advice to young writers:

- begin the first sentence of every paragraph with, "So basically the whole deal is, is that [...]"
- begin subsequent sentences with, "And plus, [...]"
- end every paragraph with, "So that basically wraps it up as far as all that goes."
- 4 blank lines between paragraphs

a lot of people are leaving Game Night off of their best movies of 2024 lists just because — these are their words — “it came out in 2018, Brian,” which is, frankly, the kind of close-minded thinking that got us into the predicament we are in as a society
