I may be laying here dying of a sunburn, but never you fear about this blog... because an all new Bullet Sunday starts... now...
• The Life List! If you too are laying on the couch trying not to move so your sunburn won't give you grief and you're looking for a rom-com to watch, here you go...
Ever since I lost Hallmark Channel, my consumption of rom-coms has been dangerously low. Fortunately they are in endless supply.
• Melancholy! There's a new Google commercial showing how you can use your phone's camera to get help via a photo AI search. The song they have in the background is very clearly On Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz. Then, at the very end, the tune takes enough of a turn that you know it's not...
It's a bummer, because every time it comes on, I'm thinking that Google licensed the track from Damon Albarn, who has crafted some of my favorite music of all time (lead by Silent Running which remains one of the most achingly beautiful songs I've heard (link in comments).
• Correlation? And yet you see it on social media practically every day. Multiple times a day...
Which is bad enough, except you see it in the news as well. Politicians just love this shit.
• Cancelation Rage! One of my favorite shows of 2025 has been The Residence on Netflix. The character of Cordelia Cupp is amazing, the story they came up with for her is fantastic, and the mystery in the show is pretty great. Which is why I was hoping so badly we'd get a sequel. But of course Netflix canceled the show...
It's beyond frustrating that good shows get canceled before their time. And I guess I'll just add this to the pile of shows I'm mad about losing.
• Immortal Cat Tales! Matt Damon has more than a few stories which make me like him as a person. And here's one more...
Cats are such mythical creatures. Maybe that's what I like about them.
• NEWSFLASH: ‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version. The fact that there is a laugh-react to this enrages me to the point of meltdown. Adding accessibility for a group of people DOES NOT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM YOU. The Black Deaf Community has developed a language to better communicate their shared-experience. Everybody should be thrilled to know that HBO Max is putting in the work and money necessary to make sure that this masterpiece film has the best experience possible for everybody. But no. The fact that BASL is an option is somehow hilarious. Get fucked. Go back to your bigot bubble where absolutely everything is just designed exclusively for you and leave those who advocate for their inclusion alone.
• Make it Sparkle! LET'S GO TO THE MALL EVERYBODY!
I've been rewatching How I Met Your Mother, but the number of times I've watched this episode go way beyond the number of times I've watched the series.
And now back to nursing my sunburn.

I’ve never heard of BASL before and I think that’s singularly amazing! But then I work in website QA so accessibility is a huge thing for me and I like to think of myself as an ally (hopefully others would agree, but I can’t speak for them).
As to Netflix, these days, if I were an actor auditioning for a role in a show and I heard it was going to be made for Netflix, I’d probably keep auditioning as a backup and just expect it will be canceled. Very little seems to last past a season or two there. It’s sad.
