Pure mood 🐈

The drama of soccer.

I’m just endlessly fascinated with the Hell Gate bridge.

I don’t think I ever posted this: Hellgate NYC, a great, local, journalist owned New York City news site, sends incredible T-shirts to their subscribers.

Following up on my God of Thunder post, it included some wonderful BBS information. You gotta love it.

God of Thunder for DOS 🕹️

Does anyone remember God of Thunder?

No, not the Marvel movie, or the KISS song, or even the Greek mythological God, but the DOS game about that Norse mythological God.

This God of Thunder is a 1993 …

Toy Story 5, 2026

It’s a thin soup at this point.

Evil Dead Burn, 2026

Felt like a follow up to the 2013 remake in four tone, but way more gross. There’s lots of gore but it was the no blood moment that made me gag.

Construction, am I right?

I don’t know what it’s saying, but this tableau speaks to me.

Who doesn’t love a sunset.

Obsession, 2025

I’ve seen it twice in the theaters now and I picked up more the second time. I was also the oldest person in the theater by a good amount both times. I’m hip.

Evil Dead II, 1987

Watched on Thursday July 16, 2026.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, 2026

Fun sequel. Hard to pull off a decent one with a high concept premise like this and while it doesn’t reach the original it’s a real good time.

Ready or Not, 2019

Really fun and more emotional than I expected. Ace cast.

Obsession, 2025

A young person is sitting inside a car at night, intently looking at an object in their hands with the word OBSESSION prominently displayed in the center.

Genuinely unsettling. This thing has been out for weeks and my local theater was almost full. I didn't know the director was a former YouTuber before I saw the movie, or that he was so young. I can clock some of that inexperience in retrospect, but overall it's a confident, stylish, and creepy debut. Also, according to the box office, everyone has already seen this, so y'all know what I mean.

Beyond the Door III, 1989

A woman in a flowing pink dress appears to be floating or levitating in a red-lit doorway above a dark staircase with the text BEYOND the DOOR below.

Ghost train is best train.

I was a nervous wreck, but I got to meet Jimmy Pardo after his hilarious set at the Bell House just now, and got to thank him for his show helping me through hard times. He was incredibly gracious despite my blathering.
