Here’s one fare-evading on Melbourne Public Transport.

I know it’s debatable but i think Jesse Plemons is the new Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

I think you mean Australian, not Austrian.

Australian possums are an invasive species that are decimating NZ forests, so I don’t know why you would take one to a nature preserve.

They make lovely knitwear, though.

“Asghar Farhadi’s Milkshake Duck movie” isn’t a phrase ever thought I would hear, but this sounds really good. If it’s anything like A Separation, then it’s going to give me a lot to think about.

The one good thing about the pandemic.  Being able to identify who's a terrible person with one easy step.  Vaccined or not.

It makes sense. He's been talking about Quack science since the first movie. 

And I don’t. So it all evens out!

that Seth Meyers interview that was so clearly “let’s get ahead of this of this tabloid pregnancy story” and he looked so nervous. it was uncomfortable to watch.

Not to mention every lonely internet weirdo having OPINIONS about the relationship of a coke fiend, his insufferable hipster ex, and his try-hard current.

You mean John Mulaney came out of rehab, filed for divorce, tripped and fell into a relationship with Olivia Munn (those things may not have happened in that order), and now that immediate post-rehab post-filing relationship isn’t going to last? I do not know how anyone could have seen that one coming. Nope, those…

Who’s to say? 

I’ve been reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell for most of the month and just finished it last night. I think the last book I read that was that much of a doorstop was The Goldfinch. I really enjoyed it though, it wasn’t an effort to read or anything. The Regency Era has always been one of my favorite literary/movie…

Bonus quick story:I know nobody loves this movie, but the kids birthday party scene in Signs made everybody in the very crowded theater lose their shit

Technically cheating, BUT:

1988. I’m 4 years old. Movie advertisements being what they were, and a complete lack of internet, my parents thought a good first movie-going experience for me should be Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Cut to the movies introduction of Judge Doom. The best way to illustrate (pardon the pun) that…

guy who’s only read ready player one finding out about another book:

Can I also plead that we don’t need to know the layout of your entire house to hear about something scary that happened inside? The long, overly detailed and confusing architectural descriptions are nearly a convention at this point.

And like I plead every year, folks, please please remember that longer doesn’t mean better. Brevity is the soul of dread. 

Damn this was good. I really love how her songs get in and get out. They’re incredibly lush, but they often take me a few listens to get into simply because they’re also economical.

That makes me wonder if it was an influence on the most recent The Invisible Man.

Sounds complicated. I think we’ll just skip prom and just do weird stuff underneath the power lines at the substation.
