A quite frankly alarming amount of you forgot to acknowledge the Balloon Boy anniversary yesterday and that's why this site will never be the new Twitter

I now own two, possibly three, pairs of shorts. This is more than I have owned since the mid to late 90s

I'm still absolutely floored at that Anna Kendrick movie where the main character, the protagonist literally just ups and leaves town/the entire story 20 minutes before it ends

This is one of the reasons I hate movies "based on a true story" so much recently. Real life doesn't have a narrative arc or satisfying conlcusions

It's fascinating how in real life huge stories just don't have an ending at all. Remember the Boeing scandal? Planes falling apart? Dead whistleblowers? Was there some kind of resolution to it? Is it all fine now?

It's like a plot that's just an endless series of inciting incidents

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible

program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named

I. I did that through a mutual friend

of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a

submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the

Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Obviously not an excuse but it’s worth preparing yourself for like every geriatric artist to dabble with this because they’re curious, they want the opportunity to make whatever they can before they kick it, and they will not live to see the consequences
