I’m guessing Saturday night. Just cause all eastern teams are done and Bruins finished Tuesday. West teams wrap today so figure east games lead off and the Sabres are too big a story to hold til day 2 of the playoffs if I’m the schedule guy
Rich alludes here to the wisdom of the judges at the Nuremburg trial: “To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."
Larry Hama posted online, “I am getting messages from Comics Gaters claiming that the vast majority of my fans are in their ranks. If this is true, I truly regret the last 40 years of my work. And I have to question the clarity of my writing if so many misinterpreted what I had to say all these years.”
Larry is the best
That’s a Monday morning watch for sure. If you can plausibly leave your house are you even watching The Thing?
I frequently realize days after the fact that a mundane interaction I had with someone I know was just a dream rather than something real
It’s so neat seeing the Letterkenny/Shoresy aesthetic applied to an entirely different genre
today the fascists killed a nurse who did good work for the people in his care
Love to be baffled by the prior owners and their bizarre decisions
Yep
Incredible, love that for you and Marty
A delight from the ever enjoyable Kings. No one does a mainstream procedural show but weird like them
As someone who always wanted to subscribe but could not justify giving Substack any money, I immediately bought a yearly subscription after you announced the move. Doubt I'll be the only one!

@danryckert.com Just making sure you’re aware there’s a fancy 4K of Dirty Work with an unreleased cut of the film that’s out now. Would be very upset if I said nothing and you didn’t know. vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...
Extremely mad not to have immediate access to this lifestyle
Funspot had the only credits I didn’t manage on my last trip and I hate missing a woodie
I will say, I have some thoughts/musings that I’m not really into posting publicly. I definitely have issues with how they’ve been run so largely I think you’re spot on. No real reason a place this unique with a burgeoning market should be that far in the hole
Which, bad for me, and ultimately will be bad for them as those folks leave eventually rather than them catering to new audiences
The model did indeed die out for a reason. Upgrading the collection would be a massive boon, but if they’re running this much of a deficit I can’t imagine they have the funds to do so. I also suspect the DVD reliance is a feature, catering to older community members who only have/want DVD
That and since they let people just hold discs stuff can be out for ages that they technically have
Can’t disagree. It’s an amble for me when I go. And that’s not a thing I’d drive out of my way for. I do think their back title selection is decent but their organization is all over the map and makes it incredibly hard to find things since they have tons of different sections
Which, even when I used to live 10 minutes away it was too far. It’s a neighborhood spot and I wish there were more for most neighborhoods
Fair to say. They do get their new releases quick but I’m not eagle eyed for that so I wonder when. The new stuff also seems to get scooped quick and only a copy or two arrives. It’s not a great destination visit but an invaluable local hangout
I wish they brought in a few more 4Ks, but BVid does thankfully at least get new release blus. Having said all that, the core of a sustainable model has to be the events and coffee/non-profit of it all. I’m a nerd for it, live less than a mile away and I don’t use the video side a ton
Incredible
Felt shaking down in CT so seems likely
Can’t wait, catching it Saturday
The worst. Just a total lack of care and attention
Which drives me wild, it was a conscious choice to say masking doesn’t matter. And it does, it matters so much
Frustratingly, I think they never even installed the equipment to do it in most theaters. They went with the 1.88 ratio screens which means they just don’t have the masking anymore. The screen is the screen and they chose the option that saved space/construction costs
