I like physical media, I'm blessed to live in a city that still has a couple of cool video stores, I check discs out from the library. People mostly just miss being teenagers
(And it’s free, for now)
There are services like Pluto TV that can help fill that gap. It’s nice to throw on the Godzilla channel or whatever as background while I’m working
between this and his Amazon gig he's not staying in Charlotte much longer
He also seems to be a big Lakers / Luka fan
Anyway I finally got curious and after a bit of googling it looks like my doppleganger is producer for very odd-looking fantasy movies on Polish Netflix
Toy Wars was written by a sci-if/fantasy guy named Andrzej Ziemiański who seems fun.
A guy with a very Polish version of my name (basically the same but with three more Zs and a zewski added to the end) gave them the wrong email address way back and has no idea he now owes them 586.20 PLN (around $160) for this book
Small thread: my last name is Polish (or was before half of it was chopped off at Ellis Island), and for the last three or four years I’ve been getting regular updates from the Warsaw Public Library about an extremely overdue book — TOY WARS
We got a fancy new couch and it always looks like my cat is about to call me in for a meeting to fire me
I think that's a big part of it. Probably also just a scale thing, the audience for the NFL is so huge you can cater to the nerd niche and still do numbers
visiting family and have had to explain who Charlie Kirk was a half-dozen times this week. Jealous
You can feel the genuine frustration that after days of the culture warriors gearing up for civil war the killer was revealed as Your Weird Nephew

WHATTA MOVIE

Crawled into a hole in my head and wouldn't leave me alone until I made it everyone else's problem (hence the link)

Ken's got it right — the Gordy material is pivotal to the film's impact
I think he’s continuing the boxing metaphor
I drive past a place all the time called EAT FIRST. Didn't know a restaurant could have low self-esteem
Checkers will forever have the funniest slogan I've ever heard. Just a defeated shrug, admitting a dreadful quality of product, but pulling you in with the undeniable and everlasting human necessity of eating.
Before I had brain surgery, I made a joke with my family about contacting Make-A-Wish and having Derek Jeter visit. Apparently once I woke up, blitzed out of my mind in recovery, I was yelling “Where’s Derek!!” at all the nurses for like an hour
For instance, a teacher could conjure up a movie DVD about A Bug’s Life!
This genre of videos is so weird, I have never watched one of them and yet the algorithm keeps serving me up increasing hallucinatory combinations
