Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. If some lady handed me a free sword I'd still take it though.

as a cinema nerd and media critic there is nothing as wildly annoying as a movie with potential good film? well it's good bad film? either funny or easy to ignore mediocre film? forgettable but bad/mediocre with potential? now i have to have so many OPINONS about it, QUESTIONS, IDEAS. god damn it

my 14yo son passed by my PC while i was working on a website project and said "wow you made it do something cool!!" so the key to impressing teens is CSS and HTML coding

Last Action Hero (1993)

sometimes i think John Leguizamo is tiny but then i realise i am just remembering that he was tiny in Moulin Rouge

my TTRPG would probably be finished if i wasn't so busy learning CSS so i could explain to goobers why genAI sucks we've all been there, right chat

"this is John Wick, this is Jim with a crunched up face, this is Hatsune Miku, and this is my first married couple, who are gay" - my son describing his Tomodachi Life island to me
