A gentle but fun comedy. Rudd and Segel’s chemistry make a fairly average script pop.

A corporate downsizer is forced to reevaluate his life. Up in the Air feels very old-school; classy, touching and fun. George Clooney puts in a typically great turn in the lead role, and Reitman's direction shines.

Rated In the Loop 8/10

Sparkling dialogue, and some of the best swearing you’ll ever hear. Armando Iannucci serves up a comedy treat.

Just some #Gratitoot 😁

I realised that I've neglected to thank everyone who has boosted, commented, and favourited my shamelessly self-promotional book posts...

I just wanted to say that as someone who is retired with disablity I really appreciate the support.
It makes me feel maybe I can contribute something 😊

Está bien pinche raro que les preguntemos a los niños qué quieren ser de grandes y esperemos que la respuesta sea un trabajo.

¿No que dónde quieres vivir? ¿Cómo quieres que se sientan tus días? ¿Qué quieres crear? ¿A quién quieres en tu mesa? ¿En qué clase de criatura te quieres convertir?

No. ¿Qué puesto dentro de la economía te gustaría que empezáramos a prepararte emocionalmente para asumir como identidad?

The first Science of Discworld book gets 4/5 stars... I think, wait let me check my math.The Science parts got 3 and the Wizard parts got 5 so if you add 'em up carry the 1, always carry the one, divide by two you get 4... I think.Unless we take into account that the Science chapters were longer than the Wizard chapters, wigheted data-points and all that, but a little lying to children is to be expected, it is #Discworld after all, the narrativum has to go somewhere.

A review of the first volume of the post-War British Comedian Spike Milligan’s WWII memoirs. Incredibly funny, but also the brilliant story of a citizen soldier in a citizen army.

Note: the content of this video has been shaped by a need to avoid triggering TikTok’s AI-driven moderation into falsely flagging it as “promoting extremist propaganda”. #comedy #memoir #ww2 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZN8eToQ3L/

Honestly found this to be a very delightful film. Wilder always loves putting his male leads in situations. Hope to watch more of his filmography soon.

I'm super late for my biannual re-#introduction post... Whoops! 😅

Anyway, I'm slanderoid. I'm just some guy from a tiny #rural village in Midwest, USA. I came to #Mastodon after #Twitter turned into a medical waste dumpster fire back in 2022. I'm turning 40 in a week and I feel weird about it

I'm a #geek. (Or a #nerd, I'm not sure which.) I love #horror of all kinds. I used to play a lot of #VideoGames but not so much, lately. I'm more into #movies and #music at the moment. I love #books and I can often be found #reading something. My wife and I run a big #LittleFreeLibrary from our front lawn. We've got some big plans for it next year!

I recently launched a website full of my #writing over at https://notaherostory.com. #NotAHeroStory has been my dream for many years and it's cool that, after some hard work, time, and dedication, it finally exists! If you're into #fantasy, #comedy, #LitRPG, or #beer, you should check it out. It's 94% free!

If you're new here, welcome! 😄

The painting I commissioned last year for the cover of "(Not) A Hero Story". A blue-haired man wields a wooden sword against a huge snake in a dark forest. The snake is holding a tanuki captive with its tail. A pink fairy and a massive spider are off to the sides.

$A Brilliant Story in Absurdist Flavor by Billy101 Friday, July 3rd, 2026 20:04 First of all, this story challenged my brain. It requires a slow read to appreciate the wit and clever humor. It has a distinct voice that uses play on words and Overall mundane absurdity to tell a story that’s actually cosmic horror. I'm honestly impressed with the author's skill in weaving a complex story that I think in many ways is a satire of social systems, which is the part that sometimes makes me stop and say “Oh wow, that is deep. And chilling.” like the imprisonment of philo—oh | don't want to spoil. Some comments: Sometimes the multiple inner voices / fractured psyche can be overwhelming, especially since the two protagonists share the same quirk. Though it’s funny. I feel like there's a deeper reason why they do. Another is that the story sometimes unfold through the characters not doing anything much physically (or maybe it's because they are philosophers). The humor is great, but I think there are times when it undercuts the impactful beats instead of letting them linger a little longer. There are also some tense slips and minor missing punctuations. Overall, it's very entertaining. Perfect for warming up my rusty brain since I'm just starting to read again. I think I will read this again in my free time because the voice is just so entertaining. But make no mistake, the worldbuilding is solid, and the plot is not what you see coming. I think this is actually a diamond in the rough. Excited to read book 2!$
