I think it’s fairly ridiculous for FX/Hulu to drop all of ‘The Bear’ S3 at once I also know that if I was not allowed to go at my own pace and watch the entire season in fits and starts I would probably set something on fire

If you have not yet started S3 of #TheBear I am very excited for you to start S3 of ‘The Bear’

If you have not yet made it to THAT episode of ‘The Bear’ S3, I am biting my tongue and eagerly waiting for you to reach THAT episode

This is provably untrue - stan culture and “algospeak” and all the rest of it is very much creating In and Outgroups, ask frustrated ND people and non-native speakers If you’re not getting the slang it’s because you’re very deliberately on the outside my dude

Setting aside the clickbait factor (which is pretty much impossible since that’s all of fan/geek culture sites nowadays) so many of these things are based around “if I didn’t think of it until now it’s unknown/underrated”

This triggered a series of synapses that led to me remembering that Jimmy Fallon’s opening for the 2002 VMAs was the peak of his career as well as one of the best award show moments

I find it really helpful for my executive dysfunction to have present in my life a clutch of small petty people who will indeed be psychoanalyzing my every move and building little narratives around them

They can’t get the video feature on here soon enough Anyway around ~1:31 is when “The Landscape of a Dream”performance portion starts, something about Sutherland’s echoey presence ties it all together beautifully

I was at my local library the other week because I needed a place to read while my house was cleaned. And I thought, “If you told a lot of people everything the library has and you told them it cost $30 a month to use it, they’d think it was a great deal.”

Obviously plenty of films wasted good talent by loading up the cast with “Names of the Moment” before the internet I’m just saying I could imagine “Don’t open with long establishing shots” incorporated picking actors based on who was trending the past few months
