Have to agree with you about Garland’s body of work. In nearly every single work, he raises intriguing, even vital questions, but then always resolves them with violence, and usually violence without any sound thought driving it beyond pessimism and nihilism. I’m okay with that in Dredd; I’m very much not okay with…

Why does every opinion at this site suck so hard now

“why yes esteemed members of the city building control board, it absolutely IS necessary to install such enormous servomotors, gears, and hydraulic lifts within the structure of this building. and yes, the greeting sculpture does look somewhat like a giant sword protruding from the ground, but nashville’s skyline…

McMuffins are a pile of Infinity Stones strewn thoughtlessly amid the debris of a desk drawer.

Holy legendary cartoonists brought to animated life, Batman! I would have never even imagined someone would want to make animation in the style of the inimitable Arnold Roth in the year of our lord 2023 - and featuring Bats and Robs, no less!  It’s a near perfect recreation of Roth’s incredibly distinctive artwork,…

And I was under the impression (and in furious agreement) that the generally agreed upon ranking of the Poirots is as follows: Suchet is no-contest the best, Branagh is meh, Finney is really weird and entertaining but in no way Poirot, and Ustinov absolutely blows.

Sam left to go take it sleazy elsewhere.

I’m still waiting for the return of Frasier’s first wife, Nanny G (played amazingly by Emma Freaking Thompson). Still can’t believe she ever even guest starred on Frasier.

Just a slob, like one of us

Just discovered the other day that the waitress who thanks The Avengers at the end of their titular team debut is Ashley Johnson.

He’s just stupid.

SEE THE TURTLE OF ENORMOUS GIRTH

Real talk: he’s always like this.

It did seem like they went out of their way to make the hackiest, tackiest Times Square tourist-bait trash possible (even as someone who loves musicals, “Save the City” is utterly excruciating and I hope I never hear it ever again).

I think the most helpful way to look at the rise and decline of the MCU is to look back on the source: the history of Marvel Comics. Starting with FF #1, Marvel started telling these grounded-yet-fantastical tales that captured reader’s imaginations and lifted the company out of mediocrity. They rolled out hit after…

Cool World fails because it’s Bakshi.  Bakshi is the fucking worst.

This is a fantastic video going into the creation of the score for Akira.

If you’re an old school Who fan, definitely give Capaldi a shot.  He’s easily the newDoc most like the oldDocs, his run largely dispenses with the creepy pseudo-romantic Doctor/companion relationships, and there are a bunch of cool, campy, legit weird stores in there. 

I’m not jumping in here specifically in defense of this movie. I am definitely jumping in here in defense of movie watching, and movies in general. So, to put it bluntly: if your movie watching experience did not involve your full attention (so, so common now, with phones and other distractables everywhere, and the…

Ah, I wasn’t aware of Sadie Sink becoming huge (other than her massive profile raise in the last season), though it seems inevitable as she’s very good. I didn’t even count MBB, as she’s already ascended to “bankable box office draw” level of fame and is no longer a mere actor.
