Today, I learned that there was more than one trim size for mass market paperbacks.
One of them fits in the shelf space I have available for the last area of an Ikea Billy I just reorganized.
Another does not. By like 1/16 of an inch. Thanks for nothing, Del Rey.

Brian’s Polar Express save can now legally drink alcohol in the United States
In one of my most treasured memory card archeology finds, a kid named Brian received a PS2 and a copy of The Polar Express twenty years ago today and played it exactly once before never touching it again.

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

Watching a movie about a lonely heart who comes out of their shell to form a found family with an unlikely group of strangers. That’s right, Alien (1979) is a Christmas movie

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Magnolia. An utter waste of time.
Never mind movies you’ve watched multiple times, name a movie you’ve watched once and would never watch again.

Intensely funny because it seems like the vast majority of people at that event were convinced it was fully autonomous and Musk has repeatedly recently claimed they're not tele-operated

This includes Fraggle Rock, fyi. A collaboration between Jim Henson and the CBC.
Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art
