Ah, yes, the Venture Brothers, famously not a direct ripoff of something.

There are only so many ways to rap in triplets.

One of the best things I’ve ever done for myself is read “How to be An Anti-Racist” by Ibram X. Kendi. It liberated me from the idea that there even was such a thing as “not racist.” You either have racist ideas, or anti-racist ideas, and everyone has at least some racist ideas because we’ve been raised in a culture…

God I just love him so much. He’s one of those that basically raised me on the TV and I hope he gets the Jeopardy gig permanently just so he’ll be on the TV every day, like he should be. 

People said the same thing about Stacey Abrams campaigning for VP, despite the fact she would have been a bonzer pick for the job.

Hmmm, I wonder why African-Americans get shit for campaigning for high profile jobs their eminently qualified for? What could it be?

My dude, they told me I wouldn’t get polio or the measles and I didn’t. Where’s the lie?

This video essay will give you a good idea if this is going to be your thing or not.

Yes, those are two movies that totally make sense to compare to each other. 

Don’t get it twisted, Andersson is pretty much only for the hardcore film school nerds (I count my myself among them). He just makes movie using the humor those dorks find funny.

Psst - the people that are ride or die for Citizen Kane aren’t because it’s all that interesting as a story. It’s because the camerawork, staging, and lighting are all next level brilliant.

I get it. Love Citizen Kane, but can’t sit through Pet Sounds. 

I don’t know where the idea that the Oscars hands out posthumous awards willy nilly comes from. Only two actors have won after they died: Peter Finch for Network and Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight and both would have won even if they’d lived to collect because they were the clear winners in their categories that…

I look forward to deciding against watching this on a plane.

Dear, God, please let me get on a plane somewhere soon. 

Yes. Absolutely yes. 

I love Holy Motors so much. Sign me the fuck up for this. 

The fact that he’s playing “god awful rock noise” is in no way an indication of inner peace or a lack thereof.

I don’t think Ruben had actually found peace at all in the beginning. The whole point was that both he and Lou were standing on a knife edge the entire time. They can get pretty comfortable with that kind of balancing act, but they were never at peace.

It’s not an accident that the first thing we hear is that God…

Your rankings are intriguing and I’d like to subscribe to your newsletter. Not because I agree with you, because everything you said up there is bonkers, but because I’d like to understand your reasoning. 

Please euthanize me if I ever become this type of old person. 

I think the better analog is Madonna. But really, everybody on the right, but especially the religious right, are marks, and somebody is always gonna come along to exploit them.
