Wacky inventor breakfast montage
You know the type. Spring-loaded hammer cracking eggs, pancake conveyor belt, robot arm catapulting bacon…
The wacky inventor movie archetype peaked in the ‘90s and has since all but disappeared from the cinemascape.
Notable in the tradition: Flubber, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Pewee’s Big Adventure, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Throw one on while you make your weekend eggies you won’t regret it

Just reading this I thought of meet the robinsons which I haven’t thought of in years and I think there’s probably one of these in there but I could also be completely wrong

One of my childhood movies. This movie walked so A Sausage Party could run.

Back to School - 1986
I don’t know that it’s as bad as other movies, but it’s a very cheesy and silly movie I stumbled upon a while back.
This movie combines all of the following:
- The plot of An Extremely Goofy Movie - Rodney Dangerfield standup - A young Robert Downey Jr. - A performance by Danny Elfman (during the Oingo Boingo era)
And somehow, despite everything, it kinda works.

tampopo (1985)
One of the best things I've seen in years. So perfect, so playful, so Python-esque! Exceptionally up my alley in every way. The egg yolk scene is such good directing and just simply divine.

Skipping as transport
It's pretty fast and energy efficient. A better way to travel imo if only the world could accept it

Sharing a meme with your parent & realizing how much info is encoded within
“Who is this?” “Do you know them?” “Why are they standing like that?”
Start at the beginning. Patiently peel back the layers one by one — it may take 30 minutes or more. At the end they will answer  “oh, ok, that’s weird.”
it was all worth it
