I know Kubrick wasn’t the nicest director to work for, but at least there are sweet pictures of him directing Danny Lloyd

*basket...i can't afford a damn "cart-full" of groceries.

The new Paddington movie sounds badass.

and then have to get it home in one trip because youre not going to the car twice

Katamari Damacy-style game where you stagger around a large grocery store collecting more and more items you have to awkwardly position about your body because like a fool you thought you didn’t need a cart.

I’ve always wanted to do a scratch & sniff follow-along the way some authors offer playlists.

"Listen up fives, a ten is speaking"

Please be patient with me, all the good posts I ordered are waiting to get through the Strait Of Hormuz :(

By favorite book is The Simpsons first ~12 seasons

This whole thing between the Pope, Trump, and Iran actually makes sense if you know the lore

Also the order can and should be different depending on your POV character's personality. Some people are really attuned to their sense of smell, others barely notice. The order can also change based on circumstances. If your POV character is wearing something tight or itchy she'd prioritize Touch.

Bonus side effect: this is also a helpful thing to remember if you have a panic attack!

I think articles should have a CAPTCHA that's a quiz about the contents and if you get it wrong you can't comment.

What's your ACTUAL favorite book/movie/album/whatever? Like, you have a default favorite thing that you LOVE almost as much as anything else in the world and that's your answer when asked. But if you're honest, there's another one that's your real favorite but maybe it's not quite so acceptable.

Me trying to hack into your computer by typing HEAR SMELL FEEL TASTE as the password

Self-care is skipping past song lyrics in fantasy novels.

For years I had a post-it on my monitor that just said "HEAR - SMELL - FEEL - TASTE" to remind me to describe the scene beyond just what the character was seeing. This is a novel, not a narrated storyboard.

With a heavy sigh I add The Catholic Church to my ongoing "Guess I'm On Their Side Now" list, joining other recent additions The Iranian Government and the TSA.

I hate inviting The Joker to game night, he always makes a big deal about wanting to play "Normal Eights"

ok yeah but when I was 27 I befriended a 23 year old and she said “I hope me and ____ are like you and ____ one day” so everyone should keep in mind young couples are getting aggressively rapid at implementing this

what the fuck is even going on

Japanese sci-fi: two robots in space, yearning American sci-fi: man gets the author's beliefs on polygamy confirmed by the aliens of ramalama IV french sci-fi: two horny bounty hunters visit the Galaxy of Breasts British sci-fi: nuclear war. Everyone dead. America's fault

When I drove a cab and picked up tourists from Kentucky, I’d ask: “Maybe you can clear something up, do you pronounce the capital looey-vill or loo-uh-vul?” “Loo-uh-vul! Only yankees say it the other way.” “See, that’s where I get confused. I always thought your capital was pronounced Frankfort.”

The Shining is a film of many intricate layers. On the surface, it seems to be about a man slowly losing his sanity over the course of an isolated winter. But on a deeper level it's really about how it would be fun as all hell to ride your big wheel around a giant empty hotel.

Can't retire from a vocation!

If you want to read a low-stakes high-entertainment series about a gentle twink possessed by a MILF demon (and you know you do) then I can't recommend the Penric series enough!

Today Lois McMaster Bujold released a new novella in her delightful Penric & Desdemona series. Nearly a decade ago she "semi-retired" and then continued to write so much that her subreddit can't quite agree how many books she's released since announcing she's no longer writing. (Probably 11.) 🫡

Just got a huge raise at work, I'm the guy at the Movieclips channel on YouTube who makes sure that the outro screen at the end of the video always cuts in about three seconds too early and completely destroys the impact of the clip.

Diane Keaton insisted that the lobster in the Annie Hall scene be released back into the ocean, and since lobsters can live for decades that lobster could still be out there in the Atlantic, probably downplaying its Woody Allen connection after years of bragging about it.

amusing how quickly i acclimate seeing first-day tourists making the mistakes i was making two days ago and chuckling knowingly

Fitzcarraldo (dir. Werner Herzog, 1982)

Vintage now is all Y2k clothes I can't wear them bc then I look like I never updated my wardrobe

I just found out my kid thought Star Trek IV was a period piece, like the episodes where they go back to the Depression or Mark Twain or whatever.

No way this is true. Holy—

Weird disclaimer for Damien Chazelle’s First Man

I’m not saying you’re old, I’m just saying that when you and your partner kiss in public young couples hug each other and whisper “That’s us one day.”

I am “just had an anxiety dream about teenagers throwing a party at my house and ignoring my attempts to evict them” years old.

Twenty million die-a by fire…if I’m-a weak…

are you saying paul rudd even looked the same in 1921?

The Shining began shooting in 1978, and at the end of the film (spoiler) there's a photo from 1921. That's a 57 year gap. If The Shining were made today, the photo at the end would be dated 1969, the year Paul Rudd was born.

Hilma as fuck Klint

Corollary to this are people new to management that base their management style off of what they see in movies and tv shows.

This is an excellent thread, and a very timely one: I just worked what very well might be my last ever day of corporate work. I’m excited for my new career but I’ll miss corporate work. Despite what movies tell you, most people are kind & reasonable and your free time is yours. (1/X)
