OK, that’s a thing. I kind of just want Dante to come back for Gremlins 3 though.

Reality Bites has never been a cult classic. It was always a precisely marketed coattail rider capitalizing on then-current trends. It now serves as frozen-in-amber pop culture museum piece so the Gen Xers can escape to when the world wasn’t so scary and Ethan and Winona looked like THAT.  It had little to say at the…

Jon Voight may be a for real right wing creep, but he’s also one hell of a stud!

Good.  These men are magic.  Get as much as you can out of them while they’re still with us.  That is, before they spontaneously combust.  

Those who believe in life after love, yes goddammit. 

Aaaw, I always liked that guy. Rest in peace and thanks for the what have you.

A few of these these stories lately. It’s hard not to view them as red meat for a certain kind of online clicker.

This isn’t a comfort, but thank you for highlighting that this sort of thing is endemic in many, many fields. The situation does not sound salvageable and it’s good you appear to fully realize it since the process of coming to that conclusion is its own kind of trauma.

“My name is Sue!  How do you do?!?”  

Just a small request then we’ll all move on. Can we not have a movie title where someone “rises” ever again? Thanks so much. Have a nice day.

Man. Sunday mornings. Car Talk, Garrison Keillor, the Traveling Wilburys, and the Judds.  The wallpaper of childhood.  Still a peaceful in the mind.  Rest in peace and thanks for the songs. 

Delightful in a very specific way that will be missed. Distraction is a necessary part of human coping. It can be done with artfulness and thought, but isn’t done that way often enough. Suffice to say, thanks for doing what you do well.

For the most part people who are good at their jobs serve a purpose and people who are bad their jobs actively do harm.

Perhaps you’ve heard of...Swedish House Mafia.

Allegedly Dick-ish is a pretty good Kinja handle.
