I can’t know how to hear any more about tables.

Do they pay more in rent than your mortgage payment? Because that would mean that they absolutely could afford it.

Elmore Leonard. Dude was a massive influence on popular culture. He was instrumental in teaching Tarantino how to be Tarantino. He wrote the books that SO MANY great movies and television shows were based on.

Hunter Thompson. His gonzo style is often imitated but rarely duplicated. And it’s such a goddamn simple concept, but no one else managed to do it with his flair.

Disney released an animated movie a couple years ago called Strange World. It was a wildly mediocre movie with a plot that had a very obvious pro-environment, message that was subtle as a brick.

But what really ruffled the conservative feathers was son character who had a gay crush. For as preachy ad the rest of the movie was, the gay crush subplot was amazingly well done. They treated it like any other hetero love interest subplot. It wasn’t preachy or hamfisted or campy… it was just a family being happy for the kid.

Also the very heavy and intentional use of pronouns.

Deep Thoughts… by Jack Handy.

As the defacto Excel guy in my office… I’m sorry. Also, I’m kind of proud of what I managed to accomplish.

That reminds me of The Venture Bros. There’s a villain called White Noise who is basically anthropomorphic television static in a humanoid shape.

He was a white supremacist television repair man before his “accident”.

The writing on that show was so goddamn sharp.

That’s what I did when I didn’t have physical access to the network where I was living. My little Asus that I flashed with Tomato saved my sanity.

Yeah. I’ve had a couple of their little travel routers which are a lot of fun. But apparently you can’t flash custom builds on one of their more recent models.

What were your must have packages?

Same as my Toyota. It’s a crazy indicator of how we expect things to be, but it’s absolutely not a deal breaker.

It’s like learning how to interact with Lemmy, and then deciding which app you want to use to interact with it.

That’s your takeaway? There’s nothing else about that image that strikes you as odd or dumb or depressing?

Just one word: plastics.

… Organtic

Strong Severance vibes here.

Most guys in my department want a Waffle Party, but I’d be happy with a Music Dance Experience. I’d also like an egg bar, but who wouldn’t? After all, the egg bar is coveted as fuck.

I agree that moving to digital saved so much time, and I’ll never miss brainwraps or thrown platters… but working booth shifts threading projectors were some of the happiest times I had running theaters.

I’ve gotten bad keys from the studio before, usually when we were doing advanced screenings. It was a relatively quick fix… I think the longest delay was ~15 minutes. I never had to cancel a show because of it, certainly didn’t have to close the entire building.

For as much as I loved the convenience of digital, I really miss the days of 35 film.

Are’s?
