Hey @netflix.com, I've done a quick mock-up. You could also put a bowtie on the top of the "i." Don't fuck this up.

I guess when your self-esteem has been buried six feet underground, you start to think there aren't any career paths open to you. And that's when they hit you with this ad.

Sometimes there are blocks of ads in old movie magazines that just make me laugh.

It appears that all I ever talk about on here is watching movie-films by myself with my eyes at night. Some of them are haha funny, but not hahaha funny. I do this while wearing pants in a room.

My annual Christmas trivia: Frank Capra was a Caltech graduate and lifelong science guy who told a biographer that had he not gone into film, he might have wanted to be an astronomer. When Capra was Academy president in 1937, he invited Edwin and Grace Hubble to be special guests at the Oscars.

Alright, well I'm back out here with more lights, a ladder I'm too afraid to use, a wiener stick, two layers of fortifying plaid shirts, and a dream.
If this is the last you hear from me, know that I died doing what I love: Freezing my ass off due to incompetence.

Take great pleasure in the ritualistic setup of the "Sarah's Holiday Canon" shelf. Christmas, New Year's Eve, snowbound cinema, just plain cozy, and good coats.

Happy Busby Berkeley's birthday. From the sexy and ticklish "Spin a Little Web of Dreams" number from FASHIONS OF 1934, in which, I presume, dozens of blondes in feather bikinis were given life-altering cases of Feather Lung.

Rick and Irene will have a much better idea of what's available locally, but if you don't have it already, I think everyone should own the full set of Buster Keaton shorts. Both Indicator & Criterion had indispensable Boetticher/Scott western box sets—think the 4K Criterion blu is region-free.
