I mean, I-I have absolutely no idea what we're doing here. Or what I'm doing here, or what this place is about, but I am determined to enjoy myself. And I'm very intrigued, and, oh my, this soup's delicious, isn't it, Charlie Brown?
We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and *die*. The storybooks are *bullshit*, Charlie Brown!

So long Diane Keaton. One of the greatest actors of all time that simply lit up the screen with her charisma alone.

And they also likely have other media — physical DVD/Blu-ray/CD, and streaming/digital services.
As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
