I’ve loved Steve Martin for as long as I can remember, and Martin Short very nearly as long, but when they’ve worked together they’ve had a tendency to be very broad and... loud. Throw in Nathan Lane and it gets even bigger and broader. I went into this show wanting to like it but with some trepidation. Happily, I’ve…

Just a guess. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/12/science/covid-sniffing-dogs.html

It’s from Philly musician Pat Finnerty and, yes, it’s about Weezer, and specifically Beverly Hills, but it’s also about getting older, nostalgia and perspective. It's really kind of a masterpiece.

I’m not a fan of Weezer, but this guy is and this video is pretty awesome.

Well dang, I have Magic Knight Rayearth, opened but complete in box, stickers and gamer response card still in the manual.) Got it when it came out but forgot what I did with it. Turns out it was in a box in my garage with all my Saturn, Dreamcast, SNES and PS1 stuff. Don't have Panzer Dragon Saga, but I do have…

It’s just kind of sad because I loved Person of Interest. Maybe the restrictions of episodic network TV helps keep some bad impulses in check, or maybe like a lot of bands that spend 5 years on their first album, they just can’t follow it up.

This movie was a stinker. And for me, it’s entirely because I have no idea why Nick would be in love with Mae at all (in lust, maybe), much less to the extent that he’d risk his career and his life to find her. She has no personality and apparently everything she told him was a lie. So I could not understand why he…

Like... Neither of the replies you quote are criticizing you. Just expressing a different opinion. Your reaction is very dramatic.

You’re very sensitive.

So you were referring to yourself in the bolded “let the past go?” Because that is not at all clear.

I used to live next to someone that had a sign that said “We don’t call 911" with a picture of a gun. I always wanted to ask them if they were planning to shoot out a fire or a heart attack.

But *I’m* the past. Kevin Smith movies are cinematic fast food for me. I fully recognize it’s not great, but it can be good, and it’s comforting.

I liked Reboot. It’s a very Gen X film, (I’m very close in age to Smith), and you pretty much have to be a fan of Smith in general, and even then you may not like it. I expected to hate it but ended up finding it a bit endearing. I didn’t see Red State, Yoga Hosers or Tusk, but I did see Cop Out, and that was awful. I…

Indiana Buttigieg. Works for a boy or a girl.

All fame is capricious, so seeing the old-money famouses get uppity about these nouveax-riches famouses is pretty funny. They’re just worried that associating with these people who got famous wrong will reveal how meaningless and shallow it all is. The world is changing, though I’m sure gatekeeping “the way things…

I’ve really liked Selma Blair, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to watch her documentary. I saw my best friend deteriorate excruciatingly slowly and eventually die from MS (aspiration pneumonia from no longer being able to control her swallowing.) It’s hard to witness it and even harder to imagine what it’s like to…

Well, damn, I never thought it would happen, but someone on the internet (you) has convinced someone else (me) they might be wrong. I definitely have to give it another watch.

That makes a lot of sense. I'll have to rewatch it sometime with that in mind. I guess the thing I don’t get is.... Ok, so he wants honor... He doesn’t realize that the green knight is immortal, (or does he?), so how does he get honor from beheading a defenseless man? Or if he does know he won’t kill the green knight,…

I’m not sure she realizes it, but it’s really a win/win for her. If twitter bans her, she gets to play victim, and if they don’t, she gets to keep circulating her nonsense... and play victim. Twitter is in a no-win situation, but there’s not really anything they can do about it now. Social media starting from a…

Spot on.
