Snagged a Jim Thorpe biography at the bookstore today and am planning on reading it while grilling, completing my transition into dadhood more than having a child and one on the way ever could.

Watching Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2017) and my wife just looked up at the screen and added her insight: “Wow, Godzilla’s big.”

Got to introduce my Japanese coworker to the concept of pinball tonight at my “I got laid off party”

Ugh, return to office finally got to me after six glorious years and now I gotta buy pants

Maybe the funniest first line of an advertisement I’ve ever heard

Oh a dude came in a half hour after the movie started (so a full hour after the listed start time) and immediately started a phone conversation with what seemed to be an automated system

Like 70% of the main guy in Obsession’s role is just him doing Charles Grodin’s “look at me like a human boy” bit from Clifford

Inviting my team out for farewell pinball, drinks and tacos and trying to resist the urge calling it a Pinball Pity Party commemorating me getting plunged down the drain

Found out my job was eliminated but then a minute later that they reserved a job for me in a different department but it’s a hybrid role after 6 straight years of being remote only, so I really was riding the rollercoaster of emotions this morning

Like 40% of Galaxy Quest’s superlative quality is based on David Newman’s absolutely perfect score

Solo parenting while my wife’s away for the weekend. Had a huge day and am exhausted, BUT my Speed Racer 4k just came, so all is well

Getting my fifth of six wisdom teeth out next month

Genuinely think the Octoboss attacks the veggie tanker sequence in Furiosa is a better action scene than anything in Fury Road

An extremely funny Mary Worth that's suggesting we're about to get a Tommy haircut storyline

Genuinely don't know what it is, I feel more hatred towards this terrible WP Make It Make Sense podcast that nobody's watching than almost anything else

Kittridge framing Ethan Hunt's farmer mom as a drug kingpin is one of the funniest things anyone does in the Mission: Impossible franchise.

At least lets use this as a chance to introduce the one age of Yoda we've never seen...young adult Yoda

Watching a WC Fields movie and just yelled “hey, Shemp!” at the appearance of Shemp in case you thought I wasn’t 100 years old

Was really not expecting the main character of a movie with this title to be this

Maryland Renn Faire just banned fursuits and it's causing ~drama~

Also got a baby kicked out of Mortal Kombat II in the first 10 minutes in one of my prouder moments

Also got a baby kicked out of Mortal Kombat II in the first 10 minutes in one of my prouder moments

It always makes me think of Bart's line in The Raven Treehouse of Terror. "You know what's scarier than nothing?" "What?" "ANYTHING!"

My wife loved Mortal Kombat II as the first piece of Mortal Kombat media she's ever engaged with

RIP film critic Lou Reed

Genuinely appreciate that Furiosa has as much in common with the visual style of Three Thousand Years of Longing as it does Fury Road

Finally finished Born Again Season 2 and FINALLY this show leans into the Dare of Daredevil!

Are Vincent D’Onofrio and James Gunn the only two MCU creatives to get their start in Troma movies?

Gonna relaunch the Summerween Party Palace site in two weeks for all your Summerween party needs

Sure we can laff at Ed Wood, but Sinister Urge is a great turn of phrase

Truly wild to think that Cameron Diaz' follow-up to The Mask was almost Mortal Kombat, but she broke her wrist during fight training

Absolutely love that the World of Krypton miniseries kicks off with Clark being tasked with writing the next Roots/Shogun about Superman

My wife showed me this earlier saying this is what I’m going to look like as I age

You may have noticed I'm watching Star Trek for the first real time and am absolutely dying at halfway through the mirror universe episode where they're like "Wait if we're here, is there evil Kirk in our universe?" and it immediately cuts to evil Kirk getting his shit rocked by good Spock.

Wild that these two moves just went ahead and used the same poster

You know what's truly wild...it's not until 1996's Daredevil #353, 32 years after his creation, that we have our first issue where Matt Murdock is a Blind Lawyer Who Lives in Hell's Kitchen.

Daredevil Born Again has the first example of reverse Surf Dracula I’ve ever seen where you have to wait for the penultimate episode to see him practice law

There’s like an entire season of 911 Lone Star where the cops think Rob Lowe is a serial fire fighter/arsonist but he thinks that the dad from Twilight who is also a cancer survivor firefighter is it, but then it turns out to be a third police arson investigator instead

Women out at night in the films of Val Lewton - BOTD in 1904 Cat People (1942) The Leopard Man (1943) I Walked with a Zombie (1943) The Seventh Victim (1943)

Love that Tim Burton had such a horrible time making Batman that they had to promise him complete creative freedom on Batman Returns and he had such a good time then that he walked into the WB offices bursting with ideas for Batman 3 but they were like “uhhh about that”

I largely judge a Daredevil run on whether or not they can find room for these guys

Gotta say, using a black and white photo is a funny bit

“Where were you last night?” “Uhhhh”

Star Trek writers room "How should we kick off season 2?" "What if Spock gets so horny that it's going to kill him?"

Used the phrase "tractor beam" last night and my wife had never heard it, and I had to confront what a goofy cornerstone of sci-fi it is

Boy, a lot of the funny stories of childhood really take on a much grimmer tenor once you're the age your parents were

Do appreciate that The Odyssey looks like Nolan is trying to capture how watching a Harryhausen movie felt to a kid

Jacob deNobel's Star Wars Canon is as follows: PRIMARY CANON Star Wars The Star Wars Holiday Special SUPPLEMENTARY CANON The Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi The Last Jedi Those Marvel Comics They Made While the Movies Were Still Coming Out NOT CANON Everything not listed above

Dreamt I got mad at a guy, so I picked up one of his VHS tapes and took a big bite out of it like a sandwich

God, an absolutely lovely read that makes me respect Conway even more than I already did
