Our schedule for the Omaha Film Festival next weekend:)
#filmsky #omahafilmfestival

Also, not sorry for one fucking word! But none of it is truly directed at you.

My apologies for all the venomous invectives I've thrown your way, good sir!

Ok, tonight it was Hamnet (on Peacock), and I was annihilated again.

Honey and I have to watch something lighter next time.

I'm ok with Jessie Buckley winning the Oscar over Rose Byrne. But where was Paul Mescal's nom?

The covers of three books. Left to right: Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the life of a legend, about the late Sopranos actor. The cover shows Gandolfini looking shy, peering offscreen with one unobstructed eye and another that peeks out between the fingers of his right hand. CENTER: The cover of Cinema Her Way, a coffee table book by Marya E. Gates about female directors. On the cover is actress Michelle Rodriguez as the boxer heroine of Karyn Kusama's sports drama Girlfight, about a woman boxer. RIGHT David Hockney's painting collection The Arrival of Spring in Normandy, showing a painting of a verdant field. In the background of the field is green grass. in the upper foreground are the branches of a tree sprouting white, cottony buds.

A screenshot of the pre-orders section at mzs.press. Three screenshots of books that have not yet been released. I Am The Night, Daniel Dockery's book about Batman the Brave and the Bold, has a silhouette of Batman stretching from the top to the bottom of the cover, with the title of the book and a nighttime Gotham skyline circumscribed by the borders of the Batman silhouette. CENTER The cover of The Ring Cycle, Matt Zoller Seitz and Odie Henderson's book on the Rocky and Creed films. The cover is white except for a pair of black boxing gloves floating there RIGHT The cover of Documentary Now!, the 600-page, 7-pound coffee table book celebrating the aforementioned IFC Channel series parodying classic documentaries.

Screenshot of three books carried at mzs.press arts bookstore: LEFT: Cover of Lead Sister, a biography of Karen Carpenter, featuring a closeup of Carpenter playing and singing with The Carpenters. CENTER: The cover of Anthony Hopkins' We Did OK, Kid, a memoir of his life and career. On the cover is Hopkins in closeup as he looks presently, narrowed blue eyes looking directly at the spectator. RIGHT: Cover of Louis Armstrong In His Own Words, a collection of the bandleader's correspondence. The cover image is a photograph of a probably fortysomething Armstrong seated at the wooden desk in his office where he often wrote letters.

Screenshot of the covers of 3 books carried at mzs.press Arts Bookstore. LEFT: The cover of Gotham City Cocktails, a book of mixed drink recipes inspired by Batman. Art deco-style flowing border lines flow around and around the interior of the dust jacket. At the center are drawings of two tall cocktail glasses and between them, a shot glass and a tumbler with a sword-pierced cherry in it. CENTER: The cover of Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook. Green cover, white writing and graphics. The central image is a teapot with stem lines coming out of it, and at the pot's base, a teacup and saucer and a separate plate of biscuits. RIGHT: Bob's Burgers "The Re-Recipe Box," a set of recipe cards inspired by the joke hamburger names featured on the small board at the front of Bob's joint. Red sides with small graphics, cover image of the restaurant.

Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...

Song Sung Blue - The Original Documentary (The Full, Real Story) YouTube video by Reel As Dirt

Honey and I watched the documentary version of Song Sung Blue. Got wrecked again. Now looking up Neil Diamond performances on YouTube.

Showing Honey Song Sung Blue, and I'm a mess.

Watched Blue Moon and Ethan Hawke deserves a statue as much as anyone on that list.

Being raised on the Internet, instead of by rational adults, I'm guessing;)

It was specifically a book of artwork/planning for Jodorowsky's Dune (which stunk anyway). They thought they would be able to bring us *his* vision for Dune!

The Saga of the 'Dune' Crypto Bros And Their Very Pricey Mistake Is At Its End In a dismal crypto climate, the group is looking to sell its 'Dune' bible and cash out its treasury. “Really wish this worked out better," the group co-founder said.

Oh yeah, man!

"I bought an NFT composed of images of the book Dune, we can adapt it now!"

NFT-level delusions here. "Don't save my image, dude, I'll sue you!"

Finished Euphoria S1, and this is Freaks and Geeks levels of a cast of mostly unknown future superstars doing incredible work. Newfound respect for Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, and more. I just realized I've also seen Alexa Demie in Waves, a small masterpiece indie film.

My right Airpod died. I have ordered the Galaxy Buds 4, which will complete my cyborgification. I am more Android than man, now.

They do not comprehend the genuine.

Or decrepitude.

A fairly significant date passed me by yesterday, and that's a sign of healing.

That said, the dudes who started with me and really dived in with extra practice on Saturdays started to manhandle me towards the end of my year.

My son was also a baby at the time, so there was a lot of joy happening.

As a bullied kid, the idea of fighting smarter had always held considerable appeal to me.

Taekwondo gave me some tools, but when I sparred with a wrestler he absolutely manhandled me. Ragdoll simulator.

Brazilian jiujitsu allowed me to feel more confident that I could handle a wrestler.

Fun fact: In my late thirties I trained under a Brazilian jiujitsu black belt for a year, and once submitted a purple belt.

It was one of the best years of my life, for that and many other reasons.

I understand her Oscar nomination 💯 and I will be perfectly satisfied if she wins.

Good Lord, she can sing.

I think I've been planning this earnest scifi drama so long my muse wants to go dark again already.

Whew, what I just deleted...

Song Sung Blue: available on Peacock.

Holy smokes, I wish I'd seen this in the theater. I don't know who gave me the impression that this movie was mid, but it floored me.

I haven't liked Kate Hudson this much since Almost Famous. And she was better in this.

Must-see.

Made me look like this:

I wish all of you strength with your struggles, and some good luck as well.

How to convince people to read a book when every reader so far has liked it? Like, Book 1 has been a little divisive, but not Book 2, besides some rando one star with no review on Amazon. People read it, say, "Dang good book!" and then nothing. Ads did nothing; maybe keep promoting Book 1?

Lotta good folks on that list, congratulations everyone:)
