I know I should wait for the Odyssey in the historically accurate format Homer intended: as AI slop on my phone. But the Grand Lake theater will have to do.

Replace “war” with “grading” and I guess this could be true for me right now. Then fuck Brett Stephens to fix the rest of it.

My little cluster of Film and Media Studies Scholars is a lot closer to the Tabletop Wargaming & Miniature Painting Community that I previously suspected

The best part of the 1972 film version of Play it as it Lays is definitely Anthony Perkins as BZ. But maybe the second best part is finding out that Joel Schumacher did the clothes?
