I mean the emphasis was on the geriatric, as a way to explain the occasional grandma replies i make on politics videos.

Robert Downey Jr in The Gingerbread Man (1998) sitting with his legs crossed but strangely, and no doubt uncomfortably, they also have their right arm wedged like the meat in a sandwich between the two crossed legs.

Also love that the trailer ends with an ad for the comic.

From The Crow, Brandon Lee saying β€œJesus Christ? Stop me if you heard this one: Jesus Christ walks into a hotel, he hands the innkeeper three nails, and he asks...
Can you put me up for the night?”

There’s absolutely some truth to this though obviously not universally so. Florida attracts a crap ton of people who travel for work, airline, rail, wrestlers, carnies, etc because it has no state income tax there for you are paying less for the place you are rarely at.

Incredibly rich sociopaths who can't deal with the world as it is and have to bend it to their will and expectations. Only with bunkers in Hawaii instead of in a volcano. And let's be honest, the volcano bunker would be way cooler.

The Daniel Craig James Bond Era Is The Weirdest Franchise Ever
YouTube video by Patrick (H) Willems The Daniel Craig James Bond Era Is The Weirdest Franchise Ever

I was watching @patrickhwillems.bsky.social's excellent video essay on the Craig Bond films when I suddenly realized that instead of ending up living in the Blade Runner dystopian grunge future I'd always excepted, we've ended up in the Bond villain future.

…. Daniel Day-Lewis has an instagram…?

Honestly dropped 10 cool points.

I like yo picture him between movies taking up weird trades and mastering them.

Him feeding the gram kinda takes away the mystique.

I predict a scenario where someone can’t get ahold of me because I blocked their number 20 years earlier because a politician was using it to ask me for money.
