If I were a cop, I’d be losing my gun all the time. Just leave it at restaurants and stuff. The Captain would take me to a revival screening of Stray Dog to teach me a lesson. We’d spend the whole movie making out instead.

the new middlebrow podcast with @mcmansionhell is very enjoyable. many of the points raised feel salient to menswear — deskilling in the trades, rise of bad taste because an uneducated customer goes wild with options, poptimism vs cultural criticism, etc IG middlebrowpod

🔥@GrahamForMaine on his interaction with NY Times reporters about "working class." "It's everybody who isn't making their money on an immense amount of wealth...all of us don't own anything & a couple people own damn near everything...Fuck off."

So you can you not say pornography on here?

These "restorations" are training a generation of movie watchers to become desensitized to light, shade, and mystery. The human eye likes to work. The human eye likes dimension. The human eye likes mystery. Stop making everything so clean and clear.

@colebrax That would have been amazing. Sorry for your loss, James. I've been going through and listening any ones I've missed. Just did The Man Who Would Be King episode which was so moving.

@EdwardMLeer I wish we had recorded a Part II to this episode. Tony knew more about Fellini than anyone else alive.

If you've listened to as many episodes of Tony on Wrong Reel as I have, you see how truly passionate and knowledgeable he was about such a wide range of film and all culture. And it wasn't just data. He had articulate opinions and would go on beautiful rants about works of art.

Tristesse d'apprendre la disparition de @studiotstella, grand artiste illustrateur qui a souvent oeuvré sur les films de Jean-Pierre Melville.

Long live Tony Stella.

Tony once surprised me with a wonderful gift during a dark time: the artwork he designed for the SORCERER vinyl soundtrack, in poster form. Per Tony: “Only a few exist. I have one. Friedkin has one. And now you have one.”

American millionaire/big game hunter, Ernie Dosio, died a few days ago while hunting elephants in Central Africa. One elephant had enough and chased him down and trampled him to death.

the CATO Institute.. a libertarian think tank funded by the Koch brothers.. just published a study showing immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits every single year from 1994 to 2023.. not a left-wing university.. not a Democratic PAC.. the Koch brothers' own research institute.. they reduced the deficit by $14.5 trillion over 30 years.. they earn less per hour but work at higher rates.. which means higher per capita income.. which means higher taxes paid.. the country spent 30 years being told immigrants were draining the system.. turns out they were funding it.. and the people who told you that knew the numbers the whole time

I did it was called TNT's MonsterVision, and it came on every Saturday at 3pm. Kids today have really lost out on watching niche and older films in the age of streaming.
