Filled in some shameful (the shame being mine) Duvall and James Bond blindspots and a flabbergasting Canadian import. (Seriously, how the hell did they make NIRVANNA?!)

funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsementβ€”almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itselfβ€”still has his job

If you watch Jaws backwards, it is a heartwarming story about a shark who
gives arms and legs to people who need them.

Wife leaves for the weekend and you try out some seafood recipes (which she abhors), catch up on laundry, and fill in some Kurosawa blindspots (as in, nearly all of the man's work). This is what real men do.

Question for the guy at the next gas pump with three Trump flags on his trailer, anti-Biden stickers, β€œSHUT THE FUCK UP” cutoff shirt, and white rap blasting lyrics about women’s sports and Black Lives Matter:

1) How complicated was the algorithm from which you sprung?

2) Aren’t you exhausted?

Love that Netflix went full Hitchcock this month.

And Harrison Ford has done way too few roles where he plays a romantic goof. He’s good at them.

Wife refers to the top of every month is my Christmas - as I excitedly window-shop all the streamers for β€œjust added” titles.

Thus, the end of every month is Finals Week, as I cram in the β€œleaving soon” titles. So goes my #LastFourWatched.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you
