I'm hosting this event w/ @pfischer.bsky.social & @drewmcweeny.com on Monday! When I heard about Paul's book, I quickly reached out to the pub & luckily we figured out a date for the store. Then they said Drew was in & my 'stoked' level doubled.
So don't miss it!
This Monday at 7pm.
It's 4/20!

It’s the goof of all time. Look, but don’t touch. Touch, but don’t taste. Taste, don’t swallow. And while you’re jumping from one foot to the next, what is He doing? He’s laughing his sick, fucking ass off. He’s a tight-ass. He’s a sadist. He’s an absentee landlord. Worship that? Never!
Favorite Film from the year I turned 18
This post & its comments/quotes are brimming with full-chested yet ill-informed assertions. I'd even argue that Pacino has exclusively given self-parody performances post-Oscar is untrue. Undoubtedly more paycheck roles but he's still capable of being measured even if the baseline is more outsized.
Me in 93. 7th grade.
I should bring this look back.
Best Star Trek crew. Wrong answers only.
Stop scrolling & post two characters who bring you happiness
The forthcoming book A Violent Masterpiece by Jordan Harper on a party tablecloth that is pink with purple on the bottom along with cute illustrated axolotls
@jordanharper.bsky.social, I think I have the perfect promotional pic for the new book!
Javier. My man.
speaking from my own experience of getting diagnosed with inattentive ADHD in my early 40s I encourage anyone who thinks they may have it to get it chcked out. i wish i'd done it earlier. and don't listen to anyone who says otherwise which is tough cuz ADHD makes you doubt yourself on the regular.
Pitch a movie with just the actor & the director.
Another Morning Stoner has been on so many of my mixes over the last 24 years. Saw them at the El Rey in LA on this tour. Pretty fuckin face melting.
Happy birthday and A+ tattoo!
Me & @kevmpk.bsky.social worked overnight 'set security' on Bubba-Ho-Tep. One early morning, we were playing frisbee in the parking lot. A car pulls up, Bruce gets out of the passenger side, sees us, and says, "Working hard or hardly working?"
It was perfect.
Fuck cancer.
Hail to the king, baby.
Went to see Capturing the Friedmans on a first date....a first date?! Surprisngly it worked out, we've been married for coming up on 14 years.
Watched it last week and I gotta say....underrated Pacino performance of the last 20 years
Happy birthday!!
You don't want to miss @jordanharper.bsky.social & @blacktopkid.bsky.social, two of the best crime writers alive, in conversation at the launch of Jordan's latest A VIOLENT MASTERPIECE.
I'll be there. Just look for the guy hosting.
Don't be foolish. Be there.

RE: the graphic
You're welcome!

If memory serves me right(which it often doesn't) I think A Better Tomorrow & Bullet in the Head was the double feature I saw as a teen at the New Bev in the earlish/mid 90s.
I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
That shit was amazing and the direction was next level. I got teared up. Wow Benito.
Also, I knew like 2 songs. Didn't matter.
Literally any commercial, whether it be for cars or potato chips, if it's about dads, their kids, & the passage of time, you got me, I've got tears in my eyes.
A compliment that could not have made me save a playlist quicker
Huge congrats! Looking forward to it immensely. Hope you make it out West on tour!
RIP David Lynch. You would've loved little guy shrooms.
