i was going to say that im too hinged for this but I actually have one: most introductions to works of fiction should be afterwords!!! don't talk about the shit that happens in the book, I haven't read it yet!!

I would simply never post any opinions that would result in people pointing swords at me

“What unpopular opinion would get you cancelled” is not engagement bait, it’s entrapment

My actually unhinged opinions are way too batshit to share publicly

Posts from @orionjack.bsky.social and @weinberg.social got me once again thinking about my favorite worst movie, ALLIGATOR (1980)

Third time i saw it was with a group of friends, and my wife made us rewind and replay this shot three times because she thought the alligator blinking its nictitating membrane was so adorable

That swimming pool scene is one of the signs that this film has no moral center (complimentary). Just utterly psychopathic about who dies and who is spared. Kid? Dead. Dog? Dead.

fwiw “so many” is probably only three, but that’s two more than should be expected

Why do I love this stupid movie? Why have I seen it so many times?

The real bummer is that I want to like Denzel but he's been in two of the most disappointing stinkers I've seen (Ricochet and John Q) and that dampens my expectations when I see him billed

First one I saw

Private First Class Peterson (Denzel Washington) defiantly faces Captain Davenport (Howard Rollins Jr, offscreen) as Corporal Cobb (David Alan Grier) looks down sheepishly behind him. From A SOLDIER'S STORY (1984)

I forgot that he rhymes "Yom Kippur" with "had to slip her"

Good thread (naturally, Guy is all about good threads) but this part here is really critical. One of the great lies of the internet is that everybody who makes stuff could now just sell things directly to their customers. And it’s narrowly true! But now you’ve become all those middle men you cut out

This is how a $45 shirt becomes $90 and then $180. This 2x multiplying through the chain is called keystone pricing.

So why can't the brand just sell it to a consumer for $90, cutting out the retail markup? Because if they become a retailer, they will need to raise prices to cover their new costs.

One of my signs of getting older is the number of times I've had to put a bottle in the fridge because I couldn't finish it in one setting

also an awkward cut after the instrumental break to get it under 3 minutes

I love how when a Pokemon gets its health down to zero it has "fainted." Like not even knocked out, just this passive thing that happens to you

I never finished working on this so it's got a lot of rough spots, but here's my mashup tribute to Geoff Downes, Video Killed the Heat of the Moment

It's like how they keep trying to paint Ilhan Omar as this radical foreign terrorist and then they show a picture of, in the words of @louisathelast.bsky.social , her cute little cinnamon bun face
