By the way, Dallas friends, if you haven't scooped a Valentines Day card for that special lady in your life, I got you! 😉 🏀💌
It is a Valentines Day Card with a black background, and on the right 1/3 of the image is the GM of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team—Nico Harrison—a smiling light skinned black man with a severely receding hairline and thin facial hair. His arms are crossed and he's wearing a light colored suit jacket with an unbuttoned white dress shirt underneath it. On the left side, in pink and red font, the message reads" Girl, I Wouldn't Trade You for Anyone!" and underneath it in white are spaces for "To:" and "From:"

After a lifetime creating bizarre, surreal worlds, filled with deeply flawed, odd characters, experiencing twisted events that defy conventional logic, and marked by a dark, unsettling sense of impending dread... David Lynch looked at his Monday calendar... pondered the next 4 years... and said ✌🏻
Black & white portrait of filmmaker David Lynch. He is an elderly white man with stern expression, greying hair combed back but slightly unkempt. He is dramatically lit with strong contrast, the left side of his face almost completely in shadow, and he stares directly at the camera with an intense gaze that seems to bore right through you, his brow furrowed slightly and his lips pursed together. He's wearing a black jacket and a white collared button-up shirt.

Movie friends, we interrupt your feed for an urgent announcement: The Brutalist is FINALLY playing in Dallas, AND in 70mm IMAX!

This is NOT a drill. I repeat, this is NOT a drill. 😲
Scene from the 2024 film The Brutalist. Lead actor Adrian Brody—a white man in his late 40s or early 50s with short dark hair, wearing a dark plaid sweater over a white button-up collared shirt—set against a dark blue sky at dusk, looks down at the camera, cigarette in his mouth, trademark squint on his face as embers swirl in front of him, indicating a fire just out of frame.

I've gotten so tired of replaying this in my head nonstop for the last 9 years...

Saw this posted by a friend on the other place, thought it was lovely. Suggest you give it a read! And if you're in DFW, me & the fam will all be at Northway Church @ 4p today. Childcare for 2 & under, only runs ~hour, & there'll be hot chocolate & cider too... happy to save you a seat! 😊🎄
Message from Robert M. Sterling (on Twitter): "Go to church tonight. Even if you don’t regularly attend. Even if you’re not religious, and Christmas represents a holiday for family and presents, not faith. Just trust me and go to church tonight. There’s so little in our society that’s sacred and beautiful. We have so few opportunities to experience something that feels profound or transcendent, or even just… not commercialized and not engineered to generate social media engagement. Church on Christmas Eve is one of those rare things. Do yourself a favor and let yourself experience that today. Put your phone on “do not disturb” and go listen to the most wonderful story in human history, of an infant savior born to a young virgin in a manger, who would be revered by shepherds and magi alike. Forget about the stress of last-minute shopping or getting your home ready to host in-laws and spend an hour singing timeless Christmas hymns. Light a candle and sing Silent Night before stepping outside into the quiet, dark winter evening. I promise you, the world into which you step back out will feel like a more serene and profound place. You will be able to enjoy the excitement and merriment of Christmas Day tomorrow all the more. And you may even feel closer to the God for whom this holiday exists. May God bless you and yours this holiday season. I love you all, and I hope all of you and your families have a merry and joyful Christmas."

100%! Getting THIS treasure felt like living in the future. It was a brave new world we were living in! ⌚️➕🤖=🤯
Two images side-by-side of a "Transformer" watch from the 1980s. On the left, against a white background, is a small grey and black transformer in robot mode, standing up, with a digital clock on his chest below the word "Quartz" and above a pair of red and blue buttons. On the right, that same transformer, changed into his compact "watch face" mode, and clipped back into a black band, on a light grey backround.

2022 feels like a lifetime ago, and I know it was an AppleTV+ release (which means it got zero marketing and minimal awareness), but damn if Spirited is not a certified Christmas banger! 🎄🎩

Any fans out there?
Marketing poster, or cover photo, for the 2022 Apple Original film "Spirited", away Christmas movie starring Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds. Landscape-oriented photo, with the left half green, right half red, and the sylized title "Spirited" spread across it. Behind it, bent forward and arms cocked mid-twist—as if part of a chorepgraphed dance—are Will Ferrell, a white middle aged man clad all in green, and Ryan Reynolds, slightly younger with dark hair and a close-cropped beard, wearing red. Their names appear to the side of either of them, above the title.

Be honest, who's done with their holiday shopping, and who still has some frantic mall visits (or emergency Amazon overnighting) in their future?
A Pixar-esque version of Scott, wearing a white sweater, red & green scarf, and jeans, with a ret hat perched on the back of his head. His hands are full with wrapped boxes and presents, and behind him is a crowded mall or store decorated for Christmas, with everyone in softer focus.

All I'm sayin' is, if Dave Franco isn't calling his agents RIGHT NOW, he's mising out...

#LuigiMangione
Side-by-side photos of actor Dave Franco (wearing a dark blue tux and black bowtie) and alleged UHC CEO assassin Luigi Mangione (wearing a black suit, checkered shirt and blue paisley tie), both smiling with light colored step-and-repeat backgrounds, taken from the chest up.

I mean, MAYBE. It's a little early to tell exactly what will be recorded from this part of our history. My hunch is that THIS guy will be the one recording it though...
A scene from Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, an elderly man with long white hair, white beard, and badly-weathered, sun-damaged face, in robes with tiny writing on them... The History Man squints and looks down as a woman is strung up on a tree behind him in the distance.

Reached for comment, in bed, Mike Johnson replied to the allegations...
Scene from the movie Tombstone. Doc Holiday (played by Val Kilmer), dying, lays in bed sweating, a close up of his head on the pillow, eyes half shut, skin sallow and clammy. He's speaking quietly, the words on the bottom of the image read "My hypocrisy knows no bounds..."

Not sure how much "Film Bluesky" has coalesced so far, but anyone got insights on the new Alien: Earth series? I've heard about it for months, of course, but new teaser says it's set in 2120... 2 years before the events on the Nostromo. How does THAT work?!?
A teaser images for the upcoming Alien: Earth series. A light blue crescent curves down from the upper left corner do the middle of the image before curving up to the right corner. It is Earth, viewed from space, with the majority of it completely covered in shadow. Below the Earth is also blackness, with no visible stars. Text reads "FX" in a box, the TV network. Underneath it is the title "Alien" in a bolder font, followed by "Earth" in a narrower font. Below that, on a third line are the words "New Seres" a vertical divider, and then the logos for Hulu and Disney+.

Part bowl cut, part mullet, 100% medieival page! 😂
Scene from SNL, Ariana Grande with a dead-eyed blak expression, dressed as a medieval castrati, with frilly neck collar, cold sleeves, and a pageboy hairstyle.

Yes, but I will say again for this audience, in all fairness, Oppenheimer did NOT have any marauding snow people...
Scene from the 2024 Christmas movie Red One. Three overly-musucular anthropomorphized snow men are getting out of the back of a truck on a beach. All have fearsome beady eyes, sharp teeth, and carrot noses. One on the left has a small black bowler hat, and an ice spear, the one on the back right has an ice sword and a corn cob pipe. The one in the middle-front of the trio, has an ice axe.

I know my personal audience is still nonexistent since moving over here, and not sure how Bluesky serves up discovery content, but if you're in Dallas, and you like whiskey, you should come hang tomorrow night! 🥃

Text on the left of the image reads "Freinds of DSS Happy Hour 11.13.24", white text on black. On the right side of the image are the wooden double doors to an old-school British pub, they're framed by old lanterns on either side with the word "Pub" etched into the glass and below them are potted plants. In the lower right hand corner is the logo for the bar "The Londoner" in black text in front of a circle filled with the Union Jack flag.
