I also have power of attorney for my mother, in case there’s a medical emergency and I have to make decisions for her. It hasn’t happened but it COULD happen. EVERYONE should have stipulated at least a medical directive in legal writing or at least a living will and told that person what their responsibilities are and…

I would have agreed with you about the cast until Milva showed up.

He didn’t get his job for his brains.

I’ve been checking out of recent Marvel stuff but I am also excited.

I remember before the finale people were theorizing, “Oh they’re going to introduce Kang” and I thought it was Mephisto all over again.

When Jonathan Majors’ face appeared I had a different reaction than Marvel wanted me to have.

This is how it starts.

Tom Cruise doesn’t appear in movies as his current age.

This was better than the article it’s commenting on.

They de-age him to play whatever Ethan Hunt’s current age is.

If there’s anything men are totally comfortable with admitting in public and on record, it’s that they were raped.

They definitely picked the least sketchy part of Venice Beach to film in.

They need an issue to get people riled up about so that they can demonize Democrats and make people ignore the fact that their political policies are toxic and would hurt the country. But if you’re really upset at a nebulous concept like “groomers” or “child trafficking” you’re going to vote for…

I mean if musicians were that selective, there wouldn’t be that many places to tour.

It’s definitely something that you miss when you visit as a tourist, and it’s been building for over a decade now. I think Modi coming to the US was a turning point for American journalists and people who read serious newspapers. I remember first hearing about the massacre when Modi was governor or something and my…

In all fairness, the Indian government does try to hide how right wing it has become.

I know this is gonna sound wild but I prefer to see movies AFTER opening weekend.

MCU moves are at least internally consistent and watchable. On the occasion that I was a DC movie, ten minutes in I remember, “Oh right, these are really bad.” Like, unnecessarily bad. The lighting is bad. The cinematography is bad. The script is bad. The acting is all over the place. The movies are never sure what…

To be fair, how would they know I’m not watching Netflix anymore?
