Weird watching something live with commercials again. And by that I mean depressing, because you see every ad 3-4 times and most of them are from another company under their umbrella i.e. nothing they're being paid for.

In Die Hard 3, not only do they skip past part of the solution for the water jug puzzle, they also pick it up at a spot that the two of them never would have arrived at if they didn't already have it figured out, yet have a light bulb kind of moment to finish it off.
#FilmSky, a quick question; what is the pettiest thing you have had to be annoyed at a film? I ask because I am watching The Gift from 2000, and the main character does divination with Zener Cards, which are not the same thing as Tarot at all. Why go for a more boring looking option?

Why do pizza place employees not understand that we share these things and no one wants to get ripped off with this tiny ass slice?

I joked about Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure, but in all sincerity, I hope that @vinsyn.bsky.social will consider STEALING HOME for their WB acquisition list. Only a full frame (snapper!) DVD exists, and that is shameful.

I didn't think it was really my destiny to make end credits for a living, but the fact that the perfect shade of off-white for that text is #bcbcbc (my initials / common nickname x3) is kind of telling.

Gonna watch the Chevy Chase doc today! Very excited. As should all of you, because only my take on it will be the correct one. As I am undoubtedly the only one who has a poster for the Chevy Chase Show hanging proudly on their wall.

Why are modern board games so impenetrable? I never needed to go online to watch a video tutorial for Monopoly or Clue. Now it's practically a necessity.

The ratio of "Noooo, Chain Reaction is closing!" to "I am going to Chain Reaction!" posts I've seen in my life is roughly 1,000:1.
I have honestly seen more love for CHAIN REACTION with Keanu Reeves than I ever did this place, which is apparently essential to life itself.

Tempted to go over to Twitter and undoubtedly see that one of the few humans I know still using it is now suddenly an expert on Venezuela, because it will get them likes and RTs, which carry more weight than anything else in their life.

A guy in the parking lot just held up me and two other cars while trying to back into a spot, finally (almost) succeeding on his third attempt, and I have to wonder yet again why we aren't legally allowed to murder these people.

The Reiner/ Crystal/ Ephron commentary on WHEN HARRY MET SALLY eventually becomes the three of them just watching and laughing. At one point I forgot it was even toggled on.

WE BURY THE DEAD had *eight* vanity logos, NEON not among them despite a credit at the end touting their involvement.
I'm old enough to remember when it was weird to see more than two.
