Scott, have you looked into this? You can just let it know what you want to say about those silly movies you like and it literally writes the book for you! You don't have to even think about them or watch them!

Went to grab a snack and realized I'd already bagged them all up and put them in the rental for the move tomorrow. Why do I have to be so efficient?

I liked it. It was the first film where I got the appeal of Butler. Great cat movie too. I didn't know that Aronofsky had it in him to just do something, you know, fun.

I feel like he's just another symptom of a disease I've been seeing a lot more since the pandemic where people talk in real life like they're talking shit online anonymously. It has greatly accelerated with Tr*mp staffing the federal government with nothing but shit-posters.

I like that the trailer for the final season of The Boys focuses on its screwed up heroes and not so much the supes. Feel like that's where the show lost its way a little bit the last couple of years. All the Homelander becoming an unstoppable force of pure evil stuff got pretty damned depressing.

Look, WB, if I needed to, I could probably scrape together around 15k from my retirement accounts if you’re still open for business. If pushed, I suppose I could take out a modest loan to bump that up to around 20k. I promise I’d treat your legacy properties with dignity.

I'm not gonna lie, I've said the same thing about Shudder originals. I know it's kind of apples and oranges, but I'm not gonna make a special trip to see CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD. But I am hoping Johnson's new one is still playing in theaters when I get back to Chicago.

It's amusing to me that the only people responding to this post want to explain to me how Netflix's business plan is clearly superior because they have all the money.

I truly hate the financial grind mindset.

And it wasn't just makeup or cosmetic surgery. It was clearly never having to live a stressful day in their life. Having the time to get well-rested. Having the money to properly take care of their health. Having the time to go to the gym on a regular basis. Etc.

My best friend and I played tennis on public courts all over Chicago. One time, one of his friends who was housesitting at a luxury private development invited us over to play on their courts.

It was shocking. We sat there after playing going "are these people beautiful just because they're rich?"

So, hey...Hi, Netflix bigwigs. I'd just like to bring to your attention how little money it takes to press DVDs/Blu-rays of catalog Warner Bros. titles. In fact, they made a tidy profit off doing that for several years before you came sniffing around. Since I know you're fond of easy money...
