MONSTERS, INC. - I couldn't remember the Nefarious Plot in this movie. I think it's really undersold in the script. Still a really fun and unusual concept though! #movies

The people boarding this plane ahead of me have a whole-ass box of pizza
For those of you who chart the weather by my watch band: I switched from leather to nylon today so now it is warm
I've seen a lot of Cirque du Soleil productions, but tonight I saw LUZIA and it had some of my favorite moments of all of them. Also, the best crowd I've ever shared a Cirque show with.
Darius wrote a great guide to understanding ActivityPub. It's in the form of an explanation of the explanation—clever!
Super Mario World extreme-difficulty ROM hacks are great, but where are our extreme-difficulty ROM hacks of Aladdin for SNES?
ALADDIN (2019) - Will Smith (and Nasim Pedrad!) brought something special to what was otherwise a pretty dull remake. It exceeded my expectations but my expectations were quite low. #movies
JASON BOURNE - It must be impossible to write a screenplay for a mass audience that coherently references modern technology. Glad I'm caught up on the series though. #movies
THE BOURNE LEGACY - Oh Jeremy I think maybe you’re okay. This movie could have used like 60 fewer minutes but I still enjoyed the worldbuilding. #movies
Every time I listen to the last track on Astroworld, I envy an alternate universe where Kanye kept his ego a little more in check and kept making music that sounded like MBDTF
THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM - Huh, this series keeps getting better. I think maybe the next one is the Jeremy Renner one, so. #movies
I would probably pay a couple bucks a month for a device that would allow me to secure my own bike in a Citi Bike dock. This would probably be a disaster for Citi Bike.
It only took a few years to realize my homespun CMS was just a poor reimplementation of Jekyll. Spent the night porting my website…to Jekyll…and now we're here!
THE HANGOVER - Fart noise #movies
WIND RIVER - Probably my favorite Jeremy Renner performance. I think this is the most benevolent possible usage of the White Savior? #movies
AVENGERS: ENDGAME - This movie I think succeeded at doing what it wanted to do! I didn’t enjoy it per se but I feel satisfied having seen it. #movies
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD - I read the book a long time ago and saw the new Broadway production recently; this adaptation was new to me. I prefer Sorkin’s stageplay but there are some excellent performances here too. I blubbered! #movies
US - It’s difficult not to compare this to GET OUT, and I think it’s not as successful, but I also think I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. #movies
COLLATERAL - This is a movie about the virtues of public transportation. I wish they committed more to the fate/coincidence thing; as it was it felt a little too Deus Ex Machina-y for me. #movies
MOON - Hmmm. I liked this but also I wanted it to be more. More of what? I’m not sure. Felt like all the tension was in the first act and the rest just sort of unfurled gradually. Sam Rockwell was really great though! #movies
