Like, real talk guys:

The dead horse complaint about Indy “getting all his defining features in one afternoon”

…does nobody realize that’s a bit? That’s Spielberg winking at us? It’s goofy on purpose?

Nobody gets that Indy’s kind of a cartoon character??

Is it too late to pivot from trying to argue beloved franchises from the 80s were Silly, Actually to simply It’s Okay For Grown-Ups To Enjoy Silly?

“The fridge is so stupid and silly”

Yeah, I know. It’s goofy as fuck. I love it for that. It’s a feature, not a bug.

Grounded and gritty

24-hour diners are the barometer of a healthy society

restaurant manager: hey so, sorry to bother you, but is that a service animal? it's just, we have a policy-

jabba the hutt: je wonna wonga, bazda wahota shonga

salacious b crumb: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

restaurant manager: ah. ok. cool

The original cut of ‘77 Star Wars isn’t called ‘A New Hope’ so I’d doubt the packaging would confuse things by referencing that subtitle.

Yeah but all those Americans live in rural areas so thanks to Electoral College math their opinions translate to 90% support. Proper democracy shouldn’t be subject to the tyranny of the majority, you see.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

Wow, you gotta hand it to Mamdani for solving all crime in New York City so fast that the NYPD have nothing better to do but bitch and whine and arrest people over snowball fights.

Pee-Wee would’ve destroyed Lord Bullingdon in an “I know you are but what am I” duel

Michelangelo does a rap on this tape and I have a core memory of getting into an embarrassing argument with my father in the car because he turned it off and explained he “didn’t really enjoy rap” and I was like “but that’s not Ralph, it’s Mike”

🎶Found out about Vigo, the master of evil, try to battle my boys? That's not legal!🎶

Previous distributive technologies succeeded because they were useful, not because a handful of sweaty billionaires jammed them into our lives and expected us to think “this was just like how we had to get used to email and touchscreens” instead of thinking about what we actually need this shit for.

… while lining the pockets of the worst people on the planet.

Social media ended up being really really bad for society

Millennials may never own homes and yet they refuse to simply experience the same cost of housing/living to average wage ratios that existed forty years ago when the author of this article was in his twenties - what’s their fucking deal?

– The Wall Street Journal

Oh my god, the Wall Street Journal is right. I just did the math and I’ve been spending nearly sixty thousand dollars a year on rotisserie chickens. I could’ve been saving for a down payment on a house, what the fuck was I thinking

exuding an air of extravagance and decadence with a rotisserie chicken bag hanging off my shoulder

Why are people who villainize empathy bad at art? Gee, impossible to say.

Trying to remember how that movie ended - oh, right.

Nick Offerman as the POTUS in Civil War (2024) “We are now closer than we have ever been to victory. Some… Some are already calling it the greatest… (CLEARS THROAT) Some are already calling it the greatest victory in the history of mankind.”

Looking forward to watching The Big Game tonight, or as I like to call it, A New Movie Directed By Sam Raimi Playing In A Movie Theater.

Now when you say that, do you consider the codpiece a part of the belt, or

*Lucasfilm in meeting with JW, presenting slides of characters who never got musical themes, hoping he’ll compose them before he retires.

Chewbacca comes up.*

john williams: [mumbling] skip. i dont like this animal. skip it.

Listening to the Return of the Jedi score and once again thinking about how the Ewoks have a leitmotif but Chewbacca doesn’t.

I graduated high school in 2002 so when I get nostalgic for my teens I’m thinking about a time that included 9/11 and the fucking Supreme Court stealing the presidency, sorry to say there’s just always going to be young people being young people no matter what’s happening in the world.
