seems to be a lot of rare Italian disco that hasn't made its way to Spotify just yet

I had a really nice time last night, I think we had great chemistry! sorry I cast myself prostrate like a wretched hound at your feet, confessed my numerous self-perceived faults, and wept like a mewling babe. Want to get drinks on Thursday

Aaron Sorkin should make a little indie movie about Jeff Daniels' new restaurant destroying the building next door

one of handful of compliments (backhanded?) that have stuck with me all these years came when I brought home a Brown grad student after a date. she sneaks a peak at my bookshelf and comments, "a lot less Jonathan Franzen than I expected".
never owned or read anything by him
Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom
Published in 2010, this novel is like 2008 Obama Liberalism frozen in amber

this is funny but I remember an article Mark Cousins did for sight and sound in like 2015 where he more or less said the same thing for a bunch of movies and directors. stopped reading him after that but I guess he got the last laugh
Episcopal priestess says Mary assigned Jesus male at birth, but he was trans. And when he was resurrected, he came back as His true, transgender self.
Community note
Mary did not assign a gender to Jesus. Mary was told before his birth that Jesus would be a male.
Luke 1:30-31 – "But the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.'"

you just knew it was over when people starting pathologizing moviegoing in the early aughts
Projecting on a theater screen is a cheat code to movies.
1. You trapped the audience in a room where they must focus
2. Interactive reactions with audience
3. Audience paid money so inclined to enjoy to get their value
4. Giant screen and surround sound immersifies
And...
5. Giant screen bypasses the ocular nerve. Eyes dart around and brain synthesizes its own interpretation of reality. Psychological cinematic effect.

everyone knows a guy who scoffs at therapy, points to their record collection and says, "that's my therapy".

idk I think there's an unsung rule not to mess with dudes who are with a girl. I've always felt this, even around guys I hate or hardly know. for all you know that could be his one chance at getting laid. might be the happiest 4hrs of his life
Whenever I see a young white guy with a non-white girlfriend I always make eye contact and try to give him the, "what the hell are you doing man" look.

"She-Hulk" star Tatiana Maslany disses Tom Selleck (while mocking "Magnum, PI") & Michael Jordan for saying they avoid politics to keep their audience/customers happy:
"Everything is political. All entertainment is political... It's such a bizarre mentality. It's so cowardly."

Any accusations of nostalgia are essentially intended as a slap on the wrist for contradicting general conesus about the past or present. Also tends to be associated with self hatred. Highly suspicious of any use of the word
Genuinely some of the most completely inane stuff he's ever said, right down to approvingly referencing a Private Eye cover- embarrassing
