Every once in a while Michael Stipe would tell an interviewer that like “Sugar, Sugar” was better than anything on SGT PEPPER and tbh it was inspiring.

Not sure when THE WORLD’S END became the movie I watch around my birthday every year, but it never gets old (even though I unfortunately do).

If anything, the real enemy was the BIG CHILL soundtrack.

The true Gen X stance was to tell your annoyed Boomer aunts and uncles that the Monkees were just as good as the Beatles.

I don’t get the debate here. It definitely wasn’t “cool“ to like the Beatles in the way it was cool to like the Velvet Underground or Big Star but we still liked them. Everyone likes the Beatles.

I would have thought more magicians

No one plays a psycho in a trashy plot better.

I wasn’t thrilled my son dragged me to the new NOW YOU SEE ME but it was a joy watching Rosamund Pike make a twelve-course tasting menu out of the scenery.

No better statement of antifascism than "there will always be someone else" from TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT.

We desperately need a higher class of gossip.

Excited to see how this Mamdani/Trump news cycle plays out

Daly or Rourke? I had to make tough choices to get to four.

To get to four, I cropped out boring guy (Tim Daly) and Mickey Rourke guy (Mickey Rourke)

There are 4 types of guys online. No exceptions (from L to R: Music guy, psycho, sports guy, joke guy)

A headline so good I'll never read the article

Joel is back on social media and posting about the weird sandwich from DAVE.

Shaved carrots? Lemon wedges? Thin slices of green olives? Here you go, Ving Rhames. Enjoy!

But of all these, DAVE was the only one to ask, "what if the President made a weird sandwich?"

Too many writers move to L.A. and contract acute Didion Brain upon arrival.

AMERICAN CANTO is such a great dumb-person title for a book. Like something Sean Pen would call his memoirs.

The Honda Days just don't feel especially happy this year.

The impression needs work, but he's only eleven. I assume none of friends' Bernadette Peters' impressions are polished yet. I need to let him develop his talents at his own pace.

Weird as it seems, some men would not be proud of their 11-year-old son for hearing the word "rutabaga" and immediately launching into a serviceable Bernadette Peters impression from INTO THE WOODS.

JG @JoelGord Saying "hello, Mr. Pocket" in a Tom Waits voice as I dig for caramel in my ice cream.

homer Simpson reading a card and saying "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SURVIVE ON DRY, CRUMBLY MUFFINS FROM... THE GERSH AGENCY."

like share and retweet if this was your only point of reference for the gersh agency before the dasha thing

On p. 115. Love all the cheese stuff.

Upon Sinclair bros finding common cause with Pynchon-heads after years of post-IV resentment.

While offline, did I miss any crazy OBAA discourse? Pynchon heads picketing the premiere, shouting “Where are the thanatoids?” at PTA as he races across the red carpet?

Rainy season is here
