Anytime scientists name something they should take into account that someone will one day have to say that name in front of a bunch of 6th graders and yes this is about the planet Uranus.

A scene where a guy Assembles a Gun is one of the coolest things you can put in a movie.

Great song by a great band. Been hearing this one at their live shows for years now and I’m glad to be able to listen to it on demand now.
My kid and I wrote a little song. His band expanded it, recorded it, and released it today. They're in an Exile on Main Street/MJ Lenderman phase. "Vegas, Baby!" by Black Cat Parade youtu.be/E0bvXbmaQ0o?...

Joining the chorus of One Battle After Another praise and also some stuff about how Mortal Kombat (1995) is good.

Nothing will make you want to knit a pair of mittens more than knitting a pair of gloves.

Looking forward to playing this on repeat until the disc no longer functions. Strong contender for the title of the Great American Movie.

In a post-apocalyptic scenario my role would be the guy in Kevin Costner’s The Postman (good movie) who runs the projector and tries to make everyone watch Universal Soldier. This is me coming out as the world’s biggest fan of Kevin Costner’s film The Postman.
