so my response to the suggestion that Max Von Sydow would have been the worst hypothetical muppet show guest was;
"but but but you could do a whole episode with Von Sydow shot in grainy black and white with the title VAERFOR AR GUD TYST? and like, it'd have the Swedish chef granted a respite from dying so he could make the perfect kladdkaka and"

darnit, the chain of taquerias I like is real local to me, there aren't any in Oakland. https://taqueriacalafia.com/ used to be my favorite when I lived on the island, admittedly mostly 'cause they have menudo on weekends.
while the dark, cinematic Elfman stuff is probably not behind the current mood (currently would really like it if I had a massive heart attack or stroke this afternoon), it *is* probably behind all the little thumbnail sketches of Spider-Man
plan is to wrap up soon, listen to "To The Five Boroughs" to push through, and go out and get sunlight while there IS some.
the way I get at least a dozen offers for working in a warehouse, working as a delivery driver, or working as AMAZON warehouse staff or delivery, plus there are job site emails which route me back to where I can apply for warehouse, driver or Amazon positions, hits my mood worse than an Ingmar Bergman movie marathon
longish response
@zebratron2084 I've never actually seen the show but I know it had this huge fanbase.
I'm still figuring out what I thought about Big Adventure. It's like a kids' movie BY a 10 year old, rather than FOR 10 year olds - nothing really "adult" but none of the careful encouragement or whatever people put in childrens' films. And he reads as neurodiverse without it necessarily being played for laughs, Pee Wee as a character works that way whether it's funny or not.
Everything's CONSISTENTLY surreal to make the story work - real life doesn't work that way, but whatever universe Pee Wee's in, his infinite supply of money, ghost truckers, Ghidorah movies made on the WB lot, becoming the rodeo champion by accident etc are all about consistent. Lastly there really is something INCREDIBLY Angelino feeling about it, like Dr. Demento or the movie UHF, like part of the surreal is you live in this huge sprawling place with all sorts of people, so why WOULDN'T that include a person like Pee Wee with a house like that?
late war Captain Crunch where gradually the crunchberries started to include more wood shavings or other filler, and the Kriegsmarine learned to become wary of Resistance members sabotaging the reinforced concrete Crunch docks at Brest by scattering a handful of Fruit Loops in each box

re: Talk of transphobia
@ziphi Gender is basically a decision in as much as jobs, family or religion. Your extended childhood world (family plus school etc) officially love you, officially want you happy and officially want you do to anything you possibly want. EXCEPT that actually means there's a RIGHT decision you're supposed to make, please do not veer from it and decide you want HRT, childlessness, a humanities degree or career in the arts, and that you're actually an atheist or Buddhist or whatever.
Wow. So that was Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. It took a while to really pick up but once it did I was really hooked. I really like the implication at the end that the ultra dramatic ridiculous Bond film is pretty much Pee-Wee's filter on the whole wild ride. Also, I bet this movie is ridiculously awesome while stoned.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
