And half the country. 😩

So, so many people refuse to believe they’re even capable of being wrong.

My best friend and I suggested online that maybe this friend of ours stop using “gay” as an insult (this was around 2009 or so) and he and his girlfriend became adamantly defensive and mean. When they implied that my best friend was molesting his beloved dog just to be assholes, I just cut the cord and walked away. They were idiots anyway.

Fun fact: the girlfriend was, and is, a huge “do good” volunteer advocacy leader. So, you know, help each other out, but don’t get in the way of my homophobic slurs.

Criminally overlooked and underrated.

First thing that popped into my mind: Galavant. It’s a prime time network fantasy comedy from a writer of Cars and Tangled, teamed up with the composer from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.

It’s like if The Princess Bride was two seasons of musical television with songs from the golden 90’s era of Disney. In a just world, it’d have six seasons and a movie.

I love this energy.

Number three…

The larch.

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. If you could distill pure insufferable smugness into a liquid, this was him squirting it into your mouth while you’re not paying attention and laughing at you while you sputter and gag.

I prefer my space vampires Mathilda May-shaped.

Born under a bad sign? This guy is the only officially recognized person to have survived two nuclear bomb detonations.

Someone asked a similar question from a retro portable gaming standpoint, if it’s useful.

I noticed the announcement trailer doesn’t even show any footage of the original, which makes it the only remaster trailer I think I’ve ever seen that doesn’t do a split screen or other comparison at some point.

And the first thing they mention is new Spatial Audio and haptic triggers. It’s like selling a new car and bragging about the cup holders first.

I feel like this is a good litmus test. If you have to double the price of the original, your remake/remaster is coming too early.

…surely you have kissably fresh breath…

Ugh. You’re annoyingly right.

28 Weeks Later.

After the opening sequence sets it up and the story proper begins, it only progresses due to repeated, profound stupidity.

“Let’s just run around outside of quarantine during a zombie apocalypse!”

“My wife has been out in Zombieworld for ages and has turned up seemingly unaffected and is being kept under strict quarantine protocols - I should make out with her!”

Oops. Spanish Prisoner. My brain just stopped or I read that.

I’m upvoting you on pure enthusiasm.

Oh damn I haven’t watched Spanish Prisoner since college. It was one of my “you’ve never heard of this but it’s awesome” recommendations for ages!

Edit: added the actual movie I’m talking about

This should just be a 1D spectrum line.
