I’m a bigger fan of those two It movies than most people it seems, but I think the new show might be… kind of boring?
The kids don’t get nearly enough screen time because of this weird military plot and that just seems really off-base for what the novel is.

the lone Coens commentary track is on The Man Who Wasn't There and they point out that in one shot of Billy Bob Thornton sitting listening to Scarlett Johansson playing piano (which I can only find a lo-res copy of) he visibly has a boner

It will probably be somebody we’ve never heard of as the Padres new owner, but for conversation who would you want as a Padres next owner?

Makes sense now why they didn’t fire AJ and why they hired a schlub like Stammen as manager.

Gee I wonder why Sheel didn’t go to the Peter Seidler street unveiling thing.

Padres said, hold my beer.
Last year, the team didn’t announce the date of FanFest until Dec 27 and we have a new manager to argue about - so guys, we are off to a pretty decent offseason 👍😅

Genuine question I was thinking about yesterday as I watched someone run a red light 2-3 seconds after the walk signal turned on - if there are cameras on every stop light in San Diego, and the city of San Diego is broke, and people are getting mowed down by cars, why not ticket red light runners?

Baby, I know I hurt you and I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean it and I promise I’ll never do it again. Now go make me dinner.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

It’s a good thing absolutely nothing bad is going to happen in the next twelve months before those elections huh?

Im hoping this gets a 4K release in the US because it’s been recently restored and is one of the most beautiful films ever made. I think right now there’s just an Australian release.
Me frantically searching for anyone anywhere praising The Fall (2006) so I can chime in and say it’s good
Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

Oh great, now there’s one thing I actually like about Tim Kaine and that makes me mad.
This is far and away my pettiest Tim Kaine gripe but the Senator’s advance staff always deliver a bottle of Maker’s Mark that is for him only to fundraising events so he doesn’t have to do toasts with the cheap beer and wine the hosts provide and that always really irked me
