Going on the radio tomorrow to be interviewed about my website. They're probably going to say "Oh, you like jazz? Name three jazz albums." and I'll be so nervous I won't be able to respond.

It just took me ten minutes to figure out that ESPN+ doesn't really exist anymore, and that ESPN Select replaced it, and I'm not paying Disney an extra $13 a month on top of what I'm already paying for YouTube TV, I don't care if every single K-State game is on ESPN+. They can eat my entire ass.

Saw Dog Day Afternoon was randomly on TCM and I'm mesmerized. Has there ever been a more anti cop pro trans movie? Sidney Lumet was the best.

If you make me baseball commissioner I will outlaw punting when in the opponent's territory in college football and also eliminate deliberately fouling while up three in college basketball. How? I have no idea. But instead of shmoozing with billionaires I'll take the time to figure it out.

@nightowlcardz.bsky.social just sent off cards to be included in the REA auction in April. Going to be in the catalog and everything. A first for me. They lowered their fee to from 15% to 5% for me, which I thought was nice.

It was produced by Ted Turner, who then sold the broadcasting rights to the Turner networks for pennies compared to what a movie nominated for Best Picture would get. Tim Robbins said that the residuals were basically nothing.

There was a time in the late 90s to early 00s where it was on TV dang near constantly. I have no facts to support this, but based on my time working in a used CD/DVD store in that era, it was one of the best selling DVDs too. Shawshank/Titanic reached a level of ubiquity we might never see again.
Shawshank redemption has the weirdest cultural position of any movie. If you think it’s a bad movie you probably don’t like good movies. If it’s your favorite movie of all time you probably don’t like good movies. If you like good movies you have probably never thought about it for more than 5 mins

back in the forum days you'd flame the fuck out of the local obnoxious dipshit knowing you're catching a week ban for it, take that ban with honor, and gain mad respect for it. Nowadays people just whine. it's pathetic.

Poster's madness is really a thing, folks. Most of the kind, caring folks I know are on their second or third account by now; screaming about a (justified) 72 hour ban is a terrible look.
