I think this is right. The future is probably normal glasses that you can do your normal internet on plus a bunch of new things, not a gameboy glued to your face that whisks you away to an all-dork planet.

In like 1991, Freddy, Jason, and Chucky were the scary mascots of boys older than me. In my head I was like "Those are *monsters*! They kill! How can you like them???" It was a sort of drag show, and 7 year old me was the perfect shocked spectator

I think it's cool that the producers mistyped "Leslie Nielsen" and then decided to make the movie anyway

Just opened some Tofurkey lunchmeat by throwing away the cardboard sleeve, opening the heat-sealed plastic with scissors, throwing away all that plastic, and then slipping the unused slices into my own ziplock bag. Then I had an oreo. Jail is too good for the Tofurkey designers

I can summon every pixel of this image into my mind's eye anytime I want, from the chrome skull sidekick to the untied left shoe, and at least this art is kinda cool. The world is going to be so much crappier without any Lisa Franks left in it

Movie theaters are going to be fine. We’re raising a generation of kids whose parents always fret about “screen time.” When they find out there’s this concept called THE BIG SCREEN they’re gonna flip out

Rewatched this last night for the first time in like 25 years. It's supposed to be dystopian, like "Uh sorry ma'am. The computer says you don't exist. A glitch? Sorry, don't care." But they could remake it and call it "What it's like to try and do literally anything now"

Putting a pin in this Andor thing. If the show ends in a couple years and you all still rave that it's "worth watching" I'll take a gander

Mickey Mouse has the potential to be a great movie character. There's going to be some great stuff once Disney loses its death grip on the rights to him in 2024

Runaway Brain is a 1995 animated comedy-horror short film produced by Walt Disney. It was nominated for an Academy Award, but Disney kept it out of circulation because of its use of an "evil Mickey" & because of the complaints they received surrounding the death of the professor.

PSA: this kind of edit is called a "Rock Bottom," named after the Rock Bottom segment from a 1994 Simpsons episode. They are all funny and I love them, and I want more people to call them Rock Bottoms so people can find them by searching

I had DreamStudio generate a Hokusai painting of Borat and I am going to have it printed out and placed on the inside of my coffin so I can enjoy it forever

There’s a strong case to be made that Tim Robinson is just remaking the Chris Farley living in a van down by the river sketch over and over. There’s also a case to be made that there’s nothing wrong with that
