“The biggest lie in television history”

I hold particular personal disdain for Monsters University and Incredibles 2 because they make such boring broad story choices in such interesting worlds but I agree that it's not badly made

Another fundamental issue for me is their style is stale. At its core, every Pixar film has the same feel. The same movement of the characters. The same kind of mic drop humor where a character freezes and something plops to the ground. They can conjure anything they want, and they just repeat the same kinds of…

The Slipper and the Rose, for which the Sherman Bros. wrote the songs, is one of my underappreciated favorites. It’s an adaptation of Cinderella, and it’s not perfect, but their songs are all wonderful. I often get them stuck in my head. 

I’m more inclined to think we should he blaming editorial for this; there’s no way the demand for “content” covering this story wasn’t coming down from on high, IMO, and that’s the real source of this kind of trickle down toxicity. 

His and Ryan Gosling’s recent tonsorial moves indicate that 2024 is to men’s hair what 1980 was to pop music: Nobody knows what the hell they’re supposed to be doing.

What a bizarre critique. The special was funny;  like, really fucking funny. He revealed as much as he needed to in order to make the jokes work. Not every special needs to be doing some sort of Hannah Gadsby style confession.

Oh yeah, great episode. The ending is chilling. 

that ending is awesome

That episode haunted me for years

Well that just sounds sensible.

I remember that one! Immediately after seeing it I day dreamed about finding a time stopping pendant of my own.

That’s my favorite 80s Twilight Zone! That’s a Wes Craven episode, so it makes sense that I love it, but also the premise is pretty great

The fact that Radcliffe does weird, sometimes kind of fucked-up indie movies he finds interesting because he can afford to due to the financial safety cushion of his Potter money speaks nothing but well of him. Glad he’s doing something like the film the above image is from rather than “Christmas Prince” romcoms or…

He’s our preeminent farting corpse with hidden layers of depth!

and he’s great in the Weird Al movie!

Unlike him they don’t have a driver and have to get themselves home to get like 4 hours of sleep before they have to get up for the next day’s shoot. For 2-3 months straight. And then deal with the stress of the production being behind schedule all because one dude whose only job is to show up on time and say his lines…

I’m sorry, but what makes his take “edgelord”? Are all atheist takes edgelord?

Because the crew on the project then has to consistently work long days and skip lunch to accommodate him, which is not great for safety. 

I’m also in my 40s and a lifelong lover of all things theatrical—movies, plays, cabaret, even ballet. Opera has never captured my interest. I’ve been a handful of times and each time I want to love it, but I don’t. I think it’s a hard art form to connect to on an emotional level (at least for me, YMMV). In…
