I am fairly pleased with this table that I cobbled together for a guest lecture next week on the different narratives about the use of the atomic bomb in World War II, and creating an example of ways in which they can be compared to each other in an overarching way.

I no longer find the scene in “Interstellar” where McConaughey’s daughter’s teacher calmly asserts the falsity of the moon landing implausible.

Please God don't let Tubi ever start to suck. It is too damn good. Classics for my wife Cannon Films (Bronson mainly) and deep cut horror for me. Pyun's "Nemesis" for dessert? Yes, thank you! Win.

Around ‘86-87, during sleepovers at my friends house, his dad would fast-forward past the timid sex scenes in stuff like Friday the 13th but let us watch the rest of the movie. Same parents who pulled him out of our D&D games. Never understood the whole “Nipples=Satan” thing.

Well since my 4K disc still hasn’t shipped I guess I’ll just watch Conan In my garage on a laserdisc player connected to a 17” CRT PC monitor as God intended.
