I love listening to podcasts but have little interest in video content because I enjoy imagining what they’re talking about more than I would enjoy watching them talk about it. I also don’t have any problem with the mass pivot to video, it’s just not for me.

Luna loves watching movies. Here she is entranced by 28 Years Later. Might be time to start using her Letterboxd account again.

Looking for super fans of Eminem, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé. I'm talking people who have gone to EXTREMES in the name of their fandom (or, shall I say, standom).

If I could go back in time to any year, I'd go to 2006 so I could watch Idiocracy when it was still funny.

Another time, a baby started crying during Kill Bill Vol. 2 and a guy yelled, “WHAT KIND OF MONSTER BRINGS A BABY TO A TARANTINO MOVIE?”

Apologies to @brittimaginary.bsky.social as I walk around whistling the theme song for the next week or so.

The Naked Gun was all the right kind of stupid. Absolutely hilarious, I laughed, I cried, I cried because I was laughing. See it in theaters so we get more screwball comedies!

And Grace is always so thoughtful in her reviews, she wasn’t cruel about any of it.

Thank you, I'll give it a look! (*Also, I am pro-self-promo when it comes to writing!*)

I definitely love the idea of having it rebuilt, but I just don't have tons of time to work on it. It'll most likely just happen in little bits at a time and will be more curated, as it should be at this point.
