How is there not a paragraph dedicated to Peak Kirstie Alley? I mean damn... (she was a highly competent teacher in the movie as well)

A while back someone mentioned that if you make your browser about half the size of your screen it puts all the text on one page that you don’t have to click through over and over again, and I wish I could remember who it was so that I could thank them over and over again!

Also: Hitmen is surprisingly good, I thought

Ugh. So sick of framing like “hyper-partisanship, and hateful rhetoric on both sides”, when the reality is that with the two parties it’s like if two people were deciding where to go out to dinner and one said “I’m feeling like Italian, maybe?” and the other said “I will only accept anthrax and gravel” and then

i would love it if cliff martinez scored the simpsons and friends.

I feel like it really had potential, but then they just made all the Muppets mean and selfish and it made no sense

Am I the only one who would really dig just a revival of the classic Muppet Show variety show style show? This looks fun but just imagine an hour long variety show with Danny Trejo as the guest?

I have this sad thought that in a generation or three, when they are reading the obituary of Maisie Williams, who died peacefully at the age of 99, surrounded by her beloved family and friends, the final sentence of the piece will be ‘The New Mutants is scheduled for release early next year....’

Autumn 2029.

I love Alison Brie but I don’t think I can tolerate an hour and a half of her being terrified and saying “Hello?” into seemingly empty rooms.

That’s funny, on the first Cursed write up a few of us mentioned Mists of Avalon and I commented on being disappointed that the avclub writer didn’t seem more familiar with women centered fantasy as a sub genre:https://tv.avclub.com/1844418494

I wanted so badly to like this show, because articles like this make it sound like the definition of My Shit. But it’s honestly terrible. It’s rare that I can’t force myself to finish a season of genre trash, but by episode 2 it was already like pulling teeth (yes that’s an in joke to prove I did give it a chance!)

They’re DOGS! And they’re playing POKER! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHA

It’s been a long time since I read the first one, was the first half of the first book just a bunch of idiots saying, “Pfft, fake news” and going outside without blindfolds?

Now playing

Err, yeah, I mean you can definitely draw new comparisons as AKIRA being about the future of the world but the film is absolutely not shy about its pretext being the bombing of Hiroshima/Nagasaki, the American Occupation (and the Japanese government’s collusion in keeping secret any wrongdoings), and the failure of

I had the same reaction to this review. I remember finding Stephen Lawhead’s “Pendragon” series and being like “Oh, hey, Arthurian stuff from a male perspective. That takes me back.” “A retelling of ‘[insert any very old, famous story here],’ but from the female perspective” has been pretty stock for ages. Thanks for

I’m sorry but I just don’t see how a story written by Frank Miller would understand that strange women, lying in ponds, and distributing swords is not the basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power comes from the mandate of the masses. Not some farcical aquatic ceremony. You can’t claim to wield supreme

You understand Native Americans still exist right? They aren’t a dead civilization you can dismiss because you’re shitty education system taught you cowboys killed them all 100+ years ago.

I’ll admit that the moment when the review claimed that strong female characters are a hallmark of Miller’s work, I stared at the screen stunned for a long while. Like that is a ridiculously hot take.

Babylon 5, seasons 3 & 4.
