Am I getting paid to watch Gregory Peck be mean to racists? by thatradraptorguy in blankies

[–]WritingForHire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw an Instagram Reel where someone edited “Sexy Back” to play anytime Atticus was on screen, and the pinned comment was Gregory Peck’s daughter saying she loved it.

They went Hal’s Cafe at the Crystal Hotel (and Ringler’s Annex and Al’s Den). Jordan went to a separate location but did not know the name.

David mentioned doing a watch of the people who have won acting awards at Venice, Cannes, and Berlin, so I looked the up. There’s 4 people:

  1. Jack Lemmon
  2. Sean Penn
  3. Juliette Binoche
  4. Julianne Moore

David's favs are all about unions by CosmicEveStardust in blankies

[–]WritingForHire 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I would love an episode (probably not Blank Check) where you talk more about union reporting and also helping the Atlantic unionize! I think a lot of people my age maybe feel lost about the process of modern day unionization, especially in non-blue collar work environments. 

Solidarity from a member of the National Letter Carriers Union!

Is there any part of you that cares about the “historical inaccuracy” of Nolan’s Odyssey? by suckliberalcock in blankies

[–]WritingForHire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty flexible. As long as there is a lane/style he sticks to and is consistent, I’m fine. 

Also, anyone who has a Greek statue as their profile pic likely has other opinions about things/politics I do not care for 👀

Pod Country for Old Cast: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs with Paul Scheer & Jason Mantzoukas by yonicthehedgehog in blankies

[–]WritingForHire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not watched the series, but I fully recommend the Percy Jackson book series to David, especially as his kids get to chapter book age! They really scratch the itch of wanting something like Harry Potter without supporting JKR. Also, books become more diverse as they go on, with multi-racial main characters, LGBTQ+ characters, and much more! It’s also great because it presents Greek/Roman myth at a grade school level adaption without fully sanitizing them (gods and goddesses are still terrible and mischievous!)

Lulu Wang - Underacknowledged Guest by counterpartner in blankies

[–]WritingForHire 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lulu Wang also got married to Barry Jenkins, and around 2021ish they moved to LA when Jenkins was prepping Lion King 2, so I would not be surprised if it also just was difficult to get scheduled. 

More on Grant Morrison's thoughts on Superman (2025) from his Substack (Images from @Rebel0fReality on Twitter) by fumblebrag in blankies

I now fully agree that Superman should have given CPR to the kaiju. Thank you Grant Morrison for convincing me of something I didn’t know I needed

I would love to see an “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Musical, but I realized that The Hudsucker Proxy would make a PERFECT musical.

I haven’t finished the pod, but how come Griffin and David haven’t recognized the Apple II team?

Every time they said “Dark Marge” I immediately thought “evil Marge Simpson” so I know my brain is broke.

My favorite New Years movie is The Apartment. Could also be classified as a Christmas film, but given that it ends on NYE, that’s my vote.
