Yellow Submarine (1968)

The plot is a very thin, dreamy excuse for a bunch of interconnected psychedelic cartoon music videos full of pretty colors and mostly slow-moving goofball artwork. If you absolutely hate the Beatles' music it's probably not for you, but if your feelings about them are anywhere on the scale from "neutral" to "okay" or above you might like it. I personally don't really have strong feelings about the Beatles' music for the most part, but this is still somehow one of my favorite movies to zone out with.

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

A great zombie flick, the one that started the whole thing, but also really slow and relatively simple in plot by today's standards. Beautiful to watch if you have the taste for horror, and still works if you're not into the ultraviolent bloody gory end of the genre.

Silent Running (1972)

Ambitious, pretty, and very melancholy scifi with ecological overtones. Most people still thought of scifi film as strictly kids' stuff at this time, this movie was one of the earlier attempts to challenge that.

The Room (2003)

It's legendarily bad, but also really fits the slow-paced and minimal plot requirement. If you're the type to have fun with shitty movies, check it out.

The Showa era Godzilla films (1954-1975)

Godzilla's Showa era encompasses basically the original run, and while the plots varied from meager to surprisingly good the monster fights quickly became what it was all about. That era was all a lot more slowly-paced and less frenetic than any more modern takes on the character or the kaiju genre. If you want to chill and zone out pick a random one and let it run in its entirety, or for a quicker fix you can always do what I did as a kid (and sometimes still do) and just skip any scene with only humans and enjoy the monster fights.

This does not apply so much in the Whole Foods/Prime example; the store, the membership, and the credit card are all Amazon products. The consumer is paying Amazon for the privilege of paying Amazon to pay Amazon.

Here's a bunch of equivalent things for desktop OSes.

It's the latest in a long red line of red lines.

I had to look up what "octopus" means in terms of diving equipment to alleviate myself of a mental image of each of you diving with a little sea creature friend snuggled up on you, which for some reason you'd grab if distressed.

It'd never wark out between us.

I have been chuckling like a dork at this particular patent since such things first became searchable online, and have never found any evidence of it being manufactured and marketed at all.

The "non-adhesive adherence" is illustrated in the diagrams on the patent which you can see at the link. The inventor proposes "a facing of fluffy fibrous material" to provide the filtration and the adherence; basically this thing is the softer side of a velcro strip, bent in half with the fluff facing outward so it sticks to the inside of your buttcrack to hold itself in place in front of your anus and filter your farts through it.

Pretty much every comic who guested as one of Dr. Katz's patients can count that appearance among their best work. I loved that show so much, and not enough people know about it anymore.

I most loved how Kevin Conroy's Batman from the Animated Series portrayed this aspect of the character. Conroy did measurably different voices for Batman and Bruce which made it completely clear that Bruce was the false persona being put on for appearances while Batman was the real voice and personality, and also sold how good Batman was at pretending to be Bruce when needed. Conroy's Batman isn't just a ninja genius detective, he's also a good actor, and to portray that as well as he did Conroy had to be an awesome actor.

Tell him that impersonating a police officer is a serious crime.

Many places have ways to drop off a bit of e-waste for free. In my area electronics manufacturers who sell their products in the state have to facilitate free recycling of e-waste. In practice this means pretty much any large electronics shop has a bin somewhere you can freely leave stuff to get recycled.
