How I sleep knowing that my life is infinitely better than terminally online weirdos who hate me for my objectively correct opinions.

Vernon: You know, Ms. Granger, I'll never be able to understand it. Hermione: What's that Mr. Dursley? Vernon: Well, you're from a nice ordinary family, dentists or some such, spent your childhood in normal environs. Why would you choose to be so odd? With all of the witchery, I mean? Have you ever tried not being a witch? Hermione: I doesn't work that way, Mr. Dursley. I was born this way. Vernon: That sounds like a dreadfully lazy excuse, young lady. There's lots of freaks and weirdos that claim that they were "born that way" or "that's just the way I am" no, they just don't want to conform to society, I say. Hermione: Mr. Dursley, I don't thin- Vernon: And how do you very well know that perhaps you weren't "hexed" as a child and that's why you're like this now? Or maybe it's just a phase you'll grow out of?

Harry: Sirius, I'm glad to see you aga- Sirius: I wasn't anyone's bitch. Harry: W-what? Sirius: In Azkaban, Harry. I wasn't anyone's bitch. Harry: I-uh-I...umm wasn't going to ask you that Sirius: HARRY! LOOK AT ME! IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT YOU KNOW YOUR GODFATHER WASN'T ANOTHER MAN'S BITCH!

I think my hottest "what else would you change?" take in the Malfoid version of Harry Potter would be having Sirius live. His death is really not in service of much when you get down to it. Having him alive as Harry's father figure the whole way through is better I think and it would add something interesting to the Malfoid x Harry dynamic since Sirius and Malfoid are related.

It's true. You can Malfoid anything.

Just got done watching Digger. This move had really strong design elements between the cinematography, the sets, the costuming, etc, and Tom Cruise gives a very strong performance with some moments of enjoyable comedy, but the story is convoluted, the "twist" was very underwhelming, and the story was the must overused nauseating combo of climate change panicanism and worn out political satire tropes. If this came out in 2016 or 2020 media pundits would've gushed over it, but now it just makes one want to sigh and roll your eyes at another annoying liberal climate lecture. Colossal misfire the whole way around. 2/5

What's the big deal? We're just having fun. Let people enjoy things.

You can tell the Halloween season has officially started when the Gargoyle rises over Fort Worth.

This is just going to keep going until Harry is relegated to a harem anime where he's the only guy at Hogwarts isn't it?

Who up getting "loans" rn?

Went to go see the new Resident Evil movie. I thought it was pretty alright as a zombie comedy. As a Resident Evil movie it leaves something to be desired. The comedy definitely gets in the way in certain scenes, but Zach Cregger was thinking outside of the box on certain things. There were two scenes specifically where I found myself saying "I can genuinely say, I've never seen this in a zombie movie before." As someone who has been a lifelong RE fan, I saw a bunch hate on this movie as a bad adaptation, and it's definitely missing some pieces, but still is the best Resident Evil movie we've gotten heretofore. I would like to add some context that you might be wondering "why can't they just do a straight adaptation?" The answer to that question is because of the contract that Constantin Films signed with Capcom for the exclusive film rights to the series had a clause as per Capcom that they were not allowed to directly adapt the games because Capcom was worried that if people watched the movie, they wouldn't play the game. That made sense in 2002, not so much in 2026, but it is what it is. I don't know if it's something that I would buy to add to my movie shelf, but I could see this being a fun Halloween picture in the future. Solid 3/5.

You're meeting me at a very Cajun time in my life.

Okay, I just got done with Primetime, and I will say, I liked it. The film definitely plays to people who watched To Catch A Predator because there are references to the actual episodes, however the film does lose the line between style and substance around the last 30 minutes. The film can't really tell what it wants to say about Chris. Sometimes he wants to catch predators because he views it as morally right, but also at other times he breaks down and chases bigger payoffs for ratings every time until it starts to be detrimental. The film doesn't portray the pedophiles as sympathetic AT ALL. It has Chris read the chats, it shows them be excited to meet the "kid", and then they get all weepy and beg for mercy like they did in the actual show. Not perfect, they definitely play the ending with the pedophile DA that killed himself as very overly dramatic, and that definitely detracts, but I liked it. I give it a solid 3.5/5, could've been better if they picked style OR substance instead of trying to do a weird hyper-reality thing with it, but Robert Pattinson definitely saves the film from a lower rating.

I'll make burritos every now and then. I typically make California Style burritos which is carne asada, cheese, french fries, and guacamole.
