Am I the only one who accidentally rented the extended cut and sat through the full 3 hours (took me two nights)?
I worked on a movie with Billy Bob Thorton and I saved the story so long they stopped doing calls from the hot line lol
Oh shit! Thought it was me. Good to know.
Thanks for asking, I am currently reading and loving The Black Company series.
Actually, Ben Franklin invented bifocals, not da Vinci
Book Rec: You should check out the Dungeon Crawler Carl audio books. Great story and great narration. Maybe the best audio narrator I've heard.
we've done at least one other John Candy movie: one of his first roles The Silent Partner! which has since become a yearly christmastime watch for me
Yep sounds like I made a good call not watching this one
Greyhound rips and has a smooth 91 minute runtime
Re: serial killer psychology, I enjoyed this video where a Professor of Criminology from England talks about movie serial killers. I was particularly struck by the part around 14:00 where he comes right out and calls them losers. Not a revelation but nice to hear an expert just say it. https://youtu.be/29n2bv7F6uc?si=ojOmRck3QtzSkLQ8
Around 2006 Kilmer was in the TV movie version of Comanche Moon, one of the McMurtry Lonesome Dove prequels. I just rewatched it last week. He's fucking awesome in it.
This kind of book monoculture thing does still happen!! It’s not for me, but half of the women I know have read ACOTAR and Fourth Wing. And sales figures seem to support their being monoculture-level popular. Don’t underestimate the buying power of horny moms!!
Yeah the issue is men don't read fiction anymore
Dick Clark and Ed McMahon hosted TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes. There was a rip off version of the Clark and Ed show on ABC hosted by Don Rickles and Steve Lawrence, I think. I remember thinking it was cheesy. I can't recall the name of it.
I worked at the Strand when the Da VInci Code came out. It was insane how many copies sold. 50 to 100 every day. For months. $30 hardcovers every day. One Da Vinci-adjacent book I have to recommend is Par Lagerkvist's "The Dwarf." It's about the politics of Renaissance Italy and it doesn't have anything to do with conspiracies, but it's an incredible book. The opening paragraph is perfect.
If a fraction of the people who bought the Da Vinci Code discovered Umberto Eco, I'm going to count that as a win.
Did you guys read Harris’s Cari Mora? It was awful :(
Loved Napa Boys! Reminded me of the first time I saw Wet Hot in 2001
I always loved checking out the selection in Independent video rental stores. So many gems I never would have watched otherwise. Also at First Video in Seward, AK you could only go behind the counter and rent porn if you were 25, in the military or married.

I've only read this book back in like 2004, never cared to see the movie. It's also funny if people are here to hear you guys talk about movies or shows specially... I'm here for the tangents and recommendations
Halfway through First Law trilogy and loving it. Anybody know if Mistborn is comparable?
Yeah. I like First Law a lot more, the tone is more up my alley. But quality wise they’re on par.
that rick rubin book is bananas
Was Scott rogowski there
The still for this episode looks like Rodgers is announcing a successful coup d’état
The new studio definitely has some hostage video or CIA black site vibes.
