She doesn't want to have to tie her laces

rushthatspeaks arrived bearing my birthday present, a T-shirt reading "You Had Me at Garum." It is an ornament to my small but treasured collection of classical T-shirts and also happens to be true.Driving home at the end of the night, I caught a fragment on the radio that turned out to belong to Chalk Talk's "Loveseat" (2022). The song is catchy and the music video cute and queer.
In between these two points, we made dinner and watched nearly the rest of the first season of One Piece (2023–), whose cast continues to amaze me by looking like real people somehow made out of the character designs Rush shows me at the end of every episode. I don't know if it's possible to sweep the Emmys for worldbuilding, but if so, they should.
On the recovered links front, I did not get a chance to post this celebration of the films of Powell and Pressburger in honor of the massive BFI retrospective currently ongoing. I am glad that A Canterbury Tale (1944) has gathered so much love and attention after its neglected beginnings. It still stands a good chance of being my favorite movie.

It is an incredible balance of emotionally affecting and completely gonzo and inventive all the way through. I can't even watch that much television and it's worth it.

Thank you for that celebration of the Archers.

You're welcome. I wish

Such a shame it got so messed about in the cutting room.

Only for the U.S. release! In 1944 in the UK, it confused people off its own bat.
(I have never seen the American edit and I have no regrets.)

Aw, that's great! It deserves it. I liked it a lot when I watched it, and definitely need to rewatch it sometime.

It holds up! I can't imagine tiring of it.

I still think that's great! How was the pseudo-classical worldbuilding and/or the romance?

And so far (two episodes in) I like One Piece too. We got Shonen Jump in print form back in the late 90s, early 2000s, so my kids got started on it *then*. The tall one (the oldest) is a dedicated fan; the others aren't fans of the manga, but I know that at least Little Springtime is enjoying the live-action show.

I'd never heard of the band! It reminded me again why I like listening to college radio whenever I have access to a car.

I came into it with almost zero knowledge of the characters, the world, or the premise, and

What you've written about _The Canterbury Tales_ has made me quite curious to see it.

Thank you! Zingerman's sells colatura di alici, which is directly descended and delicious. We no longer have a bottle in our refrigerator and I mourn it every time we make hamburgers.

The Criterion DVD is in the Minuteman system! I hope you would love it.
