Shoutout to the guy who shipped my complete Calvin and Hobbes inside of three boxes. A giant raspberry to the guy who rolled up my @KurtSchlichter book like a newspaper for shipping.
We don’t need to see everything. I hated Kirk’s infamous Kobayashi Maru test and wished they’d just left it alone in my imagination.
🚨 NEXT UP at #SDCC 2025 is STAR TREK: Khan! Alex Kurtzman has taken the stage to chat about it! #StarTrek
Everyone remembers “I will always love you” but for my money her effortless performance of the fake single (I have nothing) from her fake album release in the movie is more impressive
People speculate on when we had peak race relations, and I think it was right about here
They’re just going to keep trying to win on vibes. It may be true that Rahm Emanuel is the only guy who is ruthless enough to do what needs to be done to counter the vibe drift that’s killing the DNC
Dude, you disappeared while a flotilla was marinating off the coast of Southern California. You gave speeches about racist highways. And you ignored the disaster in East Palestine, Ohio. 🤡🤡🤡
Weird
A Delta Air Lines pilot was arrested on Saturday after Flight 2809 from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) landed at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The Boeing 757 had encountered minor delays earlier in the flight due to low visibility caused by fog,…
This is the 2028 Democrat nominee for President
Do you know this one?
Last time I went flying I did 8 or 9 landings. On the 3rd or 4th one I came in high and hot and was thinking about how I could get it down when my CFI said “now would be a good time for you to show me a go around”🤣🤣🤣
3 things in this one 1 - The Gloves 2 - Last time I shared this, some pilots stated he should have gone around 3 - The Gloves
14-year-old for 6 straight hours: silence 14-year-old 1.2 nanoseconds after I press play on part 2 of the Billy Joel documentary: “hey, Dad?”
The whole story about Hitler becoming Hitler because he got rejected from art school is complete BS, the sort of dime-store lazy psychology you'd hear from someone on terminal social work brain.
One thing I don't really care for is the revisionist effort to make the evil characters sympathetic anti-heroes. Do it on occasion, fine, but some people are just evil.
Friend of mine was a writer on a show that was not ST but modeled on it. The showrunner said “we need some kind of tech that can tell them what plants are safe to eat.” My friend said “like a Tricorder?” The showrunner said “what’s that?”
There are no female Jem’hadar. The Jem’hadar are a genetically engineered race created to be warriors for the Dominion. Their entire existence is focused on the kill. This just further proves the people making Star Trek truly don’t give a flying fuck about it.
The least believable part of The Omega Man is asking me to believe that if a man were alone in a big city, the best bottle of booze on his bar would be Cutty Sark.
The less interesting version of Marvel’s Civil War (and I say that as a DC fan and Marvel hater)
On a scale of 1 to 5 ⭐️ what would you rate this film?
If my fist is ever behind my chin in a fight, I’ve made a horrible mistake
Are you intimidated?
Yes… I had this soundtrack on CD
Alan Silvestri’s score for the Back to the Future trilogy is just *chef’s kiss*
I think this is correct… but maybe the more interesting question is why they appear to have sprung into existence pretty much overnight sometime in the 60’s
They got easier to catch, so the sort of person inclined to, uh, serial kill was either caught quickly or decided to explore other pursuits. I genuinely believe that's pretty much what actually happened.
Watch the Pope’s Exorcist… it’s a bad movie but you’ll come away thinking “goddamn… Crowe is such a movie star… even fat and with a beard”
Russell Crowe is an icon. Period. End of story. He transcends film: you don’t need to be a cinephile to know or love this man’s work. I think Crowe’s still got a few more solid chapters left in his storied career. I never tire from watching a vintage Crowe performance.

I always loved that Dennis Miller used it as the theme song for his HBO show
“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is one of the best songs of the 1980s, and it was put to perfect use in Martha Coolidge’s “Real Genius,” a brilliant and lovely and inspirational and gloriously funny film with layers of meaning that rival “Groundhog Day.”
