I’ve seen all of them, but I’d argue the most accessible is “Life Aquatic”. Especially if you’re old enough to remember all the old Jaques Cousteau stuff on TV.
The most inscrutable is Asteroid City. You really have no chance of grasping it unless you’re intimately familiar with experimental 1950s stage production like Harold Pinter or Samuel Beckett.
Not just Rocky… I won’t spoil it here, but there are scenes in the trailer that are a REALLY late revelation in the book.
It also looks very Earth centric I wonder if they’re going to avoid the whole flashback sequences by just doing everything chronologically.
Close…
“I won’t be able to use much the computer today. I have to go to a place.”
Should be:
“I won’t be able to use the computer much today, I have to go to a place.”
Alternately:
“I won’t be able to use the computer very much today, I have to go to a place.”
Much (or very much) is modifying the action of using the computer, so it comes after.
“It’s incredible how flies the time! It will be Christmas soon!”
Same issue here…
“It’s incredible how time flies! It will be Christmas soon!”
The idiom is “time flies”, flies, the modifier, comes after. “The” isn’t needed and can be left out.
English has a LOT of weird rules, but there are good books that explain EVERYTHING:
Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style” is kind of the gold standard and it’s old enough now that it’s public domain:

While not free, I’d also suggest the Borzoi Handbook for Writers:
Wait, we were promised $5,000?
Hairless.
Single digits, you can always put on another layer.
Triple digit heat is miserable.
Burned out being a sysadmin, took a lower position, ended up with less responsibility and more pay. :)
Freezer Jam:

It’s not shelf stable, but it will keep in the fridge for 3 weeks or in the freezer for a year.
Megalopolis. Flew way over peoples heads, I didn’t really feel I fully understood it until the 2nd or 3rd viewing.
Under the UN Genocide definition, both are the same:
https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition
"Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
It only takes ONE to be called a genocide. Israel has run the table, 5 for 5.
Russia? 4 for 5 in Ukraine. I can’t think of instances of bullet point #4.
Wait, that’s a Winter only thing? My wife uses those ALL the time!
You don’t mess with the Zohran…
Tehran Times is a questionable source when it comes to things like this. Is it POSSIBLE? Sure, Israel has done some super shady shit, like trying to assassinate the US ambassador to Lebanon. But we need to hear this from a reliable source, not Iranian state media.

Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt.
Not at home, but I had a job that shared a parking lot with a movie theater. “Oh, off work, I don’t want to go home yet… hey, Independence Day is still playing…”
I must have seen that dozens of times in the theater.
Same, that was my experience browsing “All” as a new Lemmy user… “Wow… that’s a lot of furry porn… and gay porn… and gay furry porn…”
Blocking those communities one by one rendered the All feed mostly sensible.
[email protected] is exclusively US politics, so you’d want to block that one.
World is a US free zone, it is not the place to post about American television shows.
