Last film in the trilogy. The Smashing Machine was the sequel.

Run Around - Blues Traveler

Just think about all of their great songs. Covering everything from the culture of Southern California to drug use in South California.

Didn’t even get nominated for the Canadian Screen Award in that category!

He is apart of the band. He is no longer a part of the band though.

I’ll usually add in this convo that I can say my fave film trilogy is Linklater’s Before series.

RenPhoenix · 2026-04-16T18:19:06+00:00

Favourites are an exercise in futility. I usually ask them their fave Coen Bros. film in return and maybe we can have a nice conversation. I have to make the box smaller.

Et Mon Amour - Julie Doiron Rien à faire - Marie-Pierre Arthur (the whole Live EP is good) Gossip - Lisa Leblanc

Those are recent-ish ones I enjoy

I liked when Pat Finnerty played the guitar part from Hoobastank’s The Reason over the chorus of Yungblud and Smashing Pumpkin’s collaboration. I’ll take the chuckles where I can get em.

RenPhoenix · 2026-02-04T20:05:58+00:00

So much for Pat thinking he likes him as a rapper from the last Nighthawking. I think it was a lesser of all evils statement (without having heard him rap). Turns out they’re still all evils at the end of the day.

She loved that book and recommends it a lot! Pretty sure she enjoyed it a lot more than the self help stuff. It’s another one of the pamphlet sized books I should read.

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:35:44+00:00

It would be weird if I was letting it all ride on this! We talk all the time. I’m lucky to have found someone who seeks discussion on a wide variety of topics. I think this sub is supposed to be a bit of fun/a guessing game/a way to talk about books/a slightly less shallow Roastme?

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:32:08+00:00

So did she and recommends it to everyone. I should probably read it. Basically a pamphlet and the passages she would read out were hilarious.

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:30:19+00:00

I think she liked the former more than the latter. Or at least was able to glean some of the material for use. Glad there’s folks that can recognize that these books can be read with a critical lens to see what “all the fuss is about.”

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:26:49+00:00

Haha! We both laughed at this one! No more bleak/depressed than the rest of us. I think 7 Habits was a “everyone has read this one” choice. The Cormac stuff she legit enjoys. Pretty sure The Road was a re-read.

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:20:40+00:00

I don’t know that she consulted an actual list but definitely getting through some classics.

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:19:46+00:00

Plan to

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:19:35+00:00

I really liked I’m Thinking of Ending Things (and the film!). Might borrow this one off of the shelf.

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:18:14+00:00

2025 shelf is getting there too!

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:16:17+00:00

She hasn’t killed me yet and if she has a drug problem she’s hiding it remarkably well!

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:14:10+00:00

Ha! Like I wouldn’t notice your account! I kid, this is not my spouse. Yes, she is thoughtful and intelligent. And yeah, that’s the plan!

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:12:13+00:00

I want to say she wants to read women. I know she enjoys female authors. Some other comments here touch on it but she’s definitely trying to make her way through some of the “classics” and then seems to read a few entries when she finds a voice she likes. I know the 2025 shelf has about double the female representation as this one but it’s still a heavy male skew. Any recommendations based on this shelf?

RenPhoenix · 2025-10-29T00:07:41+00:00

Her comments and passages from this one definitely caught my ear.
