My big conspiracy is that due to our overall systemic decline in both cultural literacy and actual literacy we have spawned a generation of people who donโ€™t even know how to get horny anymore

Here's the deal, Ben:
you need me to get us from scene five to six and I'll come up with seven ways trying to find eight that suck. And when I go over precisely why none of these work I might suddenly realize what WOULD work, and perfectly. Suddenly my ninth attempt is a 10.
...let's see AI do that.

I wish I could remember who I got on this train back on Twitter like...over 5 years ago maybe? It's been a minute. But they did these flicks together after seeing me babble about it and had one hell of a great time too๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ which is what it's all about

Sometimes it's just an accident, you know? You put two things together and they just...work.
Well, I have realized that when I want a guaranteed 100% effective dose of badassery all I gotta do is watch DEEP RISING and THE HIDDEN back to back in whatever order I want and I am taken care of.

came out to the front room to throw the movie on and JACKIE BROWN was playing so guess what just got watched until the credits are rolling and "Across 110th St" is playing

Its entire run was while I was in high school, which was somewhat perfect timing if we are being honest about it

I already have the perfect second movie to enjoy as a killer double feature tonight but during a brief intermission we will be spinning some Herbie Hancock on the new stereo, as is only right and proper

I don't know what else I am supposed to think of, looking at that

never watched the (superb) Dean Cundey interview on this one โ€“ did you know he was the second unit director on this? โ€“ and man, did we get lucky to be around when this guy was working on movies and telling us about it

can you imagine half-assing a last-minute ceasefire that won't last a week and still not getting the Nobel Peace Prize

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

And the next song is like Testament doing Iron Maiden or something? And yeah it rules too? I mean. It's called "Nature Of The Beast"

Holy shit "Witch Hunt" is both very clearly Testament but also the closest they have come to classic rock? And it is fucking SPITTING FIRE
