Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie from the year you turned 18. There were a few - Sneakers, Zentropa, Last of the Mohegans, The Crying Game, Highway 61 (one of my absolute deep cut favorites) but I gotta go with this

I'm sure this will be fine. New Yorkers have a famously well-developed sense of decorum when they are inconvenienced.

The best comic book movie of all time is not based on a comic book: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. It captures the *experience* of a comic - coming in to a story mid-way and learning about all these characters with established relationships.

This image randomly made me think of this epic interview with Pat Metheny talking about Kenny G. You may get dressed down, yelled at, chewed out or put through the ringer at points in your life. You will never take a verbal beating as bad as this. ontherecord.co/2020/05/30/p...
A quote from an interview with Pat Metheny "But when Kenny G decided that it was appropriate for him to defile the music of the man who is probably the greatest jazz musician that has ever lived by spewing his lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing all over one of the great Louis’s tracks (even one of his lesser ones), he did something that I would not have imagined possible."

But for the love of God they should stop treating MAGA like a legitimate movement that is playing by the same rules as everyone else. Regular order is over. That clip of JD Vance admitting that he’s happy to “create” stories ought to play in front of literally every single discussion of Jimmy Kimmel.
