RTARL PRESENTS COLLEGE FOOTBALL TV WATCH EM UPS 2024 SEASON: Week 10

Miami vs Duke is one of the early games. You have to hate at least one of those two.

One thing that was weird to me in an interview Rick made after the Medusa episode was when, in regards to the changes from the books and how Annabeth instantly figured out where they were, he says around the lines of "Oh she's a daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom, so why didn't figure this out sooner in the books" or something like that (correct me, politely, if I am wrong). And, to that, while I understand wanting things to be different from the books it's also important to note that isn't it implicitly stated that, in the books, both Percy and Annabeth were under some sort of magical spell that basically had them throwing out basic thinking out the window? And also weren't they literally starving after having little to nothing to eat for hours? And also, again, they were kids! They probably aren't going to figure things out right away no matter how smart, especially when hungry!

I am once again saying that if we're expected to believe the Olympics are about anything more than corporate branding then they should be available to watch for free, or at least on multiple platforms

Probably just the likely PMDD (and I am keeping a system journal ahead of my appointment on Tuesday) but every time I am watching tv on the couch and a member of my family walks in and turns on the lights I want to commit violence. They’re not even coming into the room to do anything, they just think that I should have the lights on and don’t ask, they just do.

[weedle-testaburger]

idk why but i have really strong nostalgic connections with the way i watched tv shows for the first time

[lotusmesenpai]

I’m back in the Narutrenches…

[scottstiles]

the idea that something called "artificial" anything is taking over basically all aspects of functioning society is the best indication of the direction we're headed

[gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

also is it worth it to wake up at 5:45am tomorrow morning for F1 just to watch Verstappen win by 16 seconds again?

RTARL PRESENTS COLLEGE FOOTBALL TV WATCH EM UPS 2023 SEASON: Week 8

I am completely out of sorts with this college football season. Miami being good so far and ranked #6 feels like a trick that can only end badly for me if I let myself get wrapped up in it. Can you believe it’s already rivalry week with the Canes playing host to the ghastly Florida State Seminoles, probably the worst preseason top 10 team of all time? If ever there was a game to embarrass the whole state of Florida it would be the Noles posting a fourth straight win over Miami. Hope for the best, expect the worst, accept and laugh at even worse than you could imagine. That’s the American way.

In other news it’s the biggest weekend of Spooky Season and I find myself desperately missing my favorite event in Los Angeles, the Aero Theater’s annual Horrorthon. For $35 you get to hang out in and around an old single screen theater in one of the bougiest neighborhoods in the country and watch a bunch of old horror movies and crazy interstitial programs (the first time I saw Too Many Cooks I assumed it was put on by the same people) for 16 straight hours and eat junk (Little Caesar’s, Subway, popcorn, Peet’s coffee and whatever energy drink the Cinematheque acquired this year) while surrounded by a community of fellow dorks (complimentary) in costume who wait all year for this.

Well, I can’t be in Santa Monica this weekend but I can still watch horror movies and eat junk. To that end, here is my hoped for playlist for a Horrorthon At Home ‘24:

TRAP (2024), dir: M. Night Shyamalan - This looks so silly it makes my teeth hurt. Does that make sense? No. Perfect.

THE MUMMY (1932), dir: Karl Freund - You can’t have a proper spooky movie marathon without at least one Universal monster and this one is streaming on Prime Video.

HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH (1982), dir: Tommy Lee Wallace - The first time I watched this movie as an adult was at the Horrorthon and people believe me when I tell you Tom Atkins is cinema’s greatest hunk.

SINISTER (2012), dir: Scott Derrickson - Twelve years old already? Sigh. Time she is a goner.

THE MOUSE TRAP (2024), dir: Jamie Bailey - Looks pretty bad. Would be fun to heckle.

GORGO (1961), dir: Eugene Lourie - It’s a knockoff Godzilla. Gotta keep things light.

JENNIFER’S BODY (2009), dir: Karyn Kusama - I’ve never actually watched it. No time like the present.

THE BEYOND (1981), dir: Lucio Fulci - You have to close things out with something a little hard to watch. I’ve not seen this one but Italian horror movies are usually splatterfests so this should do it.

Design your own Horrorthon in the comments and have a spooky Halloween!

hm. don't like that cancelling our streaming services feels like a major loss. very silly way to feel.

Trying to watch a movie a day. Yesterday it was Wes Anderson’s Astroid City. Rn I’m rewatching Little Shop of Horrors as my movie

some other fun little things i found on my diabolik research deep dive today:

Una vita vissuta diabolicamente, a 2009 exhibition in rome - found youtube videos of it but haven't watched them yet (i do have the links saved)

Danger: Diabolik - From Fumetti to Film, behind the scenes making-of doc (around 20mins) for danger diabolik (youtube link)

Diabolik sono io, documentary about the first artist for diabolik who from what i can tell mysteriously vanished?? seems interesting but haven't watched it yet (the link takes you to raiplay i haven't found a free way to watch it yet and i don't think it has english subs)

Manetti bros variety interview which is kinda fun (eng)

the entire danger: diabolik mystery science theater 3000 episode because why not (youtube)

and finally there's this interview with fashion designer ruthie davis where she talks about being inspired by eva kant. which is neat
