Morning Tea: Kurt Vonnegut Remembers The 5th of November

Posted on November 5, 2021September 18, 2023 By Sammy Younan No Comments on Morning Tea: Kurt Vonnegut Remembers The 5th of November

Will Smith!

Kurt Vonnegut!

Y The Last Man! Brew a strong tea: yo!


The First Yo of The Day.

“A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.” ~ Malcolm X

How James Bond iconic is this Iron Man cover?


5th of November

As for today’s cover image: Remember, Remember The 5th of November according to British Tyler Durden. V For Vendetta terrible comic book adaptation as like a straight up adaptation yet an utterly astonishing comic book movie…one of the best comic book movies.

Technically DC Films’ best movie aside from Superman II.


Kehinde Wiley Nice News

So dope to see Kehinde Wiley earning mainstream recognition. He’s one of my favourite modern painters…a phrase I shouldn’t say out loud too often. I’m classy but not that classy.

His paintings and even his techniques reference a lot of the Old Masters: if you know you know kinda thing.

A fantastic painter and here’s yet another example of just how good he is.


#CouchWorthy: Will Smith

So it’s not exactly Oprah but it’s still Will Smith. If you’re in Toronto this is #CouchWorthy.

So pleased to announce we’ve partnered with…

WILL SMITH:

#SetTheVCR…#PSA: YellowJackets

YellowJackets will premiere on Sunday, November 14 at 10 p.m. on Showtime.

However the premiere episode is freely available on YouTube, Showtime on Demand etc.

They didn’t make this for me so I’m out. I figure if you liked The Wilds you’ll dig this.

The question is… what really happened out there? You’re u̶n̶invited to find out when #Yellowjackets premieres November 14 on @showtime. pic.twitter.com/CheTqMl5hE

Y Are You Like This!

“Y” Y: The Last Man was cancelled. Though if you’ve watched this show especially after reading the excellent comics the answer is a fairly obvious: Y Not?

Lousy sci-fi, the pandemic, costly budgets, terrible writing; bloated politics, a writing agenda and an awful cast. Crash and Burn Huh Mav? The comics are outstanding and in this case stick with those. Skip the show.


The NBA 75th Anniversary Season: Remember D?

If you’re playing basketball you’re supposed to play Defense.

To paraphrase Chris Rock from 1996’s Bring The Pain: “What do you want, a cookie?! You’re “supposed to play D,” you low-expectation-having motherfucker! Man, I am tired of this shit!”

Steph is in the top 10 of guards in defensive rating 🔒 pic.twitter.com/BbfZfaYoYf

#TrailerAlert: Kurt Vonnegut – Unstuck in Time

This intriguing Kurt Vonnegut documentary is expected to open in theaters and VOD on November 19.

This looks great; I’m in! So gonna make a seriously serious tea for this. I’m In!


#SetTheVCR…PSA: Animaniacs: Season 2

Animaniacs: Season 2 debuts tonight on Hulu.

However for Canadians Season 2 will air tomorrow (November 6!) on Teletoon at 9 a.m. Oh Yes!

The delicious return of Saturday Morning Cartoons.

Buy a good cereal for this.

Animaniacs: Season 2 | November 6 | Teletoon 9 a.m. (for Canadians)
