Rom-Coms aren't dead
This is my rom-coms aren't dead list
Sleeping With Other People (2015)
The Big Sick (2017)
Set It Up (2018)
Palm Springs (2020)
I Want You Back (2022)
these are some of my favorite bc they tend to hold the same sort of themes of "we're fucked in the head and I love you" especially sleeping with other people and palm springs
the big sick is just the cutest and most funny
set it up is such a comfort movie I love Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell
I want you back had Jenny Slate and Charlie Day, they are both so sweet and charming and funny. I loved the we're in our late twenties and still haven't got shit figured out. The very last scene of the movie is so romantic, I think about it all the time.

So, I had to use Instagram recently, and I immediately had to delete it again because all of my negative thoughts came RUSHING back.
That app is literally the death of me ugh.
Anyway, before I removed Instagram, I saw that the Largo had an amazing lineup recently: Anthony Jeselnik, Joe Mande, and Kumail Nanjiani. All so funny and...I can connect each one of them DIRECTLY to Bo Burnham! 👀
Here's how:
Anthony: Easy. Bo and Anthony are good friends and I wrote about their relationship here
Joe: A little harder. Bo appears to give advice (along with George Wallace) to Joe on how to win a comedy award in his 2017 special
Kumail: Easy again. Bo is in Kumail's Academy Award-nominated film The Big Sick and Bo would often perform at The Meltdown, a performance space Kumail ran with his wife and Jonah Ray
So there you go! Now if Bo would just show up unannounced at the Largo again...a girl can dream! 🤞🏼
Keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

In June 2017, Lorde’s second and greatest work to date was released. Following the success of her massive 2013 single “Royals” that she made when she was just 17, the bar was high for the sophomore album. It is pop, art rock and electronic all rolled into one, but it’s really her voice that makes this album. I included this album on my Best Albums of the 2010s list. Happy 5 Melodrama!
June 17, 1987: Pleased to Meet Me released
In June 1987, The Replacements’ greatest album was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 35th PTMM!
June 18, 2012: The Idler Wheel... released
In June 2012, Fiona Apple’s 4th album was released. It has been seven years since the release of Apple’s excellent album Extraordinary Machine, so hopes were high. This album is more than just an album you listen to, it is something you experience. I named this my #8 Album of the 2010s. Happy 10 The Idler Wheel...!
June 19, 1992: Batman Returns opens
In June 1992, Tim Burton’s second Batman movie was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 30th BR!

June 23, 2017: The Big Sick opens
In June 2017, one of the smartest comedies about relationships in a long time was released. Co-writer / star Kumail Nanjiani, director Michael Showalter and producer Judd Apatow were a meeting of the cinematic minds in this story of an interracial relationship that gets complicated when his grad student girlfriend goes into a coma. This was laugh-out-loud funny one minute / verge of tears the next, but with a real heart to it. I named it my #1 Movie of 2017. Happy 5 TBS!
June 25, 1982: Blade Runner opens
In June 1982, another classic Philip K. Dick adaptation was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 40th BR!

to Souji: “You’ve got a fever. Of course I’m not going anywhere.”
@seetsunaai
"But... you still have work to do," he wanted to get up, wanted to make the other a bento and see him off, but it was really all the other could do to stay awake and form words. It was a pretty bad illness. "I.... don't... want to get in the way of... important things..."
