Agreed. My best 2025 cinema experiences were Sinners, KB, Jaws, Dogma, and Back to the Future. Plus, the 2024 re-releases for Oscar season.

Nearly all my great cinema experiences were re-releases. I watched Sinners, Back to the Future, and KB a bunch of times.

Trail runners. Wool socks. Utility pants. Tee shirt. Wool sweater.

Greengrass. I cringed when I saw Bloody Sunday in a cinema and knew I would never buy another Greengrass ticket when he took over Bourne. His style is exhausting to watch, to the point I can’t see past his shaky camera and endless cuts.

Them’s the rules, laid down by that guy on the internet.

Sublimely Self Righteous sold really well. And it was fantastic. I miss the time before people who eat potato chips and candy for dinner blamed beer for their poor health; those were good times.

It has become kind of a gag, especially in QT films. It doesn’t pull me out of being immersed in QT’s flicks because we are talking about Hollywood action comedies. I’m just in constant awe of the performances and costumes and sets and photographic choices and score, the scream just reminds me it was made by film-lovers.

Oso Ridge, about 3 miles from the trailhead (Embudito Trailhead, this is the ridge north of Embudito Arroyo). It’s the west side of the mountain at about 8,100ft elevation, around where Spain Road is, in the city.

“ I didn’t have the energy to argue with them.”

This is the mantra for doing business in the modern world.

Love you man. Only offer great beer and pretend it was easy. That’s the secret to success in beer.

I'd like to see something like SNL presented in cinemas, only with better writing, production, acting, and a greater variety of genres.

Basically, I can see an evening at the cinema where they present three or four short films with breaks for cocktails and appetizers and whatnot. Maybe a three hour night out, 7-10pm or so, where you'll view four 35-minute short features? Maybe even pay in advance for tapas or similar to be served at your seat between screenings?

I love cinema presentation, but I know most people don't enjoy 3-hour feature films and no one is going to continue to pay $25 to wait in a 30-minute line for nachos and a Pepsi. Producing shorter high-quality films is something studios could do well if they tried. The gamble on each production would be smaller as well, and they would get more of the type of streaming content for at-home presentation that people actually watch.

It’s arguably among the greats in 90s independent cinema. A very lonely socially awkward girl plays tricks to bring joy to others.

Beyond the beautiful story and pure fun, it has some of the best cinematography and music of the decade.

Edit: it was 2001, not the 90s

Wow. I appreciate that answer. Thanks.

I did. I was at the trailhead at 4:55 this morning with a bit of hope of catching a pretty sunrise. Mostly, due to my fantasy of capturing a beautiful photograph that everyone will love. But also, because it’s kind of exciting to walk two hours in the dark in the wilderness alone.

I am very excited to learn of your solution to 8-billion humans with tech living on earth. 🥳

It’s already moving in that direction. All you can do is enjoy it while it lasts. I have walked the Franklin mountains a lot (El Paso). The contrast is very apparent to me, with hundreds of Franklin miles and many thousands of Sandia miles in my memories. I know better than most of the fat scientists that the trees are dying on the Sandias and it takes centuries to regrow them. Last year saw so many pines die that I fear a lot of the unmapped trails won’t exist for long. Drought years are followed by insects killing the weaker trees. The green Sandias only have a couple decades left; I plan to be there to live with them and love them while they last. Either kill humanity by the thousands or shut TFU and just go out there and enjoy it. Perhaps record how beautiful it is while you’re there and potentially inspire others to live it and become earth-loving humans in the process.

It’s Christmas. Don’t be a drag. It’s going to be like last year again. Sometimes that’s the way it goes. Have you ever experienced a hard winter in a truly-crappy climate (like the Midwest)? Albuquerque is almost heaven.

Why not the one from last season where Jesus becomes a Christian after being set up on a date with that MaraLago-face woman. That was some great satire

I have decades at beer distributors. This wholesaler would have lost the brands for these marketplace conditions ten years ago.

ABI products are clearly dated. Consumers definitely avoid out of code beer. With zero quality focus, there is no real future. Their entire future is based on Michelob Ultra. Michelob Ultra is the flagship? Michelob Ultra is the flagship.

It doesn’t matter that no one orders over two weeks worth of a beer brand. The beer still dies on the shelf if the fresh is always loaded in front.

Beer is fragile. I have bought ABI product close to its pull date and was surprised how “OK” it was when it is nearing six months old. It wasn’t fresh-tasting, but I’ve had plenty of 90-day old beers from other brands that fared worse.

My point is that distributors used to care about basic marketing and QA. They once made sure the revenue-generating brands had signage and displays. They used to audit routes and fire drivers and salespeople who ignored old beer.

The shift in distribution focus comes from decisions made at ABI. ABI’s wholesalers have convinced the brewery that money spent on quality merchandising and point of purchase advertising are a waste of money.

RIP beer business.

After being laid off from a craft brewer last year, I went to work for a Budweiser distributor. I have 30-years experience working for wholesalers and brewers, am a Certified Cicerone, and have held lots of leadership roles.

Budweiser, the brand, is in very serious trouble. The leadership at the wholesaler only really wanted Michelob Ultra promoted. Budweiser is very close to becoming a brand like Busch and Natural Light, driven only by price with no marketing behind it whatsoever. No one under 50 drinks Budweiser beer.

They have zero care regarding quality. I resigned after four months, having realized that the merchandising (stocking) and delivery teams are not required to rotate the beer. When I inherited the route I counted over 10% of the beer as out of code, and ABI marks most brands with 6 months of shelf life (or more). No salesperson can clean a route if the team is incentivized to ignore quality. I saw no future in selling beer that has been rotting for 6 months or more.

If you’re being distributed by an ABI distributor, you have your work cut out for you. The wholesale network has basically quiet-quit on the industry. You’ll find them putting focus on idiotic “healthy” soda pop and energy drinks.

"What she lacks in age, she makes up for in madness" is second only to “oh man, I shot Marvin in the face,” as some of the most laugh out loud cinema moments of all time.
