@harryshearer.bsky.social Hey Harry, Firesign archivist Taylor here. Do you still have your script from "How Time Flys"? We want to publish it and we just realized no one ever transcribed it.
Oh for FUCK'S sake XTC, just play the Hollywood Bowl, sell it out for three nights, get it over with, and we'll never bother you again www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXdh...

You hurt yourself skateboarding, you kind of wish it was somewhere cool. "Where'd you get thrashed at? Burnside? Venice Graffiti Pits? Upland Pipeline? Brooklyn Banks?"... I got totaled over at the Evelyn Schiffler Memorial Skate Park, right by the swing sets. youtu.be/q-S5bYkq3h0?... #KyleKinane

Often thought my family were alone in having the entire Value Tales set. A forerunner to the Little People Big Dreams style of kid-friendly biographies, they had the oddest tic; every subject would always have a thematically appropriate imaginary friend. Pasteur's was a talking syringe, I think?
Shout out to The Value of Believing in Yourself: The Louis Pasteur Story for indelibly etching these illustrations in my mind for my entire whole life since like third grade

Soderbergh thought this was the nadir of his career; but in fact two of these films are STONE CLASSICS and the third is a REALLY INTERESTING NEAR-MISS. "Kafka", "King of the Hill" and "The Underneath" coming to 4K & Blu-ray from Imprint Films, Aus., in November: www.blu-ray.com/movies/Direc...
