Taco Bell arrives at a clever, previously unconsidered concept: getting a liquor license?

Maybe the soundtrack is all Usher. Every episode.

Hell yeah. Blade II is cool, but the first one holds up in every way that isn’t the CG. It’s a great vampire movie, but also one of the best superhero movies, full stop, which says a lot since like 100 more have come out since 1998.

My reading of both BR and BR2049 is that the question of “whether Deckard is a replicant” is actually a question of personhood or subjectivity subsumed and erased by capitalism.

Hard agree about Prometheus. They’re both flawed movies, but Prometheus looks incredible and was far more ambitious about the kind of mythology it was depicting.

So, this is pretty much what I’m talking about: you don’t have to like anything he does, but all of your counter-arguments here aren’t arguments. “He’s shitty and stupid and his films have no point. His movies are bad and look bad and are bad.” Like, ok? Stop watching them, that’s fine. I don’t particularly like half…

All I know is this: although Donald Trump has a history of bragging about sexual assault and surrounds himself with men who mistreat and sexually assault women and has been repeatedly photographed with prolific child sex traffickers and has been documented bribing porn stars for their silence and was literally found…

Yeah, I totally get hating Snyder’s weird toxic fanbase, but he personally doesn’t deserve the extreme snark and hate that most AVC articles and 90% of commenters provide. He’s a visually interesting filmmaker whose storytelling style is stilted and divisive, but who treats his cast and crew with extreme respect and…

I’m convinced most of this discourse comes from how stylized her introduction ended up being. She pops up out of nowhere, with an ethereal glow in the freezer aisle, framed insanely closely with no other context provided. It feels dreamlike, like something Carmy is experiencing subjectively, and that makes her seem ver…

“In some thermodynamic construct millions of lightyears from Zrrjt’lkt, some sapient carbon-beast could be casting its thought-notions into their own QzTrClub repository to complain about yet another goddamn Superpowered Gas Cloud story. Expel the ZkSny’dor Gas Experience, you cowards!”

Agreed that the scale of the universe and the inconceivable distances between interstellar objects makes the notion of any alien civilization reaching us nearly impossible.

Eh. Plenty of characters, upon contemplation, have powers that’d totally destabilize everything if you took it half-seriously. The answer is that it doesn’t matter and never did, because overpowered characters lead to boring conflicts, strength doesn’t make characters interesting, and Marvel is in the business of…

Ay, that Sean O’Connery, spritely leprechaun of a man, pride o’ Dublin. Finest Irish actor there ever was, who never set a Riverdancin’ foot in Scotland.

“Sound the alarm, patriots! Look at these numbers! Look at how many more Republicans COVID killed and tell me the Deep State isn’t targeting us!

Well, you see, you can’t rape an object. If you wholly deny the personhood of women, you don’t *have* to legalize rape. Of course, if the woman’s father didn’t give the go-ahead, well, that’s probably something. Trespassing, destruction of property maybe. Misdemeanor at least.

The sentiment at the core of it is all fear-based. A “small town” is, implicitly, a safe town. A predictable town. Also likely a homogeneous, familiar, unchanging town. The romantic fantasy is that, despite the scary uncertainty and complexity of life anywhere else, there’s still a place that feels safe and…

I just love the absurd insecurity. Dude paid $44B for this vs. trying to start a new service for a fraction of that price, because he wanted Twitter’s userbase and Twitter’s established brand.

“One Man, 20 Daughter-Wives! Who will Craster keep, and who’ll be taken by the Others? This season, on Wildling Wedding: Incest is Best...”

Likewise Event Horizon, which is even more of a haunted house; Alien is kind of a slasher movie once they leave LV426.

Yeah, this doesn’t sound like negligence, it sounds like the parents made a mistake and instantly tried to correct it.
