I watched "Everybody Wants Some!!" again last night. This movie truy brings me so much happiness. [SPOILERS]

-

Everything about this movie is fantastic in my opinion. I am simply happy every single time I watch it (& I'm on about watch 6 now).

It's a classic Linklater film and will hands down go down as one of my favorite movies ever. No exaggeration.

The chemistry between the teammates, the comedy, FINN, the fact that the (majority of) actors actually knew how to play baseball, FINN, the parties, the "5 knuckle shuffle", Nesbit, the baseball & the axe, Jake and Beverly, nightly going-out preparations, FINN and so much more. It's a feel-good fest through and through.

Little to no conflict amongst characters (Bueter, I guess, could be considered a conflict in the very beginning of the movie) which is out of the ordinary but Linklater makes it work so so well. He takes an ordinary, sometimes even mundane situation, and turns it into something so damn enjoyable.

The other aspect I love about it is how, as light hearted and happy as it is, Linklater subtly drops some really awesome life lessons that just pass by in general conversation. Not sure of the exact lines but I specifically remember Jake and Willoughby's conversation in the pool hall, Jake and Finn's conversation at the rock show, Jake and Beverly's convo at the end on the water. I'm forgetting a ton but even a lot of the comedic scenes hold a lot of truths to them.

And let's not forget how funny of a character Jay Niles was too.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE.

There's Only One Blockbuster Video Left in the United States

-
Image
The true end of an American institution draws closer, as after two closings in Alaska, only one Blockbuster Video remains in business in the U.S. It might seem like a lifetime ago to many, but before subscription streaming services like Netflix and Amazon dominated the home video rental market, the good old-fashioned video store was king. The biggest player in that industry up until its final gasps as a major force was Blockbuster Video, which employed over 58,000 people and operated over 4500 stores in the U.S. at the company's peak in 2004. Blockbuster Video was founded in 1985, naturally right around the beginning of movie rentals as a whole. The company dominated the 80s and 90s, and became culturally ubiquitous. Of course, it wasn't always widely known for good reasons. Things like lacking supplies of new releases, annoying late fees, and Blockbuster's tendency to put surrounding independent video stores out of business by undercutting their prices, all became inf

WARNING: The following article contains SPOILERS for Disenchantment . - Fans of Matt Groening's work will not be surprised to learn that Disenchantment - the new fantasy series Groening created for Netflix - contains a number of Easter eggs and references to his earlier work. The early seasons of The Simpsons   often made reference to Groening's comic strip Life In Hell , and the sci-fi comedy  Futurama   also paid tribute to Groening's past creations - even before an official crossover  was arranged between Springfield's favorite family and the employees of Planet Express. To that end, we've attempted to inventory all of the subtle nods and sight-gags in Disenchanted that pay tribute to the earlier animated series and comics - from familiar wigs to a potential shared universe.

Harry Potter: 20 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Voldemort

-
Image
Tom Marvolo Riddle started out as an orphan at a muggle orphanage. He was convinced that he had a destiny greater than mundane obscurity. Then Albus Dumbledore arrived and told Riddle that he was a wizard. Riddle jumped at the chance to go to Hogwarts. However, he had already developed cruel and selfish tendencies - tendencies that he carefully worked to hide from the Hogwarts students and staff. He quietly expanded his knowledge, power, and influence until he reemerged many years later as Lord Voldemort. Voldemort spread such a reign of terror across Great Britain that the magical community as a whole feared to speak his name. They only referred to him as “You Know Who” or “He Who Must Not Be Named.” Just when he was at the height of his power, Voldemort was defeated and banished after an encounter with an infant. Harry Potter became known as the Boy Who Lived. For the rest of his life, Voldemort was obsessed with regaining his power and destroying Harry Potter, the supposed chos
