All art is theft, man. Nothing is truly original. Ultimately everything is just derived from ancient mythology and folk tales and whatnot, if you go back far enough. Everything is inspired by something. And pastiche is a legitimate category of art/storytelling that’s been done successfully since time immemorial. Perhap…

Where has the marketing been for this movie? I only first heard of it earlier this week and thought it wouldn’t be out for months.

They did, didn’t they? There’s a shot of him turning back to the camera and winking while on a boat that’s been in every trailer and TV spot I’ve seen. The marketing made such a huge deal about his identity so I assumed it was someone else, or that it was an intentional redirect. I actually thought it might be Taylor…

Ah I see he’s from the Bill Burr school of “I’m going to claim I’m a liberal but also say conservative bullshit all the fucking time.”

Man, dude really thought he was on some galaxybrained shit with this “offensive jokes are actually representation” take LMAO

Chappelle’s appearance specifically aside (but, for real, what was he doing there??), I’ve been frustrated by SNL’s repeated insistence on centering sketches around celebrity cameos instead of on the host and players in recent years. The Gibb brothers sketch had almost nothing for Johnson or any of the cast members to…

I thought Godzilla Minus One was one of the dumbest movie titles I’ve ever heard, but Godzilla Minus One Minus Color absolutely bodies it.

I agree in principle but the big difference between colorizing and de-colorizing is that the former was almost always done without the filmmakers’ consent.

This is some truly bizarre casting. What a strange idea to cast actors who are a decade too young and still look like teenagers to play two grown men in the 70s when people generally looked a lot older for their age than they do now.

I totally disagree. IMO one of Killers’ greatest strengths was its supporting cast, especially all the musicians with limited acting experience like Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Pete Yorn, and Charlie Musselwhite. I think all the Native actors, Jesse Plemons, Brendan Fraser, John Lithgow, and Pat Healy turned in…

It’s funny in retrospect how much hand-wringing there was about putting her up for Lead instead of Supporting. On this very site, there were dozens of comments about how she had no chance because of her lack of screen time when the news was announced. 

Couldn’t disagree more about the pacing. It absolutely did not feel like 3 1/2 hours to me. There’s not one wasted scene, shot, or line of dialogue in the whole movie.

Obviously I’m taking a silly joke way too seriously here, but it did raise my eyebrows a bit that the first city she shouted out was Derry, a city that is very famously not in the Republic of Ireland and even more famously doesn’t want to be a part of the Republic of Ireland. I have to wonder if The Irish Times’…

The Sopranos Effect is still ruining endings to prestige dramas to this day. Showrunners since have been absolutely terrified of not tying up every possible loose end and completely abandon any sort of ambiguity so as to not piss off audiences like the Sopranos did. FWIW, the final scene is far and away my favorite…

But why? Why does every televised awards show need to be the People’s Choice Awards? The Globes, Oscars, Emmys, and any other major film/TV award you can think of are supposed to be about industry people honoring industry people. That’s why they were created and why they continue to exist. This is why basically ANY…

Here ya go.

SOS came out in 2022; why is it on this list? Great album but you’re a year late.

Agreed, Willie Jack really came into her own in the final season. Her scenes with Lily Gladstone’s character were some of the most moving, heartbreaking scenes I’ve seen in recent memory.

At what point do we consider this stuff the buyer’s responsibility? People talk about this as if the customers are, like, forced into buying shitty games and are somehow victims. If you can’t take 2 minutes to read reviews for a game you’re about to drop $40 on, then you clearly have more money than sense and I just…

What do you mean we have a company called GameMill now? They’ve been around for over 20 years. They very famously published Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing in 2003.
