  • I dont know why some people are assholes. You asked a beginner level question on a forum that allows, I’m assuming, beginners to ask questions. I hope this never happens to you again. Some of us enjoy working with sincere, curious beginners.

    There are ways to talk to these condescending sarcastic assholes. But fuck them. I sorry they were hurtful and I hope you find people who want to go with you on your journey with you.








  • Just finished up Pluribus. I really liked Better Call Saul and think Gillian is a good director and story teller. He really has a knack of filming characters doing something utterly mundane, but zoom out or put that into a larger context and you see the true horror of it all. Pluribus does this, but seems to not be saying anything yet. I have a couple of themes I think they are trying to develop, but by the end of the first season, one of them should at least be clear.

    So it was a relief when I went back to watch Palm Royale. Its a goofy, soapy show about over the top socialites with a bit of campy musical theater thrown into a mystery show. Despite a number of stars in the show, they always come back to the important characters and conflicts. And I’m super happy to see Allison Janey get quite a bit of the spotlight. She’s really a solid actor.




  • 4th grade at a Christian school. My brother was getting into Metallica and so I was also getting into Metallica. Gave a friend a my brother’s copy of Kill 'Em All and that he could borrow it for three days.

    My folks didn’t really care, but his mom raised hell over it. If you don’t know the album, look up it’s cover. Its got a bloody hammer in the center with Kill 'Em All st the bottom. She raised hell and I get called into a meeting with the principle and my folks.

    I don’t remember what was said, but my dad wasn’t going to take any shit from them. I was there to learn and I was a good kid so they can fuck right off. Frankly, I don’t remember having any suspension or detention from it. What I do remember was them throwing out the cassette and knowing how pissed my brother would be. That was the real punishment.

    The satanic panic was dumb. And I was lucky enough to not even know it was going on.
