Ha! I had a feeling it was too inviting to be believed...

Gee, I don’t know, Cyril. Maybe deep down I’m afraid of any apex predator that lived through the K-T extinction!?

Want to smoosh Pete’s belly!

Starred immediately for the link alone.

Still haven’t gotten quite everything I had in mind for this month done yet; still feeling fine about it (progress!). Plus, the month is only just past half over, so, arbitrary goal or not, no reason to stress about it.

Thank you!

Yeah. Plus, for me — though this is one of the best attempts I’ve seen — it’s always the skin that just never looks quite real. It always has that slight flat/rubbery-looking quality to it. The only one of these shots that doesn’t suffer from that problem is the “selfie,” and that’s because it’s so blown out by the…

I’ve never really gotten over the fact that something I love so much could hurt me so bad.

Yikes! That’s too bad. As I understand it, though this comes from film people likely far pickier about this stuff than I am, the Criterion’s initial release of The Third Man is still considered the best-looking transfer (even if they lost the rights to it long before blu-ray as a format arrived), but the current…

Ooh, still got that Criterion Third Man DVD? That’s worth a hell of a lot these days, they’ve lost the rights to it since!

Your being the only one in this thread who’s so purposefully misinterpreted just about everything I’ve said should be a great big red flag, but I know it won’t be. I hope it makes you feel special!

Oh, I definitely agree; logistically, the core not expanding beyond that makes the most sense, and works the best, narratively.

Sorry, only just now saw this!

Not at all what Kondo advises.

Then maybe don’t also literally title an article “Throw Your Books Away”? Just a thought. But I am 100 miles past caring about this goddamn post, or any of the rest of all this harping on Marie Kondo, to be honest.

“That’s it? You brought seventeen dollars out?”

Points for quoting one of my all-time favorite Hollywood movies.

Yeah, these days I mostly get produce from the farmer’s market whenever possible. It helps that there’s one at the nearby Metro station a couple days a week! Which is way closer than the main Hollywood one, for me.

If it wasn’t a personal insult, maybe next time don’t hurl insults? You started off claiming I should feel bad for saying throwing good books away is a bad thing. (I still don’t, and I’ll stand by it regardless how secondhand shops make you feel — treating things that can be of use to plenty of others as if they’re…

You said “it feels shitty.” Sorry you don’t like anything to do with reselling.
