As a Latino seeing trailers like this warms my heart so much knowing that my future child will grow up seeing themselves on screen. I really can’t put it into words it just brings me so much joy. I damn near cried watching the trailer just thinking about that. Keep them coming Disney and I’ll keep watching them.

My wife and I love renfaires. We built one into her birthday weekend a few years ago and took the whole family. Her brother thought hey, I have this perfectly good bacon costume, why not wear it?

The Bene Gesserit’s Missionaria Protectiva — essentially a form of the Campbellian* monomyth designed to keep the Sisters from being harmed on potentially hostile planets — is Herbert’s parody of the Foundation. Where Asimov believed that fake religions could be used to control the masses and guide them to order and…

My point was less, “Will you be able to understand the beats of this story?” and more, “Would you care at all?” I mean, like I said, I am digging the absolutely hell out of it, but I feel like the target audience is pretty niche.

That’s fascinating. I’m under the impression that the wide majority high school students in Japan speak English in the same way that high school students in America speak French, which is to say absolutely terribly.

Sometimes a dumb movie nails being dumb and that is exactly why people love it. I’ve heard people say the same thing about Pineapple Express and while every singly criticism is true I just don’t see how it matters when the movie’s only goal was to be mindless entertainment for inebriated adults and it absolutely nails…

For me, what’s enjoyable about the movie is the ridiculous “superheroes” and how much they suck - a man who gets angry and doesn’t transform or anything, a guy who throws forks, and a guy with a shovel. Like, that’s the main trio and they add a guy who can fart, a guy who can become invisible when nobody is watching,…

NPH socks look like electronic resistor bands.

Yellow, blue, brown, white = 470Ω at 0% (undefined) tolerance.

Sad but not totally surprising, since they both have such distinctive creative voices and seem to know what they want to do early on in their projects (both Fleabag and Atlanta are remarkably assured from the jump).  Like Scorsese making a movie with the Coens, you both want to see it and kind of understand why it…

I could be mistaken, but I think that’s a tribute to Gordon Liu in The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.

Always a good time to remind folks that the Puritans fled England because they were fucking insane and no one in England wanted to deal with them.

CRT bears a striking similarity to the Salem witch trials. Don’t like someone? Declare them a witch/CRT teacher and ruin their life. Then the victim must stand before the tribunal of completely objective and fair minded community leaders to prove their innocence or be burned at the stake.

I find your lack of faith of the heart disturbing.

When a fertile starship prepares to warp, its third nacelle grows turgid and emerges from its sheath, springing forth to enter the slipstream.

A giant Janeway? Good god, the Tuvixes of the galaxy must be shitting their pants in terror.

I want giant Janeway.

It’s a fantasy world, so maybe a little of both. Mostly literal in a world that has literal magic, several races of immortal beings, and god-like beings walking the earth in earlier ages which sets up the War of the Ring.

Black people living throughout America experience racism. Members of other minority groups can be racist, too. Racism against Black people is not limited to Red states. Hatred of Black people is not limited only to certain cities, like Salinas. Racism is not new and it didn’t begin with the election of Donald J.…
