I remember absolutely, unreservedly loving this movie when it came out. Then again, I was 14. Now I'm kind of afraid to watch it again.

He’s also probably more fun to be around. Really, we should all just go work for Hank Scorpio.

I don't know, I think I'd rather work for Scorpio than Musk. At least Scorpio supports work hammocks.

Just because the characters don’t learn anything, doesn’t mean we can’t.

Personally, I want a show about Pedestrianism. For those who don’t know, it was a Victorian-era sport that was basically endurance walking as a spectator sport. It could be competitive, or walking to achieve a goal (7 days without stopping, 1,000 miles without stopping, etc.). Matches could last days, and were so…

Wait, has influencer really been around for a whole decade? I swear I only heard it in the last couple of years. Than again, I'm bad at zeitgeisting.

It makes perfect sense, if you start with the premise that the universe clearly does not want this movie to exist. Basically every force on the planet has lined up against it, and that now includes French courts. If Gilliam manages to fix this, expect an asteroid strike.

Well, the implications of the Good Place/Bad Place were always unsavory. That’s been one of the major points of the show.

I’m sure they’ll get around to fixing the ceiling as soon as the other construction is finished. Any decade now. (Charlotte Airport has been under active construction for at least 20 years. I have no idea what they think they are building)

Tab Hunter:hunting down people who don’t pay their tab.

I mean, science is conducted by life forms, so I’d put this firmly in the camp of life finding a way.

My parents were great, but living on different continents has definitely improved our relationship.

Yeah, I hadn’t really kept up with the band, but Midnight Organ Fight was really important to me at a turbulent, transitional time in my life. I’m surprised how hard this news has hit me.

Not if the two of you only made porn together. Then it would all be perfectly biblical.

For me, it was everything. Nothing that happens in that book feels pleasant, or good. Even the recreation of the world, which is meant to be a happy ending, feels wrong.

Fair enough. I was raised sort-of Catholic in a very Baptist-y part of the US, so I wasn’t hugely bother by Jesus-y stuff, as long as it wasn’t too over the top. Many Waters crossed a line where the religious stuff was so clearly the point of the story. The Last Battle crossed about every line into genuinely…

The only one of L’Engle’s books where I found the Christianity uncomfortable was the one set in Noah’s flood (Many Waters, I think?). In the others, it’s there, but I wasn’t bothered, and I enjoyed her books.

I love supporting odd and niche stores. I got my boyfriend a fountain pen as a gift, at least partly because I got to shop in the fountain pen store that exists in my city. I find the idea that a place that impractical is still around wonderful.

I don’t know, if you live in a crappy climate and have a winter wedding date, it does provide an excuse to take a holiday somewhere sunnier. At least for the round-number years.

I mean, personally I think they’re still in a simulation and that explains Chidi’s accent (or, hell, maybe we the audience are in a simulation and they’ve all been speaking Italian this whole time. I don’t even know any more). But I do think that accents are flexible enough to handwave Chidi’s, if it turns out that it…
