Maybe so. Just sayin’ I’ll wait for it to hit a smaller screen in the dank shadows of my hovel and watch it whilst wrapped in my tattered blanky munching on garbage snaks and lukecool semi-flat soda.

Oh my god. Please do all movies. I never go out to see movies, and now I won’t have to pretend I know what they are about when normal people talk about them!

I love these posts. Joanna: do you get credit for secondary add views because I’ve shown like 10 people the last one on the same computer and I feel like I’m cheating you.

These are wonderful, and Joanna needs to do one for all of the movies.

a 17-year-old high school senior who urged lawmakers to take action on gun control following the shooting, “was heavily coached on lines and is merely reciting a script.”

‘I don’t understand why people like this.’

“...studio execs made the preposterous assumption that a black action film wouldn’t do well globally.”

Being in a test audience seems cool, but sometimes it can have a negative affect on the experience:

The thing that bothered me a bit was the message, namely that disabled/flawed people must either live alone, or face the reality they’ll have to marry a fish.

Sure the sexy fish thing is strikingly unusual, but outside of that, this plot has been done with aliens and animals in various forms.

I’ll just say I saw this movie yesterday and cried like a baby and everyone should see it. It’s beautiful and strange and satisfying and not your typical Oscar bait yawn fest.

Also, the heroes are a woman with a disability, a black woman, and a gay man and the villain is basically a stand-in for toxic white…

There are two kinds of people: those who would have sex with the Fish Man, and those who are lying to themselves

If it’s not dangerous to remove the plug then why does that hole look so shocked?
