I have never shared a bar of soap with a roommate, is the thing. I cannot imagine two grown men who were not in an intimate relationship with one another sharing a bar of soap.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

The best thing about that classic Goonies poster is that he did seven variations, each putting a different Goonie at the top of the chain.

The GOAT. Even if you don't know it, you've seen his work a million times in every movie theater lobby you've ever walked through.

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

Especially when it's an NFL quarterback, which to them is, short of Obama's presidency, the ultimate example of magnanimously allowing a Black person to have a white man's job.

Kaepernick knelt for the national anthem in 2016, nine full-ass years ago. He was immediately and summarily by unspoken but obvious mutual decision of league-wide management run out of the league. He never played another down in the NFL. And he STILL lives in these motherfuckers' heads rent-free.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Man, two, three more weeks of rehearsal and we'll really have a hell of a show on our hands.

We open on Friday. 🫠🫠🫠

That's a cumulus. A Columbus is when you get a burger, fries and a drink for one low price at a fast food place.

Flowers Georg @pantalonesfuego.bsky.social · 1d

That's a Colm. A Columbus is a type of cloud.

ouinne @ouinne.bsky.social · 1d

That’s a columbine. Columbus is a masculine Irish name meaning dove, the first name of the actor who played the greatest man in Starfleet, Chief Miles O’Brien.

I get emails from Ace Hardware saying "Don't forget to review your most recent purchase!" And, like...it was a box of screws, a roll of duct tape and a can of WD-40. Do you really need me to rate and review that?

Amos Posner @amosposner.bsky.social · 1d

I think businesses asking people to rate every single experience has furthered this damage. We shouldn't have this many opinions about this many things, and we certainly shouldn't expect other busy people to care if we do.

rax ‘levon honkers’ king @raxkingisdead.bsky.social · 1d

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

I saw three different people cosplaying as Bob Ferguson from One Battle After Another at NYCC which a) makes sense as it’s current and popular and easy to do and b) is three more Paul Thomas Anderson movie cosplayers than I ever expected to see.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

What are you talking about? She's a great songwriter! "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)," "The Ballad of the Green Berets," "Yes, We Have No Bananas"... she's written some of the all-time bangers.

Brilliant idea: Call it Pizza Day. Still celebrating Italian-Americans' contributions and doing it with something everybody loves.

I'm also not surprised he failed. "Trying to do Trump shit and failing spectacularly" is his whole deal. He's so convinced that he's Trump's hand-picked successor when Trump's entire VP selection strategy is clearly "somebody who people won't like more than me."

It is the most successful any movie has ever been (save maybe Ang Lee's HULK) at something many have tried, the "comic strip come to life" aesthetic.

Holy Priceless Collection @etruscansnood.bsky.social · 2d

Dick Tracy has visual flair and style for days, some of the most spectacular prosthetic makeup work ever done for the screen, original songs by Stephen Sondheim, terrific performances from major stars (find me an actor having more fun in any role ever than Al Pacino)... what's not to love?

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 2d

you know what. DICK TRACY is good. a perfectly fine time at the movies. i’d rather watch it again than most blockbusters these days.
