Hollywood is obsessed with franchises and yet many masterpieces wallow without any sequels. Here's my list of movies ripe for this treatment: - Duel - Sorcerer - 12 Angry Men - The Shawshank Redemption - The Iron Giant - My Cousin Vinny - The Truman Show - Conclave - Memento - The Breakfast Club

I’m a single issue voter and my issue is that those busses that bend in the middle should make accordion noises

Watching Get Out in Oakland was incredible. People talked at the screen and it made it so much better.

Just placed a hold on Atlas Shrugged at the library. After I read it I guess I'll decide if that's ironic or appropriate.

I hope Creed 4 brings back Rocky's robot and establishes he has a son

As Thankvember comes to a close, we must all #StayThankful

Today is darker than the day before. Not just a fact of astronomy, but we stray further from the light of Thanksgiving I can only think of overwhelming Black this Friday. #StayThankful, as always.

two fire trucks just went by my house... my first thought of course is deep fryer explosion lol

Thanksgiving is here! We now approach the moment of Highest Thankfulness. I, for one, will #StayThankful

the license plate on my $1000 sports car says “MR THANKSGIVING” because i celebrate thanksgiving each and every year

Thankvember Tip: on today, Thanksgiving Eve, it is important to remain calm. We are mere hours away from the Big Day, so you may need to distract yourself. Some good options: - listening to some smooth jazz - pranking family members - drinking 30-50 glasses of water - doing the laundry

A big part of the fun of GBBO is finding out that terms for food in the UK are either ridiculous or just plain wrong

One of the problems with modern tech is that decades of film and TV convinced me that video calls had to be in a giant round room with 5ft tall TVs. They're not nearly as cool on my 14 inch laptop screen.

Thankvember Tip: Don't forget to start brining your turkey in time! The Inspectors will be spot checking and dry meat carries up to a $25,000 fine or 5 years in federal prison.

I always read "Roswell, New Mexico" in Judd Hirsch's voice

the most compelling argument against polyamory is then Jolene wouldn't have been written

the results for the game awards are in. the game of the year is fallout new vegas

I forget between every time I see a picture of Larry Ellison how much he looks like a Bond villain

Just got home from the intense Nuremberg film. Time to relax with more of The War, directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, bay-bee!!!!!!

Thankvember Tip: keep a bit of loose turkey in your pocket to hand out to children and/or first responders. It'll make their day–as long as you still have their favorite kind of meat! #StayThankful

Doing a really satisfying election right after the time change really puts the pep back in my step. We should do this every fall!

THE YEAR 1999 Eminem: hey Dido can I sample your song Dido: yeah sure Eminem: you want to be in the music video? Dido: why not Eminem: I'm going to play a crazy fan of mine and you'll be his pregnant girlfriend and at the end he kills you and himself Dido: ... Dido: okay

Quillion Dollar Idea: Bill & Ted legacy sequel where the "Be Excellent to Each Other" creed has been corrupted into a totalitarianism in the far future and they must fix it

I waited ~6 minutes for this bus and we're now directly behind the bus on the same line in front of us. Pretty abysmal.

"you should work nine hours a day six days a week making money for somebody else when you are young so you can (maybe) not have to work at all when you are 65" - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

Quillion Dollar Idea: booty shorts which change message when you shit yourself

when conservatives say they love their country, that doesn't include all the parts of America they hate; lefties and queer people and immigrants and indigenous peoples aren't "real America" when folks on the left say "I have complicated feelings about my country," we're referring to the whole thing

Me externalizing my costs: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!! Me when others externalize their costs onto me: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

they said it couldn't be done...

this reads as so fucking passive aggressive lmao

what idiot called it "castration" and not "cull de sack"

I want a shirt in this style but instead the text is "San Jose–San Francisco–Oakland, CA CSA". I'm not sure if it's funnier on one line or multiple

My manifesto? No, I only write screeds.

Every time I go to a Nerd Event, it's hilarious how the closer I approach the more I see these exact people

NOVEMBER 1975 GALES OF NOVEMBER ARE MASTERS OF SUPERIOR ONLY THE EDMUND FITZGERALD STANDS BEFORE THEM LAKES ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS

The benefit of library books (besides it being free) is I feel compelled to finish them before they're due. Idk if I would have finished Harrow the Ninth if I hadn't had to return it. I spent the first 2/3rds of the book being like "wtf is going on" but it did turn around and get good at the end

the way you know bsky has Made It is that we're posting about it instead of twitter

they're running 9 car Bart trains now lmao?

Darmok AND Jalad at Tanagra? In this economy??

Yeah sorry I'm not sure we can be friends anymore. You've done a lot of work on yourself and now you're just not very dramatic anymore. I need stuff to gossip about and you're not providing anymore.
