Alex Jones thought bubble:  “Jesus, I play crazy on TV but this guy is genuinely fucking nuts”

An “Ark”? You mean like what Noah built?”

“The Phantom Menace.” Like, at all. Then, a few years later, it sounded “normal.” Same goes for the name “Supreme Leader Snoke.”

Did he break his nose some time between Blade Runner 2049 and this?

No Ice harvest?  For shame.

If you’re pinching out just the right amount of kosher salt you’re better off with an open container to grab from rather than shaking it out. I prefer a salt pig, bc it’s always open but it’s angled at the top to keep stuff from falling into it:

“Reindeer corn” sounds like a euphemism.  You know, like “horse apples.”

I didn’t have a cell phone until 2003 when I started working as a lawyer at 27 years old. My parents didn’t get cell phones until even later than that. I know there were people like you who had cell phones in the late 90s, but it definitely was not a common as you seem to think.

White guys saying the n word in cinema was a relatively brief era. From like 1994 to... 1994.

“90% of all art of every form from every era is pretty much crap”

Can’t speak for QT, but maybe he means the mid to late 50s through the mid 60s?   That era when Old Hollywood was dying and they kept cranking out bloated historical epics and hokey musicals to try and keep audiences coming out instead of staying home and watching Ed Sullivan or whatever.

My Mom still makes Ambrosia every year exclusively for my Dad bc nobody else would even consider eating that mess.
