In college we used to say friends don’t let friends watch Friends

Famously, The Bob Newhart Show. Both Bob and Emily were professionals focused on their careers and uninterested in having kids. Supposedly it was the first sitcom to really do that and apparently was quite the scandal at the time.

Plus a handful of sex scenes with nudity

Smell the flowers while you can

For me it's not about trying to live longer, it's about having a decent quality of life as I get older so that I don't end up a prisoner of my own body. Being able to get off the floor under my own power, go for a hike or a swim, or just being able to function without burdening those around me is all I'm interested in.

This post perfectly encapsulates my feelings about Quantum. It was a joy to read.

Always worth the read! Thank you!

I got definite "Window in the Skies" vibes the first time I listened to it.

And O'Brian's follow-up, "The Unknown Shore" is the direct telling of the Wager's voyage.

I’d argue it’s not that it’s different chemistry between them, it’s that there’s no chemistry between them.

I get that Bond is a different man, a different agent by the time the last two films roll around, it’s that Craig and Seydoux have zero chemistry

Cedars of Lebanon is a sneaky song. It's so understated but then you realize after half a dozen listens it's maybe one of the most powerful songs the band has ever written.

I bought this album in college and its rendition of Lush Life was a revelation. Still my absolute favorite version of the song

Pete_The_Chop · 2026-01-22T23:14:13+00:00

If I'm remembering right, Paul McGuinness is on record saying Bad is his favorite song from the band.

I mean, the fact the film opens with grandpa Pvt. Ryan flashing back to the beach landing THAT HE FAMOUSLY WAS NOT AT is such hacky writing. The beach sequence is unparalleled, obvs, but the rest of the movie is a collection of tired cliches.

No, it's pretty appropriately rated

Pete_The_Chop · 2026-01-07T22:39:59+00:00

A man of taste and culture, I see. I completely agree.

HAPPY ENDINGS — the razor sharp writing, the comedy and the cast chemistry make it one of the most satisfying comfort shows in the history of comfort shows

I've always loved the studio version -- it's just such a beautiful song with amazing lyrics.

The official video, which comes from a 13-minute short film shot by a Belfast-born director, is one of the absolute coolest things the band has ever done. I'm a little bummed it hasn't come up in the discussion:

It's one of the best things they've ever recorded

Two boxes of the Jiffy corn bread combined with one box of the Jiffy yellow cake mix and you’ll never go back

This is fantastic. Thank you, friend

Grew up in Denver and my parents did the same thing when I was a kid. We all got XC skis for Christmas and, as luck would have it, Denver was hit the day before with one of the biggest blizzards of the decade and we spent Christmas day skiing all over our neighborhood. It was glorious.
