I wonder what was the Holy Grail of Ford Escorts?

I’ll vouch for Frankenstein and Bride. They’re an awesome one-two punch of classic horror. Son is okay. I haven’t seen Ghost. TBH they turned me onto 30's cinema because while it’s black & white, and ton of it’s dated, there’s something about the style from then which really does hold up.

Since a lot of them happen to be on Amazon Prime right now, I’ve tried a couple Vincent Price movies. Most really are crap. House on Haunted Hill though? Great flick. Same with the first Dr. Phibes (The 2nd is more of the same). 

Ansel Elgort is a name which says, “My parents have #BLM in their handles but live in an HOA.”

It still surprises me to see Jack White playing an EVH Wolfgang. He preferred those beat-up Airline guitars for so long.

My six year old daughter has $4200 left on her $6400 deductible. So no. I don’t miss America. America can jump off a cliff into a lava pit.

The Honda Pilot? The car made by the same company?

Reading about the Depression is so interesting, because what gets missed is for millions, life did go on as normal - only they had to make do in other ways. They might not have lost their job, but it wasn’t uncommon to work several to make ends meet. Cooking is interesting because common folk ate such basic stuff,…

I didn’t see Dirty Dancing until this year, at age 40. I have a six year old daughter, so the movie for me is about how Baby and Jake’s relationship matures over the film. Which is why I loved the movie.

That’s because a lot of people don’t see subtext or messaging unless it’s blatantly pointed out.

This is how it ends: with an alleged adderall abuser abusing steroids to flex on a virus which has killed 1 million people. There will need to be a whole rewrite on “hubris” in historiography. This tops Xerxes whipping the sea.

Three Jokers is a good example of why I don’t bother with comics. I want escapism with a dash of realism. I want superheroes who, despite their flaws, actually save regular people. I don’t want yet another reevaluation of the lore and mythos. I don’t want tragedy for the sake of tragedy. I don’t want supervillains…

Yeah. What if there’s no wind? It’s not like nobody in maritime trade ever faced this problem between 1400-1900 CE. Ever. Not once. No one EVER thought about how to sail, navigate, or chart the ocean currents and tradewinds. They just raised sail and hoped they found land.

Walmart and Amazon don’t make their name brand products though. Those are private brand manufacturers.

It’s certainly been fun to watch people wish they could have Jed Bartlett and would now settle for Selina Meyer.

I didn’t realize the novel is much more cynical compared to the movie, and that Gump’s success is centered on its outlandishness. Basically the Forrest Gump novel is a tall tale in the spirit of Pecos Bill and Paul Bunyan, but with some bite to it.

A lot of boomers bought into the “End of History” book and narrative which grew popular in the 90s, because the USSR collapsed and they thought, “Yeah! USA forever!”

Honey is mostly sugar and also bee barf.
