The Bangles’ “Hazy Shade of Winter’” is leaps beyond S&G’s original. It’s a banger. youtu.be/TxrwImCJCqk?si=FSfJ…

A re-watch of the TGEITH series is a once a year (at least) tradition in this house, usually followed up with The Adult Swim Golf Classic as a chaser.

So if I understand this DOGE…thing, Musk is basically Charles Grodin’s Murray Blum character from the movie “Dave”? But not affable or likable like Charles Grodin was, nor good at responsible accounting like Murray was?

I think “The Saint” (1997) may be my top I-unabashedly-love-this-film-and-literally-no-one-else-has-ever-heard-of-it movie. Both Elizabeth Shue and Val Kilmer were excellent in it.

Basically taking the same logical leap as Tracey Jordan…not something you want a President doing… “Would you agree a man’s freedom only exists when he’s free to pursue his desires? Which means, when the law conflicts with our desires, then we must operate *outside* the law.”

How dare…how DARE!…Nintendo toy with our emotions by releasing a commercial with an unseen “Uncle Gary” mentioned and then *not* have it be revealed to be #NintendoWeek Gary.

And there was also the whole “Mike Lindell hand-delivering a coup workbook” thing on Jan. 15, complete w/ installing specific loyalists and activating the Insurrection Act. Has anyone asked ol’ Mike, by the way, who drafted that for him?

Boban knew the assignment. The kind of thing that’ll be much more meaningful looking back than the two points in the statbook.

Anytime @HouseofDragon knocks it out of the park with its dragon CGI (which last night’s ep. *definitely* did!), I’ll again implore and plead to @StreamOnMax that they next take on the many, many #DragonridersOfPern novels.

A Bucket of Truth would fit nicely.

Two films, both with 42% Tomatometer scores: the Wachowskis’ “Speed Racer” (2008) and the Bale-McConaughey post-apocalypse-dragon-slaying-sci-fi “Reign of Fire” (2002). Both legit great movies, but were deemed too bombastic, either in style or premise, by critics at the time.

“Please Do Not Go” for me, but maaan, is that a tight debut album by The Violent Femmes. It’s been too long since I’ve given it a full listen through. Correcting that this weekend. youtu.be/4J5kjxdsxBA?si=lpqv…

Can confirm. As an early-90s kid, saw this super shiny cover, and was *immediately* an SS fan.

Specifically, it’s right out of Paw Patrol: The Movie. The very first scene in fact, on either side of the title card.

Attempting to will into existence a @NintendoAmerica #NintendoSwitch compilation of three classic (but overlooked) #LucasArts games: The Dig, Labyrinth: The Game, and, most importantly, LOOM (image below). Bonus kudos if Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle are on there too.

The handheld ones that I’d never played — ALBW, OoA, and OoS; got my first 3DS early last year basically to download those games (ended up buying waaaay more games…). Oh, and picked this up too ⬇️ After these, my LoZ playthrough will be entirely up-to-date!
