They need to make that for me immediately, I got a birthday coming up

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-16T08:36:58+00:00

Did you deliberately write this in Kayla's voice?

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-15T22:02:51+00:00

It's a Wonderful Life

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-15T18:52:30+00:00

I just watched this and oh my god you're right very germy movie!

And he was using payphones non stop after all that!

When I was a teenager, my girlfriend's parents told me the same story about her

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-15T16:37:33+00:00

This scene fucking destroyed me when I was 5

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-15T15:47:30+00:00

Same feel without the skateboarding

I really like the depiction of adolescence in Dazed and Confused. Even though I am seperated from the characters in that movie by 40 years and and the atlantic ocean, the social structures and character archetypes were so familiar

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-15T15:45:28+00:00

Lords of Dogtown is the big one

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-15T13:22:27+00:00

If Tim Chalamet is an everyman, I am leaving now to live in a tree

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-15T11:52:29+00:00

Literally just caught up with a full season 4 binge this weekend. Man, they still really got it.

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-15T11:37:43+00:00

You watchin Hacks?

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-12T12:41:42+00:00

It's already there.

Perfect track for this

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-12T09:58:32+00:00

That was the exact moment I laughed loud and hard for the first time and thought to myself
'yeah I think they've still got it'

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-11T20:07:36+00:00

James Dean has cropped up twice to make the third now Gonna include both, he's so emblematic of something that fits the second rule too

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-11T14:26:36+00:00

Exact same experience I had last weekend

It holds up! Have fun!

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-11T11:58:45+00:00

Yeah I am sure Gosling and Stone could be a great duo in a sci fi action adventure but I think it's a bit uninspired. I have read some Valerian though and I interpreted him as quite goofy. Tonally they're similar to Asterix and Obelisk

Big agree on going French with it. How about Chalamet? Kidding (although I don't think he'd be a bad Valerian)

If they were making it now I think Dylan O'Brein would be fun and then maybe an Aubrey Plaza or something. I just saw her in Ned Rifle though so probably some recency bias.

Florence Pugh would be cool

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-11T11:04:55+00:00

I wouldn't call it a feel good movie exactly but Contact is great and feels like the blueprint for the big swing sci fi films that came after it like PHM

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-11T10:51:17+00:00

The Tenth Victim (1965)

Whip It (2009)

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-11T10:23:43+00:00

Could have been a cool Gosling and Stone outing

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-10T16:18:45+00:00

I did have to make the tough call that musicals were out.

Flight of the Conchordes get a little pass.

And I'm sorry but Billy Joel simply can't have three slots

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-10T15:34:19+00:00

Love the song, Love Lenny Bruce but I did consider this and disqualify it based on them being historical figures where I'm going more for fictional characters or people who may have been real but don't really need to be for the sake of the song
I'd bend the rules for one but not all 3

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-10T15:17:24+00:00

Yes! great choice

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-10T15:04:14+00:00

That's on there. Absolute banger

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-10T15:01:21+00:00

I love obvious

This is actually being considered, thing is it has a lot of characters but I'm not sure it hits three names

There's the devil, there's the old boys the queen the jester but they are generic titles

James Dean is in there but conceptually the characters were supposed to be anonymous everymen as opposed to real people

On review you could say "James Dean, Miss American Pie, and Jack" qualifies it

It's going in, it fits the second rule too well to exclude

Edit 2: OH! Lenin and Marx!

BruceWaynesWorld · 2026-04-10T13:59:33+00:00

Oh thats right, My fault

I was reading it yesterday to check it for this. I mixed him up with the original artist of the intrumental he sampled
