A lot is residual Olivia Munn hatred. A lot.

Bring back OG Jezebel

Jez was BUILT on this and for this.

Yo FUCK John Mulaney and FUCK Olivia Munn. They’re pieces of shit who publicly danced on the grave of this woman’s marriage.

Good on her for taking the high road and living her best life.

I look forward the inevitable Jez article dissecting the remains of Mulaney

I’m glad Tendler is finding the time and space to express herself and make silly videos, and I hope she gets a jillion followers, meets someone new, and is fabulously happy (same goes for Munn and Mulaney.) 

Of course Paul following his own way starts a multiplanetary jihad causing billions of deaths, but hey! At least they weren’t following the sinister she-Jesuits!

The best part of the book comes right at the end, where Paul turns to the mysterious ancient cult who’s been manipulating his whole rise to power, and tells them “You know what? Fuck you. You’ve ruined countless lives for this plan of yours, and I’m not going to follow your script anymore.” Having first read the book

Agreeing with needle.hacksaw here. The earlier Castlevanias are largely not what you’re looking for, with the exception of Castlevania II. The Castlevania Advance Collection, however, I can highly recommend. The three GBA Castlevania games are still a blast to play.

Small potatoes for an IP that borrows so much from Alien. 

Are we still not talking about how the robot is a copy of the robot A.M.E.E. from Red Planet? They used a similar naming convention.

What I love about the original film, apart from the fact that most of the Cenobite scenes involve them walking very slowly towards camera in the style of a 30's zombie picture, is that it can’t seem to decide if it’s set in England or not, in spite of being obviously shot there. I think the sequels settled on

Do you even Bond, bro?

Brosnan’s portrayal of Bond was the most “Bond” portrayal to date. The article calls it a compromise but I see it as a synthesis of everything good the previous actors brought to the role. He has the no-nonsense approach to his work from Connery’s bond, contrasted (but not overshadowed by) with Moore’s expert delivery

Nothing against this article, but this is definitely a “for my consideration” and veers super-heavily into YMMV territory. The success of the Bond formula seems to be that each entry (or lead) refracts back the feelings of the movie-goers at that time, through the lens of spy derring-do. And the Bond actor aligns with

I’ve said this many times, but each of Brosnan’s films had a central idea at its core that tried to do something new and cool within the Bond formula:

I’m with you on all but the invisible car. I only need maybe 0.1% believability in anything that happens in a Bond film, but the invisible car dropped way below that level. Plus it’s just not a very good film.

Brosnan, the ultimate in-betweener, is seemingly considered almost nobody’s favorite.

This guy gets it. 🤘

If you don’t want to see Bond use the roof of his rocket sled to windsurf an arctic tidal wave caused by a glacier collapsing due to a satellite laser from space chasing him across the ice, do you even really want to see a Bond movie?

Now playing

The World Is Not Enough is my favorite of the Brosnan films, mainly because it lets us see the rage beneath Bond’s cool exterior, which makes him a little less cool but about a million times more interesting. Sure, it has the utterly ridiculous casting of Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist named Dr. Christmas Jones

You do know the Soviet Union hasn’t been around for, um, 30 years now, and if anything, they’re a bigger bunch of right wing plutocrats than the Americans?
