Lost in Translation (2003). Bob and Charlotte have such "dad and and his daughter humoring his jokes" vibes whereas a young me saw it as devastatingly romantic. Maybe Coppola thought this too since Somewhere is basically the former, and it's a better film for it.

Damn, the leap from Telephono to SoS is huge.
A lot of people in the social justice space power trip on refusing apologies from people who mess up huh
I’d like to know Apple Music’s process for choosing an artist’s “essential albums”. Decided to listen thru Spoon’s discography again and they only count Kill the Moonlight as essential? Out of that miracle run from Series of Sneaks to Ga x 5? Insane.
As someone who’s had double jaw surgery and spent a lot of time on the jaw surgery sub Reddit- the amount of posts from undeveloped 13 year olds asking “am I cooked?” Is alarming.
"How do you live?" "I steal!"- he seethes as he backs into the inky abyss. A gut-punch of an ending.
Paul Muni- what an Actor. "I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang" still hits so fucking hard.
"Legitimacy" (personal and professional) is a recurring theme of De Palma's "Carlito's Way", but also how legitimate institutions like the law enable violence the same way illegitimate institutions (e.g. organized crime) do.
My dad who was very unsentimental would defend Tiger Woods from any sort of ill-talk about him for years and cried when he won the Masters in 2019. I think Bomani Jones called Tiger "Britney Spears for dads", and that's accurate.
Cavé Dwellers
I think the people who made “The Beauty” think it’s anti-incel, but its repeated message seems to be “Hey incel, all your fears and anxieties are based in reality.”
On-the-nose music cues in tv and movies must be stopped.
The death knell of every Expert on social media is when they decide they want to be a pundit.
Someone teach this guy how to smile for the love of god
Went back after a long time not listening for SB discussion and it’s just so bad.
Dan Lebatard’s show is so bad now ugh.
I just want less rapists on my television.
Trying to replicate everything I did twelve years ago when the Seahawks won the first Super Bowl, and it includes watching the Cave Dwellers episode of Mystery Science Theater. Also eating an entire box of Frangos.
Half of the houses on the latest season of "Ugliest Houses in America" are legitimate works of art that they keep telling me are hideous and need to be renovated. Show is washed.
I know, I know, blow jobs are something women and gay men do so it’s weak and humiliating. Shockingly it seems like only straight men say it.
I’m proposing a moratorium on the “I brought you knee pads to blow Trump” thing.
"12 as 1" - Mike MacDonald really know what we want to hear baby
Pretty sure they mean their parent's vehicle or other asset was seized by the government. They probably complained about it to the CA AG's office who told them said asset was possibly used in commission of a crime. They are likening this to police asking a rape victim if they were asking for it.
Every time something big happens my grandmother says we need to watch World News Tonight to "see what David Muir has to say about this." And then I have to explain to her that he just reads the news and doesn't opine about anything. She just thinks he's cute, probably.
Yeah, so, I don’t buy this idea because he’s a rapist. He doesn’t loathe violence.
100 million plus dollars at work here.
Seahawks up 24 with 30 seconds left in the the fourth quarter.
Tom Brady: You know, KB, there's no 24 point play San Francisco can do here to win.
The Smiths being background music on commercial segues in NFL games is incredible, honestly.
I have nightmares about this ep. it's so grotesque.
