The Dodgers told me Yesavage keeps striking out their batters so I asked how many batters they have and they said they just go to the dugout and get a new batter afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding batters to Yesavage and then Jason Bateman started crying.

I would rather get a daily push notification from whoever it is you think is the most annoying person making you feel the worst about not masking than ever having to deal with long Covid, which I’m still recovering from.

Awful news that Kaleb Horton died. A talented writer who in another time would've been getting $5 a word with an expense account. Read his skilled filleting of the Entourage movie web.archive.org/web/20150605...

One of the best pieces by Kaleb Horton ever is no longer easily available, because of course MTV wouldn't maintain actual good music writing done for its site once. Thankfully I found it again via some digging: his 2016 memorial to Merle Haggard on his passing. Link here, screencaps to follow.

RIP Graham Greene. An absolute legend in Canada. Clearcut is one of my absolute favourite movies and it is completely carried by his performance (and lots of nature porn). 🧵 of screens from my watch last year
Think I’m going to stick with some folk horror tonight. Gonna go with Clearcut (1991) because Graham Greene rules #filmsky 📽️ #horrorsky

RIP Graham Greene (1952-2025) a towering figure in Canadian cinema. Honoured to have had a part in bringing this masterpiece back to home video, theatres and streaming for a whole new audience.

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.
