I’m sure he told this joke all the time, but I got to go to a few of his foundation’s benefit dinners years ago, and when it was a casino night kind of deal, and he mentioned that his poker tell was that if he was shaking, he was bluffing. Seemed like he always tried to make other people more comfortable with his…

And you just know that Miller left his discarded carapaces lying all over the place after each molt.

I thought the Uncle Billy story was pretty humanizing actually, it was very evocative and well written I thought

My grandma passed away this spring - we knew it was coming, she was in her 90s and had congestive heart failure, but being stuck in place during Covid and only getting to say goodbye over FaceTime was heartbreaking. One night I couldn’t sleep - usually I pass out a little before midnight, but for some reason I was up…

I am not in the Australian bush, I am in my converted-home-office, BUT I AM FREAKED THE FUCK OUT RIGHT NOW ABOUT THIS CLACKING MAN!

Godddd this is absolutely terrifying, I hope this story wins. I have my legs under a table right now and I’m sure if my dog had touched my legs in the last 5 minutes I would have crapped myself.

This is as sweet as a story about losing a parent could be. I’m glad he still gets to say hello every now and then. 

I must confess up front this is not particularly scary - but it is definitely ghostly. It just involves my father - the sweetest man ever - so how scary is that?! Lol. I grew up in the country on a farm with horses. Since we were so remote, and the driveway to my childhood home so long, my parents had installed a…

Very confused as to where he got that. Do they loot a zombie Wes Anderson in the pilot?

I can’t watch it. 7th grade FOREVER? Like the time when I publically didn’t know what a hickey was and it was the guy who was a good friend but who I secretly liked more than anyone else ever in the world who told me what it was (he had older brothers) and I almost expired of embarrassment right there in math? Or when…

JJ was involved in another show that I thought stuck the landing pretty well: Fringe. In fact, as much as I still like The X-Files I now like Fringe better.

Oh fuck that dr.

This is a great examination of what made Becky work, but I don’t think the movie was as unequivocally anti-”normcore” as you put it. Buscemi essentially lays out out the thesis in the middle of the film when he talks about there being no purity or virtue to being an insular nerd. I think the film does demonstrate that…

Came out on a Wednesday, and my parents had told my sister and I that we would see it on Saturday, three days that seemed eternal to a just-turned-10 years old kid. Wednesday night, about 9 o’clock, I was fast asleep when my dad, in a moment I will never ever forget, gently shakes me awake and says, “Do you want to go…

curse Jerry for not taking his gear off *first*

You win and I saw someone die on a plane once.
