I try not to be a film snob but it's annoying when people are shocked I haven't seen children's film that were released when I was not a child. Like no, I don't think it's weird I haven't seen How To Train Your Dragon, I'm a grownup

You named your pizza company "Tombstone"? Are life and death a joke to you? You're sick in the head

First draft of this post was "yeah October 12 is a rough one" but I thought reminding you that you're cool and fun was more important than dad jokes so you know I'm dead serious.

It's happening.

The Vitamin.

My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am
rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I
am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the
vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all
my problems were caused by this one deficiency

Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate
and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet
you persevered?

Accidentally throwing a corpse out of a window onto the quad would be horrible in real life, but it's funny because all the signifiers of imaginative play are there, all the little things that tell you hey, don't worry, it's not real and we're not even trying to pretend it is, relax, it's just play.

And I think it's because it's so obviously play. Comedic acting mimics life but you don't see it in daily life. Nobody speaks and acts like people in comedies do. Except children, when they do imaginative play. Big gestures, silly voices, nonsense replies, that's basically comedy.

No but I was thinking that just today! I'm watching Community and laughing at a lot of jokes and situations that would be absolutely horrifying if they happened to or near you, just trying to figure out what it was that gives comedy a special place where the brain registers as amusing instead.
