for better or worse it has all the trappings you'd expect of post-Scream stuff but other than its first act being suspenseless it's a damn classic and very inventive. great flick

no clue about restock schedule for that specific card, but I have had good luck with B&H's automated restock emails. for whatever reason they seem less prone to immediately selling out than Best Buy and others, great customer service too.

the number of times a tomato has made a sandwich worse vs the times a tomato has improved a sandwich.... a colossal gap

that old adage that's like "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" but applied to sandwich shops and their choice in tomato quality

the napkin math on what she is promising here makes it especially hilarious. even if there are only 2000 people under her purview--seems like a stretch, since CBS News employs like 10k+ people--doing a 5 minute review of each person's role and a 5 minute 1x1 chat would take about 400 full work days

this kind of baseless allusion to "critics say" or "some say" is so rampant in modern journalism and criticism, and it seems like a pretty fundamental thing to avoid for basically any genre of writing. it's not evidence, it's a vibe you're adding from personal anecdotes if not making up wholecloth.

It's not hard to figure out why Cash never got the same respect for his writing that Dylan (or Paul Simon or Bruce Springsteen) did. He sang country music, which
"serious" critics treat the same way they treat horror and comedy—as a lesser genre, entertaining but basic.
He was never counterculturally cool, and he could seem a little square. He was deeply Christian and unashamedly patriotic.
