Hailey, It Happens

As a Bostonian who hates Portnoy and a casual wrestling fan who can’t stand McAfee, I am sadly acquainted with 2/3 of those losers

This is a joke for a niche audience…that I am a part of.

Those two songs are very weak but tbh the rest is quite good. An album about it being fine to just be fine, played straight as an arrow. Swinging for a double and smoking it right into the gap.

Friends and I had to put in work to see The Asthenic Syndrome a decade or so ago.

The world would be a better place if she had kept exploring her Prince fixation.

The Night of the Hunter, too…

This fucking hit for me. A+

Groove so funky it feels like it’s gonna hurt somebody.

The sooner you get introduce them to the joy of Remembering Some Guys, the more likely they can be saved.

The American Beethoven.

And that doesn’t even include what may be Skunk Baxter’s greatest solo on “How Do the Fools Survive”! That album is an embarrassment of riches.

She got pinned down at the peachy pit.

I once got into a whole argument with a buddy that the ending took the perfectly calibrated satire and notched it up just a hair too far…I have never been more incorrect about anything in my whole life

Annnnnnnd now I’m putting on Black Orpheus again

Was so excited when I loved The Enemy Below to read it was a direct influence on Wrath of Khan

My wife, a crisis clinician and social worker who is one year of payments away, being able to have her debt forgiven is absolutely the deciding factor in whether we will ever be able to own a house. Not looking great.

Been watching One Potato, Two Potato have we?

One of the more brutal deaths I’ve ever seen in a movie.

@christopherrennie.bsky.social “Good movie. And they all deserved it. Mary, Timothy, and Donal…what the FUCK?!?”

I assume some of those interests included “being able to afford regular meals”

1. Taking a nap with the windows open on a breezy September day
2. Perfectly organizing your desktop
3. When your dog freaks out with excitement that you’re home
4. The little crackle when the needle hits the record before the music starts.
5. All the parts of dinner finishing cooking at once

If you’re going back out of the city my cheat code was always walking 20 minutes to Back Bay and catching the Orange Line directly. Nice stroll, and no crowded, smelly Kenmore

And it was borderline to begin with

Gonna buy a flag just to fly it fully and then take it back down after

Son of a bitch, “shame as it ever was” is a perfect turn of phrase, even by your high standard.

Seriously what happened to her?!?

Aw I think The Rocker is actually pretty charming and a was pleasantly surprised by it. It’s the same director as The Full Monty!
