genuinely very few things more satisfying than reading the kinds of emails rich and famous people send each other

It's fucking crazy that Geoff Keighley isn't British

Hot life tip from your old pal Chris: every time someone online tries to relitigate the virtues of Hamilton: An American Musical (2015), use that space to talk and think about Season of da Siccness: Da Resurrection (1995) instead

Closing in on a year of not knowing what centrist politics guys are talking about when they get angry at "the groups." Pleased to announce that we will continue not knowing, we will not let you down

Very late pass: after about 15 years of people (correctly) recommending and hyping Lake Mungo, I watched this movie and am not sure why I spent about that same length of time seeing a billion inferior horror movies "about grief"
