Audience note from test screening of VIDEODROME, 1983

This person hated videodrome so much they forgot their gender

me, reaching into my dresser drawer for black pants: I hope this isn’t the pair with big holes worn in the inner thighs

Marie Kondo, gently over my shoulder: why is a pair of pants you find unwearable still in your dresser drawer

me: oh shit that’s right!! The dresser is for clothes that under some circumstance I might conceivably wear!!

Marie Kondo, beaming proudly: Yes, that’s correct!! These pants must have been your favorites. How wonderful that they were so comfortable and practical that you wore them out. But now since they no longer function as pants, you should move them from the drawer where you keep your functioning pants!

me: Yes thanks I got it they’re in the fabric basket now

Marie Kondo, fading back into the darkness: I love what you’ve done with the kitchen!!

The notion of KonMari as some creepy semi-embodied but entirely benevolent spirit, like a well-intentioned Bloody Mary, is so perfect and wonderful.

GOING TO THE BEACH?

In the US the last weekend in May is a traditional weekend to go to the beach. But before you go running into the water all willy-nilly and happy, please read the following warnings:

And, of course, please be sure you are properly attired for beach activity. No one wants to see your ankles, people.

My fave part of this tweet is that even though a lot of people are assuming this was an AI thing or whatever

this is the actual lede of their review of the Super Mario movie

"But it is also, if I check the clock, Mario Time". Poetry

"don't assign human morality to non human things" is so true except when it comes to printers. they know what they are, they understand dilemmas and ethics and morality. they choose to be how they are, they choose to be evil, at their very core they are rotten

An awkward thing is that Orbán is a fairly common last name in Hungary. Our new foreign minister and deputy prime minister is going to be another Orbán. Her campaign video includes her introducing herself to Donald Tusk, awkwardly saying "Anita Orbán, no relation. The name is just an accident." To which Donald Tusk says, in a sad, very tired voice: "My name is Donald."

A black-and-white old movie can't capture how lovely Rebecca looks in her pink dress! She's going to be a big hit when movies start being filmed in color.

Keeping an alive tumblr in 2026 is proof of one's sincerity and authenticity - a type of person who enjoys posting for the sake of it with absolutely nothing to be gained....just the enjoyment of curation and self expression untainted by opportunity and relevance
