"Now try this York Peppermint Patty"

I'll blame the daylight savings time switch for not understanding where you're going with that one

Nothing wrong with having an organized approach 🙂

My kid and I are sort of giving each other a crash course in film appreciation, it's been fun

Used to go to the same video store as him - he would walk in, go to a section, rent an armload from a single row and walk out.

I think he was trying to "speed run" ingesting all of pop culture alphabetically.

Did I ever tell you about the time your uncle dropped his gum in the chicken coop?
Three times he thought he'd found it.

It's not magic.
It's NOT.
And if it IS magic, it's not EVIL magic.

Favourite LoTR character

Where little buggers sneak in to said office to steal your precious potions and food EVERY. DAMN. NIGHT.

(And your dumbass coworers are as likely as not to kill you accidentally while targeting them)

Damn, I was too slow to make this comment before Doc Halliday.

Not familiar with it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was more of the "aren't I shocking?" stuff that eventually turned me off Kickass.
Which is a shame because as I said there were some fun ideas and trope inversions going on.

Fingers crossed for a Rhys Darby cameo...

Always here for a Kroll reference

"Before he eats anyone ELSE'S shirts!

... that's totally what happened. It's not like I'd dress like this by choice."

That's cause his costume is just a poorly fitting wetsuit that he bought online.

Supe deconstruction is very done by now but the first book of Kickass is worth reading at least once, has some interesting ideas.

The movie drops some of those, unfortunately, but makes up for it by being hilarious.

I heard Snagglepuss was inconsolable

Noooo!

Fair enough, but it's going to lose a lot of value if the struts break.

Credits to the movie The Valley of Gwangi. "Additional Material by Julian More"

When your name is Julian More, it seems like your destiny is to provide Additional Material

I always wanted an animated Hanna Barberra show featuring the band Hole solving mysteries.
Courtney would insist on calling their vehicle The Love Machine of course.

Except for one episode where they fly The Holecoptor.

Reading "The Island of Dr Moreau" for the first time.
Man, that H.G. Wells cat sure could write.

At least...I assume he was a cat.

Beautiful area. Always loved visiting relatives in Seattle, exploring Washington state, taking the train down to Oregon, doing a big road trip to California. Good times.

We are springing forward tomorrow, but for the last time.
Got tired of waiting for similar U.S. legislation to pass.

Some people are complaining that it was Standard Time we should have made permanent but in the end most don't care.

We can stop switching the clock? Good enough.

Yes but also no.
And i wouldn't hold them so close to my face if I were you.

But just how brightly lit?
Firebeetle glands?

Not surprising there's a whole little cottage industry around talking and thinking about it
