A cashier at Trader Joe's asked me if Nightmare Before Christmas was a Halloween or a Christmas movie, and I almost left without my groceries.

Someone pointed out that I could use my Kermit tattoo as a mood tracker. Crooked smile/swirly eyes feels about right today.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

John Goodman. Also gives me a good chunk of the Coen Brothers.
This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.
I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

I haven't been a practicing Evangelical Christian for years, and it astonishes me that there's not a whole concerned parents' campaign to censor him. About 70-80% of children's programming was forbidden to me growing up because it was "New Age" or "Satanic."
i am not a christian but i have no idea why there isn't some big panic about a guy called "mr. beast" amassing tremendous amounts of fame and influence by literally getting people to do dangerous and degrading things

Also include audio description in this. I queued up The Man Who Invented Christmas last year, interested to hear how they approached the AD, and while the description writing was fine, the voice was AI and felt spooky. That's taking a job from a voice actor and insulting the blind audience.
Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Dishes need doing. Project needs editing. But I’ve done nothing since outreach this afternoon but eat leftovers and watch Christmas specials. Literally need to hear from someone that this is ok.

So this just showed up at my apartment. Now I have to do detective work to figure out who sent it.

Really thought the gym would be sparse the day after Thanksgiving but here I am waiting the length of half a podcast for a deadlift platform to open up.

Puttered around and made me some comfort food. The casserole is Serbian Spinach Prysnac, and the bread is a pogacha.

Cool. So now the trains are closed for the night and I have to walk several blocks through downtown to catch a half-hour bus ride instead of a 14-minute train. This is the other reason I don't go out late at night in LA.
I am officially a Gay of a Certain Age because I agreed to see Wicked: For Good today at 10:15 and then saw the tickets and realized it was PM.

The '84 Carol has long been my fave (Muppets and Magoo follow very, very close), and Collin helps articulate why. While many others simply recite the famous lines and speed through the expected scenes, the GCS version takes the time to feel each moment and give Scrooge's arc texture and life.
This week on the podcast, I'm talking about George C. Scott's take on Scrooge in A Christmas Carol 1984!

I watched this show for a few weeks in the 80s when we had cable because of my dad's job, and the song has never left my head since. youtu.be/U4woSA1Vd3I?...
I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen
