Released in 1975, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was an animated television special directed by legendary animator Chuck Jones and based on the classic story by Rudyard Kipling.

The story follows a brave mongoose who takes on two deadly cobras to protect the family that rescued him. For a generation of kids, it was one of those rare animated films that felt genuinely intense. The stakes were real, the villains were terrifying, and you couldn't help but root for Rikki-Tikki every step of the way.

More than 50 years later, it's still remembered as one of the finest animated adaptations ever put on television.

Did you watch Rikki-Tikki-Tavi growing up?

You may think Brian Eno makes pretentious music but then you remember his full name is Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno and for having a name like that he is surprisingly down to earth

Dale Earnhardt was the most redneck redneck to ever redneck and he took the confederate flag off his car because his Black housekeeper said she didn’t want to see it. It’s really not that hard to not be an asshole.

The Nice Guys es, como mínimo, la mejor comedia de los últimos 10 años y una de las mejores buddy movies de todos los tiempos.

Es una real tragedia que nunca se pudiera dar una secuela.

In the 1980s, Brazil’s elite CIGS (Jungle Warfare Training Center) in Manaus had rescued jaguars roaming free during PT as a way to build soldiers' mental fortitude and get them accustomed to realities they may encounter in the jungle | 🇧🇷🐆

i used to buy into the idea that kids are expensive.

then i sat with a friend who said he needed $2 million in liquidity before he could have kids. didn't think much of it at the time.

a few months later i was sitting with a man who made 60% less than me. big family. happy kids. no stress about it.

started paying attention after that. met business owners with families. met guys working regular jobs with families. all making it work.

kids aren't expensive. your choice of woman is.

if she needs the kids in designer clothes and the latest everything, yeah it's going to cost you.

if she's a down to earth woman who actually wants to be a mother. who comes from a family that doesn't chase trends. who sees the joy in raising kids and not in showing them off.

it's not expensive.

loads of people with far less money than you are raising great kids right now.

if you actually want to improve the world, the move isn't posting another youtube video.

it's having children and raising them well.

Frank Miller said Gail, played by Rosario Dawson (47 today), was one of the characters that “screamed off the page” when making Sin City (2005). Seeing her in costume for the first time, Clive Owen cracked: “I have to work with that?”
Clive’s the best Bond we never got.

Akira Kurosawa recounting the unforgettable experience of watching Solaris with Andrei Tarkovsky:

“Andrei Tarkovsky was sitting in the corner of the screening room watching Solaris with me, but he got up as soon as the film was over and looked at me with a shy smile. I said to him, ‘It’s very good. It’s a frightening movie.’ He seemed embarrassed but smiled happily. Then the two of us went to a film union restaurant and toasted with vodka. Tarkovsky, who does not usually drink, got completely drunk and cut off the speakers at the restaurant, then began singing the theme of Seven Samurai at the top of his voice. I joined in, eager to keep up. At that moment, I was very happy to be on Earth.”

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!

“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”
