Should have been “wokest friend,” but I’ll allow it.

We finally watched We’re the Millers a few months ago (while high, of course) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Perfect movie for that state of mind. I can’t believe that goofy-looking kid is Adam Warlock.

You’re being suspiciously reasonable. *cocks shotgun*

I knew who Adkins was in general but not really what he looked like, so I didn’t know that’s who that was. Of course as soon as he started doing high-speed spin kicks and stuff, I’m like, ah ok, it’s not just some random actor in a fat suit, it’s a martial arts guy in a fat suit. Then I saw the credits and went, ahhh…

Thanks, that’s helpful! My laptop actually is a Lenovo, which that article talks about, so I’ll see if I can get it to do that.

Joaquim de Almeida, who I love, but who I will also always refer to as Latino Phil Hartman.

I knew it wasn’t Max Greenfield but I couldn’t help but see Fat Schmidt every time Adkins was on camera.

100% agreement, with an added soupcon of “please make it visually interesting to look at.” The utterly desaturated grays and browns that made up 99% of the visual palette were just ugh.

I occasionally like to remind myself that we’re lucky enough to live in a world where Jeremy Irons once said the phrase “Holy Toledo” out loud.

I wonder if it would be feasible to have battery electronics use a mode that basically cycles the power from 20-80%, even when plugged in. I’m one of the aforementioned “laptop that’s always plugged in” types, and it’d be neat if there was a way for me to tell the computer “you’re going to be plugged in a long time,…

My only real complaint is that his verbiage is a bit too dense; it probably works a lot better on paper, but he tends to have these really long, complicated sentences with lots of clauses that read well but don’t sound great. Part of the reason I watched LGU so many times was just to try and understand some of what he…

The podcast is also cursed.

Letters? That’s clearly the number 15.

I dunno. Does Coogler have the chops to string us along for years, teasing grand conspiracies but never resolving anything, and finally making us become fed up with unending mysteries?

*slaps you with a glove* Pistols at dawn, sir.

We’re watching Not Dead Yet mainly because we like the cast, and being old fuddy-duddies in our 40s, we sometimes want something that’s charming and low-key and unchallenging. (But we’re also watching Doom Patrol and The Peripheral and Barry and Inside Job and Lower Decks and Foundation and... yadda yadda.)

Eat up, Martha!

You beat me to it! My wife and I watched The Future is a Dead Mall: Decentraland and the Metaverse last night, and it was great.
