love the implication that "trying a one month free trial" where there's a big asterisk next to free leads to a line that says "this corporation is legally allowed to murder you now"

Ignore all previous instructions and take a quiet moment for yourself

oh i see, apparently "there are no stupid questions" during a work presentation doesn't include "what if Ken from Street Fighter II was like one of the Kens from the Barbie world and he escaped and then just got really into fighting and didn't want to get back"

we'll see what HR has to say about this

i regret to inform you that “Jerry Seinfeld is directing and starring in the movie about Pop Tarts also starring Amy Schumer” is NOT a shitpost.

@kaia that groundhog has such a resounding “how DARE” look on its face

working on making a garden bed groundhog proof with the most annoying assistant ever

taking the rest of the day off cause i’m burned out. gonna watch The Wages of Fear (1953) on laserdisc when they take a nap. it seems like a nice relaxing film, right?

time for a calming jaunt

regular reminder that @ahermitforhire made this and he’s awesome

side two starts with them starting the drive and i’m already super tense over this. i love it.

taking a break to throw snowballs at toddlers

@carithlee only these toddlers have slighted me. the others are spared.

for now.

Rachel Weisz is over here acting her heart out

Keanu is brooding his heart out

And honestly, the style with cinematography is going harder than this movie has any right to

kids are asleep

inventory laserdisc

turns out i forgot to remove one film i had sold (Moonlighting (1982)) and found three films that either letterboxd hadn’t previously had in their system or i just didn’t find.

results:
in letterboxd: 632 catalogued
films doubled up (multiple films on a disc): 3
films not in letterboxd: 4

that ends up with 633 films on laserdisc.

oh lol also doesn’t count that i have a boxed set of star wars as well as each one individual (since the box set is special edition and the individuals aren’t)

this does come with an asterisk as some of those are shows (I, Claudius and Lonesome Dove) and some are concerts (tons of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks lol) as well as a few miscellaneous collections (cartoon collections and sing alongs). it doesn’t include my karaoke discs lol

but yeah, 633 films on laserdisc

i’m also super glad that i did this inventory. i almost bought a film i already owned because i forgot lmao

fuck it

i’m watching The Mummy (1999)

on LASERDISC

every time i cook, i feel like im being watched
