Yeah, Disco Frog definitely seems to be the source of the visual part of that nightmare…

[Mild spoiler for later in the book/series]

Right? Like, what’s the continuity going to be with the cartoon? And will the LGM still be as awesome/adorable?

Same film but it was the giant spiders that got me.

Fun fact: All of Wes Anderson’s new movies are screened in advance at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, so his mom can see them. I got to see Moonrise Kingdom there and it was a fun crowd.

Daniel Craig’s been doing some interesting comedic roles lately—he could probably pull it off.

HEB’s store-brand English muffins are misery, but I have a Kroger down the street so I might give theirs a shot. I see online that Kroger’s are also cheaper at $1.49 vs HEB’s at $1.99 (vs Thomas brand at $2.68).

I’ve had HSA accounts for decades, and I didn’t know that the funds could be invested until two years ago when my financial advisor mentioned it. Up until then, I’d spend whatever money my company put into it on all and sundry (that was health-related) and contribute extra only if the account ran low. Now I pay all of…

A good test for whether you have less or fewer of something is to swap in much or many. You would have much money and many people, so take away some and it would be less money and fewer people.

I have that same late-2013 13” MBP. It’s still doing just fine! My battery is about where yours is, and it’s maybe a little slower to start up Creative Cloud than it used to be, but it gets the job done. I might replace it soon to get the OS update, but there’s no big urgency.

Both MacBook Pros I’ve owned have lasted 7+ years in good working order (whereas the PC laptops I use for work seem to fall off a cliff around year three). Makes the high upfront cost a little easier to swallow. My current machine is a late-2013 model, which I’ve just learned is not going to be supported by the new OS…

Doesn’t sound like it.

As Fritz Lang’s first talkie, his use of sound in M is very minimal (well, relative to today), but SO effective. It’s eerie and creepy and tense. And you’ll never hear Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King in quite the same way again.

You should check her out in A Different World (from season 2 onward). It’s streaming currently on HBO Max.

“Not gory.” LOL, ok.

Stop moralizing food.

“How to spend $30 more, for free!”

Meh, I just think it’s bad eye makeup, her hairstyle making her forehead look big and sitting too close to a wide-angle lens.

LOL, this explains my parents’ marriage success (50 years in May) — the minute I moved out of the house 25 years ago, my dad claimed my bathroom as his own personal poop fiefdom (poopdom??). Last year they renovated a house and removed a whole-ass bedroom to make space for a double bathroom in the master. As in…
