40 years later, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives is still my all-time favorite slasher. Plenty of movies have come and gone from my favorites list over the years, but this one has always been my constant. Happy 40th anniversary. ⚡🔪

Coworker was going on about a pro soccer player she wants to degrade herself with when someone goes, "You're such a gooner," then saw the befuddled look on my face. Her: "Carl, do you know what a gooner is?" Me: "Idk. A really big fan of The Goonies?" 🤷♂️
Same! All Cady's done is present himself as an ally & friend to the Bowdens. Meanwhile, they're the ones treating him like dirt and projecting all their own guilt onto him. At this point, they seem like the real monsters and he comes across as, can't believe I'm saying this, decent and rational.
CAPE FEAR: I'm rooting for Max Cady.
Now seated for the most patriotic movie of all: William Lustig's UNCLE SAM! A true 4th of July film.
The opposite of obsession isn't about being together, it's acceptance. Love reaches a point where someone else's happiness matters more than whether you're the one providing it. If you aren't meant to be that person, accepting it and hoping they find what they need is what matters most. That’s love.
