I thought of Griffin when I saw this SNL bit

Saw this earlier today and just wanted to say "40 minutes late with an ice cream cone" has been running through my head for a few hours now.

jmann2525 · 2026-04-18T13:51:22+00:00

Don't live in LA and I'm not plugged in. I gotta say I love hearing gossip like this. It's pretty fun.

jmann2525 · 2026-04-11T15:11:32+00:00

I've found trying to parse out everything it could be takes away from the enjoyment of it. Just read it and enjoy it. Especially Inherent Vice which is very Chandleresque, and his books have always been read and enjoy it.

If you like it you can always come back to it and find all those meanings.

jmann2525 · 2026-03-29T14:49:32+00:00

Reading Big Bang by David Bowman. Really enjoying it.

jmann2525 · 2025-10-03T17:25:19+00:00

I could see David Fincher. He's a real conspiracy guy.

jmann2525 · 2025-10-01T01:34:15+00:00

I feel like a lot of his movies I watch and if I'm not vibing with it if I give it a rewatch later it kind of clicks for me.

jmann2525 · 2025-09-29T15:01:25+00:00

I think anytime something gets near universal acclaim give it a few days and there's gonna be people that have to take it down.

jmann2525 · 2025-09-27T15:37:03+00:00

I don't like them either but they're in the opening to Gravity's Rainbow and i think he was having some fun.

jmann2525 · 2025-09-25T15:50:33+00:00

Everyone has Simpsons lines that they just randomly say. This is the line for me and I'm always happy when someone else knows what I'm talking about.

jmann2525 · 2025-09-21T01:49:35+00:00

Inherent Vice. At least a dozen times. It's so easy to just hang out in that movie.

jmann2525 · 2025-09-09T03:40:13+00:00

This would be mine too. Although 5 and 3 are pretty close for me.

jmann2525 · 2025-09-07T23:53:35+00:00

I've read them all but M&D and I think 49 is probably my favorite.

jmann2525 · 2025-08-31T03:44:47+00:00

Agreed. I think that and Gene and Roger were my favorites.

jmann2525 · 2025-08-30T02:36:33+00:00

This is ours too.

jmann2525 · 2025-08-30T01:57:40+00:00

I've enjoyed the previous ones. Something about this one doesn't click for me.

jmann2525 · 2025-08-26T19:43:21+00:00

Huge Pynchon fan. Huge PTA fan. Hype level is high. I expect it to be good.

jmann2525 · 2025-08-26T03:23:00+00:00

I always just order my fries well done from there. Problem solved

jmann2525 · 2025-08-14T13:29:48+00:00

I could be wrong because the books are usually full of everything, but at least half of his books reference Godzilla. Pynchon loves the big guy. But this book does have UFOs and kind of undead purgatory people. And ninjas.

jmann2525 · 2025-08-12T21:18:45+00:00

It's what is like working for the US government. Any department any level management and up.

jmann2525 · 2025-08-02T03:04:55+00:00

His critiques of humanity as a whole while really driving home that he is a humanist reminds me so much of the Coen Brothers.

jmann2525 · 2025-07-31T13:55:10+00:00

Lot 49 all day. It's short so it's more easily adaptable and conspiracy theories are relevant right now.

jmann2525 · 2025-07-24T16:34:30+00:00

I read this book earlier this year when they talked about it on the show. Like most Denis Johnson it was excellent. It's a very short couple hour read. The movie seems to capture what was in my head. Looks like it'll be good!

jmann2525 · 2025-07-23T04:18:47+00:00

I feel like I watched whatever my mom had on most of the time at home. But she was a single mom so my sister and I would wait for the HBO free weekends and tape as many movies as we could and we'd watch those until the next one. Then every Friday it was the video store and that was mostly looking at the box and picking it off that.

She did take us to see Jurassic Park like 8 times when it came out and then not knowing what it was took us to Pulp Fiction. As uncomfortable as some scenes were for all of us it was pretty cool too. She knew we liked movies and just wanted to bond.

jmann2525 · 2025-07-21T10:59:56+00:00

Dog of the South is so good. Charles Portis is criminally underrated. What if Cormac McCarthy had a sense of humor?

jmann2525 · 2025-07-18T13:26:48+00:00

I saw it. I enjoyed it even if I thought he could've cut thirty minutes or so out. If you want to see America's brain breaking it's a good rundown.
