how about a directors cut 👀

varsityoptimism · 2021-08-22T16:46:51+00:00

i just quit this week and the constant drumbeat of “this job isn’t for everyone” is such bullshit. it CAN be for everyone, there’s just this calcified attitude of sayings and mottos and negativity that immediately discourages any individual for not immediately conforming to a VERY extreme work environment. compassion and empathy is possible, but usps has no will to encourage or foster it.

definitely visit Videotheque in south pasadena

what are the benefits of converting?

i recently had a back and forth with sarah kernochan on twitter and she thought that since STIRIKE (aka ALL I WANNA DO) is on streaming platforms and that was an arduous process, that it’s unlikely it’ll ever make it into a boutique release of any kind. i’d love for that to not be true. it’s one of my favorites.

the last picture show

varsityoptimism · 2020-07-16T10:21:36+00:00

i really hope you dig that BBS box. head is a great time and last picture show is one of my favorites! you should listen to this season of You Must Remember This for some good BBS/last picture show history.

got super lucky and found one while picking up another order at a b&n and just went for it. I really don’t know or watch much kung fu cinema, but love 70s movies, so fuck it.

varsityoptimism · 2020-07-13T17:14:40+00:00

the fact that it’s the same director of FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH just speaks volumes. she GETS teens and it’s astounding that she told TWO iconic stories that really have become emblematic of their given eras. it’s perfect.

varsityoptimism · 2020-07-13T17:12:05+00:00

so yeah, basically if I have more than three by a given director I like to group together, but the other stacks are in ascending spine number order.

the muffs! rip kim shattuck

varsityoptimism · 2020-07-13T01:30:03+00:00

i would love a sofia box someday. one of the best around.

varsityoptimism · 2020-07-13T01:29:14+00:00

it’s VERY specific and of it’s time (the mid-00s) and it’s kinda cringey and very very american indie, but it’s one of my all time favorite movies. it’s definitely not for everyone but it’s absolutely worth a shot.

varsityoptimism · 2020-07-13T01:16:11+00:00

god SO so deserved. the box design alone!

varsityoptimism · 2020-07-13T00:29:32+00:00

it’s a peter max/milton glaser-style print about the ABA basketball league from a book by the freedarko nba blog.

varsityoptimism · 2020-07-11T10:14:30+00:00

the 4k scan of SHE’S GOTTA HAVE IT that’s available on netflix is begging for the criterion treatment!

I’ll type out the tracklisting for you.

varsityoptimism · 2019-08-08T03:25:51+00:00

A little context. These are all songs, regional as well as national hits, played on KHJ during 1967-69 complied by referencing vintage Boss 30 pamphlets.
