Dude was calling Trump “Daddy”, saying he’d give us all “a much needed spanking.” That was 18 months ago.
The Onion!Infowars Store having both a "turn your piss into gold" and a "turn your gold into piss" product currently "sold out" is an extremely good bit.
I too was checking my watch a lot during Project Hail Mary. This is a breezy read with some good points but I'd be interested in digging more into how some movies totally earn their long runtimes. Like, what's the x factor there.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"
Relatedly, Jude Law hadn't been invented yet when this happened but they tried their best.

All you Dem MFs running in the midterms, you can't point to polling anymore as your reason for being wishy-washy on this right here. So we'll know damn well where your bread is buttered if you do

I wrote an essay for Criterion about "Corporate Thrillers," including Wall Street, The Devil's Advocate, Disclosure, Michael Clayton, and more

Dave Mathews in a keffiyeh holding up signs that say STOP THE GENOCIDE and STOP KILLING CHILDREN at a concert
This is not a knock on DMB but if you had told me twenty years ago that Dave Mathews would be this outspoken on an issue that Radiohead completely shat the bed on, well... I would've been surprised!
