I don’t know the names of the people who use the reserve next door, but I do know the names of all their dogs: “Billy! Billy, no! Come back, Billy, don’t, BILLY!!”

It’s not an off-leash area.

If Hitler’s alive, I hope he’s trying to tag an author on Facebook.

"Whatever it takes - yeah!
When the fluffy stuff is fallin'
Cops'll be bawlin'
All over the place,

Buncha snowflakes - yeah!
No-one's as needy
As the NYPD
Coppin' balls to the face."

Missing dialogue from The Night Manager, S2:

“This house, you say it’s been abandoned since your father was killed when you were a child?”
“Yes, but as you can see, he had great taste in shirts.”
“It’s still ironed! And just my size.”
“My father, they say, kept it tight. Like a Tom Hiddleston.”

Bridgerton S4 teaches an important writing lesson: Lady Whistledown’s prose has gone to shit since she started getting the good lovin’.

I congratulated myself briefly on rhyming "goddesses" with "bodices", before learning that Cole Porter beat me to it back in 1950. I should have assumed as much.

Big night planned: gonna get on YouTube at 12:01am and type “Who’s listening in 2026?” under every single music video.

Very true. And Georgie's six - older kids know better.

You're right: scary clowns were already a thing. Aged 15, I read the novel when it came out, and while Pennywise looked pretty harmless to little Georgie in 1957, I knew better. I'd seen 'Poltergeist', for instance.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

It Is my duty to report that “A Very Jonas Christmas Movie” is quite delightful.

Sometimes, to demonstrate the melodic content of rapping, I like to bust out a famous chorus with the pitches inverted:

It’s like a jungle sometimes?
It makes me wonder
How I keep from goin’ under?

We have reached a cultural saturation point where all the Christmas muzak sounds like Tituss Burgess doing a bit.

It's funny that these are a) abbreviations and b) some of the largest letters you'll ever meet

I was thinking if opening-night flops that went on to be huge, like La Traviata and Madam Butterfly, but also Carmen, which - like Chess - has had its libretto revised many times, and still has no definitive version.

We fans of musicals should pay more attention to the history of several operas.

The Doofenschmirtz two nickels meme, thus: “If I had a nickel for every time Guillermo del Toro made a movie with a beautifully jacked creature with healing powers who fell in love with a pretty English actress and also the creature couldn’t drown I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.”

White bread, rice and a puddle of cream, because that’s what the big new musicals are.

I never understood what killed her character in Independence Day. Expedience?

Are you revisiting her in Donnie Darko?

Yes! Likewise the “man some”/“handsome” in “Someone to Watch Over Me”.
