“I wanted an entirely different movie and refuse to entertain what the filmmaker wants to do” is quickly becoming my least favorite type of film “criticism”
"Actually the Odyssey movie should have been a more literal and academic retelling of the source material that would fail to recoup its $250 million budget but successfully satisfy a very specific and annoying niche of people"
It would be funny if Nolan came out and said "Actually the Odyssey was filmed on an iPhone and none of you bitches know fuck-all"
They should get whoever invented Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar to invent some more stuff
What it's about to look like trying to catch a bus at 4:59pm on a weekday instead of 6:78pm
Getting randomly selected by the OC Transpo Capacity Agents to spend a few hours peer-mediating disputes in front of the Rideau LRT station
Coming home from the Sens game at midnight and explaining to my wife that OC Transpo said they'd break my legs if I didn't have a few postgame beers at Bert's Bar to ease the burden on the buses
Bold of OC Transpo to demand you hang out at the skate park after work and if you say no, they'll tell everyone it's because you don't know how to kickflip
Tony: It's fuckin beautiful. It's like da Colosseum without all the pricks in togas. It almost makes soccer worth watching, but those guappos at FIFA made sure Italy couldn't show up and embarrass these girls

It was weird how Odysseus was wearing a Red Sox hat the whole time but I trust Nolan's vision
Once again I have been snubbed from being added to the latest Criterion Collection entries just because I have not made a movie
Tried to listen to SWANS again and it pissed me off so much I had to put on some Ry Cooder
I listened a bit more. I don't deny it's cool stuff. But it seems like a novelty and doesn't elicit any emotional response from me
Frank Senators 🇨🇦@sleepenbaker.bsky.social · 5mo agoNo offense but I don't like that polka dot two piece band that everyone is freaking out about
Open-carrying a Chabot rookie card in case anybody in the supermarket parking lot accuses me of bandwagoning the Sens
Wearing a "LOCALLY HATED" shirt every time I go to Kanata
Been getting into Rachmaninoff lately... some of those piano concertos are buck wild
I'm not an expert in fireworks costs but that had to be six figures+ worth of pyrotechnics. Is a Bluesfest act really footing that?
Airstrike level weekday fireworks coming thru crystal clear 👍
Frank Senators 🇨🇦@sleepenbaker.bsky.social · 4w agoNew place is close enough to Blues Fest to hear that music is being played, but not close enough to parse out and appreciate it. Nonetheless I'm not gonna be a bitch about it because I chose to live here and I'm cool

Idea: When my Teams meetings are running over schedule I'm going to start holding up a World Cup extra time clock with prescribed minutes for which we may continue talking before the call blows up
I think my next thing will be learning Ennio Morricone licks on my Telecaster
Business idea: A weather app "Feels like" rating that accounts for what kind of SSRI you're on
Happy for Alfie. I'm sure the Leafs fans will be just as forgiving as us when their powerplay goes 1-for-21 in the playoffs including 0 goals on multiple 5-on-3s.
