Ranking the documentaries I've seen so far this year:

 

1. WYBMN - 10/10

2. Three Identical Stranger - 8/10

3. Free Solo - 8/10

 

I don't think I had ever seen a documentary film before in theaters but just this year alone, I've managed to see three of them.

ughhh,.... generally guessing, you have to get through all of this^ to complete like 0.35 of a general physics bachelors degree.  but don't think you need to be inside out on relativity/quantum but just go through everything that is there for general bachelors. … 

the wording and continuation with the puzzles just destroys attention, and the puzzle's completion seems as stiff as trying to make yourself fly

My grandfather passed away today. I don't know much about the details right now but based on what my mom told me over the phone it was peaceful. He had been having health problems for a while but this was very unexpected. My family just saw him last weekend when he was doing fine while I was off at college. It's just devastating to me that I didn't get that last chance to see him

So remember in March when Starbucks told me there were too many people so they couldn't hire me?

 

Well thanks, Hurricane Michael. At least I can save up some money to leave, and who knows, maybe I'll be IT Supervisor or whatever for the South region in a while. The manager was like "Oh, you! I don't even have to interview you I'll just push everything through again and you can train next week."

 

Yay health insurance!

 

& a 30% discount so I can buy mugs cheap >:D

Freakin Star Is Born has 417 reviews up on RT. That's gotta be some kind of record right? Force Awakens didn't even hit 400

Bohemian Rhapsody might be the most-Walk Hard movie ever made. I had to keep myself from laughing after the opening credits. HOWEVER, I enjoyed the film quite a bit. It's wildly inaccurate but is a fun celebration of Freddie Mercury and Queen, so this kind of worked for me?

It's a film rescued from total mediocrity on the strength of its lead performance imo. Legit believe Malek could've been a contender for the win with a much stronger movie surrounding him.

It's weird: Bohemian Rhapsody ticks all the boxes of the biopic bait that appeals to the Academy, yet it basically failed critically. That's always a recipe for no nomination, and Malek would have been out of the running for a nomination if this movie wasn't so fucking massive at the box office. You can still make the argument he's ahead of Gosling considering BR made more in its OW than First Man will in its entire run.
