Adam is naming all the animals. He sees an insect buzzing in the air.
“That’s flying, so I’ll call it a ‘fly.’”
He sees a bird in the sky.
“This is already getting way too complicated.”

“Adam, so I was near the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and this snake came up to me and said—“
“You mean a ‘crawl’?”
“…”
“I told you we’re not calling it that.”

Remember when Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize just for existing? Things used to be so silly.

Forgiving a murder from a year ago is baffling to people who can’t forgive a tweet from ten years ago.

Can imagine pre-2010 someone pitching a movie in which Donald Trump is president, but it’s a drama and not a comedy?

“Thanks to the success of the Joker movies, we’re now having a Penguin movie!”
“Oh no!”
fat, short middle-aged men go on violent rampages

Don’t turn against free speech or eat babies.

My favorite part of The Joker is where he says, “Riddle me this!” and then shoots at Batman with his umbrella.

Scorsese: “What am I? A director? Here to amuse you?”

ME: “The most common cause of death is—“
MY 6yo SON: “Lava.”

“Lava” was also his guess on why the moon glows at night.

Do I have to watch the Joker movie to have a hot take about it?

My 6yo is listening to the audiobook of Hellbender and responding to whatever words he recognizes.
“There’s a government in this!”

There’s no lava in the story, though 🙁
There was in Sidequest.

The whole Scorsese thing is just sour grapes as he knows how much better Taxi Driver would be if Travis Bickle had a lighting-infused hammer.

It’s not cinema unless you’re kinda bored by it but feel cultured afterward.

I think I learned the cinema distinction back when I had Netflix DVDs through the mail. They were the movies that I got because I heard what classics they were but they’d just sit there while I’d immediately watch whatever disposal blockbuster came my way.
If I dragged myself to watch them, I get engrossed and afterward say “What a great film!” but they took effort to start.

I think one of the reasons Brandt Jean’s actions angered so many is we’ve become a culture that not only wants to hate, but wants to be told their hate is righteous and good. And here is someone no one would blame to hold on to some hate, and he said no.

Watching Spider-Man: Far from Home. Glad Sony and Disney worked out a deal or otherwise this would be just a little depressing watching knowing it would be the last of MCU Spider-Man.
Man, the “Blip” was not random. Of course, all the original Avengers were spared. And every major character from Spider-Man got “blipped” so they would all stay the same age.
So do Italians usually have to rely on vacationing American superheroes? Shouldn’t there be like a Pastaman or something?
I do like their universe’s Daria/MJ. She’s so weird.
LOL. “Night Monkey.” Ned might be my favorite MCU character.
Oh. Wow. A number of big surprises in the first after credits scene, including the return of a character that’s hard to imagine being played by anyone else.
Anyway, that was a fun movie! But I’ll need like a 60 tweet thread to analyze whether it was “cinema.”

My 4yo just now: “When I grow up, I want to be a goose.”
Guess what video game we’re playing.

My older daughter’s suggestion for a title for the Untitled Goose Game is “Bad Goose.” Yeah, that works.
You worry about violent video games, but I’m not sure what to think of my kids trying to come up with new ways for the goose to be mean to random people.
“Steal his newspaper and throw it in the water!”

I don’t care if Trump stays as president or is brought down. He’s not the problem.

It really seems like a lot of people when they hear someone is a billionaire, they think of Scrooge McDuck with a big vault full of a billion dollars they can spend any time they want.
Sure, Bezos could sell off a lot of his stake and Amazon and buy people all the things they think they deserve, but that’s not long-term sustainable. And I kinda assume if someone like him started selling his stock, that would drastically affect the price.
Actually, that’s an interesting question. Bezos is said to be worth 108.4 billion. If he decided to liquidate all his assets, how much cash could he actually get on hand? I’d need someone more versed in economics to answer that.

I really need daily assurances from the president that the kind of genius he is is stable.

The far left get really mad when people aren’t hateful enough to those they hate, which is really sick.

If you’re not constantly throwing tantrums at the mere sight of people who disagree with you, how caring a liberal are you?
