I think what I hate so much about brand crossovers is that it feels like I'm paying for a commercial. It's the next step in calling art "content".

“Due to high prices, the art of Anime may not be available to all” sounds like hyperbole today, but in 1998 a single VHS with two episodes of Ranma 1/2 could run you $30. This is my “back in my day we had to walk uphill in the snow both ways.”

My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

These are all characters from Harley Quinn (animated) and you cannot convince me otherwise

I feel like I missed my chance to work at a cool video store. I could have in college (Video Spectrum), or even just after (North Campus Video), if I’d tried. But I also think it’s something I would appreciate more in my 40s than my 20s (in a romanticized daydream ideal way).

I figured out why the Sabrina Carpenter discourse bugs me so much (aside from the fact that it’s a tame cover and fully in line with her whole schtick). It feels like a big jump in the return to “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”-style bullshit that I really wanted to believe we were past.

All of tech now feels like an informercial ad where every task is impossibly hard and you need to buy this thing to make it easier so you don't spill your cheese puffs every time you sit down

It actually is somewhat amazing how well Tim & Eric predicted the way powerful men would use GenAI, well over a decade before it became a usable product

I’m not sure Disney+ merging with Hulu was the best idea.

I want to live inside this song. I want to play it for a stylist and have them help be figure out how to look like this song. Paprika is now my favorite Satoshi Kon movie, but I heard this first, and fell in love instantly.

Maybe you also need something calming this evening.

Maybe I don’t feel as much need to catch up before the new one. I don’t think I’ve ever seen 28 Weeks Later, so I might watch it out of curiosity at least. I hope it’s filmed on a Game Boy Camera. (I enjoyed the low-res gimmick, but then of course I would.)

Yesterday was the 35th anniversary of Gremlins 2: The New Batch coming out. Where was the parade for that?

Flow Criterion!! Very excited about the extras! There's a lot of cool, never before shown stuff here. And Away! It’s crazy to think that all of the feature films I’ve made so far are in the Criterion Collection! Now I only need to make the next one that could live up to that...

I’m watching 28 Days Later, and I worry the past five years might have broken my ability to enjoy this. It’s not the movie’s fault I had the thought “Nate Silver would love this.” (I don’t remember the last time I saw it. Sometime after 2005, becuase I recognized Eccleston as The Doctor.)

I am incredibly skeptical about this (and the trailer has not made me less skeptical). That said, Liam Neeson is probably the correct casting choice, so we'll see. It could still easily be better than the Naked Gun sequels.

I started reading HHGTTG and Kurt Vonnegut directly off my dad's bookshelf, but the memory that stands out is the night he introduced me to Monty Python. I literally fell off the couch laughing the first time I saw "How Not to be Seen" (I was probably around 12 or 13 at the time)

At this point I’m just leaving guilt trips on each call. Though I’m sure my messages are deleted as soon as I mention I’m from Columbus.
