Pinned thread What are you watching?

On a cold and snowy night like tonight... there's no better Tom and Jerry short to watch than "Snowbody Loves Me" (1964).

This has always been my favorite Chuck Jones-era short, and it's in my top 5 favorite T&J shorts overall. It's a shame that nobody really recognizes it, because it's a beautiful short from a relatively forgotten era. From the lively animation, to the beautiful backgrounds, to just the overall concept... everything's really brilliantly done.

And did I mention the music too? It easily rivals "The Cat Concerto" and the other legendary T&J musical shorts. The entire short's music composition is based on arrangements of Frédéric Chopin's works. The music adds so much to the charm of this short, I could watch it just for the music alone.

If you haven't watched it, I highly suggest you do right now. But you've probably have at least seen parts of it before, because this short is where the "Cheese Backrooms" came from. It's so beautiful. 🥹

I like having poker on in the background since it's easy to not pay too much attention to, but can also be really entertaining when you want it to be. This is the video I'm working through now:

Other than that, I've been watching Yellowjackets season 3, and rewatching How To Get Away With Murder.
 
Since I have nothing better to do, I am watching a compilation of old Apple Jacks cereal commercials featuring the characters "Cinna-Mon" and "Apple." In addition to nostalgia, the idea of Cinna-Mon and Apple racing to the cereal bowl is just so funny and charming. And did I mention the apple had a redemption arc in the 2007 commercials? We need to bring these type of commercials back.
