I think "foreign-language movie" is a phrase with certain connotations. It's a movie that comes from another culture, not just a movie written in English by a white guy who paid some professors to translate it into Aramaic or whatever.

The secret ingredient in my secret ingredient soup is hilariously incompetent fraud

Is this another time where I get to talk about how the 1997 film version of George of the Jungle is actually an overlooked feminist masterpiece?? Because in that film, a competent, experienced woman wearing sensible clothes finds a gorgeous, semi-nude virginal man-child in the jungle, takes him back to New York,…

Which Brautigan are you thinking of? I can't think of a sex scene he has written that wasn't supposed to be disconcerting or off-putting, or calling attention to some of the absurdities of sexuality at some level…

Your problem is that Blenheim should always be watered down with bourbon and a little lime juice.

I tried to upload a copy of Tootsie to my HooToo, but I ended up getting charged with genocide? 1 star would not recommend.

Mike, good to see you. Let's get these stills done so you can get back to saving the word, okay? I'm thinking full body shot, show the people what they came here for!

Except this argument has been made basically forever about nearly every advancement in media technology. Socrates was against the technology of written language because it was going to make memorizing epic poetry obsolete and therefore make people dumber. But obviously, that was wrong. Society has advanced hugely…

Mountain Man is amazing. Sylvan Esso is good, but Made the Harbor was pretty much a flawless album and I wish they would put out another one.

Coral snake bites are especially dangerous because they bite so rarely (and their venom is so different from that of other common US snakes), it isn't profitable for corporations to manufacture coral snake antivenom. The last company stopped production in 2003. So if you get envenomated, you have to just hope you…

If this thread has taught us anything, it is that "slam poet impression" and "Christoper Walken impression" are impossible to distinguish in written media.

How much sexier could this movie be?

I hear that the Isle of Dogs is actually a peninsula.

Shut down your computer, talk a short walk through a park or nature preserve, tell your loved ones how important they are to you.

2017

Yeah, try it sometime! It's all like "SPLOOSH… Ploosh… oosh…"

No, jerking off in an echo chamber is actually much more fun and productive than reading HuffPo(st).

I would have watched a two hour film of that party at the Avengers headquarters at the beginning of the movie. Everyone has their own low-key plot arcs, like Captain America has to go get ice, Tony keeps getting progressively drunker, Thor and Banner make stupid bets with each other. Maybe some evil robots show up…

I thought it was just a bad case of Simpsons Jaundice.

There are a fair number of people who don't feel like they comfortably fit in strict gender binaries and prefer that people use "they/them" when referring to them. So as much as I always love loudly criticizing other people's grammar on the internet, this is a situation where you actually may end up criticizing a…
