The tinny, high school marching band quality of the Superman II soundtrack was my first hint that something was “wrong” about it, leading me down the rabbithole of finding out about all the behind the scenes shenanigans.

I said above that Empire Strikes Back is his best total work, but the Superman Theme has to be his best single piece of music. It’s beyond iconic. You could play it for someone who had never hears of Superman and they would still somehow say that’s Superman’s Theme. 

Yep, TESB is his best collected work. Every “theme” he came up with feels unique and distinct from the other. Yoda’s Theme is whimsical, Imperial March is doom and bombast, Han and Leia is sweeping and majestic, even the menacing oboe rumble that’s Boba Fett’s theme works. Then there’s obsure stuff like “Hyperspace”…

Create a Thunderdome style dueling arena way out in the Nevada desert. Give free tickets to each person’s biggest supporters on social media. Opening bell of the fight drop an asteroid on the whole site.

“I’ll be back!”

She really seemed to be enjoying herself alot more these last few seasons (haven’t watched the new one yet). But don’t blame her for wanting to move on. 

Ford is the same age as my dad, and I get nervous watching my dad walk across the patio after it’s been raining. I just can’t shake that same feeling watching Ford do action sequences. Even 15 years ago in Crystal Skull I was worried about him doing a stunt. “Nooo Harrison don’t do that you could really hurt yourself!”

“We knew lots of kids watched the show, so we decided to fuck up an entire generation by making the monster-in-the-walls and possessed doll episodes.”

Exactly. The return to office position is always “EVERYONE needs to come back because I miss chitchatting with people.” The WFH position is always “Work wherever you want, but I’m staying home because it’s better for me.”

Yeah The Road for me too. There’s a scene at some point in the movie where either the father or the kid is just sobbing uncontrollably and I remember thinking “What am I even doing watching this.”

Wait, so Tesla stock went UP when investors heard Musk potentially might be able to start playing a more direct role in the company again?

My only experience with this show is it being on on mute at a restaurant I was at. The doctor was getting comically, obviously drunk at a bar and somebody came up to talk to him. I looked away for less than a minute and when I looked back a crowd of dudes was stomping the absolute shit out of him on the floor of the…

They set up such an exciting possibility of her going off to a new school and new location at the end of last season, then walked it all back; it was kind of disappointing. Then again if this is the final season it makes sense to end the show on familiar ground rather than starting over again. 

Jesus that really does look like Mitch McConnell. 

It’s such a formative experience, that first experience you have with something that you realize sucks.

One of the saddest things to me of the new trilogy was seeing how burnt out and jaded all the leads were about it at the end vs how fresh and excited they were going in. It was certainly justified given alot of the toxic shit they had to put up with. But Ridley in particular; she gave the impression she was done with…

This is just step one of his plan to have a movie where Maui fights Captain America, isn’t it.

“Died after violently shitting his pants upon hearing the verdict.”

Mmm. It’s Sunday night, that was a great episode of the Simpsons, that King of the Hill show is also getting really good, now let’s see what Mulder and Scully are up to. 

That whole revival a few years ago really surfaced alot of the right wing paranoia that I glossed over back in the day. Didn’t they have an Alex Jones standin, and he was the good guy?
