NK Jemisin did a take on the American wizarding world back when Rowling first released her cultural/historical hack job, and this is now my head canon: https://nkjemisin.com/2016/03/it-couldve-been-great/

Coleslaw salad dressing. Some people use it as a sandwich vapor barrier. Other people put globs of it on their sandwich. Those people are heretics.

Cottage cheese is lumpy and slimy. Totally gross.

The B’rer Rabbit parts are legit folktales - he’s a trickster god and is usually on the side of the underdog, but sometimes has a bad day. The framing parts need to DIAF.

He was a bright spot in the otherwise terrible “Gods of Egypt”.

They use “mocha” for both the drink and the syrup and know which they mean by the position in the sentence. But don’t try doing it yourself - my drink of choice is a “one pump chocolate cappuccino”, which they’ll call out as “one pump mocha cappuccino”, but if I say that they assume I mean an actual mocha.

For some even more obscure SF - I was reading CL Moore’s “Shambleau” for the first time when Bette Davis Eyes came on the radio. They both feature mysterious and strangely entrancing women, so that’s stuck forever.

That was my first 3D movie, and put me off the entire concept until friends convinced me that Doctor Strange was worth it.

I am meh on Avatar. I save all my hate for the movie that had to be renamed because of it: once they’ve got past the “naming the elements” intro, The Last Airbender does not have a single redeeming minute.

The “Totally Spies” look.

We’ve learned to make our windows narrow enough to turn it into a scrollable list.

They’d be rocking that in the mirrorverse.

What’s Sean Patrick Flanery doing these days?

That doesn’t stop them - there’s a Walker Texas Ranger reboot without Chuck Norris doing head-high kicks in tight jeans.

There’s one small scene I remember - when one of the baddies tells Indy and Marion to shut up, which is exactly what I wanted to do.

They ran out of cake, now it’s just “or death”.

“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” - Coco Chanel

Close! The one I was thinking of was in the footnotes:

I cannot find the article I read some years back that said a lot of Kirk’s “ladies man” moments are when he’s being held prisoner and using sexual wiles to get out of the situation, the way countless female screen protagonists have done without anyone even blinking.
