A long time ago, a friend told me to always carry a book of stamps in my wallet. He said "you can't always anticipate when you need them, and when people ask for them, you can help". Sure as shit, every now and then people would ask me if… [more]

If you're a fan of time loops, give Replay by Ken Grimwood a shot. I read it shortly after it was released, and was initially disappointed in Groundhog Day because I thought Replay's story was more interesting. Groundhog Day grew on me, over time,… [more]

I don't think anyone pointed this out, but I'm pretty sure that when Grogu jumps into Mando's arms during the chase, it's a force-jump, since all he could muster before are tiny little hops. [more]

I loved this movie. I think now, though, the misogyny (at least, I think I remember it being pretty bad) would make it unwatchable for me. [more]

I also hadn't heard about Carruth's abuse. I really liked this, although confess to not totally getting the thread. Similarly his followup, Upstream Color, which I think wasn't so much a movie as an aesthetic. [more]

Downtown is different from other parts of the city. Mostly, I think, because of remote work. There are significantly fewer people commuting in to work, which means fewer office workers, and a lot of the businesses are struggling/closed. Having said… [more]
