Scott Adams once seriously argued that gravity doesn't exist. his argument was that all objects in the universe continuously expand all the time. when you jump up, your body and the Earth below you both grow outward until they return to each other. I'm not making this up, he really said all this.

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

for no specific reason I'm thinking about Annie (2014), which certainly isn't the worst movie, but is one of the most disappointing. it's embarrassed to be itself, reflexively saying "whoa, yikes, let's not veer into cringe territory" every time it gets too close to feeling like an Annie movie.

it's important that you arrange your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day viewing in strict worst to best order. organization is critical.

I watched The Housemaid tonight, and I need to know what Paul Feig thinks Barry Lyndon is about. I know he's gonna have a wrong opinion, but I want to know what his wrong opinion is

It's your birthday, Duane.

everywhere I go women are constantly complimenting me on my hair and asking what I do with it, and I need to workshop a better answer than "I googled 'best costco shampoo and conditioner' and my last haircut was in 2017"

I rewatched When Harry Met Sally tonight, and one of the things that's so striking about it is that both of the characters have interesting, romcom-y jobs (journalist, political consultant), and we never see them at work, and the movie is so much better for it.

it's too late, i have already depicted myself as ernest, walking away with snow white, and you as dumbfounded robin williams

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

you know that one person who complained that they don't talk about 9/11 in Turning Red? I've decided to become the person who complains that none of the characters in Ella McCay (which takes place in 2008) weigh in on the Asus Eee PC.

I have something controversial to say: they should make these with space for seven cups arranged in a circle, with one in the center. it wouldn't be that much harder to carry and would frequently allow a group order to fit in just one container instead of requiring one in both hands.

Scorsese interview: Man isn't meant to have immortality. He did that to himself, that's what the church taught me. But maybe if you promise you're only gonna use your eternal life to make art it should be okay. I don't know. Tarantino interview: Keanu Reeves should have been stillborn.

Got a new display cabinet for these bad boys. Would love to see how other people display their cats.
