It took me a long time to watch Robins movies again. Such a strange thing to sob uncontrollably when I finally did put Mrs Doubtfire on again.
I got about halfway through Hook and couldn’t finish. Don’t even ask about Dead Poets.
I bought into that “it’s fucked up that Sandy changed her style for Danny” business for years because I hadn’t seen Grease since I was a kid.
My now wife and I decided to watch “Worlds Greatest Dad”....yeah, I was a big blubbery mess
Watched Toys over the holidays and cried within 30 seconds of him showing up on screen.
Yup. I tried to watch Dead Poets Society over the holidays and it hurt enough that I turned it off.
Robin Williams' suicide.
I’m not usually a person who gets upset over celebrity deaths, but Patrick Swayze still hurts. I think the tribute Jezebel did actually sums it up pretty well. Get off yo’ ass and jam, baby - a great motto. https://jezebel.com/a-tribute-to-the-singular-masculinity-of-patrick-swayze-5636943
As a child of the late 70s/early 80s, the first celebrity death that really hit me was Jim Henson. Many an episode of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and Muppet Babies baby sat me during my formative years. On a side note, I was so traumatized by The Dark Crystal as a kid (skeksis were not my thing), that I didn’t watc…
There have been a few over the years that have rattled me, but I have to start with Leonard Nimoy. He was older to be sure, but as much as I admired him in life, the stories that came out from his friends and castmates after his passing only strengthened that. It was then that I heard the story about him sticking up…
The first one that really got to me was Aaliyah. Her music was fun, though it wasn’t really my style. But when she died, it really sent me on a loop in a way that was surprising.
Disney/Marvel is never going to bring back the Punisher at this rate.
I mean, apparently he did ask them not to play clips of him acting/singing and then they played clips of him acting/singing.
Also, it sounds like she’s being... very childish about a fucking chair? Like... He is quite tall and pretty swole. If him standing up suddenly is in the script, it’s not his fault production didn’t secure the goddamn chair. She is COMPLAINING ABOUT PHYSICS.
I take exception to the idea that Adam Driver should have to respond to any of this. If, for whatever reason, there’s a total bullshit story out there about him, why should he have to dignify it even with denial? (Except for the current hellscape we live in where, thanks to social media, average Joe believes he is…
I enjoyed that Mick Fleetwood TikTok, thank you.
There was also Steny, shaming his GOP colleagues for their silence:
I love that podcast! “Storms make trees take deeper roots.”
Yeah - no. There can be redemption for a lot of things and the sexual abuse and exploitation of children are not one of them. This doubly true for a publication that claims it wants to allow folks to reenter society and give a voice to the marginalized. There are black and brown folk that have been jailed for years…
