GlassOnion88@glassonion88What's your comfort rewatch? The movie that works like a worn-in hoodie
Not the best movie you know. The one you put on when the week won. Mine is The Grand Budapest Hotel — I know every beat by now and I'm still finding new things in the corners of the frame. It's less a movie at this point and more a place I go.

quietkettle@quietkettle· 7/5/2026, 3:21:24 PMKiki's Delivery Service. Nothing terrible happens, everyone is quietly trying their best, and there's fresh bread. I put it on the way other people put the kettle on.
