I have a smart watch that can detect when I fall asleep. I would love it if there was a way to sync that time stamp with when I started a movie and automatically fast forward to 5 mins before then.

It would have to be some third party integration so the streaming service doesn’t harvest the data and decide to stop making things I enjoy because I had a long day.

I mean, it’s a hot take, I’ll give you that. I can’t agree with it, though. Every line of dialogue in that film moves plot. It’s really well edited and far ahead of its time. Modern cinema owes a lot to the lessons taught by Casablanca.

Inception isn’t that great.

It’s complex for the sake of complexity and the complication needlessly makes the story more difficult to parse. The revelation about there being an additional layer before reality is such an overused trope that it wasn’t an interesting twist and added nothing to the plot.

My partner got a pair for work when they first came out (her job involves creating social media content). I was impressed by the speakers and it’s the same style of sunglasses that I normally wear daily, so I got a pair for myself. It was so nice to be able to listen to stuff and take calls without carry around headphones or putting them in when the phone rang. I was already uncomfortable with the association with meta, but was able to isolate that aspect at first. As they continued to add features, I’ve started being less comfortable with them. I accidentally left them somewhere a couple months ago and decided not to replace them. It’s such a bummer that all the cool tech is now not just spying on you, but on everyone around you. Fuckin capitalism ruins everything.

I Ike Righteous Gemstones, but it’s A LOT of Danny McBride. Aside from John Goodman, every actor is channeling Danny McBride through their line delivery and movement. It’s like Danny McBride directed them by saying “Do it like THIS, exactly like this. Mimic my every inflection.”
