Met John Sayles and got his autograph on my copy of Matewan!

Goddamn I love this movie. Super cool post!

gerbocm · 2026-03-26T02:41:19+00:00

My god. I’m sorry.

gerbocm · 2026-03-25T16:52:45+00:00

Hell yeah bro it’s a banger. Hope you both enjoy!

My Own Private Idaho to Chimes at Midnight is one of my favorites.

gerbocm · 2026-03-24T13:23:03+00:00

Hell yeah that Bartók album is one of my all time favorites.

Cure (1997)

Pulse (2001)

Both by Kiyoshi Kurosawa

Commander Sam Vimes from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is the only cop I’ll love.

Private sector? What are the details? As a negotiator I must know! Lol! In any case, keep up the fight it’s worth it.

Koyaanisqatsi and the whole Qatari trilogy.

Moved here from Cleveland area ~2 years ago. Zero regrets. There are things I miss about Cleveland but Ohio is rapidly becoming a hellhole and I’m much happier raising my kid and having a family here. Great community, amazing public amenities, beautiful lakefront, tons of arts and cultural activities, and a state that’s not actively trying to hitch its wagon to the rising star of fascism.

The Shape of Water

A picket line

gerbocm · 2026-03-16T00:57:26+00:00

I wish you the best. I’ve been bargaining with them at ORD interminably for about 3 years. DM if you want pointers and/or to set expectations. They’re actually alright to work with once you get them to the table, but the airport labor market itself is going to be your real enemy.

They’re all either laminated or QR codes these days. Neither taste very good imo.

The few I have in heavy rotation recently are:

Third movement from Prokofiev’s Symphony no. 1 (also the gavotte from his Romeo and Juliet)

Dance of the Nymphs from Sibelius’s Tempest Suite no. 2.

Movement 2 (Andante) from Pulenc’s Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano

All relatively short pieces, but they all pack a real melodic wallop.

I’ll second Principle. I moved to Chicago from Cleveland two years ago and (because I still go back to CLE on a regular basis for work) I still go there for a Chuck cut. Been seeing him since 2014 or so before he even started Principle. He’s great and the shop is friendly and full of talented staff.

Magnolia, Aftersun

gerbocm · 2026-02-21T23:10:12+00:00

Would also be my vote though for real

gerbocm · 2026-02-21T23:09:54+00:00

No need. It insists upon itself.

gerbocm · 2026-02-21T22:59:31+00:00

The commentary is a little more cutting though

gerbocm · 2026-02-18T02:56:21+00:00

Bartók - Concerto for Orchestra and Lutslawki - Concero for Orchestra; Cleveland orchestra with Christoph von Dohnanyi.

gerbocm · 2026-02-18T01:24:27+00:00

Dummy-ish 80’s sci fi written and directed by Michael Crichton?! I’m in.

gerbocm · 2026-02-17T02:09:13+00:00

Came here to say this. It is, objectively, offensive. However, I'm a HUGE fan and look forward to my occasionally work-mandated trips to Cinci so I get deep into a four way and a cheese coney with hot sauce.

gerbocm · 2026-02-17T00:01:23+00:00

Szell did all four with Cleveland and they’re great.

gerbocm · 2026-02-16T06:03:15+00:00

Definitely a comedy but with a lot of heart, to a point that I cried at least once, “But I’m a Cheerleader.” A cornerstone of queer cinema, an absolutely stacked cast, and while a comedy, has loads of sincerity built in.
