It’s still 2025.

I haven’t watched my yearly allotment of Christmas movies.

Hamnet doesn’t even open here until tomorrow.

I'm watching 4 college football games simultaneously in split screen. I'm old enough to remember when there wouldn't be a total of 4 nationally broadcast games on the same day.

I’ve been trying to figure out what kind of look Saban is going for here and I’ve settled on “hill country revenue agent”

This is just how we sing it now.
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
Not really my heart
Just somebody's heart
This year
If the cops should appear
Please tell them that you don't know me

Ok, let's do this. And I agree with Scalzi on Andor.
1. Rogue One
2. Empire
3. Star Wars
4. Return of the Jedi
5. Solo
6. Last Jedi
7. Phantom Menace
8. Force Awakens
9. Revenge of the Sith
10. Attack of the Clones
11. Rise of Skywalker
1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Star Wars
3. Rogue One
4. The Force Awakens
5. The Last Jedi
6. Return of the Jedi
7. Solo
8. Revenge of the Sith
9. Attack of the Clones
10. The Rise of Skywalker
11. The Phantom Menace

Andor, not a movie, is the best overall Star Wars product and everybody knows it
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil

Suck it in suck it in suck it in if youre Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else youll win
And then begin to see what youre doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me so desperately I sing to thee of love
Sure but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self

Askin' you to have compassion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stutterin' and mumblin' for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watchin' at the end of the day
In the livin' room, laughin' like, "What did he say?"

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

I don't care for soccer. I'm unlikely to ever go to a game. But, I don't see how this can be anything other than a win for expanding downtown. The team is really good and draws a loyal fan base, and the location is in a good part of downtown that's easy to walk to. I'm all for it.
SOCCER STADIUM WAITING? Union Omaha soccer and the City of Omaha are planning a stadium to anchor a new 20-acre mixed-use entertainment and housing district. But it might need a bottlenecked state incentive.

- CARTOONS!
- everyone in the British isles: you ok?
top 5 film genres:

- samurai, yakuza, kaiju, ghosts: pick two

- floatin' down the river of time

- spaghetti western (may or may not be an *actual* western)

- grimy urban Technicolor, either in Italian or with spies

- Nazi punching
Top five film genres:

- pre-WW2 Hollywood comedy where plot’s tertiary at best, all vibes

- French or Italians lookin’ fabulous, talkin’ sophisticated

- your dad loves this movie & now that you’re 50 so do you

- porn is art when it’s softcore & everyone dresses nice

If I had a nickel for every time I was at a sporting event with Jason Kelce this year, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
