Playing Minecraft for me
I have two dogs so I will spend my 10 hours trying to read or surf the web while constantly being interrupted to let the dogs out, in, out, in, out…
10 hours alone! That would be my dream day. Depending on the weather, I would probably do just about everything on that list. But if it’s a sunny, warm day, I’m going to be outside for most of those 10 hours. I’d read, do crosswords, do all of my Wordle and other NYT word games, hang laundry outside to dry, walk the dogs, eat outside, work in the yard, maybe even take an outdoor nap. If it’s cold and/or rainy, I’d watch some TV, do my NYT games, look at TikTok, do a crossword, etc.
But no matter what the weather, I would FIRST get the house in order. I can’t relax until the house has been cleaned/straightened up.
This. Voted other. Probably some of it reading, some outside just walking around, some of it goofing off online, maybe some of it sleeping. Definitely some of it patting cats and dog. Might start to organize a bookcase, give up somewhere in the first dozen books, and start reading one of them.
I thought we were assuming ten hours with nothing we had to do. If you’ve got to clean house, I think the ten hours doesn’t start till that’s done.
I agree!!
Agreed.
I chose “other hobby,” because if I have an unassembled Lego set I’ll probably spend at least half of the time building it – but I always have the TV on while I’m building. The rest of the time will be a combo of TV, reading, and surfing the web. (Which is also the answer if I don’t have an unassembled Lego set.)
Ten hours alone sounds like a dream.
I would spend more of it than I would have liked surfing the web (and posting here.)
Ideally I’d balance the time. There would be pure relaxion, like cross stitch with podcasts, video games, and reading, combined with intermittent getting stuff done around the house, including decluttering and organization projects.
I could not enjoy leisure time for ten hours straight without throwing some productivity in there.
If it were a nice day, taking a bike ride would be a top priority, but not for more than 3 or 4 hours. If it’s not a nice day, I’d do some yoga. The majority of the time would likely be spent either reading or playing computer games. IRL I’d probably go out to eat at some point, but if that weren’t an option I’d likely cook myself a nice meal.
More or less my day. Maybe do a few little minor chores that I have been putting off.
Yep. The last time the Sumerians betrayed me, so today THEY MUST DIE!
I dunno if Master of Disguise qualifies as a Saturday Night Live cinematic spinoff or not.
Blues Brothers is a great film with great music. 2000 is a meh film- with great music.
Bob Roberts is a terrific film, though it seems many haven’t seen it.
It might be splitting hairs, but I don’t think of it as an SNL sketch - it’s a short mocumentary film Tim Robbins created and submitted to Lorne Michaels, and SNL ran it.
You left out “haven’t seen any of them.”
A hearty + 1 to this sentiment. I don’t hate 2000, though it would go up a full letter grade by just removing the whole substory about the child IMHO, but it obviously cared. It reminds me that even with good intentions, honest effort, and most of the same actors, lighting may not strike twice.
Still, it’s a lot less terrible than most of the movies in that list that I’ve made it 20-30 minutes into and then noped out of. Which is why I still voted it for 2000 in both best and worst categories. It wouldn’t appear in the worst if it wasn’t the worst of the ones I’ve actually seen all the way through.
“One more turn!”
Office Space isn’t an SNL movie, in my opinion.
Yes, Mike Judge’s Milton shorts, which inspired Office Space, did apparently air on SNL, but I don’t believe that he specifically made them for the show (they apparently aired on MTV’s Liquid Television first).
As far as I can tell, Judge was never on the SNL writing team, nor were any of the actors in the film regular SNL cast members.
Just curious, did anybody suggest it was?
@Leaper posed the question in the Polls thread, but did not state an opinion one way or the other. That said, someone must have at least considered it, to warrant a question about it.
Thanks. I had the chronology of the posts reversed in my head.
