if you're tired of hearing me talk about the valley, you are going to hate several things I have coming up

I got in an argument with some guy about Licorice Pizza last night where he said nobody who wasn't from the valley could possibly care about this movie?

whereas what I like about the valley movies in general is that they're a specific person's stuff about a specific place and their specific obsessions, which feels rarer and harder to get made than ever

I am jealous mostly? which is why I am making a ten hour podcast about LA in the 70s, 80s and 90s

when I was 21 I also lived at home with my parents (yes in the valley) while trying to start my adult life, I worked as a hostess at Art's Deli and had no idea what to do on any front

the funniest part is Paul Thomas Anderson making a movie about being aimless in one's twenties

but it feels like an admission that he was just sort of faking having control at that point

Licorice Pizza is a movie about reply guys

one of mine just sent a shirtless dancing video with a song he wrote about having a parasocial relationship with me and you know what I admired the chutzpah

I was scared he might take his dick out on screen and then when he didn't I was like "awww," this is also my review of the movie

And Just Like That is so insanely bad it’s kind of impressive

the “getting back out there” plots make no sense without Samantha, the only character whose goal wasn’t to get married and disappear from the social scene

I guess I’ve noticed in real life that people are coming out of last year either 10000 years old or 21 again (or both)

updated to add that John Michael Higgins is so funny on new Saved By The Bell, someone should profile him he's having his Jennifer Coolidge on White Lotus moment

when I first posted this I mentioned Bill & Hiroko's Burgers and suggested Bill & Hiroko had an acrimonious breakup because it became merely Bill's Burgers, have since learned that Bill & Hiroko divorced but are still friends and she helps him on the grill sometimes

"Hiroko Wilcox, a longtime friend of Elwell’s who has worked at the stand with him for more than two decades, was assembling the burgers that Elwell had grilled." yahoo.com/now/surviving-…

@PAPPADEMAS

ever since @PAPPADEMAS said I live in Larry David’s Los Angeles because I always run into people out in the world it has become only more true

if you just treat LA like New York it’s much less alienating I promise

I of course wouldn’t be caught dead in Brentwood however

going to make my friends listen to party rock tonight

I heard “I Gotta Feeling” on KOLA driving back from the valley and laughed like a maniac

10 hours of Fergie’s auto tuned “L’CHAIM”
