages to be very entertaining.

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. 🍿

I spent last Sunday in Central Park with my friend Lindsay, playing with her medium format film camera. She taught me how to focus, the F-stop, the focal range, and even got to peak inside and see how the entirely mechanical apparatus worked. So satisfyingly tactile. Thanks Lindsay!
