I still get chills at the Kill Claudio scene

I sure laughed at the Masochism Tango.

He’s kind of out of his depth but he tries and it is a fun movie

It’s a very good movie if you like German existential voids. And Dennis Hopper.

To be truly great, it needs what Christie Pits has - a minor league baseball team with free admission and beer sales during the game.

Two brilliant characters who are even better together.

It’s favourite, not best. FWD was the second album I ever bought, and I have a nostalgic love for it even though RNS is the better album

“Whatever happened to Fay Wray?
That beautiful satin draped frame”

Dr Franknfurter didn’t live long enough to find out.

I'm not sure I'd even trust it for newt facts.

I was pretty solid on Bible knowledge in my younger pre-atheist days, and I don't remember that story anywhere.

I hope that those indoctrinated kids try to prove the story to be true by finding it in the Bible and get disillusioned in the harshest way.

I could not disagree more.

He looks like he was left unwrapped in the freezer for six months.

Victims of a Star Trek transporter accident, just as Hopper intended.

As long as we're standing against illegal invasions, can we stop Canadian weapons going to Israel?

Yeah, I'll just bump up this one and call it a day.

How about a meeting another tank haunted by the ghost of General Sherman who sets the Haunted Tank on fire?

Every day I’m inspired by the bravery of these courageous ICE agents.

The 1982 recording is a fascinating companion piece as Gould re-records it as a much older man (I actually like it better)

Just finished The Pedicab Driver. Every penny I spend on Criterion is worth it.

I don’t know if I was the one who first bought pads for the young ‘un but as bonding experiences went, it was right up there with buying toothpaste.

It’s against the law to moan low in this country now?

I don’t think he ever fit a role as perfectly as Conan the Barbarian

Take a jar with you when you travel. Steal the liquid soap like you used to steal the bars.

I could only watch mysteries during lockdown because justice being done at the end was very comforting.

When you don't have time to text your wife because you're busy groping the head of HR at a Coldplay concert, but you want it to sound casual and relaxed like nothing weird is going on here, I swear.

It's sad that people who don't deserve the pain that boycotts create will be getting it in the neck, but what tools do I have to make it clear that the orange asshole's annexation talk is unacceptable?

FWIW, every bourbon job that's lost will be replaced by a rye distillery job in Canada.

Also- our favourite auberge was taken over by some corporation and run remotely with no on-site staff. We stayed in a fancy hotel the next time and enjoyed it much more.
