i'll get started: salt and vinegar is my fav flav of chip (see, this is technically still a one-liner cuz i used a colon, and not a period or exclamation mark)

a depot for passing one-liners about throwaway aspects of whatever makes you you

nah that was my review of coyote ugly! idk. i appreciated carol on a technical level. beautiful obvs. maybe i was expecting more melodramatic bursts, ala far from heaven...? but carol was so much more subdued, so much more languorous, which is not necessarily a bad thing, it just didn't capture me o...

go vegan pro tip: oreos are vegan... wait. you're british. this joke works only if you have oreos in britain. do you guys have oreos in britain? if you do, then the joke is that veganism can be humorously used as an excuse to eat nothing but lots of junk food that happens to be vegan. if not, then ...

the trial (orson welles) i like orson more the older i get. syntactically, this was delirious, a wall of dialogue to get lost in; though contrasted with very controlled mise en scene. in those ways an exacting adaptation, aurally opaque, with meaning bleeding through visually. and as with much of hi...

also, for those interested: here's cycle 1.0, sorted in descending order by # of replies. while it's not a perfect representation of a single year's 'popularity' (# of replies ofc varies by a multitude of factors totally unrelated to popularity), i think the sorted list in its entirety does provide ...

this is actually one of my biggest gripes with live perfs: the live version isn't as good as the original 99% of the time!

why take the song that everyone wants to hear, and turn it into a different less good version that no one wants to hear?

i guess it just seems less vocal (outside of the polls)...? i know i've personally included satantango on multiple lists. noe is def in the dislike category tho

blue dekalog *seen five (feel like dekalog hit that easily-hateable-cuz-it's-so-canonical lvl a while back, but still it's a pretty exemplary example (reredundundantdant) of immaculate utilization (bigbigwordswords) of the tv episodic format (cool story bro); and while i remember renting blue and re...

good money down the drain it's absolutely mindboggling how often it pops up near or even at the top of best-of lists for xbox one games. think i ended up spending more time googling stuff like 'i don't like witcher 3' than i spent actually playing the game. online there's this crazy large cult surr...
