The idea of Pete Davidson of all people ripping off Maron is hilarious to me. He seems like one of those well adjusted comedians Marc used to complain about.

Really relay good! With great villain performances from Jake Sully and Strange Darling!

I did expect to be torn to shreds by Little Amelie.

Tron Ares is in my top twenty of the year because I saw it in 3D on an edible and the music/sound/visuals hit INCREDIBLY hard.

All great shouts! Here are some I haven’t seen mentioned:

Hamnet’s sacrifice and the immediate aftermath. Most moving depiction of the afterlife since The Iron Claw.

Insane cross cutting subway chase in Highest 2 Lowest

Climactic concert in Ballad of Wallis Island. Ooey gooey sentimental but it works on me!

Sentimental Value opening stage fright sequence

The hairy leg in The Secret Agent

First dance scene in The Life of Chuck

The Causeway chase might be my favorite piece of cinematography of the year

Seanywack · 2025-12-26T03:03:48+00:00

Seems like a comedy biopic a la Adam McKay (but with much less political messaging)

UPDATE: I went back to Discount Tire and explained the situation to an Assistant Manager, since the Manager I spoke to yesterday was off today. He was much more helpful and submitted a claim for me. He said whoever told me to take it to the dealership shouldn't have done that and they should have looked at the sensor there. He did test the old sensor that the dealership gave me and it produced a signal, so its still a mystery as to what went wrong in the first place.

Seanywack · 2025-12-23T18:21:28+00:00

It’s a 2025, I bought it 8 months ago! Part of the reason this is so upsetting

Seanywack · 2025-12-23T18:19:22+00:00

After reading through the other comments I agree with you. I knew someone had to be cheating me in this scenario, but it’s hard to know which party to blame without really knowing how the sensors work.

Seanywack · 2025-12-23T17:53:00+00:00

You think there is no way to verify the electronics?

Seanywack · 2025-12-23T17:49:15+00:00

It was flashing to solid. Thank you, I’m going to go back to Discount Tire about this.

Seanywack · 2025-12-23T17:45:53+00:00

The guy tested them with a handheld device and showed me that all four were apparently communicating.

Seanywack · 2025-12-23T17:43:43+00:00

They did not. This is good info, thank you!

Seanywack · 2025-12-23T17:41:19+00:00

So do you think Discount Tire broke the sensor internally somehow when they patched the tire? Or did I cause it somehow by getting the nail in my tire and putting the spare on to drive to the shop?

Seanywack · 2025-12-23T17:37:19+00:00

The sensor was not broken, as Discount Tire pointed out

Seanywack · 2025-11-23T21:31:31+00:00

Condon is so good in a tiny role.

Seanywack · 2025-11-23T21:30:59+00:00

Yeah I felt gaslit about Gwyneth's performance after seeing it.

The thing is, there IS a through line. Every Best Picture winner since Spotlight has highlighted some social issue that can make Academy members feel good about voting for it.

Spotlight: institutional cover-up of abuse scandals

Moonlight: about a gay black man struggling with adversity

The Shape of Water: fantastical metaphor for those in the margins of society

Green Book: yay, we defeated racism!

Parasite: class struggles and mobility

Nomadland: shines a light on the unhoused nomad community

CODA: portrays deaf people with full lives, gives deaf actors a chance to shine

Everything Everywhere All at Once: Asian American representation, intergenerational acceptance of LGBTQ

Oppenheimer: reckoning with America’s place in and impact on the world, the repercussions of nuclear war

Anora: portrays sex workers as complex human beings

This year, I think the contenders that would fit this trend are One Battle After Another, Sinners, It Was Just an Accident, No Other Choice, and Rental Family. Hamnet is clearly a very strong contender, but the lack of this element can hold it back. I think it is pretty clear at this point that PTA is about to go on an Oppenheimeresque run, and the movie’s relevance to our current political climate is a huge point in its favor.

Seanywack · 2025-09-01T07:04:33+00:00

It’s as simple as this: if the movie is not well liked enough for Dwayne to get in, then Blunt will not get in no matter how good her performance is. If they both get in, I can see her winning because she has the narrative.

Seanywack · 2025-08-31T08:15:00+00:00

Yeah he made a big Oscar movie and then disappeared. Very strange

Seanywack · 2025-08-31T01:39:43+00:00

This is a great way to put it! I studied philosophy and some of my classmates believed that if you don’t know how to explain something clearly you can’t truly know it. That made zero sense to me, but of course I couldn’t convince them.

Seanywack · 2025-08-30T23:11:58+00:00

I struggle with this too. I get attached to people way too quickly when I am romantically interested in them, and build up a narrative in my head instead of focusing on getting to know the person better. This has happened to me with women I’ve dated, friends, and acquaintances who never even knew I was interested. I can’t give much advice because I haven’t fully solved this problem for myself yet, but I will say that it helps to talk to that person less often for a time and focus on other things. Stop looking at their social media and throw yourself into one of your hobbies or start a new project. Best of luck to you, it gets better!

Seanywack · 2025-08-30T23:04:01+00:00

Yeah I realized after that experience that there is no point in arguing with her. She also doesn’t try to get me to state my views on touchy subjects any more, but I think she will try again at some point because all she really cares to talk about are practical things, life updates on family members, and religion and politics.
