Realizing as I watch this that, humans or aliens or mice, all of Bluth’s characters have a very distinctive movement to them.

Apparently Don Bluth’s most overlooked and underrated animated feature, Titan A.E., is on Prime if that’s relevant to anyone’s interests.

the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

Seen at least one “Why isn’t she fat” critique and, just, don’t. I get that she is in the book, but that and her acne was also King’s too-easy shorthand for why she was an outsider. It would not read the same today, nor is it necessary. I feel De Palma proved that decades ago.

Having sat with this for nearly a week, it also occurs to me that Lanterns did more to interrogate what it might mean to be black and a cop than the new Alex Cross series ever did.

yeah what this actually is is not “lol the DCCC is broke” it’s “we think we can win way more districts than we originally thought, please give us some more money so we can run up the score” this is good and we want them to succeed

Who went through all the major platforms where the Pentagon might stream their barbaric firing squad "livestream" execution to see if it violated their policies? Me. I did it.

I kind of liked the finale, even if I thought the “slide sideways” explanation was a bit of a cop-out. But I am also a sucker for a well-executed bookend.

Never had any issues in and out of DFW myself (other than a weather delay), but it’s so big I can see how a small gate issue or delay could quickly snowball.

Just had to remind a pair of amorous teens that there was a security camera in the recording booth they were using, and the girl about *died.* (They weren’t doing anything too embarrassing yet but … teens and hormones, after all.)

i have no sympathy for trump voters who regret their vote. he came down that escalator in 2015 and said mexicans were rapists. that was after saying the first black president of this country was illegally installed. if you voted for him after that, you endorsed it all. go fuck off, forever.
