Sometimes a little piece of terrible writing gets stuck in my mind.
Everyone was focused on how awful that “100 Greatest Comedies” list was. They were right. It was awful.
I’m stuck on the writer referring to Cleavon Little as a “scene stealer” in BLAZING SADDLES.
He’s the star of the movie.

I can't get over studios having a successful, original *ensemble mystery* franchise on their hands and not caring about making more money off of it. It's not even a question of getting distracted by AI bullshit, it's a six-year-old series!
For that matter, giving this and Wake Up Dead Man actual wide releases, when I saw this in theaters the three days Netflix allowed it to play, the screening was packed.
My big opinion about that movie is that if Hollywood were still functional some executive would’ve slammed a fist down on his desk & shouted, “Put that Janelle Monae in EVERYTHING!”

I rewatched North By Northwest again tonight, a film I adore. Its so much a prototype for action cinema that came since - there’s a lot of Bond and a heck of a lot of Mission Impossible in there. And for all that it sets up, it’s also a remake of Hitchcock’s own 39 Steps.

God damn movies are fucking amazing. Each one is a small miracle and should be treated as such, even the shitty ones that suck. Dozens of people made that shitty movie, they finished it, you’re watching it. Incredible.

I miss when Twitter was truly great like the time a guy got upset at someone calling out a cricket team and started explaining how bowling worked and at the end OP was like "thanks for explaining btw I hold the world record for most career outs in cricket history"

At my funeral I want the priest to read out a long bit about how much I loved darts. I don’t love darts but my family and friends will be like “wow we never really knew him”.

normalise serving chocolate milk at parties
I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).
If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water
Lots of options!

I want a Christmas movie where someone goes back to their home town, meets their ex says, wow, bullet dodged. Now I remember what I hated it here and ho back with renewed love for the partner they were about to dump.
