    I'd say watch The Straight Story. It's not like a key to his other more art-house movies or anything like that, it's just really good and wholesome.

    Gosh dang. I mostly know Uecker from comedy, not sports, but he was a really funny guy.
    Lynch -- dunno what to say. He was a master. TP: The Return is straight up one of the best things I've ever seen, so to go out on that note is as good as one could ask for. I went to college in L.A. and got to see a sneak preview of Mulholland Drive on campus. Aside from Dune, that was the first Lynch thing I'd ever seen (didn't watch Twin Peaks during its original run), and I was mesmerized. And while not strictly horror, it gave me the single biggest jump scare I've ever had.

    It's been a few weeks but I forgot to mention I watched Batman: Caped Crusader, the new Bruce Timm series. I thought it was pretty great. It's in many ways very much in the style of TAS, just in a completely alt-world version of Gotham. Once you get over the dissonance between the very strong similarities to TAS and the otherwise sweeping changes that make this show unique from both TAS and any other film/TV iteration of Gotham, there's a lot of great work here. Very impressed by Hamish Linklater as Bruce/Bats, who's written a lot more overtly on the edge (i.e. less sane) here. My biggest complaint is that it's such a short season that you don't really get much in the way of repeat appearances (or appearances at all) from the rogue's gallery.

    With horror it's always YMMV based on what ticks your personal boxes, but I would consider Hereditary to be intensely disturbing. I won't go into detail, but it is much more focused on a single family going through horrific events. Midsommar kinda puts the folk horror stuff up front and lets the personal horror simmer underneath, to bubble up occasionally...and Hereditary does the inverse of that, to bleak and harrowing effect imo. I love em both though.

    Pretty much. But I've had my experiences with salt & vinegar chips, sour candy, burning the roof of my mouth with hot pizza, etc. and this was the worst by a mile. I am still in pain.


    You know what? This same sister also got me a pizza cutter for Xmas. Not a spinner, but this small one-hander blade that you rock along the pizza.

    Spoiler


    Well I used that for the first time the other day on a cheapo frozen pizza, and as I was cutting it, one slice literally flew off the plate onto my counter, and due to the laws of physics, my fist holding the cutter went straight down into the opposite slice, so I basically punched directly down with force into molten cheese and sauce.

    Either my sister is trying to kill me or I am a Grade A dumbass. I'll let you all decide.

    On further reflection, maybe not so much "jolly good" as "the whole situation sucks but I'm very glad you and yours are safe and I'm sorry to hear that people you know where impacted, but again I'm glad they are safe".

    Hah, western north south west. Nice. Hadn't thought of it that way.
    Sometimes us from regional New South Wales refer to NSW as Newcastle Sydney Wollongong - the main metro areas that get all the attention from govt and the media, the rest of the state being "here be dragons" as far as they are concerned. :P

    If it's all the same to you, I'd like 2022 to be very low on surprises ...
    Except the lottery-winning kind. I'd like at least a big pleasant surprise there.
