How old are you when your Friday is messed up because you finally decided to read MOBY-DICK and the paperback Penguin edition was delivered just as a brief rain fell and it ruined it on your stoop?

YouTube TV lets me feel the same Phillies anxiety in an air-b-and-b in mid Pennsylvania as in my South Philly rowhouse and I guess this is progress.

Finally not in Philadelphia for one night.
Looking out from the back of a house. A corn field, trees. Hills in the distance. The evening sky is mottled with patchy clouds looking like gray-tinged cotton balls stretched out for a child’s school project.

And also from the antique mall today. So, the premise of this sign is that your car covered in snow is also… that lady in underwear and a cape?
A metal sign with the text “BE HER HERO
When It's  BELOW ZERO
FILL HER TANK WITH NU-BLUE SUNOCO
QUICK STARTING” Background, a silver car with snow. Foreground, a lady not wearing much. Her boots and underwear are the same color as the car.

The kid getting this Christmas 1991. Staring at the box. Dad - “What’s the matter? You asked Santa for a train set!”
In the box, an Operation Desert Storm electric train set. All in khake, complete with a car carrying a Patriot missile. It’s illustrated with an early 90’s soldier in desert camo.

Really great thread here and this essay is wonderful. It makes me feel more sane for being long repulsed by this ghoul of a show.
It is a performance of joy so excessive, so desperate, that it reveals the void it attempts to cover. It is the logic of the assembly line applied to human connection. What Fallon offers is a standardized production of “fun” that feels increasingly like a desperate plea to ignore the crumbling world outside the studio walls.

NEW: I came across a bookseller who was afraid that a mysterious company trying to buy some of his rarest books was going to use them to train AI models. I went down the rabbithole with him, and was confused and altogether existentially weirded out by what I found www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When you first suggested something like this ages and ages ago (I think for HBO series?), I threw this together, but could never get it quite right.
A fake cover for a Gold Key comic adapting a CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM episode. In this case, "The Survivor."

I often come out of a movie now feeling wiped out, desolate—and often it's a movie that the audience around me has reacted to noisily, as if it were having a high, great time—and I think I feel that way because of the nihilism in the atmosphere. (1974)

Remember when there was that national draft in the 90s where all of us had to play Rizzo in GREASE on Broadway? I think I had a weekend in May 1994? 95? Not sure.

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you see it?
From THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS - Chas kneels, petting a Dalmatian, he has just gotten from Royal (via firemen). Chas is saying, "I've had a rough year, dad." Royal puts his hand on Chas' shoulder, saying, "I know you have, Chassy." I AM BEGINNING TO TEAR UP JUST THINKING ABOUT IT, YOU MONSTERS.

Dr. Venkman,
First off, great meeting last Wednesday. I have to say that a lot of people here at the agency are excited to be working with your company again. I have Brian looking into some ad buys in the usual  places- WINS, Daily News, some transit placements, etc. We should have something to show you by the end of the week.

That being said- my creative team has some questions about the sketches you sent over. The biggest one is in regards to the changes you want to your logo. They're wondering if you're completely set on the ghost figure holding up the two fingers? We feel the original logo we designed is till fresh and effectively communicates the "Ghostbusters" mission. Also, we can do some testing, but chances are good that there's still a good public memory for it

Do the two fingers have something to do with peace? Victory? Some sort of special two-for-one offer? If you could give some clarity as to the why, that'd really help us develop a few mockups for you to look at.

Again, just let me know and we can get started. Welcome back!

Sincerely,
Ellen Hathmark
