Beau is Afraid. There was a story about somebody seeing an early screening and as the credits rolled screaming "I better not hear a single person fucking clap" and I was in total agreement.

Man, I watched this so much as a kid and now it just seems like a fever dream. Maybe appropriate given the number of viewings while home sick from school.

Correct

What if I told you I'm at Costco and Emeriss is up right now?

I'd guess the latter as stereotypical Valentine stuff is more "dude doing domestic things at home" but maybe an uptick in getting flowers and groceries as well. In either case the answer is to go during executive time.

I think we may have chatted briefly last night but didn't realize it was you due to backlighting in the murder alley. Agree that this was great all around. Lighting design, performance, and tone control between comedy and horror.

Totally ok, I understand! There is a lot going on everywhere, happy to check on when you have the time. :)

@stonkers.bsky.social Hi! I've been trying to get in touch about a stained glass project (DM'd on Aknitomy and here) but hadn't heard back on either. I wanted to make sure it wasn't getting lost in the shuffle, but totally cool if you're swamped or not open for commissions/etc. Thanks!

Seoulmate in Long Beach. Korean Mexican fusion joint run out of a converted Weinerschnitzel that had amazing stuff like bulgogi or spicy chicken burritos, as well as one of the next burgers around just to stunt on area burger joints

It's really excellent. A heads up that a few of the arcs have the potential to absolutely rip your heart out (complimentary).

The best Mexican food comes from an abuela in a little space out back of a gas station

This strikes me as awful enough that it has to be intentional, similar to Omar wearing a tie to court

you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

One notable exception that was really heartening: That One Scene in Wake Up Dead Man that every conversation I've heard about it mentioned is basically a quiet aside from the pyrotechnics of the movie

Star Trek has a pretty consistent optimist future and is pretty 60s, though that isnt pushing the timeline out much

Setting aside the weird pacing problems, you're really going to stan the movie with a trauma dialogue so bad it had to be parodied in its own sequel? Eesh.

Extraneous power consumption while climate change cooks the earth and they contribute to light pollution. May as well just have a nightly burning gasoline trench.

I appreciate the updates! I hadn't heard of aerophagia as a zepbound side effect before, just the sulphur burps. Wild the way that the body can react.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy who is speeding is a good guy who is speeding

There's no rush! It ended up being a lot easier and more comfortable than I thought it would. You got this!

Hell yeah! Happy to chat about my experience if you want a sounding board as you're getting going.

I realize the heresy in terms of maximalist quality, but an air popper being no effort, no cleanup is just so tempting

I like that this works both as an insult and assertion about reality

Picturing this as a wine mom kitchen sign in 14 different cursive fonts

I feel like I am taking crazy pills

this is literally how vampires in the blade movies marked their familiars as covert slaves to evil

My people suffering from discrimination in these trying times

Thanks so much!

I've gotten matching funds from local friends for $270 of the below, but if you want to put some more to the folks at LBCT that would be spiffy. :) www.longbeachcommunitytable.com

Hazarding a guess: after a pretty short period the studio gets less of a cut of theatrical releases so they have less of an incentive to keep it there. The streaming side wants it as content so they're pushing to bring it online.
