Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in chains.

I grew up Catholic, and for the first 15+ years of my life I was hell-bent on entering the priesthood. And even now I still have a great appreciation for the purity of faith even though my own beliefs don't align at all.
With that in mind, Wake Up Dead Man really resonated with me. In so many ways.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I wonder if it bothers Tarrantino at all that he's basically a real-life grown-up version of Randal from Clerks?

Watching Dangerous Animals.
I like it, though I keep wavering between wishing the cast was more diverse, and realizing how problematic I'd probably find it if the cast WAS diverse.
Not sure if this says more about me, or society at large.

This heaping pile of trash was filmed in the CT town I grew up in. Which is also, ironically enough, a pile of trash.

Watched House of Dynamite last night.
For me the most terrifying part of that flick was imagining what this scenario would be like under THIS administration, and not the pretend administration where most everyone is intelligent and capable.

I'm always tickled by reviews that state a book/movie/show "doesn't aspire to be anything more than an amusing diversion." As if all art is required to be profound to be appreciated.
News flash, it doesn't.

Two times in my life, I've heard someone who was former military say that "Aliens" was the movie that inspired them to be a soldier.
I've never been able to wrap my head around that.

Just watched Thunderbolts and Superman last night. 5-word review of each.
Thunderbolts - Likable bunch of depressed antiheroes
Superman - No subtlety, I like it

School shootings are horrific and sad and entirely preventable by a culture that just doesn't feel like doing so.
And this kind of maddening coverage is absolutely part of the problem. The fetishization is fucking disgusting.
