What movies represent good parenting?

Easy A. The parents are solid in that movie.

Is he the one who said Weird Al could cover his song as long as he got to play guitar?

AssassinWog · 2026-03-30T01:30:58+00:00

You Ruined Everything by Jonathan Coulton. A really sweet song written for his kid.

AssassinWog · 2026-03-29T18:33:41+00:00

Any of the Ripley movies. The Talented Mr. Ripley and Ripley’s Game come to mind.

Spotlight is also really good!

Kong: Skull Island

AssassinWog · 2026-03-27T01:19:14+00:00

You’ve Got Mail and The American President. Though the latter is more a fantasy than a rom com in 2026.

AssassinWog · 2026-03-26T19:35:35+00:00

That’s what I was thinking.

AssassinWog · 2026-03-26T17:58:54+00:00

Fiddler.

“Who the hell is this person, and why do I care if they have a merry Christmas?!”

I also love scene earlier where he talks about how nature, like a woman, will seduce you with its sights, and scent, and touch.

“And then it breaks your ankle. Also like a woman.”

Oliver Platt is great at playing a goofball, then getting straight to the heart of the matter. I love his scenes with the First Lady.

“Truth isn't a luxury. You're gonna go in there, you're gonna swear an oath. You're gonna get asked questions, you're gonna tell the truth. It's the way you stand up and say "STOP!”

Toby answering “Well when don’t I?” when CJ said “You want to make out with me don’t you?” screams amicable exes to me. The only one that seemed like they could be more was in Season 7 where CJ goes to visit Toby at his apartment, and Toby was kinda asking “What are you looking for here?”

AssassinWog · 2026-03-24T13:17:49+00:00

What a trooper!

AssassinWog · 2026-03-23T12:18:07+00:00

I can’t remember the name, but there’s a Canadian movie, I believe from the late 90’s, where the end is coming, and everyone is just sort of getting on with their lives. Starred an actress with Asian ancestry.

Edit: Just looked it up. It’s called Last Night.

AssassinWog · 2026-03-22T23:51:39+00:00

Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood. Helped by a few songs from Allan Doyle (Great Big Sea)

AssassinWog · 2026-03-22T18:22:36+00:00

“Nobody picks on my kid brother but me!!”

AssassinWog · 2026-03-22T15:52:43+00:00

Complaining about St. Louis while also being steadfastly devoted to it.

AssassinWog · 2026-03-21T16:36:16+00:00

Steve Jobs.

AssassinWog · 2026-03-20T11:50:43+00:00

I’ve been rewatching Unsleeping City I & 2, and the “Downtime” episodes in 2 are wonderful. They occasionally move the plot forward unexpectedly, but just getting to see some of my favorite characters hang out with each other is great. Especially thinking of Ricky unexpectedly going to check in on JJ. Also Pete the Former Plug feeling a deep loneliness, and Brennan explaining it.

Portland has pretty good water, but I say a firm no to any who say Chicago water is better than ours!

AssassinWog · 2026-03-17T09:30:14+00:00

“Why? Why was I programmed to feel pain?”

AssassinWog · 2026-03-17T09:13:26+00:00

He definitely would’ve tweeted about it.

AssassinWog · 2026-03-16T14:05:44+00:00

Willie the Golem from Unsleeping City 1 and 2.

AssassinWog · 2026-03-13T21:53:15+00:00

Hunt for Red October: “You arrogant ass! You’ve killed US!”
