Just a boring guy sharing his opinions which are based on nothing but the thoughts in my head. Take them if ya want. Ignore them if they don't matter. Call them out if they come across hateful, ignorant, or dangerous. For my part, I do try to be mindful.

Remember on the campaign trail with Trump gave someone in a grocery store a hundred bucks as she was checking out? Fun photo op. Not sure why I thought of it now.

In my Wes Anderson Era and finally watched one of his greatest works! My thoughts below, if interested.

A ★★★★★ review of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
Such a cozy little comedy about a dysfunctional family. It explores forgiveness, legacy, and offers a snapshot of navigating family. In one of his earliest films, Wes shows himself to already be a fil...

Starting to watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High (for the first time) and it has sparked an idea. I'd love to watch "high school" movies through the decades to see what stays the same and what changed. Anyone have any suggestions of good movies going as far back as ya can?

#moviesky #filmsky
Poster for "Fast times at Ridgemont High" features a man sitting at a school desk with two women on either side of him. There is a surf board behind him. The title is in various fonts with red and white text on a purple and yellow background.

Is it wrong to go from one of the greatest films ever made to, well....something else. We all make decisions in life.

The poster for Parasite. Features a nice lawn and house with large windows. 4 people can be seen with black bars across there eyes. A pair of legs are in the lower left foreground. The poster for Hubie Halloween features Adam Sandler in front of the moon dressed in a collared shirt with a "monitor" sash. An array of characters are lined across the front with the title across the bottom.

Just finished listening to the very good book, "The Apothocene Reviewed" by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social.

Sorry, John I would have used a different scale but, it is 2025 and I'm pretty sure anything other than the 5 star system is illegal.

Definitely an off month. 4 audiobooks and no book books. Now that I've taken that break, time to get back to the reading. Also, Katabasis is very good.

1970's B movie with the sole objective of getting male butts in seats with pretty naked women. Now. That's the basic part. The interesting part is that it's actually an interesting story. The story pe...

This meme has more evidence for causation than the Autism announcement yesterday. Just sayin.
The mem shows a report that there was a Grindr outage during Charlie Kirk's funeral. The label says "Breaking: Charlie Kirk's memorial caused a SEVERE Grindr outtage in Arizona."

Poster is a yellow background with a star in the middle. The top of the star is a man dressed in Revolutionary era clothes and pointing up. The title "Hamilton" is emblazoned in white font across the front.
