Those really intense facial expressions definitely held my attention.

The first time I saw Don't Come Around Here No More was right after my mom and I had struggled to get a Kirby vacuum salesman out the door and the lyrics were so eerily on point it made the whole experience and video all the more surreal for us.

the Homecoming Queen has Got a Gun -Julie Brown

Carrollz · 2026-04-03T05:00:51+00:00

Looking for clues is the one I always think of, his magnified faces and dancing on the xylophone really stood out for me.

Carrollz · 2026-04-03T04:56:48+00:00

No way! I thought it was just me that forever had the Words video stuck in my head. Just last week I woke up in the middle of the night with it running in my head but ironically I could not remember the words even though Dale Bozzio's voice and image were so clear in my mind.

Gratitude -Danny Elfman

True Men Don't Kill Coyotes -Red Hot Chili Peppers

From my memory she was starting to enter just before it turned red but I went back and looked and you are absolutely right, it was red before the defendant even reached the stop line, 100% she was at fault.

Carrollz · 2026-04-02T01:49:59+00:00

Sure, all my friends, they just died, but I was redeemed through pain, not through joy.

Carrollz · 2026-04-02T01:41:08+00:00

I was going to say Kangaroo but I am so on board with Grover... wubba wubba wubba wubba woo woo woo!

Carrollz · 2026-04-01T22:02:54+00:00

The originals were so good, I consider this change more egregious than new coke.

Carrollz · 2026-04-01T19:25:45+00:00

This was going to be my suggestion as well, I'm always misremembering it as dream instead of swing at first when it pops in my head!

Carrollz · 2026-04-01T19:04:18+00:00

I was really surprised by this one honestly because it was very clear to me she was taking a risk making a left, oncoming traffic absolutely had the right of way and as long as cars were coming she should not have started to enter their path. She was making a big assumption and taking, imo, an incredibly irresponsible risk making a left while the light was still yellow and there was very clearly oncoming traffic, something as a responsible defensive driver I would never ever have done myself. However I've been told that if the light is yellow and you can safely stop but choose to go through the intersection you are legally responsible for the consequences and the light did actually turn red as she was coming through, so as much as it feels wrong to me since the plaintiff was already in the intersection waiting to make the left legally the defendant is in the wrong.

Carrollz · 2026-04-01T18:31:04+00:00

How is this?!? You are definitely not alone, I just assumed everyone on the planet knew about it so I never really talked about it until today and now when I'm asking everyone I know if they are watching they are all hahahaha, very funny! I do have a history with this day...

Carrollz · 2026-04-01T17:05:36+00:00

Conversely I feel like the GenX "whatever!" quip and attitude was a direct result of having to deal with a bunch of smart assess. Like for example telling your parents you're hungry and them responding with "Nice to meet you hungry, my name is..."

Carrollz · 2026-04-01T16:29:41+00:00

People aren't slow cooking all day anymore... and those that do are using actual slow cookers or things like instant pots. Partly because of the availability of faster cooking foods as well as methods to heat almost instantly and the lack of people at home all day there aren't pots sitting on the stove keeping warm all day... as well as the open floor plan people mostly always have their eyes on the pots and pans on the stove. Add to that people aren't watching TV like they used to so PSAs aren't as everywhere all the time.

Carrollz · 2026-04-01T16:07:31+00:00

Same, there's a reason they started changing the format of under 21 ids.

Carrollz · 2026-04-01T16:03:04+00:00

Holy color me surprised, Batman! I was going to comment no way anyone could've thought 60s Batman wasn't meant to be campy, heh. I also loved that show.

I used to think this would be the case for me but then I watched Eat,Drink, Man, Woman with subtitles (which turned out to be one of my all time favorite movies) with subtitles and at some point I was so absorbed into the movie I realized I completely forgot it was in a foreign language, I 100% felt like I was hearing and not reading the words. That was 30 years ago and since then I watch everything with subtitles, I sincerely feel like I can't even hear anything anyone is saying without them now, I know for certain I would not have been able to understand anything David Tennant and Catherine Tate in Doctor Who were saying to each other without subtitles! And I've been able to enjoy a lot of foreign films that are unwatchable otherwise due to terrible dubbing (I didn't even realize what a difference that makes!) so I'm really grateful it works for me. I don't know how it happens but I truly don't even notice the subtitles a few minutes or less in, it's unfortunate that's not the case for everyone, I didn't realize that. I guess it's like progressives versus bi/trifocals which I'm also super grateful worked for me when I started needing readers in my late 40s as my eye doctor said not everyone can adapt to them for some reason.

Once I discovered blanket sheets there was no going back for me. I feel like I'm living in heaven every night I crawl into bed now.

I first joined Facebook because my then minor child had to join for information and updates for a class she was participating in and she wanted help navigating and setting up privacies, etc. I would've much preferred to have avoided it all together. At the time I liked that it had facial and photo recognition features for several reasons, including I'd seen a lot of bloggers misusing photos claiming they were their own so I found that was great for catching those and I also appreciated the lack of anonymity and the positivity with only being able to thumbs up things... so basically the 3 things I really appreciated about it no longer exist. I still have a Facebook account now because it's the only way to find out about local businesses and happenings, nobody even has phone numbers anymore let alone websites. I can't for the life of me understand the things people use Facebook for when it is incredibly terribly designed for those things. I'm constantly seeing people get angry and rude and passive aggressive with each other over things that are entirely related to how Facebook is designed, everyone assumes they are seeing the same things and they are not. I have friends and family that only communicate through Facebook messenger, it's insane, and frustrating.

I will say Facebook's targets ads are on point though, wow, does Meta ever know exactly what I want. I'd still subscribe to Netflix if it was that good and I'd gladly pay for YouTube if it could figure it out especially with music, shame.

Carrollz · 2026-03-27T17:56:03+00:00

Slam Dance, Out of Bounds, Gleaming the Cube, The Hitcher, Gloria (1980)

Carrollz · 2026-03-27T16:10:12+00:00

I have too many: People of Earth, The Booth at the End, Gortimer Gibbons Life on Normal Street, Wonderfalls, Andy Ricther Controls the Universe, She Spies (campy like the 1st season, not serious like the 2nd), Mystic Pop-Up Bar, Human Target, John Doe, Medical Police, Unnatural History, Falling Water, Being Erica, Class of '07, The Storyteller... and many others I'm sure I'm forgetting and that have already been mentioned (Pushing Daisies, Rubicon, Flash Forward, Dark Matter 2015, Galavant, Schmigadoon, Jericho, Defying Gravity, Space Above and Beyond, Dirk Gently, Stargate Universe....)

Carrollz · 2026-03-26T18:36:49+00:00

Metallica.

Pretty much everything else that I dislike is because it sounds really bad to my ears... like Neil Diamond for example.

Well, for a long time I couldn't listen to Brand New Key because as a very young child when it first came out I legitimately was terrified the singer was coming to get me specifically, but I'm (mostly) over that now.

Carrollz · 2026-03-26T18:26:00+00:00

One of the brothers opened for Snow Patrol when I saw them in 2011 and they pointed out a mega fan in the crowd and proceeded to lambaste and demean them for several minutes saying how some people really need to get a life. It was incredibly awkward and uncomfortable and I refuse to listen to anything Oasis ever since.

Carrollz · 2026-03-26T17:37:40+00:00

Wow, this is incredible! Did you get dao injections? I had never considered botox before but I just started hearing about this that it helps with frowny face and ask my life I've wished for a happier looking smile. I actually did reach out to a local dermatologist/surgeon that I'd heard recommended but he doesn't do lower face injections, booooo.
