I still say it too! Early brainwashing from being babysat by Grandma. Sometime I’ll even break out obscure turns of phrase from my great-grandma who was literally born in the 1880s.

“All you had to do was pay us enough to live.”—some guy at AWS, probably

Polly Harvey biopic starring WTF woman when?

I think you showed them.

Was it the Chad?

Also the “swim in his tank” thing is just egregious.

This is correct

Would you believe I searched “NASCAR bisexual”?

They did this again tonight and I started to think “Heated Rivalry but with cars,” and then I remembered that 2 Fast 2 Furious already exists.

… and while watching OBAA the first time I thought for a minute we were going to get One Tough Nun.

Imagine watching OBAA and suddenly the Thanatoids show up. Everyone would accuse PTA
of you know dropping the frogs again.

There is also something going on where if many of the missing parts of the novel had been included in the movie they would be regarded as derivative of films that postdate the novel: Kill Bill, Lost in Translation, F&F Tokyo Drift, Shin Godzilla …

Another vote for part catahoula! Not full, muzzle shape is terrierish. Have a good close look at her paws and dewclaws and see what you think while you wait for test results.

Has anybody said the rhododendrons in Last of the Mohicans? (Also: Terrence Malick would NEVER. He was meticulous about sourcing wildlife sounds for The New World, for instance.)

After replying along these lines I saw this. thank you!

Yeah, mediums don’t need cards or other props at all. Tarot was not nearly as trendy when the movie was made as it is now. I think that the most likely explanation here is that those are the cards Billy Bob Thornton’s mother used with her clients, since he based the character on her.

I noticed that for the first time on this watch and wonder if Miles Davis had something to do with that.

Finally started watching Heated Rivalry

Several times this year I have had the feeling that it is truly the book for the moment. I am due for a reread anyway, been denying myself that pleasure too long.

I could probably recite the script for Wonder Boys by heart atp. After seeing OBAA my first thought was that my favorite genre must be movies where the lead wears a bathrobe outdoors.

Spike’s last joint was very “get off my lawn” about rap.

And Ja’s comments during walk-off were pretty clearly about Pat Spencer, not Mr. Thinskin, right? I feel like if he annoys Brevin and Pete enough that they would say what they did, he must be pretty intolerable.

Run hot water on the lid and then knock it with the handle of a butter knife. Which I resent being told when there’s strong arms right across the room but to my chagrin it usually works.

I dashed immediately to Astrodatabank after seeing yesterday’s news and I think that Mamdani’s mercury mars conjunction on the IC in Scorpio is putting in work.

Hizzoner’s Mercury/Mars conjunction on his IC in Scorpio? He is always already talking you through it. That’s where the rizz resides.

Piecing things together… Lizza’s new squeeze moved to DC in 2024. Just read Bao Li’s Substack and he is not taking this well.

Every time he is mentioned I have to watch this m.youtube.com/watch?v=mZmi...

Screwball comedy in the making
