Too bad the real Salt Lake City doesn’t have a subway system, nor any tunnels under the city, really (it’s got precisely one tunnel. Just one).

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On was robbed, I tell ya.

So this yesterday, and I strongly agree.

Maybe the real friends are the G.I. Joe PSA’s we made along the way.

Well, having just seen the movie yesterday, I’m sad to report there is none of that. There is, however, someone clearly watching Jason Takes Manhattan A Boat on the TV, so at the very least, they did think about it.

🥺

Okay, your comment made me laugh out loud. And yeah, that’s fair. I dunno why it doesn’t do it for me, but hearing you come to its defense? Makes me respect it more.

Haven’t seen it yet, but there’s at least one that I know of. On the subway, you can see Jason’s mask amongst the crowd:

Please tell me you actually did write this, and it’s not just a ChatAI-something-or-other? Because if so, this story is what internet moments are made of.

Yeah, sometimes emotion is way more affective than technical prowess. I think that’s precisely why “Falling Slowly” won the year it did: it’s so achingly sincere. (I had to stop myself from getting into an argument with my friend’s mother that year, because she insisted that song had no business winning over either of …

It’s beloved in my household. We all get misty-eyed over it. It’s so sweet.

Thank you. Yeah, I’ve always thought of that song as the perfect one to convey the transition from one life to another, so it seemed appropriate to sing it to my babies once they came to this one, and it’s why I intend to have others sing when I leave this one behind.

You know what? I can agree with that, actually. “Gollum’s Song” totally sounds like his James Bond villain theme, and that’s not actually boring. I wish I could edit my original comment.

This list is missing “Into the West.” Say what you will about the prior two songs from the Lord of the Rings trilogy being snooze-fests (they are), but Annie Lennox KILLED it with this one.

Even A Boy And His Dog invokes it, and that’s almost 50 years old.

Hey, screw you, pal! ;)

Honestly, I’d give it another shot. I also took it for granted at the time, not thinking much of it (hell, I even liked I Know What You Did Last Summer more, so that really tells you how little credit I gave it).

Generally, I’ve found that the biggest ingredient a compliment needs to feel sincere is specificity. The more specific the compliment, the more it shows you’ve thought about the individual quality that you’re complimenting in that person, in particular.

Hey, someone did post what all those tidbits were!

Oh, man. My entire video game experience from when I was 4-7 felt like it was mostly just staring at Nintendo Power and imagining what the games probably looked like in action. Sparked my imagination in a very distinct way.
