I need all the cool days I can. Gets hot in these transit garages.

I don't think I've even seen the film version of Romy & Michele.

Chill weeks are the best weeks. Have fun this weekend.

I didn't realize AnimeNEXT was next week. I've got the Saint Paul DFL convention next week. Unfortunately that con is wholly uninterested in comics.

I've been told to read something called Pantheon but I haven't found any copies of it yet. Don't know much about DK3 but I am at least mildly interested.

I tried multiple times to get into Twin Peaks but couldn't so I just gave up. If I keep getting filtered out by the pilot then it's obviously not for me. Just as well. I don't think there's anything I'd personally gain from it. I'd have nothing new or insightful to say or be able to process. Cultural osmosis seems…

I think the only superhero movies in recent years I haven't seen are Deadpool and X-Men: Apocalypse. I just don't think I can ever care that much about Deadpool. And I'm deeply conflicted about Bryan Singer as a person. Everything else I've seen and appreciate on some level because of my possibly unhealthy…

I've not read much with Wonder Woman in it. Any of you mind giving me some recommendations for bests and faves? Underrated and underappreciated stories are most welcome as well.

Heyo!

That's a pretty good comparison now that I think about it.

Structure. He's really good at providing structural support so that the best, or at least the most widely appealing, attributes of the people he works with are able to reach the most people.

Jerry isn't just the comedic punching bag. He's the only person in the family who consistently points out that they live in ridiculous cartoon world and doesn't want to go along with it at all. He's then punished for it. Jerry reflects the cost of recognizing the premise of your own show and then asking everyone to…

Frank Grimes can't be competent in a show like Rick & Morty because then the whole show basically turns into a game of oneupmanship between Jerry and Rick. It essentially becomes a grown-up Invader Zim. In order to maintain the dynamic you have to give Grimes an almost Homer-like intelligence and skillset.

Jerry is the Frank Grimes of Rick & Morty. I think he's sorta underappreciated, but it seems like a lot of viewers are coming around to just how much he adds to the show.

I've not read any of those comics but I've heard good things.

The fact that the adaptation has trashed two scripts that were apparently dynamite in order to focus on a direction for the MCU I was never that interested in was so disappointing. The original run is one of my faves and among my top recs. But it's like the brand only continues to exist to let me down.

Excited for Baby Driver. You got any WW recs?

Good to hear about the forward progress on your writing.

That sounds ridiculously fun. But I'd be so self conscious.

Even attempts in other media have left me cold so far. The movie that nearly got made apparently had a great script but an unexciting director.
