@oldmovieactress Watching Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly when I was younger made me want to become a dancer. But I was too lazy.

Fred Astaire once said that Rita Hayworth was his favourite dance partner. You can see why..

@learning_yohei I've never heard about it.

Is it true that Americans and Brits argue over how to pronounce “water”? 🇺🇸🇬🇧😳

@kenzietuff I wouldn't mind a show if it dealt with background characters like the Patel twins, the Bones family, Cedric Diggory, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, etc. Make Harry, Ron, and Hermoine background characters.

I have a bias as a millennial who attended book releases, but I just don’t understand the need to remake Harry Potter at all. I’ve seen people say oh it’s for the new generation but… just read the books and watch the existing media. You’ll never create that magic again, why try?

@SandyofCthulhu Too much reliance on CGI and now on AI.

We had some pretty great effects as far back as 1968. I think movies have gotten fat, lazy, and sloppy.

@CodifyBaseball So? There were other years with no-hitters. 2005 and 2000 are just 2 other examples.

MLB Games During Which A Team Had No Hits: 2006 - 2 2007 - 3 2008 - 3 2009 - 2 2010 - 5 2011 - 3 2012 - 7 2013 - 3 2014 - 5 2015 - 7 2016 - 1 2017 - 1 2018 - 3 2019 - 4 2020 - 2 2021 - 11 2022 - 4 2023 - 4 2024 - 4 2025 - 0

@SoveyX I just bought 2 pounds of strawberries on sale for $2.99 yesterday. Plus, I got a 10% senior discount on top of it.

“Maybe it’s just inflation but these strawberries were $19 each.” Sis, that’s not inflation. You are filthy rich and are from a weird planet called “Los Angeles.” I’ve never paid $19 for an entire pack of strawberries. She paid $500 for this. We don’t live in the same world.

@SoveyX @JINVISIBLEWOMAN There are plenty of other adjectives that are actual real words.

@JINVISIBLEWOMAN I need to use this to stay out of trouble!

@RickyDoggin I've had worse jobs.

How would you like to do this all day??

@w_terrence His wife never travels? She doesn't have a passport or REAL ID? I don't believe it. Not for a second.

Joe Scarborough: “My wife lost her birth certificate so she won’t be able to vote. We can’t find it.” He says the SAVE Act could get his wife, Mika, “kicked off the voter rolls” over not having the original document.

@khnh80044 No, we did not all have a crush on her.

Every male who was a teenager in the 70’s knows this is Olivia Newton John! We all had a crush on her!❤️

@BuzzPatterson I preferred the Sports Illustrated baseball game. My neighbor and I played whole seasons of it.

How many other boys grew up playing Strat-O-Matic baseball? 🙋‍♂️

@TheAliceSmith He already wrote 2 prequels: The Hobbit, and the Silmarillion.

There can be no sequel or prequel or expanded universe to The Lord of the Rings since its one and only author is dead.

@SandyofCthulhu I wouldn't mind a Hogwarts show, but I wouldn't want it focused on the main characters. There are so many interesting minor characters that could have their backstories filled in.

I'm going to again pitch the idea thatt Rowling's wizarding world has SO MANY INTERESTING PLACES TO SET STORIES. WE DON'T NEED HOGWARTS. Look - imagine a series set in Durmstrang, an school in which the headmaster literally was a Death Eater and was murdered for betraying the cult. The adventures would be fabulous. Also bear in mind that they need to be constantly bedeviled and enchanted by the wicked witches of Beauxbatons. I know in the books Durmstrang & Beauxbatons aren't all-boy or all-girl but it could make the series super interesting particularly because all the school dances and festivals they'd have to mix, and the general separation would lead to the teenagers being even more socially clumsy than the idiots at Hogwarts which would be hilarious.

@SoveyX I live with what God gave me. Also, baldness often indicates more testosterone.

Ever notice how almost no one in Hollywood is bald? This is why. Some of these results actually look pretty good. A lot of men look good bald, but no shade at all if someone wants to get this done. Would you ever consider hair replacement?

@ILoveToTalkFilm That was the movie that made me crush on Mary Steenbergen.

“Ninety years ago I was a freak. Today I'm an amateur.” Time After Time

@SandyofCthulhu Even though we're the first (and still only) country that's landed a man on the moon, I won't belittle the USSR's achievements in space. The amount of information they gathered on Venus cleverly using inadequate equipment is actually impressive. Soyuz is still in use, also.

"I was ahead the whole race until the end."

@PulpLibrarian I thought it was brilliant and way before its time.

Wizards and Warriors (1983). Comedy, fantasy and adventure in a sword and sorcery style directed by Bill Bixby, that pretty much went unnoticed on CBS and only lasted for eight episodes. Jeff Conaway (Kenickie from Grease) is good guy Prince Erik, battling neighbouring rotter Duncan Regehr as Prince Dirk. Julia Duffy is the rather spoilt Princess Ariel. Expect unicorns, glamorous witches, scheming wizards and regular sword fights.

@ChrisMartzWX I've also commented to him many times that the US is not, and has never been, a democracy.

European “conservatives” are by and large not conservative by any measurable metric. Their political center is to the left of the Democratic Party here in the United States.

@brendan_cubs I would rather have him stay a contact hitter. Swanson's BA dropped when he started pretending he was a power hitter. I don't want to see the same thing happen to Hoerner.

"There’s power in there," Cubs batting coach Dustin Kelly said of Nico Hoerner. "‘If you watch [him], there’s plenty of power in there." Here are all 36 of his career home runs. It’ll be fascinating to see if he starts showing a bit more pop this season.

@Nerdcognito Personally, as a DM, I like the backstory. It allows me to make the experience more personal for the players and also gives me ideas for plot points that I might otherwise not have thought about. I don't allow outrageous or Anime themed backstories.

We don't like to say "we told you so".. The 'No Backstory' trend proves some modern players are realizing what Classic Gaming knew all along: ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME AT THE TABLE WRITES THE STORY, NOT THE PLAYER. Backstory obsession is always a mistake. Gatekeeping is good!
