POV: you are a dog at a movie awards show in 1990 and David Lynch is about to boop you

Times are difficult but I feel we should take inspiration from this plucky spud

uhh just one more thing…

STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE was released on this date in 1999. Whatever you think about the film, the score by John Williams is masterful, so this thread is going to look at that. This is adapted from a feature I wrote for Film Stories. Now, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

This is an earlier, unfinished version of a painting from last year called "Lonely Kingdom", and the final painting.

Pilot kept saying “San Francisco, home of the Giants” and then at the end said “any fans of the Giants? Welcome onboard, I’m your pilot, a fan of the LA Dodgers.” Quality bit.

When I was at Cal, Thiel was speaking at an event when protesters burst in through the doors. I think a lot of our current situation can be traced back to that moment. The rich and powerful are not going to take it well.

VOLITION - Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You'll get it in the next life, where you don't make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you're alive.

The real message of Frogger is the dangers of commuting in a city that doesn't have reliable public transit.

Rewatching 30 Rock and I think this is still possibly one of the best constructed jokes in anything, ever.

The first trailer for LAIKA's new film ‘WILDWOOD’ has been released. The film follows a girl who enters a magical forbidden forest to rescue her kidnapped baby brother. In theaters on October 23.

Wan-Do, a bargain-hunting detective hound who came from nowhere, is the mascot of Can Do, a chain of ¥100 stores.

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

AE Stallings on Argos:

In our screening of Hokum at Kabuki, someone walked out and as they were leaving they went across the projector. Their head was projected on to the screen, everyone screamed and then laughed. AMC Nicole Kidman would have been proud. Movie will be on my best of 2026 list. McCarthy has the juice.

My first exposure to Star Wars was an RotJ tie-in zine from Pepsi that came out before I was born. A cousin of mine who worked at Pepsi in India gave it to me because I loved reading.

Indeed. One of the best (and earlier) examples of this technique is the CRISTO VELATO in Napoli, completed in 1753 by sculptor Giuseppe Sanmartino, who carved this out of one single block of marble. When I saw it in person the first time totally blew my mind. I mean, look at this: it’s all marble!

"openai.com" was once the personal homepage of a guy named glenn (2001), and "tiktok.com" was the quaint shared homepage of a couple as their relationship progressed from dating to married with a baby (2000). THREAD!!!

Watched "Everyone Is Lying to You for Money” today at the Roxie. Very entertaining. If you are a hater, you will learn nothing new about crypto but you might learn that Ben McKenzie is Ryan from The OC. He’s like David Graeber but more self-effacing, more charming, more married to Morena Baccarin.

In 1979, Mattel sold toy Battlestar Galactica fighter ships that fired a tiny spring-loaded "torpedo." One 4-year old choked on it, and the entire line of torpedo toys was recalled and never sold again.

After 35, you start forgetting many things. This is not memory loss. It’s your brain making room for you to remember the names of all the muscles that now hurt.

Liz Lemon, you should come to the Knicks game with me and this skinny French dude Tommy Chameleon.

I've learned that when an idea pops in my head, it's sometimes more efficient to just draw it than to let it keep needling at me.

The creator of the entirely derivative Invincible universe is saying this? This is like one of those “I quit Meta after years of making bank and now I have a conscience” opeds.
