When I was in grade school in the 1970s, our school chorus did songs from the Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine” in our performances. Kids singing pop songs of earlier decades isn't new.

I genuinely thought he might quit*. I was like 90% sure that it was some long con to prove people liked him a lot so NBC would renew The Apprentice and that he really wanted to be president. Hell, part of me still feels like if NBC offered him a TV show he might drop out even now. Like not to play armchair…

If Biden runs I will absolutely vote for him, because look at the alternative.

This is me too. I genuinely thought that other people in the government would reign him in. I had no idea things would get derailed so fast and he would ignore or fire everyone who disagreed with him, install stupid psychos on the SC, and mishandle the shit out of a generational pandemic.

Exactly - the choice between “old man who’s not all there” and “proudly evil old man who’s not all there” should really be an easy one.

Additionally, I never had the feeling in 2016 that if Trump lost his supporters would try a fucking armed coup.

Possibly unpopular take?: It doesn’t feel like 2016 again, because IIRC there was a general sense then that of course Trump wouldn’t actually win and even he seemed surprised that he did.

She literally has a “Mt. Crushmore” of all guys, including a video game character who plays a small part, and this is after the imaginary Canadian boyfriend of the last film. There’s no reasonable indication that Riley’s admiration of Val is anything other than a desire for new friends mixed with a bit of low-key hero…

They use the word friend so often and it's clearly about her fitting in, not being smitten.

It’s also weird to bring up that the movie isn’t about her experiencing that aspect of puberty when there’s a whole short called Riley’s First Date about it.

I was about to ask the same thing.  Love that they’re bringing back some old AVCLub, but they need to remember what site they’re currently on...

“Christ, you’re seriously planning to announce a cartoon version of Watchmen with a really ugly art style? When were you planning to do it?”

If you want a ship to happen and it doesn’t, then it’s automatically bait and it’s the filmmakers’ fault. Sorry, them’s the rules!

There hasn’t been a platonic friendship in movies that was safe from shipping since Kinderman and Dyer in Exorcist III.

My dear friend plays the woman the Villagers attempt to hang as a witch in the prologue of the movie.

I watched it a coupla years back and it’s a very weird movie tonally. You think it’s going to be nice and cozy and then there’s murder and necromancy all over the place.

Now I want to make a movie where that sound starts killing people. Just so the trailer can be confusing. 

Down.

I don’t really understand these posts, there was one yesterday on one of the other casting announcements. I’m not saying it’s a necessity to know these things but this is a pop culture website? Why the immediate desire to broadcast one’s ignorance? Ignorance is not a virtue.
