I'm done with this horrible website. Peace out. Kurt at blood knife dot com if you wanna catch up

[Kurt @mechanicalkurt]

@leslieleeiii I'm devastated. I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Leslie was a truly good person and was supportive of me and so many other people in too many ways to count. It was genuinely a privilege to have had the opportunity to work with him. He'll be deeply missed.

[Kurt @mechanicalkurt]

So I'm sorry if I was ever nasty to you. Even if you suck. Peace.

[Kurt @mechanicalkurt]

Cruelty to horrible people is still cruelty, and in the end it hurts you, too. If nothing else, it's unhealthy to walk around all day being angry and looking for opportunities to insult people you don't like.

[Kurt @mechanicalkurt]

I don't want to do or say anything more for the purposes of hurting people's feelings or belittling them. Even people who suck. It really does nothing but make you feel good in the moment, while making you meaner and more anxious and depressed in the long run

[Kurt @mechanicalkurt]

Back very briefly. I just want to say that I really regret the amount of time I spent being sarcastic, ironic, and cruel on here for the purpose of owning people I disliked and getting cheap laughs at the expense of others. It's pointless and was hurting me as a person

[Kurt @mechanicalkurt]

I don't regret the beliefs or feelings that led me to act that way. They were and are sincere. But I didn't realize just how nasty and vicious my mindset had become until I stopped. It really upsets me to think about. I don't think it accomplished a single good thing.

@HitFactoryPod @StolenDans I will break my Twitter silence for Sharpe. Yes I love all those films although there is maybe one or two in the middle that weren't great. And if you like those check out the Horatio Hornblower series they did around 2007 or 2008

Today is Bill Duke’s birthday. If you’re not familiar with his work you should be. A creative force on both sides of the camera, he’s directed many wide ranging projects including A Rage in Harlem, Sister Act 2, and one of the best neo-noir crime films ever, Deep Cover.

In many respects playing a mountain dulcimer is not so different from using a fight stick. You are simply playing the raging demons of the sky and the trees

Started Karate today.
I stood next to a 5yr old little girl on her 1st day. We learned the same steps & the Dojo Kun closing. I am 10x her size, seen horrors in my years I hope she will never even imagine. In that moment we were equal. Never felt such a gracious humility before

[Kurt @mechanicalkurt]

I think the purest and best film criticism can only be done by sitting down for a film you know nothing about whatsoever - no trailers, no interviews, no promos, no reviews, nothing. It happens in the sanctity of your own mind, and is impossible to ever share

@afrocosmist Where's the other four
