CoCo fundamentally changed the way I think about death and the value of memory. I went into it knowing almost nothing about Día de los Muertos, so I wasn’t expecting it to affect me as deeply as it did.

The idea that someone can disappear forever only when they are no longer remembered hit me in a way I wasn’t prepared for. It was such a sad thought, but strangely comforting too. Sad because it means there is a kind of “second loss” that can come with time, but comforting because it suggests that the people we love are never truly gone as long as we carry them with us, speak their names, and keep their stories alive.

That idea stayed with me long after the movie ended. It made death feel less like a hard ending and more like a responsibility of love through memory.

Plus, the music is amazing.

I have a clear plastic shower curtain that my cat likes to crawl behind to watch me shower without getting wet.

Haha top tier shit post.

I know this hurts so much. But if there’s any comfort in it, he got to spend his whole life with you, loved and cared for from beginning to end. You were literally the best part of his life, and he knew he was loved every single day.

This is one I make people watch. It’s so goofy and fun in all the right ways. The costumes, aliens, and sets are fantastic. I don’t know why it’s not considered cult classic.

As funny as I find that article to be. The problem is that satire is reality most of the time these days. Even an idea as obviously dumb as this could actually be coming out of the white house.

I always call the trope “Steve” when I see it.

“Hey look, Steve left the door open so the dinosaurs got out.”

“Oh no, Steve forgot to zip his hazmat suit now all the apes are smart.”

“Steve took his helmet off on an alien planet because the air smelled fine.”

My wife and I bought a dehydrator and tried all kinds of different fruits. Pears are our favorite.
