Remembering Kaleb Horton with a few songs

If you want to understand my buddy Kaleb, who died a couple days ago, a good place to start would probably be the band X.

"This is a good film, but change would be a much greater achievement. How much longer must we studiously document senseless suffering?” writes @judysquirrels.bsky.social about the documentary, THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR.

The Perfect Neighbor movie review (2025) | Roger Ebert

Both a recent tragedy and a tale as old as time.

Gonna make a Moonstruck 1½, which will just be the movie from Danny Aiello's perspective, just having the worst set of days of his life

Jennifer Lopez is in top form in Kiss of the Spider Woman. It’s mesmerizing to watch her dance, commanding the screen, fully in her element.

At this year’s NYFF, @judysquirrels.bsky.social writes how LATE FAME, WHAT DOES THAT NATURE SAY TO YOU, & BARRIO TRISTE, all “explored the generational divide between jaded elders and the eager young minds hoping for a better future.”

Rose Byrne gives a career-best performance in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, a tense nightmare of never-ending movement and exhaustion.

this is like exactly how I feel, wow

A really painful part I’ve been working through lately is the years I lost in it and trying to find myself again after. The parts of my memory that are completely fractured. Even memories that happen before that my brain just deleted.

I blinked and half of my 20s were gone.

a painful part of having been in an abusive relationship is all the residual shame involved with remembering it, remembering what it did to your relationships with other people, your work, your sense of self… and how your life is organized into “before” and “after”

I keep imagining this fake carefree version of myself (who obviously never existed) but my brain keeps saying “you could have been her!”

sometimes it feels like I threw my whole life away, even though I’m very much still here. I don’t know if that makes sense. it still all feels like my fault.

“STILLER AND MEARA is a fascinating window into not only the history of this famous family but also the beautiful and punishing nature of performance itself,” writes @judysquirrels.bsky.social out of the film’s NYFF premiere.

Stiller & Meara: Nothing is Lost movie review (2025) | Roger Ebert

As we learn more about three generations of Stillers, the film takes the shape of a family therapy session that just happens to be lovingly crafted into a feature documentary.

To add onto it, they've had trifectas twice in the last 20 years, and the last minimum wage increase was passed by George W Bush lol.
