I hope a natural disaster strikes that catches him so off-guard he just has a stroke and keels over. 🏥 All of this stuff he’s doing is predictable events; so they can be managed. But a hurricane, tornado or earthquake? He can’t spin the story on those. Let him be stressed out by it all. 🌪️

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

Saw “The Pope of Greenwich Village” (1984) for the first time. Not bad… Got great… Disposable Greenwich Village mob drama. Mainly a showcase for the acting of Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts and Daryl Hannah. Daryl Hannah is decent in a role that is mainly focused on her showing off her aerobics bod. 🩰

PS: Saw this because I was fascinated by Alex Ross Perry’s work after seeing “Pavements.” While one is a drama (“Her Small”) and the other a (pseudo?) documentary (“Pavements”) both were about 30 minutes too long. It makes me not want to see his other work. Too tedious and “indie” for my tastes.
Jack Szwergold (@jackszwergold.bsky.social)
Saw “Her Smell” (2018) today. Wow, what a crappy film. It’s basically a showcase from Elisabeth Moss’s acting (overacting?). Episodic with no plot. At the end you just don’t care about anyone. Reminiscent of John Cassavetes’ “A Woman Under the Influence” but with far less charm, humor and skill. 👎

While I initially through the musical “Slanted! Enchanted!” and the fake museum “Pavement: 33-22” were self-indulgent; it makes sense since Alex Ross Perry wanted to film artifacts from the band. Why just spend money to film individual items; why not just have a fake museum setup for a week? (2/2)

The footage from the fake movie “Range Life” as well as the musical “Slanted! Enchanted!” and the “Pavements: 33-22” fake museum exhibition were cool, but they did not overwhelm the film. Very Warhol like with the use of montage and split screen. Worse ways to waste 2-ish hours. (2/2)

And Fred Trump later created “Trump Village” on Ocean Parkway in Brighton Beach in 1964. My parents came to the U.S. in 1963. They moved into a dumpy tenement directly across the street from “Trump Village” and put in an application for an apartment in the newly built “Trump Village.” 🧵 (1/2)
