…again?

I think Hamnet counts as one. There’s the plot, but it’s about so much more than that, it’s beautiful to look at, and it breathes. It felt like something I haven’t seen before, even though you could point to elements that have been tropes since, well, Shakespeare.

Yes, even more so because it’s clear The Onion is Bluesky-pilled (🫡 Tim Onion)

Having special effects stick with what they can pull off, and making sure they pull it off, is an underrated filmmaking skill.

Hey my dad used to call those rats with wings. So. Watch your lobster roll.

OH MY GOD it’s been so nice with Startleet Academy that they’re finally showing things *after* all of the other shows & movies

Wow bragging about having a sleep rhythm

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

If you haven’t watched it yet, I recommend Rachel Maddow’s “follow the money” segment she did a couple days after it all started. It’s really the only explanation that holds together - Saudi Arabia paid Jared so his father in law would bomb Iran

(Jared was even one of the “negotiators” days before)

Tatum!!

Oh we’re back

On my feed they’ve just been showing Adebayo getting 83 points

This asshat contacted me too, when I innocently told him that Cuban doesn’t even follow him he said “everyone has to start somewhere!”

I immediately game him my home address and ssn

It’s amazing the “is he actually ok?” moments I had completely forgotten about already. Has anyone said anything about his fever dream hospital ship tweet? Or is the whole admin just doing the “ok grandma, let’s get you to bed” meme?

Was this kind of style adapted from live action plays or slapstick vaudeville schticks, or was this its own thing, made especially for film? I'm just not that familiar the evolution of the industry at that point, the oldest film I know well is Hitchcock's The Lodger (1926).

This is what Gen X thought about ourselves

We have been a disappointment

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

Maybe this means someone, somewhere in the leadership of this country will face a consequence? Of any kind??

Two cat butts on the edge of the sink as two cats drink from the faucet (it was very cute, one would drink by letting it run off her head down her face and the other would drink one of the streams that went off the side of her head)

15 years later the calico would HOWL from down the hall in the bathroom until we turned on the faucet. Turned out she was so loud because she was deaf.

It’s true, I lived it

I remember that, such a stupidly political answer that you could kinda convince yourself was mostly correct but GOD DAMN just SAY IT

I’ve followed Bret long enough that I’ve seen him go into detail many times, including locations, equipment, and outtakes. He spends countless hours recording and editing, and I’m sure he doesn’t have time for people that go on the attack without doing any research into what he’s posted before.
