Or Wonderfalls, or Pushing Daisies, or basically anything Bryan Fuller does.

It drives me nuts that people frequently leave out the words "to be" when talking. For example, they will say something like, "the car needs washed." No, either the car needs to be washed, or it needs washing.

I do something a bit like this. I'll pick a theme (animals, food, places, etc) and then go through the alphabet one letter at a time and something from the theme that starts with that letter. Alternatively, I'll pick a letter and just think of as many different words as I can that start with that letter. Those work for me most of the time!

Just one on each end.

Develop my current podcast further, as well as work on at least 1 or 2 other podcast ideas I have. So many great ideas, so little time.

"Because we can."

This list makes me wish I were still a DJ at my community radio station. I love the idea of doing an entire hour that's just different covers of this song with no explanation.

This was "breaking news." Fuck me.

In Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever, the scene where they go over to someone's house and pretend to worship their refrigerator doesn't further the plot or character development in any way.

I completely agree about Ethan Frome, but perhaps you'll like this video, which cracked me the hell up.

Two chapters, IIRC.

Also, stuff like this is often purchased not to drink, but as an investment.

There are dozens of us!

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but IIRC, the film isn't saying the Christian Jesus we all know about is immortal, but that this character in the film who is immortal (and a white dude, BTW) was assumed to be the son of God because people 2,000 years ago found out he was immortal and had no other explanation.

ETA: Looks like I remembered reasonably well. Here's the scene in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bXtdr5BI74

I've always assumed this was faked, but based on this article, it really happened.

The Third Man has that fantastic zither theme.

I wish Too Good To Go was in use in my city. My friend lives in Oakland and she uses it all the time. She said it's a bit hit-or-miss, though. She's shown up at some places and they're like, "here's a bag, fit it up with whatever and we'll charge you $n for it." Once it was a shelf of stuff and they said she could as much stuff as she wanted from the shelf for the same price. Once when I was visiting her, we got a huge bag of baked goods. If nothing else, it can help familiarize you with areas and businesses you may not have come across otherwise.

I've been enjoying using both of these, and they make a great pairing. Go for a walk, check out the streets!

Who comes up with this shit?

Cinema Paradiso

Honorable mentions for Galaxy Quest and Heist.
