I just watched Mad God and have it figured out: it is a sequel (or maybe a prequel) to Eraserhead. The Man in the Planet and the Mad God are one and the same. Both are stand-ins for the films’ respective directors.

CBS just cut into the UEFA Champions League semifinal to announce the election of the new Pope. Univision stuck with the game.

I love reading the old Far Side cartoons that show up every day on the MSN news aggregator thingy. They are still funny. Almost as funny, though, is how often the accompanying AI blurbs that try to explain each cartoon miss the point entirely.

Fun science fact: you could line up every other planet in the solar system and fit them between the earth and the moon. It would be a really bad idea to do that, but you could.

TBS always speeds up the American Dad theme song on rebroadcast, and it really pisses me off.

Seems to me, if you have to constantly lie about the things you’re doing maybe you shouldn’t be doing those things.

Tom Petty’s Don’t Come Around Here No More is just an astonishing song. People will be listening to it 500 years from now. You know, if anything besides Kid Rock songs are still legal by then, that is.

In the near future when we’re paying for all this I predict a lot of people will conveniently forget how they voted in 2024.

What the hell, Holland. Or should I say The Netherlands? And the people who live there are Dutch? Did Led Zeppelin name this country, or what?

I love annoying commercials because sometimes I forget I have fast forward on the DVR and annoying commercials help me remember.

Catch 22 means they can do anything to us that we can’t stop them from doing.

Watching Catch 22 on TCM. I think much of Mark McKinney’s (Kids in the Hall) comedy has been modeled on Anthony Perkins’ character in this movie.

Today I learned that the father of novelist Nevil Shute (On the Beach) was in charge of the Dublin General Post Office when James Connolly and the Irish Citizen Army occupied it for their last stand during the Easter Uprising in 1916.

They’re not doing mass executions yet but, trust me, they’re working up to it.

Finally watching The Irishman. The height of comedy has to be Robert De Niro and Al Pacino sitting around making fun of some guy on TV for having big ears.

Following on from my last post, it’s probably time we realized the apocalypse is not so much an event as a process, and we’re already up to our asses in it as we speak. Or type, as the case may be.

I really hope we are living in a computer game. That way I can imagine my real life is so perfect and exciting that I decided to spend some time relaxing in a simulated pre-apocalyptic dystopia where I’m an agoraphobic shut-in.

Re-watching Blade Runner. It seems like James Hong has always been 70 years old. Is that possible?

Sometimes I’ll remember an old song I haven’t heard in a long time and I’ll think ‘Was it really that good?” So then I listen to it and more often than not it’s even better than I remember. Other times I find out that, damn, I was kind of an idiot back in those days for ever thinking it was good.

Remember: the more famous you get, the more shit people will talk about you after you’re dead and for many more years than if you’d just died a nobody.

It occurs to me that Prudencio Aguilar wasn’t very prudent, insulting Jose Arcadio Buendia that way.

Watching “The Sting” again and not for the first time it strikes me that they do some really weird shit with their hands in this movie.

Here’s how I imagine the on-field meeting after the game: Josh Allen: “Fuck you, asshole.” Patrick Mahomes: “I hear ya, buddy.”
