Things I love: movies, physical media, spooky season, clean water, healthy forests, fresh bread and cheese, equality, funding social services. Caring is radical. You should try it!

I have no idea why it seems to be happening to younger people, but both my best friends got it in their 40s. I got both does of the vaccination pronto.

Who are you, Janusz KamiΕ„ski? 1080p is great.

3 looks the most life-like but 4 is the one I'd put on my wall. :)

They look so similar. So cute!

Definitely the royalty of the back yard birds here. (And chickadees seem like little cat burglars... they are so small and just swoop in, take one seed, and leave.)

I don't know why, but we've taken to calling them lady cardinals at our house. Seems respectful. lol

I was probably ten when it came out on video and remember laughing my head off. I don't expect it will have aged particularly well. lol

Is that the one with "What the fuck is a Chinese downhill?"

After the way the studios behaved during the strike, I'm not exactly the fan I once was but in this case, I hope Paramount sues the pants off them. Also: making enemies with Tom Cruise is insane. Give me coconut cakes, not AI.

I kind of couldn't believe that they were actually just going for it. I had tears in my eyes SEVERAL times and I really do think that for people who grew up with it, it hits hard. Joy isn't in abundance these days, so it felt extra special.

I laughed. I cried. It was so joyful and fun.

Unless you played California Games on an Atari Lynx.

Yeah, just had the first on Prime here and it was such a pleasant surprise. Gotta love Gerry!

This vile things this guy says on a regular basis blow my mind. How can he have friends or a partner who respects him? It's like every bad American impulse somehow became sentient and was given a crappy, blue suit. I loathe him.

Not releasing in theatres in Canada, which is sad. Enjoy it! (The movie, not the country.)

Had a blast with it and am very impatiently waiting for it to drop on 4K in February.

Agreed. I’d stand by his decision and I think it would secretly tickle me to learn what those reasons were.

I’m tall so I have a bit of physical presence but I’m such an introvert that I doubt I’d actually register for celebrities. I’d be no different than a doorman, which is totally fine. But if I had to choose, I think Tarantino and I would loathe each other (as much as I’ve loved some of his work).

It's been taken down, but this sort of thing boils my blood.

My family wonders why I'm so loud about genAI, because they find it cute. GenAI feeds on the IP of real, hardworking artists in order to produce mass amounts of crap.

Glad the thing was suspended at least. Keep being loud, folks.

Does Adobe get some blame here? Trying to think of a widespread starting point here and not being able to buy Photoshop seems like the first in my own experience.

The strike did irreparable harm to the studios. Downright villainous stuff. I’m still a sucker and pay for some streaming and love physical media, but I’m no longer in the β€œyou wouldn’t steal a car” camp I grew up in.

Even the tape deck with its little digital EQ is fantastic. Fuzzy blue interior and gorgeous seats. Wish they showed the pop-ups popping in the video. But yeah, that deserves to be driven with pride. What a car.

Welp I was in a bike accident and my body is messed up. My helmet saved my life. I have a mild concussion, rotator cuff injury and very gnarly & painful bruising on my hip. I can't work for a few weeks, so if you've ever thought about sending me $ or joining my Patreon, now is a really good time πŸ™

Agreed. I was hoping for a meteor strike not long ago and yet felt downright hopeful leaving the theatre. Movies are the best.
