“Oh he’s heavily fucking delayed”

Throughout this episode all I could think about was the night my mother called me to tell me that my dad was really sick and it looked like he had COVID. We were still in the middle of lockdown and the next several hours were a desperate flurry of calls as I tried to talk to nurses, my mother, my sister in Australia,…

Followed by the long wait before anyone remebered Connor. 

Knocked the wind out of me.  That long walk when Kendall went to find Shiv.

Having twice been on the receiving end of very unexpected calls informing me of a loved one’s death - including an identical experience being asked to speak to someone as they were passing - this episode had in me in tears. The way they nailed all the different ways people handle sudden grief was masterful. Not since…

“We can get an off-the-shelf funeral.....Reagan’s but with tweaks” is the line of the season so far for me.

Unpopular opinion, but I loved the Obi-Wan series. I also thought it ended perfectly and didn’t need a second season, so I’m actually kind of relieved to hear this.

I want a live-action ‘Cars’, but no faces on the cars. Just footage of a lot of real automobiles driving around with the disembodied voices of the cast floating out of the speakers.

Hey don’t ... jerk me around, maclunkey.

I don’t know if it makes a good story, but I sometimes wish Daikatana was a better known cultural reference for what it embodied. Lots of hype and arrogance, endless delays and personal drama, and in the end something ugly, tasteless, and mediocre.

No, the Damon Lindelof that gave us the leftovers and watchmen.

“Well everyone knows that Anakin went over to the dark side. What this film presupposes is..what if he didn’t?”

That soundtrack changed my life...

I was a teen as well, but an annoying enough one that I’d already written off (relatively) new music so that just compounded my dislike for the film.

I like both those songs just fine but they don’t really have the same groove as the rest of the album.  Made the guys rich, though.

I’d put “All that You Can’t Leave Behind” as one of their greats. It holds together as a whole album.

buddy i was all-in. i even had the touchscreen one. BBM was the lynchpin of my social world in my 20s.

I think the strangled cries of Racism are going to be a harder sell this year, but keep fighting the good fight.
