Coyote vs Acme gave me more laughs per minute than any other film this year. I am 100% a Looney Tunes kid.

Puzzled Pint is genuinely lovely, I look forward to it every month. If you've got one near you (and you probably do), they're worth checking out!

Replayed Sayonara Wild Hearts just because it's been too long and that game is perfect. Gold Rank on Album Arcade from pure muscle memory. Still got it.

It's so good! I only heard about it because I occasionally check to see what Chris Miller and Phil Lord are up to, would've had no idea otherwise.

A recent hobby of mine has been watching long winded explanations of the story of Kingdom Hearts, and it's reached the point that I actually kinda want to play the games? Is this how it starts? Am I already too far gone?

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.
