There's one I see at Parliament and Shuter when I'm walking the dog every morning. The people seem to be looking for something they'll never find.

That's fine! It's fine! I've watched it on big screens and small screens, but I'd never pretend it's the same experience! Because I'm not, you know, a liar!

This is how you get Christopher Nolan to rise from the ocean and lay waste to your city

A great pleasure to visit Shysters, the only hot dog stand run by an IRS lawyer in a suit. Plus, he serves the "correct" hot dog Chicago style.

The original Let's Go Brandon. They think they're being clever and everybody else just suddenly needs to be literally anywhere else.

That’s why you need to identify it as propaganda - they want you to be afraid, but they’re guys you can beat. They’re guys you can chase out of your towns. Believing they’re implementing fascism and not just creating fascism-flavored content gives them power. Call it what it is and you deflate them.

There's a great documentary on the Shout Selects 4K release that basically acknowledges Zemeckis made every third shot ten times more difficult by coming up with some wild idea that he insisted was Hitchcockian but was just really complicated.

Some of them are great, though ...

A screenshot of an email form Netflix where I’ve highlighted the part where they’ve shared the HBO properties they’re excited about. The text reads: 

We recently announced that Netflix will acquire Warner Bros., including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO. This unites our leading entertainment service with Warner Bros.’ iconic stories, bringing some of the world’s most beloved franchises like Harry Potter, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Casablanca, Game of Thrones and the DC Universe together with Stranger Things, Wednesday, Squid Game, Bridgerton and KPop Demon Hunters.

I just got the email from Netflix about the potential sale and I am laughing so hard bc even tho I know it’s not, why does this feel like a burn on WB (you’re not gonna call out The Pitt????)

Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

It’s great that the Finch LRT is finally opening. I just wouldn’t have invited the Grim Reaper to hold the plaque at the launch event.
