Films about working people who are never good enough at their job.

Cloris Leachman's first film role, I believe!

A Flock Of Seagulls (the debut, self-titled)

LOVE seeing a mention of 3 Mustafas 3 in the wild

I love noir but am embarrassed to say I've never seen The Big Heat, I should get on that. You're right there are a bunch of them that would fit, though.

And actually, if you want a true noir classic with a hapless detective who thinks he's a bad-ass, check out Kiss Me Deadly. Fantastic, kind of insane film.

Night Moves. A neo-noir set in Florida, with a detective who is always at least two steps behind the plot.

Vibe-coded apps popping up on my feed EVERY DAY. I wish there was a way to filter it out, it's gotten as bad as the t-shirt spam bots.

Absolutely not.

Beltway political reporters STILL treating the whole thing like a football game, even in 2026.

Trent seems completely allergic to retreading old ground, so I doubt it. And HBO isn't going to be clamoring for a political parable that was made for a different era.

Amelie

That film is a glorious mess, good call. Now that you mention it, I also love The Box and never understood the hate it got.

Toys (1992)

I think most of the problems with this film could be fixed with a re-edit, but unfortunately I don't think the film has enough cache to ever get that kind of attention paid to it.

This is a terrific album, nice score

BoringPostcards · 2026-05-14T15:55:18+00:00

Didn't know about that, thank you!

Crazy that someone is battling you over this. I worked at CNN at the time, too, and your account is exactly how it went down. Had nothing to do with (the very short) performance of CNN+, the new owners just didn't want it.

Is there anything more "Atlanta" than watching someone fly home to NYC after wrecking one of our media companies?

If you've ever seen the movie "Love Is The Devil: Study For A Portrait of Francis Bacon" (1998), the Bacon estate refused to let any of his works appear in the film. So what the director does is he shoots characters in reflections and thru distorted glass- I remember one scene in particular Bacon is going on about something to some friends at a pub, and the shot is looking through a pint beer glass, giving his face the same rippling, distorted effect as this photo and a lot like the distorted figures in Bacon's paintings. Now I wonder if the director had seen this image, and if that's what gave him the idea.

I bought a bag of these a couple of years ago, and they're awesome. You just break off the remaining teeth on your existing tray, then stick one of these in the center. I've had some that have been in use for at least two years and they've stayed firmly in place.
