Man, the story of Furlong’s life post-Terminator is real depressing, but at least his hair had that moment of glory.

Revisiting it now, one of the best things T2 has going for it is its color palette. Without digital retouching to homogenize its look, that slightly flat early 90's lighting makes it look like all of this mayhem is happening very much in the real world. Combined with smart use of actual color to subtly tell a story

TBH I kinda feel the opposite way - the Knightley version is the one that’s earthy enough to have pigs in the house, after all.

I broadly hate praising the Disney machine, but I thought their approach with Disney+ was the right one - put disclaimers in front of potentially offensive stuff that let people know what they’re getting into. 

I watched it for the first time last week. The opening montage suggests that it’s going to be intolerable but after that’s out of the way I loved it.

My God is Bennett amazing in that movie.

What kind of lunatic doesn’t vacuum their curtains? They’re DUSTY goddammit!

Yeah, if Rebecca was smart there’s no way she’d stay at the bar for six years. You have to be kind of a fuck-up to be part of the crowd there. 

Carla jokes are always a 50/50 split between “funny mean” and “arbitrarily cruel,” which isn’t helped by them usually just being her saying something as she walks by. They feel like writer’s room scraps that they couldn’t find places for in the actual script.

The wife and I have been watching Cheers to get us through the pandemic (we’re almost done season 10 and racing the clock to get done before the end of June.) And I gotta say.... I hate Sam and Diane. Not in season 1. Maybe not in season 2. But by season 3, the only reason they’re still together is that they’re

This movie has possibly the worst score I’ve ever heard in a movie - it’s all soft-rock background guitar by Mark Knopfler that makes what could have been a biting satire play like it’s meant to be gently whimsical. Some of the beigest music I’ve ever heard.

“He bravely.... goes AROUND Mount Everest!”

The greatest moment in Up is at the climax, when Carl discovers the scrapbook Ellie kept of their life together and her exhortation for him to keep going without her. That just destroys me, every time. Carl throwing out all of the furniture so that he can keep going is maybe my favorite thing in the whole Pixar oeuvre.

At the same time, very few things in the whole run of The Office still make me laugh as hard as the parkour cold open.

Yup! It was the Main Street Video Coop for the last three-four years, although I never knew anyone who called it that. They gave their inventory to the Kenworthy.

God, that’s beautiful Ignatiy. I miss video stores so much.

Case in point: this column of Red Sox fan moaning and groaning.

He... fucking turtled. It’s completely in character.
