There was a related movie called The Disaster Artist about The Room, made by one of the Francos. I’ve seen that, but not The Room. Still strikes me as pretty fucking weird though.

How about an oversized Dr Seuss book?

With an awning to protect against the prehistoric sun

Sounds like a line from a deleted scene from In Bruges

Ah, the classic masterpiece from Pornelius Hubert.

Lol, that’s an old HEB name tag. Stores used to have names, titles, & photos of store leadership by the customer service desk.

I loved the picture of him and Tilda Swinton doing drag impersonations of each other

Doesn’t really bother me. I’m not the sort that likes to post, but I will comment periodically. All this does is give me more stuff to look at.

Are those supposed to be the bouncy things rhat young children have?

Is this the joke?

Change the colors a bit and this could be some bondage restraints

Reminds me of being out in the desert and seeing a sandstorm rolling in

That’s nuts!

Add up all the snow I’ve ever personally seen in my 40+ years and it still wouldn’t be as much snow as this.

A big reason why I’m glad that I’m no longer in IT is that I don’t have to be in an on-call rotation any longer.

If the job offers to pay for your cell phone, it’s because they will expect you to answer at 2am.

• regular vigorous exercise - I do this five or six days per week
• no caffeine after about 2 pm
• mostly consistent bedtime
• heating pad, for nights when my lower back is stiff or sore
• white noise in the form of a fan (though I’m going to need something more powerful, as my neighbor has started the lovely habit of watching tv at 330am with no headphones)
• on nights when I’m really having trouble, I have a small stash of chewable 5mg melatonin tablets on my nightstand

Is there any possibility this is done just to make it blindingly obvious to the viewer that Breakfast Is Happening™?

Seems like someone grabbing a couple breakfast bars and a canned beverage might plausibly finish the task quickly enough that a viewer may not notice, particularly if it’s not the foreground of the scene.

Or maybe it’s for the same reason anyone coming back from the grocery store will have a paper bag with celery stalks and a baguette poking out the top? No reason other than that it’s the conventional way of demonstrating the trope.

When I was in middle school, on an organized camping trip to a lake where we would work on our canoeing skills, another kid and I started to horseplay. We were struggling over who could take a specific canoe paddle. My opponent held the handle, and I the blade. We each tried using the paddle to shove at the other & cause them to lose control, thereby securing the paddle for our own exclusive use.

Nevermind that there were a dozen other equally good paddles laying around unclaimed, we had to fight over that specific paddle.

I wound up losing my grip right as my opponent shoved. The blade hit me square on the bridge of my nose. I bled like crazy.

It wasn’t until several years afterwards that I realized how perilously close I had come to losing one or both eyes.
