Shout out to the house in Diamond Lake that celebrated Halloween by putting a projector outside their house to display 1995’s Casper on their garage.

Since traveling to Central and South America in my 20s and seeing how “American” and “from the United States” do not mean the same thing, I consistently say the second option now when I want to say “From the US”, even though we don’t have a less-cumbersome option in English.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Listening to Rhino’s 2025 BD-Audio of Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 S/T. I generally opt for the high-res stereo mixes rather than Atmos.

Won’t repeat the band’s lore of where they were when they made this, but my first listen was a pleasant surprise, as most of the Rumours songs were played-out.

My favorite genres are:

1. Chasing Jennifer Anniston and Francis from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.

2. In an urban setting, with Ice-T and (briefly) Coolio.

3. Las Vegas, don’t remember much but a woman gets cursed & her butt expands, explodes and she dies.

4. Back to urban setting.

5. In Space.
My favorite genres are:

1. Giant monster appears, society copes
2. Gangsters/crooks destroy each other over money/power
3. Ordinary folks dealing with real, human scaled modern problems
4. History film that is not about kings or military
5. Child survives incredibly dangerous environment
My favorite genres are:

5. Thriller (on a train)

4. Folks mess with someone who knows way more Kung Fu than you'd expect

3. Biggest star killed off fifteen minutes in

2. Time travel story that requires charts

1. Adventure in space!

The Shawscope sets are so good because Arrow is very good at curating both insane action films and just insane films. Only a madman would put something like Mighty Peking Man with Crippled Avengers in the same set.

I cannot believe Vol 2 is so low at Arrow now— it has the 36th Chamber of Shaolin!!

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

It’s not just the fact that the U of MN campus is filled with young, college-aged people closer to my son’s age than mine, it’s also that only about 10% of the Dinkytown businesses from the 90s still remain.

Absolutely criminal that Jurriën Timber did not score against Nottingham Forest today.

Not checking to see if anyone else has made a similar joke; I’m sure it only occurred to me.

TV Funhouse.
Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
