I'm still trying to decide exactly how I feel about this movie. I didn't think Jia really creates much of an equivalence between the actions of the different main characters, but from my perspective the first segment had kind of a wish-fulfillment vibe, which registered to me as somewhat of an implicit endorsement of…

I went to a screening of Jia Zhangke's A Touch of Sin tonight. I started writing a review, but then I remembered that I'm terrible at writing and I kind of hate it anyway, so here are my brief thoughts:

No, I refuse to hang in there! You're not my supervisor!

So it seems likely that once I get back from movie-watching the big changeover may have happened. Just in case this is my final post under the old system, with my last breath I curse enemynarwhal!

I never had Channel 1 or Consumer Reports, but I remember really enjoying the junior version of (I think) US News and World Report that we would read every week in third grade.

I haven't seen enough movies this year, but here's my list from Letterboxd:

I'm happy for and envious of you.

I want to make a joke about a funeral for old Disqus, but that just seems tacky. Here's hoping the change in season brings some happier times for you.

But isn't @avclub-85d8ce590ad8981ca2c8286f79f59954:disqus talking about an alternate route? I'm guessing it's something similar to the Bifrost.

H.A.G.S.!

Let's keep saying things we want: a closer friendship with you that includes road trips. Your turn.

They do the same thing on Facebook. I think it's so they have something to do on weekends, and the idea is to post things that might have been missed during the week.

Wow. I just now realized that was Tig Notaro.

The old reach-around.

So with new Disqus, is the oldest-first lifestyle going to die out? I…I don't know what to do. Someone please hold me.
