Not from the producers of LEAVING NEVERLAND?
Go figure.

In keeping with my 007 / 007-adjacent Sunday morning ritual, I’m #NowWatching AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY (I need something light & fluffy).

Here with the boy this year.
I couldn’t be happier.

Happy #RecordStoreDay for those who celebrate.
Much shorter line this year.

The leads in Hitchcock’s films carry the load but it’s his inclusion of offbeat, quirky supporting players that make his films special.

Stunning. Great photo!

We have got us some serious July releases from

#PhysicalMedia #4K #4KUHD
I'm especially excited about 4K's of THE CRYING GAME and ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE.

For those who celebrate ...
Enjoy!
THE SWEET HEREAFTER for me tonight.

True story: selling stolen car stereos on a rather large scale.

Or by hanging out with a friend who has an older brother who will, in time, end up in prison. That friend's brother's record collection began my love affair with:
- The Tubes
- Sparks
- Bowie
- The Bonzo Dog Band
- Frank Zappa
- Captain Beefheart
- The MC5
- The Stooges

I generally don't do public nit picking but this has to be said:
- Joy Division / New Order not mentioned in the headline? TF?
- Joy Division / New Order being inducted as one entity? TFX2?

Top 10 noir films in my (usually) humble opinion.

This is it.
This is the answer.
Pretty much the only answer.

"Everything sucks, and you're expected to pay for the pleasure of making it worse"
Amen, brother.

“It wasn’t a depiction. It was more of a d’drawing”.

Time to revisit the “lost” Bond.
#NowWatching NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN.

Starting my day with some ha-ha.
#NowWatching NIGHT SHIFT.

What’s REALLY impressive is the HOT SPOT poster.
Virginia Madsen is on the femme fatale Mount Rushmore.

As do I.
I never owned it on vinyl because Brothers In Arms was a full digital release (DDD) which meant the CD sounded absolutely incredible.

Oh Jenny YouTube video by Bob Welch - Topic

Despite the BOOGIE NIGHTS style album covers, if I'm in the right headspace, I can be a total sucker for a Bob Welch song.
Don't hold your breath waiting on an apology.

I was relatively well behaved during this past #WarnerArchive (via #MovieZyng ) sale. It's going to be a great weekend!

True Story: I haven't packed a suitcase since 1986 without thinking about this film.
