Probably soda. I think most people enjoy Coke/Pepsi and the other mainstream choices are usually considered superior to the small batch artisan stuff

Requiem for a Dream so you don’t get hooked on them

Counterpoint: John Oliver in sunglasses looks like a dork but he looks respectable in glasses

Snowpiercer 4/5 - Got snowed in so I watched a goofy Sci-fi movie. It’s got a pretty straightforward message but has enough twists and turns to keep it interesting

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 3/5: Knuckles is a fun addition, enough to get a spin off show, apparently. I don’t love the real people and the wedding drama, just give me my speedy hedgehog

Saw V 2/5: One of the better saw movies, which is not high praise. Somehow John Kramer continues being a main character in this franchise despite dying in the first 4. The backwards justification of Hoffman is weird too. Really the 5 person trap is the strength of this movie

The Hateful 8 4/5: Still snowed in so I watched another themed movie. I remembered a lot more of this movie being about deception. I thought there was going to be multiple layers of people lying about who they are, when it mostly is just 1 layer. Very tense thoygh

Send Help 3.5/5: Raimi is one of the better horror/comedy guys out there. It’s absolutely hilarious making Rachel McAdams “frumpy” to absolutely zero success. I expected a little more horror and a little less comedy but I’m not upset with the blend

Dracula (2026) 2/5: I expect this to be devisive. It was billed as horror but was more of a drama/action movie? It kinda flows between romance, horror, and action in a very dreamlike manner. I kept trying to place it with the original Dracula but it veers just enough off course to be hard to follow but close enough that you are really sure what’s going on with the story

Also, where do you get dolled up to go? Do you put on that nice jacket when you’re running to the grocery store or when you’re going to a fancy show? Where do you happen to see people you know? Probably in the places you regularly go to

Moon 3.5/5 - Sam Rockwell may not be the greatest actor on the planet but he has a real knack for picking interesting movies. I like the people vs profit motive at the core

They Cloned Tyrone 3/5 - It’s a modern sci-fi take on blaxploitation. It’s got good jokes and a fun plot. It just doesn’t feel that fresh as a 2023 movie and frankly I can’t take John Boyega as a serious actor. He always looks like a grumpy child

Flow 4.5/5 - Beautiful animation with a compelling story. Obviously being made in blender will draw video game comparisons but that doesn’t make this any less beautiful

You Only Die Twice 3.5/5 - Surprisingly compact for a Bond film. I was a little grumpy that they didn’t send Sean Connery to space (spoiler)

Enter the Dragon 4/5 - Some excellent Kung-Fu. For as much as these movies devolve into “just Kung-Fu fight through everyone on the island” you wonder why they don’t just start with that plan?

When I’m texting my fiance I use

Depending on what application I’m using and which side my bubble is on. Showing me pointing at myself and the number 2 on fingers to mirror doing the same motion in real life

The racism part mentioned by the others is certainly a large portion

However there’s also lobbying from both Tobacco and Alcohol groups against weed. There’s a fear that since weed is less addictive than both that people will use it as an alternative and that means less money from addicts. So they help push anti-weed rhetoric to keep it illegal and they have a lot of money to do so

Foundation was for my bookclub so I just read that. I have read I, Robot and Nightfall and do like Asimov in general, I may come back to the series time permitting

There have been multiple times reading DB that I had to remind myself it was written by a dude in Japan in the 80s who had no idea it would be popular, let alone become a global phenomenon. Roshi and Bulma early on is a little gross, and Goku is way too fascinated with people’s groins. It’s still pretty fun

I understand you’re being sassy but below zero you do start saying “no but seriously, how can it be this cold?” Zero is about the lower limit before temperature stops being distinguishable and just becomes cold

Finished: Foundation by Asimov. Pretty great, I liked the repeated theme that violence is just a bad solution, not a “wrong” one. You can sit around arguing philosophy all day, but if one path involves death and destruction and the other avoids it then it’s hard to argue with results

In progress: Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama. I got a color e-reader for Christmas so I’ve been seeing what Manga is like on it. It’s funny and plays pretty fast and loose with its own rules. It’s also much faster than watching the show

Naughty Bear. At the time I expected to be a funny, dark humor game. Unfortunately it was almost unplayable. I remember multiple times being unable to advance because the game just broke. I didn’t suffer through it very long

Honestly the problem is that people have a problem with conceding games. Even bigger is that some people don’t want to let you concede the game and want to spend another 20 minutes winning. Playing competitive games like chess and Magic: the Gathering have taught me conceding is an acknowledgement of reality, not being a bad sport

I’m 85% sure that vending machine is a guy

Unrealistic. They’d just shoot the dog

There’s a documentary on these 2 Dutch sisters in their 70s who have been in the game for over 100 years between them. So they’re probably up there:

The tampon alcohol thing does work and is very dangerous. Less of the alcohol goes through your liver so you get much more drunk very quickly

Was I? I thought I made that clear, I’m pretty sure The Substance would not exist if Death Becomes Her was not a film
