Yeah I thought someone was gonna fuck up her wedding. That would have been hilarious. I liked how her misery was the butt of some jokes even from her own parents.

The show ended well. Always enjoyed it.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Such a non-trailer.

Weird that they showed the character names at the end, but I guess that when it's a TV show you see and hear their character names more than in a movie so it makes a sort of sense. A little excited at some of the names, it'll be interesting to see how they cram a series into a movie. Maybe it'll be like a Christmas special?

And they'll kill Dan again.

Finally doing a rewatch. Just finished season two and now watching the Christmas special.

This is great tv. So immersive.

So the plot is basically Exile On Main Street. Mr. Carson on heroine is going to be sweet.

I liked the new movie a lot. Slow start, but once it got going it was everything I wanted from it. It was much better than the first movie, in my opinion.

Extreme escapism

Lovely and depressing
Sometimes I wanna drive around and find you
And act like it's a random thing
