I Care a Lot also has one of my favorite movie trailers I’ve ever seen.

Shit dude I can’t even imagine. Dems have taken the brown vote for granted for ever, and yet every election it’s “oh won’t the Black women save us from this new fresh evil?” and then it’s “thanks, now be quiet.”

I love me some Thunderdome. It’s just so weird at times--which I find super fun. It has to be the most quotable of the Mad Max movies.

This, unfortunately. A lot of people treat this as a one-or-the-other choice, but that’s ridiculously ahistorical. The list of US allies in the Middle East has always been short, and Israel has been on it since 1947. It’d be difficult to just toss that out of a window whatever they did this year in Gaza.

Sincere question: What should the US do? Cut Israel off and leave it alienated and its leaders even more paranoid than they are now? Israel has nuclear weapons. Iran may have them. Biden is trying to maintain a delicate balance between getting the Gaza genocide stopped and having Israel believe its only recourse is to …

Why do you think Lex Luther is mad

I mean, a more accurate headline would be “Miller never would have made Mad Max 2 if not for Peter Weir’s advice”. It would be pretty weird if Miller was still getting pep talks from a guy who hasn’t made a movie in almost 15 years.

Well, if he’s taking advice from someone who has directed some pretty fantastic films (my favorite being Master and Commander: The Far Side Of The World), then I think it may have a chance of being good! I hope so, anyway. 

It’s nuts. I have a hard time thinking of a movie like it - just 0-60 in terms of throwing out world-building ideas. I can’t say it’s a “good” movie, but it is unique and fun.

And sang by the star of the show.

It’s the closest thing we’ve got to a modern Snatch. I had fun with it 

Riddick as a superpowered prophecied space messiah is generally my least favourite Riddick, but after 20 years I figure I kinda want to see where they’re going with it.

You forgot the “/S”.

There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose newspaper told him to suck it
They did not approve
And told him to move
From public beach where he had stuck it

It also has the theme song of the show the movie seems to have forgotten until the end credits and the mid credit scene.

I kinda like that the Coens (or their hair/makeup person) went with it because it tempts you to laugh at him, until you see those cold shark-like eyes appraising you and that laugh gets stuck in your throat.

Ross has talked on pods about certain rostees who have got it in writing that certain things are off limits (Caitlyn Jenner would only go on the Alec Baldwin roast as long as no brought up her killing someone with her car) so I’d be willing to bet there was a ‘no Kraft massage jokes’ in this one but since it was live…

I was a lifelong Pats fan going back to before Bledsoe when they perennially sucked. Was thrilled with Brady and Belichick for obvious reasons until Deflategate, Spygate, and their going public with their MAGA leanings put the kibosh on my Pats fandom. All that coupled with the CTE scandal breaking led to me losing…

It’s like we learned nothing from “No Country For Old Men”

Right, so what exactly happened here? Presumably if someone can stop time, the whole benefit of doing so is that time doesn’t stop for you, meaning you don’t stop falling off the skyscraper you’re currently falling off of. If, for some extremely pointless reason, time also stopped for you, you very likely would stop…
