Rolsex sounds like a tired DM telling a player to “roll for sex” during some kind of porn version of Dungeons and Dragons.

Jian-Yang!

Extra points for The Simpsons reference in your title, 11/10 post.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?

You’ve got red on you.

It might depend on how many people are familiar with the flowers but “Yellow Shrimp and The Phipps” sounds like a worthy name to post on !fakebandnames@lemmy.world

The more I think about this the more curious I am as to what’s on it. Nice work reaching out to the Smithsonian, sometimes you gotta take action to satiate curiosity.

They’re definitely talking about the Mannequin movies though only the first one came out in the 80s, with Mannequin 2: On the Move being released in 1991 (though I think it was actually more 80s than the one that released in the 80s, if that makes sense). I think the sequel is the one with the hot air balloon sequence at the end, though maybe they both had hot air balloons?

The podcast How Did This Get Made did an episode about it.

Ah now I see it, thank you!

I might sound like an idiot but what is the thing in the center of the photo used in this article? At first I thought it was someone in a black robe and black veil making their case to the council which upon closer inspection can’t be true, then looking closer it looks like a filled trash bag in the middle of the council which makes even less sense.

What am I looking at here?

1. “Stay gold, Ponyboy!” -The Outsiders (1983)
2. “Stay gold, Cheesy Boy!” -Reservation Dogs (2021-2023)
3. “Take it sleazy.” -The Good Place (2016-2020)

Good use of natural framing, combined with rule of thirds and selective focus. It’s a good photo!

Not to detract from the discussion but does anyone know what’s handwritten at the top of the ‘paper’ above the word Daily? It looks like it says “Hi Hi Farm” or “4141 Farm” and it’s becoming that mystery that’s going to periodically pop in my head at night when I’m trying to sleep.

It’s a good time – in terms of character dynamics it’s very similar to other Loren Bouchard shows (Bob’s Burgers, The Great North). It’s a surprisingly good musical most of the time too with a great cast. You’ll hear some hints of homages but the music is made up of original songs and performed very well by the actors.

If you liked Hamilton then it’s definitely worth at least checking out since the lead character is played by Leslie Odom Jr. (Aaron Burr in Hamilton) and Daveed Diggs is a main character (Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson in Hamilton).

Basically if you enjoy Bob’s Burgers, Hamilton or musicals in general, then it’s worth taking a look at. Fair warning, most agree that it starts out incredibly rough and only starts getting good about halfway through the first episode. I’d been warned about it but still wasn’t prepared for how much of a slog it was to get through the first 12 minutes or so. But, as soon as the song Own It kicks in about halfway through, everything else starts to follow and it’s a good time from there. A nice show to have in your watchlist for times when you need something less than 30 minutes, a fun thing to zone out to or have had too long of a day to pay attention to that complex thriller drama you’re watching.

I just binged the show Central Park on Apple TV+. After seeing it animated in Loren Bouchard’s style for so many episodes, seeing this shot of it makes me realize how good of a job they did drawing the view of it from Bitsy’s high-rise.

Crab people, crab people…

It’s bitchin’ in the upside down
