things that have probably been discussed a million times: how come everyone in movies and tv have Zippo lighters? Why doesn't anyone have regular Bic lighters? In real life the % of people with Zippo style lighters is an extremely small portion of the lighter carrying population?

i want to wake up my wife and tell her about the reason Chad Michael Murray is running The Farm on Riverdale. i love this bonkers terrible show

Infinite diversity in infinite creations

I never thought I would see the day when I found some respect for the literal dumbest Canadians who managed to drive across the 2nd largest country in the world in the middle of winter, shut down our capital for a month and stop over 3 billion $ of goods from crossing the border (this is a subskeet)

remember that time doug ford "made" a "cheesecake"

I ended my year with exactly 400 movies watched. #LastFourWatched on #LetterBoxdFriday. The Muppets (2011) - it turns out I'm Kermit when I thought I was Statler/Waldorf Camp Wedding - whisper of an idea You Might Be the Killer - meh Once Upon a Time at Christmas - guh

People sleep on how hard Degrassi: The Next Generation goes right from the jump “Ok, so we introduce some old favourites like Spike and Joey. A little Zit Remedy nostalgia and then boom - a guy with Pizza Pizza videotapes his attempted rape of a 12 year old. Instant hit.”

Down 60 points in the Championship after week 1, I come back and win the league by 0.76 points. Fantasy football is the best and worst

I read the word “platapusary” (a place for care or exhibition of platypuses) and now have a very different version of “Family Affair” going through my head

Happy Boxing Day & #LetterboxdFriday My #LastFourWatched includes the only rewatches of the year Anna & the Apocalypse: my #1 fave holiday movie Violent Night: #2 fave holiday movie. touching yet bloody Warm Bodies: charming & heartwarming Run: decent all because of Kiera Allen Go watch AatA!

The fifth verse of “O Come All Ye Faithful” has the lyrics “word of the Father” but I still sing it in my head the way I did as a teenager as an ode to our lord and saviour Vanilla Ice, “word to your mother”

Holiday dinner pro tip: No one actually likes squash. Save yourself the time and effort. They’d be happier with another scoop of mashed potatoes. If people loved squash they’d be eating squash like motherfuckers year round but they don’t.

I’m in a spectacularly bad mood so this is hitting at the worst time but I have no clearer way to say it: fuck this company. Your choices are literally “occasionally do too much flippy shit” or “actively in bed with fascism”. I’m sorry if years of Fed propaganda have rotted your brains but cmon.

Just saw video of Unrivalled practice of Paige and Malonga running pick and roll finishing with a lob dunk to Malonga and that is going to be so fun. The Breeze are so young but so deep

I have just 8 movies to watch to hit 400 for the year, so I think I need to pick something ahead of time for number 400. Do I go with an old favourite? An all time classic? Something terrible? You can see what I've already logged here (just started keeping track this yr): letterboxd.com/beec4240/

This is clearly focused on the influencer-class, not the average user since the avg user doesn't use professional/creator accounts Companies have already had organic reach killed by Meta and have to spend on ads to get seen. FB just wants to get a piece of that sweet influencer paid-post money.

A WORD (two words) FOR MY HATERS. Watch #NightThoughts on Hulu.

My #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Blood Fest: surprisingly cute & fun. "Fuck you and your dead mom" is the best way to rally the troops. I Spit On Your Grave: worst kind of exploitation Wake Up Dead Man: best Knives Out movie Dead Presidents: Very good. Less heisty than expected.

Alice has now seen “Wake Up Dead Man” which means now I can talk about “Wake Up Dead Man” as approximately one million of you have asked me to do. intermittent live-blog in the quoted thread. gay Catholic musings below:

a personal one today, writing about my long, long weight loss journey: sundownmotel.ghost.io/r/82802e55?m...

I propose a $50 fine and kick in the nuts for any douchebro who says something like “you can’t get 30% of zero. The league loses money” about the WNBA collective bargaining agreement negotiations #WNBA

Anna and the Apocalypse

My #LetterboxdFriday is full of not great in my #LastFourWatched Wrong Turn: boring, scowly, formula Rapturepalooza: the AntiChrist loves eggnog, natch You Can't Kill Stephen King: a flicker of an idea Charlie's Angels (2019): superior to the 2000 film

When you watch WWE you’re supporting child sex abuse, sex trafficking and a giant Trump fundraiser There are tons of different wrestling options out there and it’s easier than ever to watch them

Dream Job: Hollywood Seat Belt Co-Ordinator I'll be the person on set responsible for pointing out that no one is wearing a seatbelt during the driving scene and that they need to redo/restart the scene with seatbelts on.

I think I spotted an error in Hot Shots Part Deux When Charlie Sheen shoots the chicken like an arrow, it becomes embedded in the enemy’s chest. You can then hear a cockadoodledoo Then seconds later, it lays an egg. Whomever let this egregious biological mistake stand deserves to be fired

"Newfoundland margarine bootleggers" is the CBC series action/comedy series we need

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

if the certificate wasn't made in Paint Shop Pro, it doesn't count

sometimes i type my name so fast it comes out "Aaorn" and i trick myself into thinking i'm some sort of Lord of the Rings character

One year ago today, we officially became the Toronto Tempo. 🩵🥳 Here’s to many more years of growing alongside the best fans in basketball! 🏀

It's #LetterboxdFriday & my #LastFourWatched were fine? 1. Sew Torn - watch this. It's lovely 2. The Final Rose - Tubi original meh-ness w/ one hilarious line abour crypto philanthropy 3. Founders Day - paint by number predictable 4. She Rides Shotgun - I may not know what good movies are? It's ok

"I don't like when people like things that I think are stupid because I am a very smart boy."

"ABA therapy does not teach children to be typical. It teaches children to act 'normal,' all the while inhibiting them from finding their own normal." From @cosmichael.bsky.social, at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2018/05/why-... #autism #autistic #BetterWaysThanABA

The fact that Americans will no longer trample each other to death for a discount toaster oven says a lot about the decline in their work ethic

Counterpoint: humans universally treating Muppets as living, breathing, sentient beings is literally the only good thing in the world

one billion per cent accurate

My dream @tempobasketball.bsky.social 2027 Draft scenario: Win the lottery and take Sarah Strong at 1 Find a way to take Syla Swords with our next pick The top 2 picks of that draft are going to be Strong and JuJu Watkins and you can’t go wrong either way.

It's time for my #LastFourWatched on #LetterboxdFriday Hell Comes to Frogtown: I know that I couldn't survive the Dance of the Three Snakes Weapons: When the kids started running, I started giggling Glamping: meh Over the Top: I hate the kid but Sly does some solid acting

What's your oldest outstanding redemption? Mine's a 2021 Panini Absolute Nate Pearson Rookie Wood Signature #CardSky #Panini

There is an almost 100% chance that you've had sex while "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star played.

This might be small compared to the incredible tributes I've read to Alice Wong's activism, writing, and being an all around great human, but I'll also remember Alice as someone who celebrated the little things that made disabled people a little happier in this world.

If I learned anything from Ken Dryden's book "The Game", it's that keeping a giant bowl of Pseudoephedrine pills handy is the best way to be prepared for the day.

Thing I learned today: Silken Laumann's (happy birthday btw) husband David Patchell-Evans, the founder & CEO of Canadian fitness giant GoodLife Fitness, is a major funder of bullshit anti-autism research (the ridiculous "gut microbiome is the cause of autism" stuff)

That's right - sold the patent for insulin for $1. Banting was a great man.

Sir Frederick Banting wasn't just the co-discover of insulin. He was the youngest recipient of the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine, an accomplished artist, and a decorated war hero. This is the story of one of the greatest Canadians. 🧵 1/12
