Why is Egon Spengler’s hair colored that way in THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS? I’ve read that it made him easier to distinguish visually, in the animated medium and as an action figure. But I have my own headcanon, with a better explanation. 👻

Still of Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson’s character in the 1984 film GHOSTBUSTERS) speaking the memorable line: “I have seen shit that’ll turn you white!”

I know this is among the First-Worldliest of First-World problems, but one of my big peeves is game show contestants that answer every question with "That would be ___________”

Screen capture of a recent episode of The CW’s “Trivial Pursuit”, showing a contestant answering a question: “Would that be Captain Underpants?” He did this a lot throughout the game.

Me: Finally finishing this box of Grinch cereal! It wasn’t very good. Him: You could skip the “very” part.

Discarding an empty box of Grinch cereal in the recycling, at long last. I bought this HOW many months ago? The stuff lasts forever, like the Orcs’ equivalent of lembas bread. Being from Costco, it was a double-size package.

Flavoring was bland and joyless, with the marshmallows few and far between. So let me officially close out this holiday season, this twelfth day of Christmas, this day of Epiphany, with my very last bowl of “The Grinch by Dr. Seuss” cereal.

I had a number of Dr. Seuss books, and watched the cartoons every year. But something about the overall aesthetic creeped me out, even as I looked on.

The moon is always full in Hollywood, and because SINNERS mentioned a specific date (October 16, 1932), naturally I went to TimeAndDate.com to fact-check. Looks like Mr. Coogler did his homework. See alt text for further details.

A digital sign for a matinée showing of the movie SINNERS, at the local Alamo Drafthouse

A chart from TimeAndDate.com showing moon phases for the year 1932, to compare with the phase as shown in the movie SINNERS. The film begins in medias res at a church on Sunday (10/16), and depicts a full moon the previous Saturday night. In reality, there would have been a waning gibbous moon, having just passed full that Friday morning (still ~97% visible). Close enough.

Rewatching the 1998 SOUTH PARK episode “Chef’s Salty Chocolate Balls”, which not only predicted BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, but also last week’s announcement of the Sundance Film Festival moving to Colorado!

Robert Redford: “We must move the festival to another small town and begin again.”

Cartman: “I love your salty chocolate balls, Chef.”
