Apparently no one answering this question has seen RRR, because there are like ten right answers in that movie alone.

What a weird movie. But I liked it! And it seems like people who didn't enjoy it are complaining about "what we were sold versus what we got." Once again the guy who ignores trailers comes out on top in terms of enjoyment! 🤘🏻
Digger... I should've known the same guy who directed Birdman was involved here.

If a movie "starts 25-30 minutes after showtime," then THAT'S NOT THE SHOWTIME. If you must have your full half hour of ads and trailers, do that shit before. If a movie is listed as starting at 12:30, it should START at 12:30.

To all the MAGA supporters, famous and not, trying to jump ship early in the hopes we won't remember they were cheering the whole time.

Well, last weekend I had to turn down a trip to see Brandi Carlile because traveling there was too expensive. Today I missed out on a much more financially-viable opportunity to see Sara Bareilles because I wasn't told about the trip in time. 🤷🏻

My friend is trying to get back into reading after a long slump, and this morning she bought a Kindle toward that goal. So to help her out/celebrate the decision, I have bought This Is How You Lose the Time War for a FIFTH time, as a gift. 😁 @maxgladstone.bsky.social @amalelmohtar.com

This hype train is getting dangerously close to "This movie is Not Good, we've got to make people excited way before it actually comes out. What else can we tease??" Surprise end, not all the cast has been announced... it's getting more tiresome than enticing.

Random email from someone this morning. What do you MEAN "are there rules"? I mean, anyone can write fanfic, but if you want to publish a book about the actual series, you're kind of S.O.L. Also, it feels like "Well, YOU did it, I assume anyone can." 😛
Can anyone write a book about Stargate? Or are there rules? And if so, what are they?

One of my favorite underrated Community gags is when they had French Stewart as Vinnie, a guy who started his own celebrity look-alike company "before the goldmine of resembling French Stewart dried up."
Everyone remembers him as Harry (and fair, I do too) but I ALSO remember he was Feretti, part of the original team to go through the Stargate in the Kurt Russell movie

I am proud to say I no longer look or smell homeless! The last few days I've noticed my hair was getting shaggier, but if I shaved I'd have to shower and I didn't feel up to that. So for like three days I've been getting shaggier and stinkier until I'd finally had enough of myself.

Found a fun way to brag about my superior music tastes. I wish there were more women, but I didn't discover people like Florence + the Machine or Ingrid Michaelson until I'd been "made" by these albums. If anyone's curious, I'd be happy to let you know my favorite song from each album. 😁

I can fall asleep so easily. I could close my eyes right now and be dreaming in under ten minutes. It's STAYING asleep I can't seem to crack. Lately I've been waking up every 45 minutes to an hour and I'm sick of it.

I've felt rotten all day. I finally choked down some food and took some ibuprofen, and NATURALLY I feel much better. I'm so anti-pills, it's crazy, I don't know where I got it from. I'd rather sit and suffer than pop two pills and become human again.

It's always funny on The Office when people discover Scranton is doing really well and no one can figure out why. My dudes, Michael inherited an entire branch worth of clients and then, within a year, fired all but one of the transferred employees. Of course they're doing well!

Nothing worse than figuring out a book's plot twist halfway through and then being forced to keep reading as the characters flail around wasting time.

Rubbing my face in the fact I didn't go. Or, well, technically, trying to let me experience the concert vicariously, if we're gonna assume kind motives from our dear friends. 😁 #brandicarlile

Big thunderstorm from 2:30-3, with booming thunder and strobe lightning. Car alarm going off from 3:30-4... At least the rain was nice to listen to.

Geonn Cannon @geonncannon.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I hope it goes forward for my friend's sake. But it turns out this concert is at an outdoor venue and in the path of the nor'easter. Not a direct hit but it looks like rain is likely. Could go either way...

I just found out China Miéville has a new book out, so naturally I went and snatched it up... and discovered it's 1,200 pages (40 hours on audio). Daunting.

It's nice when there are "active weather alerts" because there's actual rain and not because "it's 1000 degrees but feels even hotter."

I haven't written anything today, but I took a picture and I've always heard those are worth 1,000 words, so is there a place I can trade that in for credit or.....

The only objectively good thing about this list is that hopefully it makes people say "Oh yeah I always meant to watch that..." Case in point, I have finally begun The Leftovers.

I admit I included some shows that I started but eventually gave up on the later seasons. But I still think those should count. I watched at least one full season of everything I clicked.

People who missed this last night! MISS ATOMIC 1962 is now officially available in paperback. And people in the US, when the author copies arrive, I'll offer signed copies of this and pretty much all my books if anyone's interested! 😁

Oh hey! This has been delayed so long for various reasons I almost went a whole month without realizing! The paperback for Miss Atomic 1962 is available now! 😃It's about a struggling magician and the ghost of a showgirl working together for fame, fortune, and love. 😁 www.amazon.com/dp/1967304017

I'll accept Slow Horses doing food/chewing noises for Jackson Lamb - it's part of who he is - but opening last night's episode with THUNDEROUS chewing from a completely different character was completely uncalled for and awful. I don't need to hear Hugo Weaving munch on chips for that long, jeez.

Byron Donalds wants people to forget how much he bent the knee to Trump, so no one share pictures like this anymore, okay? He'd really like to pretend it never happened, so just cool it with these pictures. HE DOESN'T LIKE THEM ANYMORE OKAY?
Never happened! He did not want to be there, no sir.Look at this pathetic fucker leaning into the shot, what a goddamn loser.He's just helping him stand upright, that's all.Okay this one is a little damning.

Imagine you're an author, and something you wrote is being adapted! The main actress is PERFECT, the villain is just right, and just for fun they make a little teaser trailer in-character and it looks great. And THEN imagine if the teaser trailer had... something else in it...

1,200 words today! TWELVE. HUNDRED. Brand new words, on a novel! And all I had to do was neglect a story/deadline I should've been working on instead... uh... forget that part. 1,200 words!! Best writing day in WEEKS.

It's been out almost a week, and it's not really a spoiler, but something I'm curious about in EXIT PARTY by @emilymandel.bsky.social: a character uses the phrase "My voice is my passcode" for voice verification and I've GOT to know if it's a Sneakers reference ("My voice is my passport.")

My mom asked me for help because her church was doing "top five movies of all time," and she sees VERY few movies. We finally managed to get her to five against all odds, even if it's a very weird list. She still hasn't seen the original Top Gun.
She said her pastor's list was "all three LotR movies, Interstellar, and Godfather." I was like your pastor sounds pretty basic. Also, all these religious folks and no Jesusy movies...? Not on either list? Huh...
