Mike Tanner is Disappointed in You

I still got it!

Watched the first episode of "I Love LA"....I've never experienced a harder "Im too old to get this" than that half-hour. Its not bad, I'm just not the audience.
I do think "Just Google boobs!" will enter my lexicon though.

Best Friends (1982) ⭐ 5.5 | Comedy, Drama, Romance 1h 56m | PG

If you ever wondered what a mumblecore comedy would have been like if it had 70s sensibilities but made in 1982 and starred two of the biggest stars of that era? Watch... Best Friends starring BURT REYNOLDS and GOLDIE HAWN... it's on Tubi. www.imdb.com/title/tt0083...

I'm a big Creature fan but had never actually seen the third movie "The Creature Walks Among Us" until tonight...a bit too retread-y of the first one in the first act but man, I LOVE the last 15 minutes.

The wildest thing about the Blood Money Comedy Festival is apparently it wasn't that much money. Like the rich comedians doing it aren't that much richer...and the work-a-day comics doing it have said it wasn't life-changing money.

Watching Wrestling with Wregret's review of a bad wrestlers vs aliens movie....one of the wrestlers is name "Jock Holliday" and I immediately thought "Derby name!"

I'm very fancy.

The most WASPy response about bagels I've ever heard and Willem Dafoe's concerned face from The Lighthouse.

Comment on a Nextdoor post about a new bagel shop opening in my town and my reaction.

If either of my two dogs went missing. I could provide 100s of photos in a variety of locations, hair lengths, angles, weather, outfits--I can even include artist interpretations.
No dog owner has only ONE photo. And If you only have a blurry-ass picture of your dog...You didn't deserve that dog.

How to tell if a "lost dog" post is fake?
Photo of the dog is blurry.

Sometimes I'll see old photos and I'm wearing a tshirt and I'll think "Oh damn! I loved that shirt! I remember when I bought it Whatever happened to it?" And I feel a weird sense of loss.

Happy Halloween season to all who celebrate.

I knew today would be good because I saw a crow flying with a whole slice of pizza in its mouth.
If that is not a good omen, I don't know what is.

Anyone over 30.... look up the current Almond Joy jingle. Just go to youtube and search "Almond Joy jingle 2025"....then lose your mind. You will lose your goddamn mind.

My month long ban from NEXTDOOR ends today...do I return and see what fresh hell my neighbors are on about or do I move on?

I'll be at #RCCC this year with 2 panels. Unneccessary Debates returns and Burn After Pitching: Convention Edition is finally getting a fresh go-round. I need a few panelists.
If I know you or we have mutuals--hit me up.
Also, if you know anyone looking for panelists...I am REALLY great on panels.

My parents...who are in their 70s, barely mobile and only one could drive...when I suggested I could get them involved with our local senior center if they moved in with us...said "we're not THAT old."

"FUN" milestone....signed copy of my book ay Value Village.

it's still bunny season in my neighborhood.

JAWS really is the quintessential* 4th of July movie that shows you America. Everyone is stressed out about money and jobs while a giant shark keeps picking us off and it's going to take three people from very different backgrounds in a boat to end this

*Quint-Essential, nice

2nd favorite is when the movie just cuts off before the ending. You get the countdown for the next movie to start--"huh, seems like this movie right now has more than 10 seconds left..."

Favorite thing about watching movies on Tubi is when they start with this 'backstage' info from whatever their streaming version was ripped from.

Where you getting dinner?
-Oh at the food truck on Evergreen between the vape shop and the weed dispensary.
That does not narrow it down.
