In honor of the Bears dominating the Eagles today, I made sure to watch the first 2/3ish of Rocky III before bed. Good night.

Say what you will about the #Bears over-performing and what this season may or may not mean, when today’s game was announced months ago I thought “that’d be great that game matters.”
It most certainly does, and that’s awesome. Now go find a way to win the damn thing.

Getting back to my normal all-over-the-placeness, but this week can be summed up by: two great re-watches and a couple good new ones which didn’t completely click for me.

I suppose I could just share this, which pretty much covers my first 11 years of concerts.
Probably time to work on the second one now, to catch up on the last 15 years.

Bryan Adams (1st concert ever)

A Perfect Circle
I spent most weekends between 1993-2001 at a concert of some kind. I had so much fun, saw and met so many great bands, and for sure damaged my hearing.
ZERO REGRETS.

Weening myself off the annual 3-month horror binge is never easy, but this week’s choices certainly helped.
I definitely know it’s not going to take me 22 years to watch “Lost in Translation” again. New favorites for the season-change snuck in too.

What’s a film you illogically associate with Thanksgiving/the post-Halloween autumn season?
For me, it’s a strong “Barry Lyndon.”

I had someone on my team the other day describe my vibe as “grunge hippie,” and I have to admit; I felt pretty, albeit pleasantly, seen.
Upon reflection, I decided I also would’ve been happy to accept:
•Metalhead Librarian
•Thrift Store Horror Poet
•Mosh Philosopher
•Gonzo Wizard

What are your top 5 movie genres?
Mine are:
1) Take me to a new world
2) Bah gawd, the writing!
3) Literal spine-tingling creepiness
4) Plot and characters don’t matter if there’s lingering shots of trees/sky/earth tactically scattered throughout
5) Perfectly dumbsmart

Finally finished adding everything I could to this beast. It ended up longer than I expected, especially w/out being able to add all the concerts or sports volumes we have. Pretty cool to have an official record though, especially with all them #Letterboxd stats & filters.

All 4K, Blu Ray and DVD, with a few sentimental straggling VHS holdovers included. Nothing digital. Not all concerts or sports releases were available to add here.

A first for me and @geologyjohnson.bsky.social to see trilobites in the wild. Look at the beautiful preservation 😍
Rocks likely heterolithic limestone with black shake and chert interbeds from late Devonian-early Carboniferous from southern Belgium.

It mostly took me until post high school to get into rap. I liked Cypress, and Rage if they count, but I liked DMX as soon as I heard him in 8th grade. Top 3 all time for me, east. RIP dog
