Oxford commas forever. Commas save lives, people!

MoviePass and Sinemia got me into like 50 movies. I think my favorite part of that glorious year (less, but let’s round) was when one of the services just stopped working one day and I had prepaid for a year’s service. I reached out to my credit card company and said I got shorted X months of the service. They refunded me the full amount of the prepaid year, so I essentially got months of newly released movies (I’d typically go on Friday afternoons to have fewer people in the theater and the line for concessions) for free.

I should add, the RunPee app saved me so many times I can’t even tell you. Seriously, my favorite app even tangentially related to movies. Get the Infinity Coin if that’s still offered, it’s a great deal for a lifetime of not missing the good parts, especially if you see Christopher Nolan movies regularly.

Lemmy is methodone or saboxin compared to the tainted heroin that is Reddit.

Basically they’ve bought into the idea that the West, neoliberal capitalists to the core, is the root of all evils, so the leaders opposing the West must be good. Unfortunately, the enemy of my enemy isn’t my friend when it comes to geopolitics.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

“Hard to get pregnant the way we do it. Pull-out isn’t reliable enough so we go for the poophole loophole.”

“Are you two trying for a baby yet?”

“Not that it’s your business, but I prefer facials to creampies.”

In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.

There used to be a stylized “Mid Atlantic” accent that many actors developed and the news at the time would use the same accent. With more modern movies, there was a move to actors with regional accents of their own, as well as a change in the way acting stopped emphasizing “projecting” their voices so the people in the back of the theater could hear them. Since movie audio is all recorded and mixed digitally, any lines that didn’t record well just get ADRed.

Can you give an example? Done you mean the dialogue, soundtrack, foley…?

Ugh, the gerentocracy continues. Can they both just go on a submersible ride?

Biden was responsible for the law making student debt much harder to discharge under bankruptcy proceedings. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/biden-defends-vote-on-2005-law-that-made-it-harder-to-escape-student-debt-143102760.html Senator Orrin Hatch introduced the bill and thanked Biden for years of tireless support for helping write and advance the legislation.

If Trump doesn’t run in 2024, I think Biden might be a one term president; he benefited greatly from a lot of votes against Trump and not for Biden/Harris and their political histories. And if the DNC is reading this, please, do yourselves a favor, don’t run Biden, Harris, or Newsom. They’re everything wrong with the Democratic Party and offer nothing new while embodying exactly what the GOP accuses the Dems of, pandering to urban elites and at best ignoring the working class. They’re neoliberal ghouls in skin suits.
