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.

Space Jesus, not regular earthbound Jesus.

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.”

It’s like deferred maintenance on dams and bridges. They don’t all fail at once, but the more time goes on, the more things fail. Reddit won’t fail all at once, it will slowly spring leaks and fail.

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…?
