Fiona clears Taylor so easily as a pop-adjacent female songwriter it’s not even funny

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Ive still not been to a theme park except once in my childhood but I’m becoming a Theme Park Person solely through watching YouTube reviews lmao

Last month, we made a pilgrimage to the new DARK UNIVERSE theme park land at Epic Universe Orlando. Our verdict? It rocks — but in a way that might not be sustainable.

Is the Dark Universe theme park too good to last?

It’s mainly that Wall-E himself doesn’t move me. His cloying cuteness is irritating. I’m glad my three-year-old likes it though.

Not sure what the story would even be in that case! To be honest my issues with the movie BEGIN with the cloying cuteness of Wall-E himself, regardless of the setting he’s in lol

Also, now that we’ve watched it a couple times I can officially say I do not like this movie at all lol.

Cutely, my son has identified Eve as Wall-E’s mommy

Anyway, very very good movie, one of the best of the 90’s. The more I watch it the more I’m convinced it’s even deeper and has more going on than I ever thought before. It’s on Criterion right now and really worth your time if you haven’t seen it

We watched Velvet Goldmine tonight, my husband’s first time and my tenth or something, and I had never before noticed that the “present day” in that movie is a sort of fictional 1984 semi-fascist thing lol. It’s subtle but it’s there
