I have to give it to the translators/subtitlers on #TheApothecaryDiaries for capturing complex characters and situations, still maintaining the humor and making me look up "moxibustion."
As a Vietnamese American, I had no idea that "Auld Lang Syne," wasn't the default on NYE, but Vietnam loves to play ABBA instead. I investigated, and the roots of course, go back to the war www.salon.com/2025/12/31/a... @salon.com

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Happy Honda Days! 🚗
I think one of the defining things about our era and about conservativism, is an inability to distinguish between like, the actual government, and mid-level marketing managers at Target (who choose "happy holidays" to avoid leaving out non-Christian customers)
In retrospect the Bush-era War On Christmas stuff seems more ominous than it did at the time. It was just cable news guys crying about dumb/fake shit, then and now; I mean the campaign to turn Christmas, which most everyone likes and feels warmly about, into just another thing to get mad about.

Paltrow laughed off biographers and adulterers before turning in one of her best roles. We can learn a thing or two.
