I'm really starting to tire of The Joe Rogan Experience. I've been a listener for years but this recent patch where he's going on about nothing but hunting, archery and the problems with veganism is really repetitive. I'm not sure if it's worse when he's talking about it to people like Sam Harris and Alison Rosen, who

No they don't.

I got it for my Kindle at Christmas then when I saw it was 900 pages I didn't go near it.

Wind Pinball (New translations of Hear The Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973) by Haruki Murakami: In light of Strangers on a Train and how much it feels like a first novel, It seems that Murakami came into the world fully formed. Both stories here are immediately recognisable as him in every aspect - I don't know how much

Even by the standards of 2016, this one is particularly sad.

It's a little like The Matrix being the basis for The Red Pill movement, even though the film is 100% anti that in every aspect.

Joke's on you; I've never and will never have a best summer ever.

Stupidly, not the preamble. I started by wanting to know how such an obviously terrible movie could start promisingly.

I skipped this when it was on Mubi because I saw too many people saying they got high and watched this and woah man it's so trippy etc.

I enjoyed Cop Car quite a but so it's a shame to see Jon Watts making Eli Roth movies. I this the fate for indie filmmakers who don't get handpicked to middle manage a major franchise after making a quirky, small indie?

The only candid image I think I've ever paid attention to is this unreasonably large photo of Amanda Seyfried shopping in Whole Foods. Seeing it come up as an autocomplete made me wonder if here was some kind of special context around it but I like it because it's so pointless in every way and then she's looking right

The opening scene of Speed Racer is the best opening of any movie in this millennium.

His idea about writing a novel that was incredibly sad and ending up writing something that was hilarious, as well as incredibly sad, fits my exact emotional range.

Alex is short for Aloysius Ambrose.

I definitely give Toy Story 3 a pass because the film's plot is derivative of other Pixar films, including Toy Story 2, yet it's just so enjoyable to hang out with Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang again that it's worth it. I almost wish it was nothing more than an Altman-esque hangout movie in Andy's bedroom.

Does Ryan O'Neal have the saddest face committed to film in this movie? Every single moment he's on screen, it seems like he's about to burst into tears.

If it wasn't painfully obvious already, The Hateful Eight confirmed that he might watch a lot of movies but he has no understanding of them. It failed as a western and as a whodunit while also being so lousy with references that you knew exactly what he was shooting for and missing spectacularly. Kurt Russell's She

But if you dub it a golden age, nobody notices.

Will tech take just one day off from being the most obnoxious industry on Earth, please?
