  1. The ring he made Gretchen out of a finger trap. Omg. My middle-school boyfriend would've gotten so, so lucky with that move.
  2. Been on a Bong Joon-Ho kick lately and this is now one of my favorites of his films. Funny, dark, and twisty. The actress who plays the mother is famous in Korean film for playing the archetypical mother, which is relevant for reasons you'll see.

    Novocaine

    Jack Quaid's face is a really perfect blend of both his parents. Meg Ryan from the nose up, with Dennis Quaid's smile. And speaking of nepo babies, it took me a sec to figure this one out, but once I got there I was mad it took me so long.
  4. You know what she's thinking.
  5. Right; I was just responding to the guy who said she was a caricature of Austin like the family was a caricature of Duke and UNC grads.
  6. It was really cute when she got him to cave and go on the boat because she brought out the fake tears.
  7. I'm glad they're finally pulling things back together. I had to double check that there are 10 episodes this season, because the last words Mark said tonight were "she's alive", which were the last words he spoke in the S1 finale. They gave us a big clue as to where they are physically located - they said Ms. Huang was being sent to a school in Svalbard, and she was traveling by shuttle. If she's not getting off the shuttle and onto a plane, then Kier is somewhere relatively close to the farthest northern city in Norway.
  8. Nah, that kid looks just like his dad. I've lived in Austin for 25 years, and if they hadn't said she was from Austin, I never would've gotten that. She's not even trying to have a bad accent. She could be a generic rich white lady from anywhere. Usually when people stereotype Austin, they go with the liberal hippie trope.
  9. Can we get back on track? How it started: How it's going:
  10. Ohhhh got it. Yeah, they were definitely hinting at that.
  11. Saw it this weekend. It was fine, but RPatt's voicework is really top notch. I forget that his regular voice is a normal British guy. Anyway, why would people be leaving? Trying to think of something hugely offensive and I'm coming up short...
  12. Well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
  13. I mean, I guess it's like going to a football game vs watching it at home.
  14. Clear alcohols are for rich women on diets.
  15. She was her lactation consultant. Devon had that amazing line about how Cobel committed lactation fraud.
  16. I think this is a big part of it. I haven't gone to a non-Alamo theater in at least a decade because they do a great job of getting rid of many of the things that suck about other theaters - hordes of unaccompanied high-schoolers, people on their phones, people talking, etc. The pre-shows aren't commercials but montages of interesting footage that somehow relates to the film. And put me in the pro-trailer club - I love seeing glimpses of what's coming up and getting excited about what to see next. That said, it's still expensive, especially if you're eating and drinking. These days, I tend to ration my movie-going to stuff that seems made to watch on a big screen or with a big group, or things that my kids want to see. Anything else I stream. As they've gotten older, movies have stayed the thing that we all still love, so when one of them asks if we can go see something in the the theater, it's usually an easy yes. And I still love going to the movies by myself. If I find myself with a day off from work and nothing else to do, that's usually where I end up. The last component, and what I think Sean Baker was really getting at, is that we miss the community aspect of movie-going when we watch at home, and that community aspect is worth more than we think. I think about this often as I sit at my house with everyone in the same room, but on their individual laptops watching stuff by themselves with their Airpods in. The movies are one of the few experiences left where you really have to all focus on the same thing at the same time. I'm extremely introverted, and if left to my own devices, I could easily get lost in my own head, my own books, my own computer, forever, with nary a word spoken to someone else. And while that's honestly the dream, I don't think it's the best thing for me, or society in general. Anyway, that ended up being a lot longer than I planned. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
  17. Iiiiinteresting. So Cobel invented the Severance procedure. I predict she will choose violence.
  18. This is from later in the same article. Note the last sentence.
  19. Mikey with the upset! It's so weird hearing her without the Brooklyn accent.
  20. One of my college roommates' favorite movies was Center Stage, and damn, has Zoe come far from that.
  21. Seriously, when are they going to add a Best Stunts category?
  22. Kieran Culkin seems like such a class act. He loves his wife and kids so much. And he was great in A Real Pain. Great win.
  23. Another thing I realized today - Dr. Mauer is played by Robby Benson, who was the voice of the beast in the Disney Beauty and the Beast, who also kidnapped a woman from her family and kept her in captivity only to fall in love with her.
  24. The Gemma who tried to escape was outie Gemma, which is why she was a lot more with it than Ms. Casey. When she went down the elevator, she reverted to Ms. Casey, and her personality reverted back to the Ms. Casey we know. Jinx
  25. Mark also mentioned something about how she hated to write thank-you notes, before they showed her in the room where she had to write thank-you notes until she could barely write.
