The Ninth Configuration (1979) is a gothic horror-comedy set in a secret military asylum in a gothic castle on an island in the Pacific NW. Jason Miller understood the assignment. His intensity & commitment is a marvel. youtu.be/_hAA_ppWwks?...

I need to quit watching this but it’s too delightful to fade away yet so I’m pinning it for a spell.
For some reason, only being here a few minutes a day & spending the rest of my time writing & editing & turning in all the articles, chapters & reviews I had to set aside for over 2 months of illness is making me much happier. Please clap.

Selling Out Santa: Hollywood Christmas Films in the Age of McCarthy is about how uniquely American cultural media changed as a result of federal influences on Hollywood in the 40s/50s.
I fought for Open Access because media & propaganda literacy are essential right now.

My new & first book, Selling Out Santa, is Open Access!
If you like what you read and can, please consider buying a copy for you and maybe one for a history/film lover at Christmas (it's 40% off)!
It'll likely be my only income in over 2 years once royalties pay next July, so please consider it!

Pity poor @fishinnards.bsky.social who returned from a workout to me ranting about James Carville holding up the line at Le pain Quotidian on King Street while he & his wife argue about brownie density. At least I’ve moved on from the list of movies this man ruined with his talking talking talking
From ~1997 - 2002 I was on campus 70+ hours a week & those precious escapes from work for dinner or a movie or coffee elsewhere, this man was somehow ALWAYS there. Right behind me or at the next table, talking talking talking. He was like my personal sleep paralysis demon.

See, the reason I continue to waste my time on social media is so I can discover stuff like this.
Didn't know that I needed a go-go version of "The Right Kind of Lover" until today. Patti went from heels to barefoot to flats in the span of two songs. Incredible stuff here. An entire living legend.

If you are someone who enjoys relatively mainstream disco, country, and pop from the late 70s/early 80s, Philly AIDS Thrift got in several thousand jukebox 45s (mostly without picture sleeves) from that era for $2-3. I got 2 Donna Summer singles and Shannon “Give Me Tonight”.

Pseudoarchaeology is one of the foundations of white supremacy & Far Right politics. It’s always chilling to talk to kids who’re already convinced archaeologists hide the truth & dismiss trained professionals with loaded terms such as “orthodox,” “conventional,” or “establishment” archaeologists.

In my panic earlier when I thought I’d lost the rest of the turkey hats, I somehow failed on the Q part of a QT. But now the story has a happy ending: the skeletons all have their turkey hats & the ghosts have their elf hats, altho my brother is probably beginning to deeply regret this visit
