Fuck was it really only six months? It felt like a year and a half. But time makes fools of us all I suppose

An important lesson Dolly Parton taught us all is that theme park rich is the maximum amount of rich. After that you’ve peaked and should just give the rest to charity.

Every time I went to explain the vague plot to someone to tell them to watch it I had to double back and say: I know this sounds schlocky but understand it was completely earnest and made me cry

Thank you, I feel seen. My brain’s roommates are a monkey that only knows that having fun is important and an alien that wants to help but fucking hates that monkey

He is absolutely part of why Alien Resurrection is maybe in my top three favorite Alien movies. I know it’s not like a good movie, but it never stops “never stopping” in a way I can’t help but love

💯 me (old, never encountered Sabrina Carpenter before) to my wife: Is she Dolly Parton 2? Within five minutes she’s doing Dolly song. It feels like a human person shouldn’t have such great chemistry with muppets but I did love it though

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

A recording tells you to leave a message at the tone, then emits a sound unlike any you've heard before. Your neck feels wet—you reach up to find your ear is bleeding. You watch the phone absorb your blood, and the mechanical voice informs you that your message has been received.

It’s like their angle is that the 1) manic aloof dream girls are real and 2) that’s a bad thing somehow and not an important discovery that we should study

Their 2024 album Heaven :x: Hell slaps too! They still got, or had it (retired). There is a Star Wars Ep III amv for Pieces that was very important to me twenty years ago and is probably still a load bearing part of my soul

You know, I haven’t thought about adult swim shows that air exclusively at 2am in a looong time. Like, before I was old enough to drive. But I am just now realizing that they don’t record the VO at 2am. They just bring that 2am energy to whenever it was recorded…and that makes me so tired.

Don’t keep your tool batteries in the garage. I know it doesn’t make any sense, but the temperature swings shorten the life of them. I have that mower/battery too and I think I had to top it off once over the winter. It blinks and wants to sit on the charge

In the Cars (2006) vein Mater’s Tall Tales (Cars shorts) are not the worst thing my three year old watches regularly. There are some repeated joke structures including the Miats. A couple ones I laugh too hard at are El Materdor and Tokyo Mater (the cop joke killed me).
