Hello? Can I speak to—to Michael?

Oh hey, how you doing?

Uh, I feel kinda silly doing this, but uh... this is the waitress from the coffee house on 39th and Lennox. You know, the one with the braids?
Yeah, well I see you on Wednesdays all the time. You come in every Wednesday on your lunch break, I think. And you always order the special, with the hot chocolate, and my manager be tripping and stuff talking 'bout we gotta use water.
But I always use some milk and cream for you, 'cause I think you're kinda sweet.
Anyway, you always got on some fly blue suit, and your cuff links are shining all bright.

So, what you do?

Oh, word?

Yeah, that's interesting.
Look man, I mean I don't wanna waste your time, but... I know girls don't usually do this, but I was wondering if maybe we could get together outside the restaurant one day?
'Cause I do look a lot different outside my work clothes.
I mean, we could just go across the street to the park right here...

Wait, hold up, my cell phone's breaking up, hold up.

Can you hear me now?

Yeah.

So, what day did you say?

Oh yeah, Thursday's perfect, man.
Bills so big I call them Williams

And here... we... go. "Macarena" One Hit Wonderland, now on YouTube.

I hunted down literally every Macarena clip I could think of and people in the comments are sharing YET MORE that I didn't find

One minor victory while making this episode: Forcing my brain to accept that the "Macarena" riff does not start on the 1.

okay, this is concerning. if i try to search for an obscure song on Spotify, I get only the same four popular songs. Is the search function broken for you too?
This will get me to switch to Tidal.
Seems to work on mobile though

Favorites: Finland, Norway, Moldova, Iceland, Ukraine, Greece

Least favorites: Australia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Germany, Poland, UK

This is no order and I may not even remember which is which correctly
Maybe bump Sweden and Lithuania into the favorite section

Take UK out of the bottom, that strikes me as harsh on second listen though still underwhelming

I think I'm in a small minority of people who think that James Cameron's "Avatar" wasn't "forgettable," or Good Actually, but genuinely actively terrible. Putrid dialogue, implicitly racist, and just horrifically acted (Sigourney Weaver excepted)
The dialogue isn't great in Cameron's "Titanic" either, or the characterization any less thin, but man it still goes hard. Everyone is selling it. I just do not see any of that in "Avatar." I don't like the characters, I don't like the story, any of it.
In a way, I'm actually looking forward to the sequels. Hit movies that get turned into trilogies ("The Matrix," "Pirates") tend towards overstuffed worldbuilding, but "Avatar" is so thin than overstuffed worldbuilding is what it desperately needs.
