Tim’s character progression is so depressing

The sheer length of the show is great because we’ve seen Tim go from overconfident young-ish guy to a walking midlife crisis to an old man desperately trying to project youthful vigor and success when he has neither. You get the sense from the most recent Oscar special that he’s barely holding it together and knows he’s a total failure. It’s dark stuff but incredibly funny.

Hey I’m trying to remember a bit or clip where Tim has a band playing for him and he gets jealous as the guitar and saxaphone player start soloing and taking the spotlight.

I can’t find it online I don’t remember the context. It must have been an on cinema party.

[meta] On Cinema Family playlist?

Since everyone here clearly has impeccable taste, I wanna make a sort of playlist game to see what everyone's into (and to collect more tunes for my music hoard).

Spotify recently came out with that "Your All-Time Top Songs" playlist, so to make this easy, just slide the top 5 tracks from that playlist onto this one. 5 tracks to represent each bag of popcorn that is High Fidelity (dir. by Stephen Frears; starring John Cusack, Iben Hjejle, and Todd Louiso).

Here's the link to the collaborative playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4as0VXXkYqw9XVTlHXvz6A?si=d9a5e81682af4188&pt=6c9b795fa297254554ae716fc0c268d4

New Format for Chronicling Reviews

I recently discovered these "Gregg Ruled" steno pads. I just knew, when I saw the line down the middle of its pages, it was designed as the perfect format for listing a movie's pros and cons before giving out a true and fair bag rating. I bought a few hundred and went to work.

The depicted book is for movies starting with Su to Te. Check out my first review in this book—Super Mario Bros "The Movie" from 1993! I'll be happy to share more reviews as I work on the book.

Btw, anyone know if Gregg authorized or even created this steno format? If not, he might think about suing.

In 1972, Charlie Chaplin returned to the U.S. after years of exile and received the longest standing ovation in Oscar history, lasting about 12 minutes.

Anyone excited for the new Brigands of Rattlecreek remake?

I hope they keep the western energy, while updating it with actor like Matthew Mcaughney and Peter Pascal

Boy was bullied for wearing homemade University of Tennessee t shirt, so they made it their own official design.

In 2019, an elementary school student in Altamonte Springs, Florida wanted to take part in “College Colors Day” and support his favorite team, the University of Tennessee Volunteers. Since he didn’t own any official merch, he hand drew the “U.T.” logo on a piece of paper and pinned it to a plain orange shirt.

His teacher, Laura Snyder, said he was excited to show it off that morning, but by lunchtime some classmates mocked the homemade design, leaving him heartbroken and in tears.

Wanting to cheer him up, Snyder shared the story online hoping someone connected to the university might send him a small gift. Instead, the story went viral. Thousands of Tennessee fans rallied behind the student, and the university responded by sending him a huge box of official gear.

Then they went even further.

The University of Tennessee turned the boy’s exact hand drawn design into an official t shirt sold by the school, with proceeds supporting anti bullying efforts. Demand became so massive that the university’s online store reportedly crashed from the flood of orders.

What started as a moment of bullying turned into a story celebrated across the country, with thousands of people proudly wearing the young fan’s design.
