I write (short stories, essays, and screenplays), organize events (occasionally), and I work in e-discovery.
"You've Come a Long Way, Baby" is in the middle of the 90s electronic\pop Venn diagram.

Fat Boy Slims album cleared a path for Moby's Play and 2000s electronic pop.

Strange Days lives rent free in my head forever. It's really unique.

I wish Bigelow would make more sci-fi movies.

There’s nothing like the dopamine hit from the first time you recognize that Fatboy Slim sampled Angela Bassett’s line in STRANGE DAYS (1995) for “Right Here, Right Now”.

Gail will never stop writing your favorite stuff, so you're stuck.

Also, give this book a try. It might become your new favorite thing.

This was my first @felicia.day narrated audiobook and it was very good.

I've been waiting a bit for this, but Creepshow is finally here and it's really cool.

@shudder.com did a fantastic job with the packaging and the art book.

This will go next to Tales from the Crypt after I watch a few episodes.

Okay, all of them.

My order from @kinolorber.com arrived.

I placed this earlier this year but the first volume of the Fernando Di Leo Crime Collection went out of print.

Kino honored my sale prices because that's how awesome they are.

Happy 40th to Explorers. I was an 80s kid with a NASA obsession and I felt like this movie was made for me.

Sometimes I go back to the ship construction sequence just to hear Goldsmiths score again.

It's a reminder that my sense of wonder is still there.

Happy 30th to the first Bond film I watched in a theater.

Eon hadn't made a new Bond film in six years. Then the Goldeneye trailer dropped.

Gosha directed period dramas and Samurai movies in the 1960s and 1970s but his best work might have been his 1980s noir films.

1980s Japanese cinema is overshadowed by the Hong Kong action boom but it's worth digging into.

At 1st CASH CALLS HELL tricks you into thinking you're watching a chic hitman flick. With his beautiful features and rad turtleneck, Nakadai certainly looks the part of a suave killer. But as the film progresses, it becomes a haunting portrait of a broken man who's unfit for the criminal underworld.

I was looking for a specific Derek Jarman tribute video and I found a new one.

I had heard of Derek and possibly read about him in film study courses.

Dipping into the Jarman filmography via Tilda has been a unique experience.

Reviving my Tilda project shortly with a piece on Caravaggio.

So far, I've written on The Sluggard and Caprice and managed to acquire a copy of Zastrozzi.

The films after Caravaggio are Egomania and Aria.

Goodnight to iconic Japanese actor

Tatsuya Nakadai - the dynamic, handsome star whose illustrious résumé doubles as a snapshot of Japanese cinema in its golden age - who has passed away at the age of 92.

@kinolorber.com does something unique if an item is out of stock. They hold the entire order until the item is available or OOP and they honor the sale prices.

Because Kino kept the sale prices, I decided to get the rest of the order.
