I know he was thinking more about TV, but I’m amazed at how well he predicted what the internet would do to our brains

Shit, thanks. I knew there was something I was supposed to remember remember

Idk if you know the Zatoichi movies but there’s a couple dozen of those and they’re mostly like 83 minutes long + extremely awesome

It’s just that, while I have a syntactic understanding of the jokes, I lack a semantic one.

Too much time left for Pittsburgh if you score the TD

Up there with Far Side and books of 80s Letterman top 10 lists as things that frequently made me ask my dad, “Why is this funny?”

They should give you time in lieu for that

We would also accept Grosse Fesse

My most consistently favourite Coens movie. Eminently watchable.

The Ooze

A bright orange Zojirushi thermos and a well-worn water bottle on a desk in front of a computer monitor in a typical office.

Always the Zoji when in the office (it is full of black coffee).

Are you a Skatteboliever?

I love that a couple plays after they took him out the camera panned over the sideline and he was still doing the crazy guy head twitch eye blink thing.

Hell yeah, great job

We are stabbing a man in the dead of winter to watch steam rise from his wounds

Ah, October 3rd, a date everyone remembers as being central to that immensely popular media product: Pafko at the Wall.

That’s lovely. Never heard the record, look forward to diving in.

I wonder if seeing this right out of Vichy France felt a bit like seeing OBAA last week.

My favourite part of seeing that in a small theatre was during the silent montage of crosses, when an old woman said very loudly to her husband, “They’re just wasting time!” before they both left.

Always been kind of an Ibi Dreams of Pavement guy, myself.

Huh.

I frequently mutter, “Behind a picture frame you can find bullets,” to myself while tidying.

Just reread that a couple months ago! Strongly considering revisiting Libra rn. It’s either him or Barthelme for my personal GOAT.

All-timer

My best one yet. Trying to keep everything under 10% and I really thought I was cookin with Jeff Garcia.

So fucking good. I love how they did him up like Roger Stone. Also, the Bedford Forrest Medal of Honor got a legit guffaw out of me.

Really liked One Battle After Another. The one part that confused me was when the kid who scanned my ticket told me he liked my phone. What was that about?

To my great shame, I used to be the latter type. Very much a reaction to having to confront/think about my actions and not wanting to. Was briefly the former until settling down (still vegan; keep to myself about it mostly).

Love that I’m having a slow enough workday that I knew exactly what the quoted post was after the block.
