That “free hugs” line is very, very darkly funny.

This movie was terrific. Captured being a girl in middle school perfectly. Also, it was hilarious.

I think one white guy saying “I do not relate to this movie not about white guys” is not a good take. Then you either realize that 1. You are the wrong person to review this movie or 2. You are incapable of opening yourself up to the experiences of others who are different than you and please refer back to #1.

Almost as if they think a movie for children who haven’t heard the messages in it before needs to be less subtle than a movie intended for adults who can pick up on subtext!

I have nothing bad to say about Euphoria - it’s not really my cup of tea but plenty of people I know are really into it - but! I find it fascinating that this big hit that’s driving all kinds of cultural conversation is about teens having wild amounts of dangerous sex and drug use at a time when teens writ large are…

Was the reviewer one of the people quitting in March? Maybe they quit early. I have no idea.

The lack of recap has been driving me bananas.

But it’s still not noteworthy enough for the AV Club to review the season finale.

Probably an ominous portent of current events that studios didn’t think Americans could handle the word “Scientists” in a movie title back in 2012.

For any fellow international are confused, they’re talkjing about The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! which yes is utterly delightful. No idea why the USians distribution side decided to rename it, did they think it was too intellectual and so might put the plebs off?

Isn’t like 99% of the stuff we think about pirates all things people made up after the fact. Mostly from fictional books and movies. Like the whole “pirate talk” thing is almost entirely just an acting choice from when Disney made the movie of Treasure Island

Oh fuck, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier

Pirates! Band of Misfits is absolutely delightful as mentioned.   

What We Do On The High Seas

Trading cards were still big back then, and I remember trying to collect as many of the Batman ones as possible to try and piece together what the movie would be about.

“And that impact lives on, too. I went to Wondercon a few years back, and the cosplayers of the day showed up fully decked out as Joker and his goons. Outfits, hats, boom box blasting ‘Party Man’, all of it. They made their entrance into the con hall in the very same style as Jack and his goons had while walking into…

“He’s also wildly charismatic. The Joker is a known murderer who killed a mob boss in broad daylight in front of cameras, and he’s also a suspected terrorist in possession of chemical weapons. But throngs of Gotham citizens still clog the streets when the Joker shows up to throw money from a parade float. Nicholson…

This was the first movie I ever saw at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood (then known as Mann’s Chinese Theatre after Mann Theaters changed the name in 1973). I was 16, and really had no idea what to expect. I think it was one of the first places I ever drove on my own, as well, having gotten my license and my first car…

I just rewatched the first three movies this past weekend, and boy oh boy do the first two hold up (I couldn’t even IMAGINE the BDSM intense sexual psychodrama of Batman Returns ever being made today). And I had a thought, which lines from all three first movies kinda leaned towards. It seems on first viewing that…
