"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Exactly! Jon Favreau writes things! It made sense.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Have I shared that I only recently realized that while Phoebe Waller Bridge is very talented, she is not also a podcaster (Phoebe Judge) or a musician (Phoebe Bridgers).

When a friend of mine made this list on FB a few months back, he also included Phoebe Dynevor, star of Bridgerton. We wound up deciding that someone should produce a rom-com farce starring ONLY actors named either Phoebe or Chris.

My favorite thing about Godzilla vs King Kong was that when the two Godzillas are shooting plasma rays at each other out of their mouths, the closed captions read "[warbling]"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That is now my favorite thing as well. [warbles in assent!]

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh that reminds me of the episode where Giles was turned into a monster ('It's only a *little* tail!") and when he chased after the evil professor, gargling in monster speak, the closed caption read "Run! Run away fast, you evil little woman! Evil!" or something like.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Finally got a chance to see "The Father," which has a brilliant conceit executed superbly. Anthony Hopkins always gives memorable performances but he's next level in this film as a man suffering from progressive dementia. It plays often like a thriller, or even horror, and engaged me thoroughly during its deeply upsetting and disorienting 97 min runtime. The entire film is an exercise in immersive empathy. I went to a late showing last night with about 10 people in the entire theater, and heard several people sobbing out loud near the end. I went in expecting it to be a staid Oscar film and it's anything but. Highly recommended.

6 Best Picture nominees down, "The Trial of Chicago 7" to go (groan).

God bless you, Vonnie, but I don't think there's any way I can watch that movie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, my mother asked if I wanted to watch it with her, and I just said Hell No.

I watched it. Sasha Baron Cohen is almost unrecognizable and pretty good! That is the best part.

Our wings are not tired.

That really sounds too rough for me as well.

Oh wait, I was talking about The Father, what are you all talking about?
