The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Wasn‘t Will Ferrell planning on doing a jokey spoof of MANIMAL hey Will Ferrell get at me
Grimdark MANIMAL reboot.
Only because she is.
Beautiful, more, just like that.
@spectacletheater.com Any chance for standby tickets for Friday’s show of REVELATIONS OF DIVINE LOVE? My gf would now like to attend, but we were too slow on the draw to get her ticket. Thanks for the info.
I try not to read reviews before listening for this exact reason!
Favorite new music from the last two weeks (And a playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/170...)
Boy, DOCTOR DARK, The Residents‘ 2025 Dr. Kevorkian fantasia, sure is Residents-y. (And pretty good…)
"Baby, I'm sorry, I know it's 4/20, but we're seeing the Lorne Michaels documentary."
Oh right

Oh man, they got this heavily accented child walking down a screen saver tunnel with his heels clicking like he’s Lee Marvin in POINT BLANK
Oh shit there’s a giant snake in that room
Jene is leading her monthly brunch with the WOC in her old therapy class. So I am watching the season 3 premiere of Knightmare. There’s a slightly bigger budget in this season!!
There also was a comic convention guy who specialized in press booklets and he had that and a few other gems, like RAMBO III.
Ken Russell was one of a couple of directors whose entire body of work I tried to torrent with Limewire back when I was in college. Nicolas Ray, Paul Verhoeven, Jodo, Tsukamoto…on Limewire…
I can check I have the original press booklet somewhere in my storage unit
I gave my dad the bad news today—the new mummy movie is bad. I told him in person; it’s better that way. He accepted what I said and we’ll likely never speak of LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY again.
Sorry, DÖNÜYOR.
As far as Superman Day goes, I can tell you that TURKISH SUPERMAN (1979), aka SUPERMAN DÖNÜYUR, exists, and I have seen it, but also my brain refused to retain anything about it except the John Williams score and the PUMAMAN esque flying scenes.
Big Brian Blessed energy in that first photo uwu
I was looking up showtimes for Monday night and
wait we can just not do that
Not to be morbid, but JEOPARDY’s going to take a very sudden and distracting turn after Johnny Gilbert’s death.
Ohhh shit, he has little fake eyebrows, tooooo
Jene isn't back yet, so I'm watching THE HUNTER WILL GET YOU, the 1975 Belmondo vehicle, not the 1980 McQueen vehicle. Belmondo disguises himself with a little mustache in this one.
I’m also catching up with THE BOYS and am embarrassed to have forgotten that Butcher now has Tentacle Hentai Hands, or Urotsukidoji Hands.
He was our man, truly.
