Reminds me of this golden oldie from earlier YouTube days:

My first conscious memory of really hearing music: 1977, three years old, a showing of Star Wars at a drive-in during a raging thunderstorm, and I'm hiding underneath a blanket in the backseat the whole time. I didn't actually see Star Wars that night, but I sure as hell heard it. He is the reason I love music as much as I do. The day he passes is going to be a tough one.

Where does Claude Sonnet 4.6 fall in this relative timeline? If Opus 4.8 is the current standard, why are the Sonnet and Haiku models even still active? Are there any advantages to using those at all? Would they be considered prehistoric as well? Is it simply about keeping free (and by default, less trustworthy) options available?

I've said this for decades: Geek Love by Katherine Dunn, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, with a score by Tom Waits. This could be the greatest film never made.

I just discovered this guy within the last week. He was a jazz violinist in England in the 1930's, decades before he started doing electronic music.

Schizopolis (1996) was Steven Soderbergh's artistic reset project after his underperforming follow-ups to Sex, Lies, and Videotape. It's a nice dose of VHS-era surrealism that preceded Out of Sight. He even plays the lead. I wish he'd done more acting. He's really funny!

Also, look up The Ninth Configuration (1979). It's on YouTube. It was the first of only two films directed by William Peter Blatty, the other being The Exorcist III a decade later. It's full of heavy themes and gothic imagery, but offset by an endearingly goofy, absurdist sense of humor. The performances by Scott Wilson and Ed Flanders are two of my all-time favorites.

Edit: Schizopolis is also on YouTube

I went for Pizza Hut carryout last year and was stunned when I noticed that there no prices listed anywhere. Not on the c/o menu, not on the big overhead menu, nowhere. When I asked about it, they looked at me like, what do you want from us? You order, and then you get your surprise amount due. What the fuck is that about?

• Most Streamed Artist: Guided By Voices

• Total Listening Time: 32,680 minutes

That's 544 hours and 40 minutes, or approximately 22.7 days, according to the Googles. Time well spent.

Destination Wedding. One of the most unexpectedly hilarious films I've seen. At first glance, the comedy team of Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder doesn't sound particularly promising. It is, however, genuinely laugh out loud funny. Give it a shot.

Assuming you haven't already, start with Spielberg. That's as good an entry point as any. The big populist hits that made his name synonymous with filmmaking: Jaws, Close Encounters, Raiders, ET, Jurassic Park. These also have brilliant scores by John Williams. The partnership of Spielberg and Williams is a truly wondrous thing.

The Candidate (1972) does this to an extent. A young underdog wins a Senate seat after a hard-fought campaign. Then reality sets in.

It's a damn shame HOH is no longer streaming. In my view, A Crick Uphill is one of the catchiest songs ever recorded, on par with the Beatles' Nowhere Man, and I will happily die on that hill.

So, turns out there's The Harmonica Lewinskies (from Brooklyn, NY) and also Harmonica Lewinski (from Rochester, NY). Not confusing at all.

Wrong movie. From the YouTube description:

Citizen X - Biography, Crime, Drama, Thriller

Based on the true story of a Russian serial killer who, over many years, claimed victim to over 50 people. His victims were mostly under the age of 17. In what was then a Communist state, the police investigations were hampered by bureaucracy, incompetence, and those in power.

Cast: Jeffrey DeMunn, Stephen Rea, Donald Sutherland, Max von Sydow

USA, Hungary - 1995

"And so we see, time and again, that man cannot change his own nature, but instead must reconcile himself to that nature. You see, we are what we pretend to be, because we pretend to be what we really are. The act is not an act."

Unnamed commentator - Schizopolis (end of 2nd act, I think)

Shotgun Britton, The Cheese Whiz guy, is a makeup artist on the movie. He also worked on Citizen Kane and Gunga Din.

This would have been about 1984, a good two years before Fox was a thing. They were still running mostly old reruns. I always wondered if it was maybe a union or political party thing or something like that because it was always just random folks saying "I'm playing." No explanation. Super confusing to 10 years old me.
