Christmas presents from me to myself
Is this who I think it is…
Reading a WSJ Op-Ed that argues the administrative hurdles to getting Medicaid, SNAP, etc are easy to clear. Thinking of Wiseman’s “Welfare” and a few people who might disagree…
Recent purchases. Shoutout to the Johnson County Library.
KAILI BLUES (2015, Bi Gan): “It’s like being in a dream.”
We're presenting COMPENSATION tomorrow night at Northwest Film Forum. Almost sold out!
Horse Vision. Horsegirl. Horse Jumper of Love. Too many bands with “horse” in their name. Note that there are many animals to choose from when naming your band.
Special to have seen Uncle Boonmee with a full house. Long live Grand Illusion.
We’re barely a month in and 2025 is already a mess, but at least FKA Twigs did us the courtesy of dropping an album of the year contender very early.

Breaking news: new poster on Letterboxd for Rivette’s The Nun makes it look like an A24 movie
it will also be playing at the @nwfilmforum.bsky.social in seattle starting feb 20 (also will probably play at the beacon at some point if we're being honest)
Wooop wooop that’s the sound of the police
Christmas presents to myself. Forgot I already had a copy of Eyes Wide Shut until I went to put this one on the shelf.
My ballot -
1. The Beast
2. Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World
3. Christmas Eve at Miller's Point
4. Challengers
5. The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed
6. Occupied City
7. Coma
8. Janet Planet
9. Last Summer
10. Red Rooms
La Práctica: maybe my pick for most underrated film of the year. Looks terrific and so dryly funny, like Sturges by way of Bresson.
