MAD Magazine released an issue containing a record album (back when everyone had record players) with eight spiraled versions of a song “Super Spectacular Day” each with a different ending. You just had to keep playing it to hear them all, which lots of parents REALLY appreciated.
When the movie came out Natasha Lyonne was, reasonably, not on my radar at all. And I wasn’t particularly drawn to a cheerleader protagonist. Now I see her and say “THAT’S Natasha Lyonne?!?” and throughout the movie her undercurrent of humor and vulnerability is amazing. She does so much with just her face and body…

When I saw Crystal Skull’s theater release the motorcycle chase through Marshall College got lots of laughs and even applause. The dodges and misdirects are energetic. The humor from the setting, like the Jock punching Mutt into a Greaser gang or the library students or the Blues Brothers-esque protest, feel like…
Satine may have been a subject better avoided for Bo-Katan and her disparate clans during Mandalorian season 3. The whole New Mandalorian movement was radical and controversial to the point that Bo-Katan moved against her own sister with Death Watch. Obviously she regretted that choice and changed sides but was too…

The Variety interview is on YouTube and quite enjoyable since Lyonne and Lynskey interview each other. I wasn’t familiar with either movie so this sent me down a rabbit hole of finally appreciating But I’m A Cheerleader.
You can eat the ratatouille from Ratatouille. Pixar had Thomas Keller come up with an actual recipe that would have interesting preparation and look attractive. The New York Times published the original recipe but now there are adaptations all over the internet (search “confit byaldi”.)
Mega is quite useful for legitimate gigabyte file transfers. Now that everyone can do digital video I often need it as a virtual thumb drive. It has a good interface and you can set up a drop box link.

Steve Martin says regular applications will make it beautiful.
Because THERE ARE NO NAZIS IN UKRAINE. Shadesof808080 is a Russian bot spouting the same weak propaganda since 2014. That’s why all they have is “here is a logo that resembles a swastika” or “this blurry detail could be a swastika.” If there was a significant Nazi presence in Ukraine with its democratically elected…
It’s hilarious you expect anyone to believe that.
I would not believe ANY metric from Twitter’s petulant child-brain. I’m sure he thinks inventing or inflating numbers is some edgelord genius tactic like not paying rent.
If you think the slide comparisons are effective, you should see the footage from the ground. Ukrainians are out rescuing as many people and animals as they can while the Russians shell them. Flood zones look placid but up close there is gasoline and toxic sewage. Russia’s depravity has no bottom since they never face…
You keep using the word “terrorism.” Terrorism would be making ordinary people suffer. For example, bombarding cities and towns with missiles and drones. Or blowing up a dam and flooding hundreds of miles. Or giving your insurgents SAM missiles that shoot down Malaysian Airlines MH17 killing 298.
In Tolkien’s canon humans “awoke” fully formed without evolution. They haven’t had hundreds of thousands of years to resemble modern ethnicities by eons of migrations. Making any of them specifically white or black or brown is a choice.
I’ve had a lifetime of Howe / Lee / Jackston style Tolkein adaptions with the familiar conceptions of Middle Earth. But what would, say, an artist who grew up in Kenya imagine while reading the books? Or Mumbai, or Santiago, or Jakarta? I’d love to see that.
That sounds wonderful. Even though it will further divide the US population into people who don’t die of viral diseases and unhinged conspiracy lunatics. But that’s on us.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, whatever their personalities, had actual business sense and innovative ideas that paid off. Musk’s public micro management of Twitter shows he’s completely at lost at sea and incapable of coming up with a good idea or recognizing a bad one. He’s not a complicated genius. He’s just an…
If you’re counting Ben Affleck (ie. not actual nuns) you’ve GOT to include Sister Night from Watchmen.
