CORRECTION: On page 52 in issue #1 of Ape Sh*t, the photo below is listed with other pics as examples of injuries from capuchin monkeys. This, however, was from a spider monkey. I regret the error.

Photo of a human arms with what appear to be teeth marks and swollen, reddened skin.

Today I learned that Air Supply never broke up. They are still out there, performing, AND THEY MUST BE STOPPED.

It’s Christmas in September! I’m expecting three large boxes of DVDs to arrive today. For that same reason, I am anticipating needing a good divorce attorney if I don’t get home before my wife.

As someone who found the first Mila Jovovitch version uninspired action instead of survival horror, The new Resident Evil movie delivered all the tension and horror without paying lip service to fanboys. It was true to the atmosphere of the game, not the tiresome characters.

I got a Facebook message from someone i knew in high school asking “Is XX your brother?” I said yes, he sure is, to which he replied “Small world!” Dude, we grew up in a town of 5000 people. Average graduating class was about 125 then. It’s not like there were seven different Garden families around.

I am eagerly awaiting the Nathan Fielder semidoc about Elizabeth Holmes, but seeing that still and clip on every other social media feed is giving me serious gross out.

Very true. Even their framing “AI may kill us all” dodges their participation. “We are powerless to stop developing AI and stuffing it into every product and service we can think of because we are just doing its almighty will.”

Any disruption of my routine invariably means a day or two where I forget to take my meds. In theory, this is the very thing my meds are supposed to prevent.

According to my research into the 1970s*, people would frequently move halfway across the country to avoid confronting their problems. * Research includes the film Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore and the song By The Time I Get To Phoenix

I am quality checking a DVD of Incredibles II, volume down, barely paying attention, and glancing up at the screen, I was momentarily thrown by the realism of the background and the cartoonishness of Mister Incredible.

For someone that works at a music archive, I have a weird relationship with music. For example, there are some songs that are so g-d good that I don’t want to listen to anything else by that artist for fear that rush will be diluted.

There’s the fight scene in They Live that is hilarious because it is so long, then there is is the fight scene in Three Days Of The Condor that is hilarious because it is Robert Redford in a fight scene.

A Mighty Wind isn’t as funny as the other Christopher Guest comedies, but Eugene Levy’s Mitch Cohen is one of his best characters, Catherine O’Hara, as always, is a master of her craft, and Jennifer Coolidge is absolutely hilarious. Oh, and Bob Balaban? At his Balabaniest.
