Same! It’s an oddly satisfying feeling. I went to film school...learned that, for whatever reason, there was an impenetrable boundary between the shit I enjoyed writing and getting people to enjoy my writing...and then fell backwards into editing. Now I have a pretty good career in that field, it’s still fairly…

I was a teenager in the late 90's / early 00's, so I was only there for a brief window of time when it was still uncool to be into nerdy shit like D&D or comics. That all changed with (in my opinion) the 1-2 punch of comic book movies suddenly crushing it at the box office, and the debut of the Cute Nerd character on…

Way more teenagers think anime is cool now than in previous generations. This will happen again for sure.

I have to imagine that a previous action scene has wounded the lion enough for this to be even remotely plausible.

I mean, it’s all pretty clearly tax write-offs and quick cash-outs for Zaslav and his cronies. There’s absolutely no comprehensible business decision behind this that’s about building a library of content...they’re setting fire to it and claiming the insurance, and leaving the ashes in their wake. They’re not people,…

His letter actually continues to include this: “I usually cringe at letters or statements like this but I understand that I am of the privileged few who can afford to take time off. I won’t lose my job while working on my anxiety. With this letter and with ‘Stutz,’ I’m hoping to make it more normal for people to talk…

That’s just it, if we’re polling the whole world, that includes a lot of people who’ve stopped watching movies and TV or listening to music. But they probably remember seeing him on a cover of People magazine at a checkout aisle.

He most certainly is among the most famous men alive...to the growing subsection of consumers that matter more than us. But if every age group were added together, nah I’m not sure he’d crack the top ten. It would be full of people like The Rock or Will Smith.

99% of the time, when new management comes in, they shelve everything their predecessor did because it is all one gigantic dick-swinging contest. Only their stuff can be successful, not the asshole who was in this chair before. But this is taking it to a whole ‘nother level, almost as if Zaslav has a grudge to settle…

Eh, Season 5 had some good ones. I liked the snake one, for example, and thought they brought the whole Evil Morty thing to as reasonable of a close as one could.

And not only that, he kinda held his own tap-dancing next to Gregory Hines. Gregory Hines!

I thought Turning Red was an absolute treat, but maybe it’s because I saw it with streaming-colored glasses on (glasses that are colored in a way that make you expect the worst straight-to-Netflix bullshit, so you’re pleasantly surprised when it’s good).

Road House is pretty specifically a coked-out trashy 80's flick redeemed in its entirety by Swayze’s whole aura, and how perfectly dialed-in he is. Obviously Gazzara and Elliot bring something special to it as well, but it doesn’t work in a modern context at all.

In the future, I’ll probably revisit Season 3's episodes a lot more. Really incredible stuff in there. Just glad it wasn’t the last season.

The one with Snowball is generally the one I show to people, but Total Rickall is the best IMO.

Gonna need to hear the actor playing Pinocchio say “FAAATHER, when can I leave to be on my own? I’ve got the whole wooorld to see...” just for comparison.

Even the whole “oooh, he even KILLS people” angle looks weak as hell in the trailer. He smashes a jet wing and the pilot is quickly seen escaping on a parachute like it’s a Saturday morning cartoon. He tosses another dude who would, presumably, die from that, but it’s funny. And if a bunch of bad guys are shooting at…

I would assume the reasoning is “This white-as-fuck website deserves this explanation and this explanation only.”

It’s a narrative that an obnoxious but not-at-all surprising number of online fanboys would love to push, as well. Too woke, too gay, too agenda-driven, etc. God I wish the internet could be taken away for an entire school year, just so they could accidentally say their little talking points in class and get a nice “sh…

Never read Sandman, and I have to say all the marketing is doing a fantastic job of not actually telling me what the story is. It looks incredible, of course, and the series is so important to a lot of people that I’ll give it a shot. But everything so far has mostly been people saying the word “dream” in different…
