Dana Carvey's version on SNL is all I can ever hear (not the best vid quality but it isolates that part — full skit on Hulu, among other sites): https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I think it depends a ton on the audience and maybe the theater you're watching a midnight show with. I'd watched it first at home with a friend, both with minimal knowledge, and we had a blast. Brought a couple other friends to a midnight showing a few months later, but besides the "cued" stuff, two or three drunk(er)…

I think there are modern manga artists with more realistic character designs outside of gekiga (which I understand, roughly, as primarily referring to 1960s - ~late '80s manga with grim/"hardboiled" themes and aesthetics). Though yeah, they're likely influenced by the movement and often geared towards realistic drama…

I asked a similar question on here a few months ago. Some of the advice I got, mixed in with what I felt I learned:

I think what they're doing with Dev and his father is a subtler grade of culture clash, though, and doesn't make out his dad to be naive or endlessly wide-eyed about America; plus, presumably Ansari's parents are not playing up their accents. I think some of the rejection of the Perfect Strangers role also comes from…

As a kid, I came across the saying "You've got to take the bitter with the better." It stuck, but not as intended: I used it to justify, among other things, a tendency to stick with courses of action or status quos that I couldn't admit made me uncomfortable or miserable, let alone figure out why they did in order to…

"Why is there a freezer section, solely stocked with ginger?"
"Absolutely disgusting! Let's go, Chinatown has much better prices and way more variety."

"Yegg" ranks up there with "quisling" in terms of delightful-sounding words for not-so-delightful people.

"The Drum" was a well-suited retelling of "The New Mother" from Anyhow Stories by Lucy Clifford. Full text: http://weirdfictionreview.c…

"Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just… let it happen."

Those darn ninjas. They're wacky!

Heard she joined an online support group and made friends with an Oriental girl, who also lost a leg… Irene

Is that when you profess to having up to eight different sexualities in a single beat?

Big aside, but this reminds me of James Tiptree's "And I Awoke and Found Me Here on the Cold Hill’s Side", wherein humanity has made first contact and is dying by inches because that drive goes into overload once introduced to aliens, who are intriguing, unfamiliar, and, it turns out, aggressively disinterested. That…

Linked to this above, but this might be of interest:

"Breaking in" a new book can help reduce chances of cracking the spine (especially hardbacks):

That is fantastic! It feels like a culmination of several of their previous videos, while I thought "Writings" felt a bit more "proof of concept".

For years: "I only saw it once and don't remember the artist, but it was around the late '90s? And there were lots of slightly unsettling close-ups and zooms into different people in an outdoor scene?" "Oh, yeah, Black Hole Su-" "NO."

They could almost just re-use the rental car exchange.

Very helpful, thank you!
