(SPOILER) i once got in an unreasonably heated discussion with my brother's then-girlfriend because at the end of the movie she thought that maybe they could work out their problems this time, which to me undercuts the ENTIRE POINT OF THE MOVIE

went on a lengthy and disdainful jeremiad about AI in front of my class of 10 people (including "it makes people stupider"), forgetting that one of the people in class had told me she uses it 😞

as a kid growing up in Texas, New York City seemed so far away and glamorous and mysterious and cool, and as an adult I know it's just a city like any other but whenever I see shit like this I get a little of that same feeling of magic again

now trying to convince a friend of this and i thought of two more pieces of (circumstantial) evidence: - there's never any theory or explanation of what's possessing her, even though we know it's not her - the parts where she suddenly goes into a terrifying yowl and then immediately chills out

16. Never ever open and then close a bathroom medicine chest mirror 17. Never ever open and close a door that obscures part of the room 18. Never be a boyfriend 19. Don't own knives 20. If something seems scary and then turns out to be nothing and you relax and laugh, it was nice knowing you

I've gone to two non-Alamo theaters this month and both of them had the big reclining chairs that Alamo has and I didn't see anyone on their phones or being overly talkative at either of them, so I guess now the Alamo pitch is it's the 1 theater where you will DEFINITELY see phones during the movie

i asked a server for water and he told me to use the qr code, which bc the lights were already dimmed required using the flashlight on my phone. i then had to fill out two screens of information, including my email and credit card number. for a glass of water. i'm done with them.

what's on your nightstand?
photo of an end table / nightstand lit by a table lamp. a realistic painting of two fish and a tootsie pop leans against the lamp. in front of it are three lioconcha hieroglyphica shells. toward the right are a cheap digital alarm clock, a wristwatch, a silver bangle, a scented candle in a holographic jar, and a bottle of clobetasol propionate. at the center are two boxed decks of cards, the oblique strategies deck and the moonlit hermit tarot, and some paper money folded in half with two quarters on it.
