Hasturtium

Waving red flags:
“We’re a big dysfunctional family” = boundary issues, expect to be manipulated
“We work hard, we play hard” = your work-life balance does not exist, also we want you to drink at social functions

IEOH ISLAND - ***.5/**** Jesus. I wasn't really ready.

Love it, and how his abrupt death suddenly tells you this won’t be too much like its forebear. Absolutely studded with Stephen King Easter eggs, too.

I kinda wish it had gone harder.

Watched Netflix’s TRAINWRECK: POOP CRUISE, and am I off base for wishing there was more there than “it lasted for days and we had to poop in bags”? Also the weird way every guest went out of their way to say “go number two” when the rest of the doc was replete with people lamenting shit? Lame.

I’m so fucking tired of hearing about tax cuts man. Tax me at 50% if it means I get free healthcare, free public transportation with high speed rail, free universal pre k and school lunches, and free college tuition. I want to live in an actual society. Not hoard money like a selfish cunt.

That entire movie felt like a fever dream. I also can’t be the only one who imagined that as he grew elderly and shrunk he must have had absolutely horrifying shits.

I kind of like this stupid movie, in a way not terribly disconnected from why I like SPACEBALLS.

Eye-scorching, ridiculous, successful camp.

After hearing she was thrown out of an Alamo Drafthouse for using her phone this is par for the course

Sitting here wondering, “do I even mention SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE? Did that actually happen? Is Walter going to block me?”

I think the indie dev explosion and time passing allowed clever people to figure out how to make stuff good enough to pay for, instead of the gaggle of teens and early twenty-somethings eager to subvert products presented as earnest kid stuff and leaning on mean-spirited bullshit to carry the day.

I dunno about best, but my dad sharing CHEECH AND CHONG’S NEXT MOVIE and AIRPLANE! with me as a teenager meant more than I ever got to tell him.

I know an artist is more than their art, but “from BARBARELLA to MONSTER-IN-LAW” is still a harrowing descent

I’ve never seen it but Roger Ebert’s excoriation of it is one for the ages.

I’m bothered by Richard Matheson’s name being on the screenplay for JAWS 3-D. Between that and his being 1 of 3 credited writers on NIGHT OF THE EAGLE, like, what *happened*?

Also I followed you on Twitter a jillion years ago, and hope aside from our shared existential mudslide that you’re well.

I remain disgusted that this sort of empty spectacle dick swinging nonsense happened in America in my lifetime, but will admit that seeing this dumb fuck so wretched and despondent as he suffers thru such crushing humiliation on the worst birthday of his life is, yeah, somewhat comforting

I keep thinking about that post since you made it. You're going to drive me to watch JAWS 4 for the first time in close to thirty years.

On top of him being gross as hell it's visceral in a way the rest of the movie's too schticky to ever indulge in. How he kicks off made me howl as a kid.

It works very well in its corny
groove. I’m amused that my son was onboard for everything but Pizza the Hutt, which made him genuinely uncomfortable.

The anti-THE MONKEY.

God, what a great dog.
