I think Star Wars is a great example of an original film that's endlessly familiar. It took so many old fantasy tropes, western tropes, war movie tropes, a hefty dose of Kurosawa, and made something that almost anyone can relate to while still being completely alien.

Exactly. I'd have no problem if my wife wants to partake in a little extra-marital cum play. Just please, tell me.

No, I wouldn't want anyone to steal from me so why would I want to steal from anyone else?

Paying for stuff is preferable

For some reason, half the time I try to swipe "because" it comes out as "beefsteak". No idea why and it's really annoying but I can't remove beefsteak from my swiftkey dictionary because I love tomatoes.

A basic set of tools. Car jack, tire iron, jumper cables. Rice cooker, crock pot, and air fryer (probably more than 100 collectively, but each one should be less than 100).

I really enjoyed the dueling banjo fart battle against Michael Moore

Make sure you say that before jury duty so they don't allow you to be on a jury

I can't see any evidence that it wasn't Pope Gregory on Oct 15 1582. Which was a Friday, I guess? The previous day, October 4th was a Monday and a Thursday but the Gregorian calendar standardized it.

I'm a movie guy, but it doesn't really come down to quality for me. I've watched many shows that match or exceed the quality of even the very best movies. I just prefer the package of a movie; being able to sit down and get the complete experience in one afternoon as opposed to the days/weeks/months or even years long commitment of watching a show. Don't get me wrong, I love TV, I just prefer the ease and comfort that a movie can give me.
