It's tough to watch, he's shown to be such a good, loving person that it hurts to watch him be taken down like that, that would never fly today and I think that's a good thing. It's worth seeing if you're a fan, a lot of great early footage of SCTV, and clips from his films which showed he had chops

Watched this yesterday, overall it's a very sweet eulogy, lots of "he was the best." Some of the most compelling scenes were of reporters grilling him about his size, dressing it up as concern, but really just saying "wouldn't your life be better if you were thinner" and his reactions to that

The classics never go out of style! I’m partial to the white cheddar Mac and cheese but always have some KD on deck when the craving hits, which it does

As weird and “not for me” as I think it is, some people may find comfort in those animated videos, but, sending them to someone who is going to be dealing with grief for the rest of their life is just cruel, selfish, and narcissistic (IMO etc)

As a card carrying AI hater, I love this response from Robin Williams daughter to people who keep sending her AI videos of her dad, a repugnant thing to do to someone, especially without their consent. The Human Centipede line is *chefs kiss

Bizarre, I’ve only recently learned about Thema, seems to be coming up more, I send book data out for work and it’s being included more in metadata, for Amazon and Indigo. I’m not a librarian but I felt smart for a minute as I recognized BIC! 😂

Is that the system that’s now called Thema?

Absolutely, I loved that as well, I really appreciated how understated the story was, a lot of silences but not once was I bored or waiting for something to happen, some very quietly intense scenes like when he’s washing his hands, I’ve always liked Murphy as an actor but was amazed by this

Excellent film, adaptation of the equally excellent novella by Claire Keegan. Masterclass acting by Cillian Murphy, best film I’ve watched in a while

I was well into adulthood but years ago when I went to Italy I tried practicing Italian, went to order a drink, tried it out, guy smiled and said “where are you from?” I laughed and asked how I did and he said “oh very bad, but A for effort” had a good laugh about it

Not really related but I always get a kick out of how impatient, and unwilling to do literally any reading, many social media users are. I saw a post on a casting group, was full of what they’re looking for, dates, where to send info, deadlines, and the first comment is “details???”

Haha, we’ll see! Hoping it’s temporary and just a bug, weird that’s it’s effecting some people and some not, I even tried adding the account to my phone but that wouldn’t work, officially tomorrow’s problem 😁
