In the last year or so my daughter has regularly started sentences with the words “I love you Daddy but…”
Alan Zweig looks back on decades of filmmaking—and ahead to his pessimistic new podcast thecjn.ca/podcasts/alan-… @ralphbenmergui @a_zweig @CANADALAND
Been watching all these New York indie films on Kanopy. A nice change from all the violence streaming. There was an older actor in one, didn't recognize him, loved his presence, his voice. Looked up credits. Israel Horowitz. Father of Ad-Rock. Shoulda been in more movies.
the other day at her school, a classmate of my daughter's mispronounced the word "antisemitic", and when it was pointed out to them, they apologized to my daughter. "Sorry Jewish classmate, we mispronounced the word for jew hatred".
Someone was afraid it would be dangerous to show a film about Americans changing their views about Israel. cbc.ca/news/canada/ha…
Full Body Massage is probably the name of a massage parlour somewhere but it’s also a Nicholas Roeg film I watched on Tubi. I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love it. I was amazed it was made, that Mimi Rogers cooperated so fully with his vision and how it made me want a massage
I don’t understand how someone can keep complaining about the violence suffered by their tribe and then cheer on the violence committed by their tribe.“They started it” is what a kid says to a parent breaking up a fight. Then you grow up. Peace is the only choice
If you could only bring yourself to keep one Godz record which would it be, first or third?
I know this is not the best place to come for medical advice but I have moderate sleep apnea and I cannot fall asleep with a CPAP mask. Anyone have a solution that isn’t based on quackery ?
I took twitter off my phone but I can still sneak in on my laptop and I'm here to say I would really like some of you to join Threads, which right now is a friendly place but a bit too narrow, probably because of who I'm following but if you were there I'd follow you too.
At the CPAP store trying out different masks and the young lady slides over a mirror and asks if I want to see how it looks. Yeah that’s what I worry about when I’m trying to sleep with this crazy rubber contraption on my face. Far from improving sleep it’s preventing it.
Random decent movie recommendations on Prime- Fallout, Passer by
Highly recommend the Broken Record podcast interview with Robbie Robertson, at his charming storytelling best.
Does streaming music show you how to dance to it? No it doesn’t.
My partner just came downstairs and I told her “The flies at the back window are easier to kill than the flies at the front window”.
Finally watched that “try that small town” video. In “okie from Muskogee” us city folk just took our trips on LCD. Now we riot and burn flags. I guess there’s no flag burning in the small town. Only a little cross burning.
Im trying to play all six David Blue records I have, in celebration of their return from the guy who I told 3 years ago “don’t give them back till I finish this screenplay “

This $10k paid advertisement claims the Hamilton Jewish Festival was cancelled after the venue was threatened. This is NOT true; the festival has stated explicitly "at no time did we receive threats of violence." It matters that we live in a reality-based society.
outside of this being based on misinformation about the hamilton jewish film festival, the idea that racism against any other group here would not be tolerated is utterly baffling. you can run for office on an anti islam platform and win. I USED TO COVER ANTI MUSLIM RALLIES!

The best thing that keeps happening are strangers coming up to me to ask, "Are you Diana Chan McNally," immediately followed by, "IS YOUR MOM MS. CHAN?" The answer is yes: my mom is Ms. Chan who taught at Runnymede C.I. She's doing great and it thrills her that you ask!
One part song and and one part apparition, The Shins’ “New Slang” emerges seamlessly from the tradition of suicide-folk ranging from Nick Drake to Eliot Smith while never giving up at all. A “Waterloo Sunset” for a generation that perfected emotional half-measures. Deeply moving.
Two minutes and fifty seconds of supercharged hooks and Oscar Wilde-style-aphorisms, Husker Du’s “Makes No Sense At All” is punk rock’s “Nowhere Man”. A heartfelt assault on apathy wed to a melody tailor made for anyone who ever had a heart. The power chords of positive thinking.
