  Hot Dr Pepper 2

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 10 Oct 2023

  I came across "Hot Dr Pepper" (2012) [watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIRnM6s4GNo&t=27s] on Tumblr dot com probably in 2018 or so. I can't remember exactly when it was, it was probably late at night as I scroll that hellsite before hitting the hay, but I'll tell you what, I watched that video once and chuckled, then I watched it again, and again, then I showed it to everyone I know. The amount of people that associate me with Hot Dr Pepper (and…

  Party Girl 1995

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Oct 2021 1

  I've been a librarian for 5+ years and I'm only just seeing this movie now. It came on my radar as I was preparing for a podcast episode, Librarianship in the Talkies, for a podcast called 027 in the 802. I found myself getting emotional over this movie at a certain scene where Mary tells Mustafa that she's not good at anything. It's actually all the little things she's good at that make her a perfect librarian. She has people…

  Protecting the King 2007

  ★ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  I always think it's really interesting how out of the picture Dee and her kids are from Elvis's story. I'm glad this exists but it was very bad (I'm so sorry). The music was horrible and it just looked bad. Found at a Goodwill so what did I expect?

  I love you, Jessie Buckley.

  James Acaster: Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 2020

  ★★★★★ Watched 17 Dec 2020

  This show means a whole lot to me. In March of 2019 I travelled over 900 miles to see the show twice at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington, Indiana. It was two months after I got myself into therapy for the first time. My workplace had flooded Dec 2018 and I was in a really dark place mentally. Dealing with my workplace really shook me and I basically experienced dark feelings that I hadn't dealt with for 8 years. I…

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Nov 2024

  My aunt compared this to a Grimm fairytale, which I think is apt. I love what it says about how we treat ourselves. Yes, there is the obvious commentary on youth and beauty (this movie really loves butts) but what stands out to me is really the commentary of how we treat ourselves (and given the opportunity of seeing ourseves from an out of body place how we'd potentially act) and the disrespect for balance we have. Loved how this was filmed and the use of food. They just had too much fun that third act. Oscar for Demi Moore now.
