Thanks to the good folks at Levi’s and Porsche, MOVIE DIARY 2018 returns for another entry. This week, I’ve got poet and friend from online, Kristin Lueke! Kristin is someone I’ve been friends with online for years now, and it’s kind of weird to think that we all probably have old friends from online by now, but I think that’s a nice thing. And when it comes to nice things from the world of online these days I’ll take what I can get! Anyway, I’m really glad she’s here this week and you will be too!

MOVIE DIARY 2018: PEOPLE THINK THAT PIPES GROW IN THEIR HOMES– BUT THEY SURE AS HELL DON’T!

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) by special guest Pete Toms
You Were Never Really Here (2017)
Eraserhead (1976)

A little bit of a light week this time around because I have been catching up on TV, sorry! I was kicking around the idea of writing about some of that TV, but this isn’t TV DIARY 2018, this is MOVIE DIARY 2018, baby. This week I’ve got writing from one of my favorite cartoonists, Pete Toms! Pete makes comics that I think perfectly capture the absurdity and alienation of being alive in this time when everything is dumb and hyper-connected. Mother’s Day is coming up so please think about giving your mom the gift of Pete’s comics.

There’s like some new age-y thing where you say stuff out loud and that helps you manifest that thing, sort of like willing it into existence, right? I’m sure I’ve half-listened to that somewhere. Anyway… MOVIE DIARY 2018 will develop a dedicated following of people with money… MOVIE DIARY 2018 will get a book deal... MOVIE DIARY 2018 will make money... MOVIE DIARY 2018 The Book will be adapted into a television series… The merchandise will be lucrative… There. Now to sit back and wait for the money and accolades. 

My special guest this week is Tom McHenry! Tom makes comics that I think are definitive texts about the banalities of existing on this world with other people. It is definitely your thing.

Blade: Trinity (2004)
Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)
Unsane (2018)

I’ve been thinking about aliens lately and how a story about aliens is at the same time kind of narcissistic but also about how small and insignificant we are and I think that’s kind of cool? Anyway, I’m back this week with Kyle Amato, a nice stranger that I met on the internet. He also runs Hawke Cast, the podcast about Ethan Hawke!
