Institutions require employees to take cartoonish, ill informed cybersecurity training that either falls on deaf ears or preaches to the choir. Then they pay $100s of thousands to Instructure to expose them to a cybersecurity breach that crashes the system mid-finals and

I’ve always found the ending of the Princess Bride so moving.

@LouLumenick @RadioCity I caught up with the JEB movies a few years ago and they’re all so fun and wacky. This one might be my favorite

My contribution to the Donald Sutherland lovefest is THE EAGLE HAS LANDED and EYE OF THE NEEDLE. In the former, a charming rogue doing something pretty bad, in the latter, a psychopath who either falls in love or pretends to. He’s fireicondotgif in both capers

What would be worse? Sitting for ten minutes listening to Michigan and USC fans talk about the importance of their football traditions, or ten minutes in a room w/ Jason the hockey-masked machete-killer from Friday the 13th?

@thedavewain there is a lot in this movie that Chevy does that suggests an alternate career where he plays dark, amoral conmen who are put in situations where they have a soul. but it's the same year as VACATION, and he went the goofy route. probably best but didn't age past the 80s.
