Switching between first person and third person is lazy hack writing. Switching between different first person POVs is even worse. Just pick one type of perspective and stick with it, you assholes.

No, I will not be taking questions at this time.

Stephen King is one of the most popular authors of all time and its pretty rare I'll look at his writing and go, "wow, what a turn of phrase."

Pet Semetary still scared the absolute hell out of me. L.T.'s Theory of Pets still made me cry.

It's okay to be the story guy sometimes.

I’ve learned to get it before a day off if possible because the 24 hours of ugghhhhhh have been so consistent.

I also tell myself its because i have a very responsive immune system and that’s totally awesome. Totally.

But also ugghhhhhh.

Not sure, my sub is through Prime. Tho I own that particular film on Blu-ray so I’m probably not the best person to ask re: it’s current streaming location.

Late Night with the Devil is overall really well done and a rare leading role for David Dastmalchian.

Also just saw The Ugly Stepsister. It's the first movie I've ever seen to actually make my gorge rise, so wouldn't recommend it while eating but its beautifully shot.

Olivia de Havilland could have watched the first talkie, the first color film, the first 3D film, the first televised film, the first home video and the first streaming film and probably still would've smacktalked her sister through every viewing

My mother grew up in Delaware County and the occasional "wurder" will still slip out.

She thought both Mare of Eastown and the SNL sketch were great ftr. One of the few shows we all ended up following as a family.

literally every time I talk to friends

three panel cartoon by @emilyscartoons.bsky.social … in the first panel one person says "let's not talk about politics any more, I can't bear it" and the other person replies "same." in the second panel, they say nothing. in the third panel, the first person yells "THE THING IS THOUGH" and the second person yells back "THOSE FUCKING IDIOTS"

IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If—

CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother?

IKARI: Look, let me answer the question.

CHOTINER: Sure.

Tbf, that's been the case for centuries. Half of Arthurian canon is some guy coming along and saying, "Yeah, well *my* knight of the round table is an even better swordsman than Lancelot! And more handsome! And-and both God *and* Arthur love him more, so there!"

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Post a team you would send instead of Patel and Bongino

Basil of Baker Street and his sidekick Dawson look at a clue with a magnifying glass (natch). Despite being mice and animated and fictional, they would be much better crime solvers than any chucklefuck in the Trump administration
