I don’t think she is supposed to own it, she just gets to wear it for this event.

I’m calling it now that Hathaway is in on the whole heist from the beginning.

I expected to be...fine as well, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was more like “hey, pretty good!”. They were very smart about what they cut and what they changed, and I think they got about the best possible movie they could have gotten out of that book (and it turns out that’s a pretty all right movie).

Don’t even get me started on how often the Golden Gate bridge is used to show a character going between Berkeley/Oakland and San Francisco...

Yeah, gun to my head I don’t think I could pick which was which out of a lineup...

But I guess superheroes don’t count here? Even Dr. Strange.

Yeah, the more I think about this the more it works surprisingly well. Like “Kids, what ya gonna do with these kids today” all slow and creepy to slow motion carnage of teenagers chopping each other to pieces.

Sure, I don’t mind the “spoiled child” part, but after having his ego stripped down and rebuilt he’s...still a moron who can’t add 2 and 2 together without a calculator/direct confession from the villain. Anyway, that’s enough words on “Shitty Hamlet”...

If by “more like Legion” you mean “more awesome”, I’m all for it.

Yeah, but I’m a little put off that the note is “more scary”. I really really don’t want Eli Roth’s New Mutants...

Let’s change it up and do a slow version of “Kids” from “Bye Bye Birdie”.

Isn’t this, like, the plot of the first 50-odd episodes of Welcome to Nightvale? :P

The Lion King is the only Disney movie I left actually being angry. Simba is a completely unlikable character at every point in his arc from spoiled child to unfathomably dimwitted adult who has zero agency in what is ostensibly his own story.

Bad take. Nothing is worse than Lion King. “Let’s take one of the seminal works of Western Literature and make it shittier in every possible way.” The opening 8 bars of music are great, and it’s literally all downhill from there.

Evil Lincoln! I told you to get rid of that evil!

I am weary of this trope. Like most pithy sayings, it sounds nice, but it’s not really correct. You are a customer. Information about your demographics and interests is the *price* you are paying for the product. Now, it turns out that you’ve been paying more than you thought (e.g. with data about friends), and I…

Please stop all the terrible buns.

I mean, that would be a good thing for Last Week Tonight to do, but I’m 99.99% sure that Oliver’s book and surrounding publicity has increased sales of the Pence book significantly. Last I heard they were 1st/3rd on the Amazon best seller list. Would a cute-but-forgettable “bunny-in-the-white-house” book have made it…

Ha. That’s great. A friend of mine used to do the same thing routinely with When a Man Loves a Woman...

Lol @”some neolibs”. Like literally name one. Zuck, his immediate family and anyone on his payroll notwithstanding.
