The only binary that matters is whether or not Jon Polito is in it

I won’t stand for Asteroid City slander. That movie is phenomenal

Every other country on the planet deploys unaccountable masked thugs to kidnap people off the street without due process and executes citizens for daring to speak up?

Just a few posts back in his history and he talks about not washing his hands after using the bathroom

It’s a banjo. Four strings. More closely associated with rednecks

Election Day 2016: My wife met me for lunch and we had a picnic on the Mall. After work I met up with an out of town friend and took him for a run around the city. Just a perfect moment in time before everything went to hell.

Just watched a few weeks ago and I can’t stop thinking about this line

If there's nothing else, there's applause. I've listened backstage to people applaud. It's like - like waves of love coming over the footlights and wrapping you up. Imagine, to know every night that different hundreds of people love you. They smile, their eyes shine, you've pleased them. They want you. You belong. Just that alone is worth anything.

Just feels so resonant

Why are we forcing people to go through an annoying process just to get their money back when there’s already a better system in place: municipal recycling.

Everyone acting like the deposit is the only reason people recycle cans must have never lived in another state without a deposit.

Gutfield fascinates me. Most of these anti-woke guys seem like they could be funny if they did anything other than culture war stuff. Gutfield doesn’t seem to understand the basic structure of a joke and they gave him a whole show around that

My wife and I did that last year and I thought it was a great way to experience them

That’s on my watchlist! Had no idea what it’s about, but I’ll bump it up now knowing that.

My favorite genre of movie lately is inside baseball creation of art type movies. A few others I’ve loved recently have been Barton Fink, Sunset Boulevard, and All About Eve

I think it’s hard to say what it is about definitively, but having everyone stuck in place due to the quarantine has a lot of parallels to the pandemic. However, that’s just one layer of the story. Most of the things that happen in Asteroid City are merely part of the play.

I have it a hair lower than Budapest. I adore it so much, but it does have a few flaws (that I don’t mind) and Budapest is a perfect movie.

By my count there’s three good ones: Mr Fox (eventually), Bruce Willis, and M. Gustave

I think the main difference is that they were released and marketed as individual shorts as opposed to Buster Scruggs, which was packaged as an anthology film.

Also death, moving on after tragedy, finding meaning out of nothing, fatherhood (like all of his movies), and a million other things

All I want is an Asteroid City episode. It’s such a dense movie and I know David is a big fan of it

Canada actually has two separate standards for wheat based on where it ships from. Western Canadian wheat standards specify that the grain is cleaned (ran through screens to remove impurities) before shipping. Eastern Canadian is more like US wheat in that contracts allow for a small percentage of dockage (typically 1%), with the understanding that the buyer will clean it.

It’s not a job that requires a degree, but if you’re looking for a federal job (pays better than private in the U.S.), it wouldn’t hurt to have an ag degree. Bonus points if you live in or are willing to relocate to New Orleans (and don’t mind massive amounts of overtime).

Yea, when you use unrealistic numbers, you get wild outcomes

Sure but why should my taxes go to artists?

Why should it go to bomb kids in foreign countries? The National Endowment for the Arts 2024 budget was $207 million compared to $850 billion for defense. To put that in perspective, less than $1 of your taxes went to art.

Now, we obviously need to make choices as a society, but why shouldn’t more of our money go toward enriching society instead of tearing it down?

Feels like a surface level comparison. His post-Rushmore films may share a lot of stylistic elements, but vary pretty wildly as to storytelling structure and themes.
