My uncle once said, I don’t like modern basketball because the players don’t dribble like they used to. They carry the ball instead of slapping it at high speed with a completely flat hand, in the manner of Stanley from the “Basketball” episode of the Office.

A sign of personal growth is, when you are willing to do stuff that you used to be ashamed of doing.

Old folks are always saying “back in my day.” But that doesn’t matter now because their time has ended.

Why wasn’t I invited to this years met gala? Maybe it was because the organizers don’t know I even exist 😤

I am a creative writer who loves doing good deeds.

I am a nurturing pet-lover who eats pork chops every day.

I am a large, republican orthodontist who is capable of anything I put my mind to.

-There’s a rat in our friends group. Is it you?

-I’m not the rat but I agree that *someone* is the rat.

-Thanks for telling me. When I find the real rat I’m going to attack it with violent force.

I was hoping that the British royal navy would be able to recover the RMS TITANIC from the ocean floor and get it back in working order by April 26 2025, but I’m starting to worry that it might not be ready by that date. Fingers crossed.

The Dark Knight is truly one of the best movie titles ever, because it has two meanings. The dark KNIGHT, aka Batman himself, but also the dark NIGHT, meaning, the time of day when it is dark because the sun has gone down, and there aren’t that many lights on.

I like the letterboxd app, but the taglines in each movie’s info page are an abomination. Truly the worst and most
Embarrassing tag lines I’ve ever seen. I don’t know, but I bet the tag line for The Dark Knight is something like, “The Joker Has Risen! A New Crime Boss Rules Gotham. Can Batman win?”

If somebody doesn’t respond to my text message, I text them the French word for respond, “respondez!”, every hour for 6 hours, and if they *still* haven’t responded at the end of the 6 hours I stop doing that.

I have combated the stiff bristled warthog in the shadowy forest of the mind, and i have spilled its copious blood, and I have triumphed over every obstacle that the LIBRERALS have strewn in my path through their arrogance and carelessness.

Physical athleticism can be measured by how efficiently and explosively, and how precisely, a person moves.

Mental intelligence can be measured by how good your memory is, and how much stuff you understand, and how much knowledge you have.

Philosophy is the highest form of expression because only a few people can understand it. The second highest form? It’s sculptures.

And way down at the bottom is movies because they are pure entertainment. No intellectual value.

Everyone is trying to be funny. Some people succeed, many fail. And the earth keeps spinning.

Getting angry and yelling at people, or at least being abrupt and short with them, can sometimes be healthy.

This statement is false. You should always be nice to people even if they commit what seems like an injustice, since they probably had a good reason for doing so, like they wanted to.

The other day I was driving alone in my car and I said out loud to no one, “Your opinions about movies are uninformed, wrongheaded, and they demonstrate a lack of respect for the medium of film and for the arts in general.”

I was talking to my self.

The nonsensical decision to add 10 Mickey’s to the film version of Mickey 17, which is baaed on the book Mickey *7* is giving me a lot of trouble. Why would they change the number instead of keeping everything the same. It doesn’t make sense.

I’ve just learned that Mickey 17 is based on a book called Mickey 7. I will not be seeing the film because I don’t think they had a good reason to make this alteration. NONSENSICAL!!!!! I’m working later so lemme know

Video games are the highest form of art, because they are interactive. Movies and literature are lower down, and music is at the bottom of the list because it doesn’t have lyrics.

I’m writing a series of fantasy novels that take place in the fictitious realm of Westfalia. Hold a minute, I have decided to stop writing them. It is time for me to pursue other hobbies.

The dark knight is a great film but I would’ve loved to get more of the joker’s back story and to learn more about some of his allies.

And the Oscar goes to…Anora.

But I don’t think it should have. They should have given it to Citizen Kane instead. Perhaps the greatest film ever made.

Fans of the Star Wars series usually fast forward through the sections that feature the vile gangster Jabba The Hut. They don’t want to implicitly condone Jabba’s behavior by watching that part of the movie.

At the end of Cuckoos Nest the chief reveals to Jack nicholson’s character that he feels like he’s “as big as a damn mountain.” This is great because it means the chief is acknowledging that he’s a very tall man.

But I don’t think it should have. They don’t call her Anora that often in the movie they mostly call her Annie. Sean baker must return the awards he received for this mis-titled film.

Anora? Give me a break. All the characters call her Annie. Movie should have been called Annie. Bad filmmaking.

Yes I saw the brutalist, thought it was utter garbage. Would have been better if there were a lot of big dogs running around in it,
