The Ass of Orlac

I think "Merry Christmas, Despite Everything" greeting cards would sell.

I also really like "I don't know, it was a big apartment".

You could also just create many seperate instances of the same course but with identical meeting time, place, and instructor, right?

Or pad the numbers with ghost grad classes with ghost enrollment.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said -- "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert...
Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a Trump Gold Card lies,"

I'll chime in to add that "eagerly and sadly", as it's used here, is just some real D- writing.

Starting a rumor that dressing nicely while flying is the only way to ward this fella off

She's got a plan for that

Yeah ok, I see what you're saying. That does make a lot of sense.

I was probably being too generous to the guy.... but I really did like him way back when, it's a shame to see what he decided he wants to be.
December 5, 2025 at 6:20 AM
I think maybe he thinks he does, but because his small club audience is exclusively just there to hoot and holler at him saying nasty things he isn't actually getting feedback on his comedy as comedy?

His recent Netflix sets really play like its his first time trying any of this out...

The degree by which his comedy plummeted since he went this route is staggering.

My theory is he can't workshop his material anymore? You can't tell what works and what doesn't comedically if your audience is just there to applaud wildly at slurs.

Movie is just a vehicle for Joe Don Baker

Peter Lorre comes to mind?

This is essentially the premise to Severence, just with longer periodicity.

We're seeing all the same things in my math department.

It's hard to communicate to non-academic what a perceptible, sudden, discrete shift it is. If something can't be done instantly and formulaically, they can't do it at all.

Lubitsch's To Be Or Not To Be is a gem, though
November 29, 2025 at 3:29 AM
Yes. Or else maybe just not understand why they were at all, which also dampens the kind of reaction Miller wants to have.

The question is "who does this get them that they didn't already have?", and I don't imagine its anybody.

I think so too. First law of America seems to be that shootings, even the very horrific ones, consistently just do not have the level of impact you'd expect.

Great poster, great movie
November 26, 2025 at 7:11 PM
Same!

Taking a stroll down to the Mysterious Bookshop to get in the mood!

I really, truly love how Lazarus always feels simultaneously both so very sprawling and rich and free, and then also just as tight and complete and satisfying.

Very excited to find out what happens next!

would you ask an eagle not to soar
November 16, 2025 at 5:05 AM
I've really enjoyed La Diabla as well
