New one from me up at @mrbullbull.bsky.social part 2 of my “Useless Idiots” cycle.

Clint preferred showing over telling, the width of his shoulders, the location of his feet, his steady even reps, balanced sets that worked each muscle group. Clint was a specimen of physical human potential. We all had something to learn. @jthomasmurphy.bsky.social mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...

Things are bad but taking comfort in the small thing like when my cat looks like a potato.

the nine words every girl wants to hear

a new book by Thomas Pynchon is now available.

Stan Lee Kubrick @jthomasmurphy.bsky.social · 14d

One Battle After Another is really making me rethink this huh. I’m really going to read this book again just to see if I was wrong.

I think Vineland is my least favorite Pynchon book? Followed by Bleeding Edge. Something about the Reagan Era that presents an Event Horizon over which TP just can’t cross.

Great Point and really underlines how Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson really screwed the pooch in ”Dune 7”.

everything eventually becomes either crabs or fascism, sorry I don’t make the rules.

the black case made me think I missed a Scream Factory announcement...

the only way to put a stop to the terminal death cult-adjacent obsession with nostalgia we’re facing in this country is to feed a steady supply of ibogaine into the water supply. cadres of trained shamans can be sent out into the countryside to guide us back to fucking reality.

He would have made a better president than that old rascal Nixon, that’s my take

Saw a bumper sticker in New Hampshire that just said “HH!” I’m sure they’re just celebrating former VP and failed Democratic Presidential nominee Hubert Humphrey. Very wholesome!

I don’t care about your Paul Thomas Anderson rankings, give me your Paul WS Anderson rankings.

I’ve known about GWAR for ages but never really listened to them and…this shit rules.

i love apartments. i love renting a room that smells like cigarettes for my entire life.

Telling That Which is I Am, “If she’s not going then I’m not going” and watching as a Biblically-accurate angel fumbles around a library doing the exegesis on whether or not cats can be accepted into the Host.

Let me know if you are expecting to get raptured so I can feed your cats.

I guess it's kind of fitting, rather than anyone standing for anything a bunch of corporate algorithms will just crunch the numbers and figure out what's the most lucrative set of values to pursue

Core memory of my art teacher showing us this in middle school (?) to kill time one day before a break (I guess they had a Liquid TV tape they rented???) and my friend went home and told his mom we watched porn in school and everyone got in trouble.

cancelling your hulu subscription every six months doesn’t seem like a viable way to run a country but idk.

Stan Lee Kubrick @jthomasmurphy.bsky.social · 26d

really amazing things happening on youtube right now.

youtube.com. a carousel of video thumbnails: “Civilzation #END: the Decline and Fall of the American Empire”; “This Will Show up When You’re About to WIN”; “everybody is a total mess (and you should be one too)”. It goes without saying but, [sic] throughout.

Inland Empire is a found footage horror movie.

Can I offer some unsolicited advice. A certain gunshot victim this week was a scummy racketeer felled by another gangster from his sleazy milieu, a common enough occurrence. But like every underworld, there are a lot of people invested in sanitizing it. Don't bother arguing with them, go have fun.

Not really the point but those Starfleet uniforms they teased in S1 of Picard kinda slapped? Like there's definitely some work to be done but they're so much better than having to look at Jean Luc Picard save the world in a pair of jeans.

Stan Lee Kubrick @jthomasmurphy.bsky.social · Sep 13

Kinda bullshit we got like 15 Conjuring movies and only one Russel Crowe Pope's Exorcist movie. I would have loved to see him riding his little scooter around Europe solving Ghost Crimes.
