There were those rumours Sting killed a guy who lived in his building, but I think they were put to rest.

y’know, i had heard so much about this tv show and everyone raving about how great it was, so i decided to check it out one night (when it was still on). and...this was the episode that was on.
so yeah, it was a good reminder to take pop culture criticism with a huge grain of salt.

CK also had a really great bit about dating and what courage means to a man vs. what it means to a woman. Basically, a man had to work up the courage to ask out a woman, whereas a woman’s courage is in willingly taking a chance on going out with a man she doesn’t know, knowing full well that historically, the number…

“I’ve been silenced! And I’d like to thank the academy for this award....”

Man, I really wish Louis CK wasn’t a piece of shit. He really was a brilliant comedian and writer. Louie was really good, and Horace and Pete was fantastic as well. I can’t pretend he wasn’t one of the all-time greats, but I just can’t watch any of his stuff anymore knowing the other potentially blaze-setting voices…

Speaking as a trans woman, I think he’s saying the right things after far too long saying nothing. But also, that getting a cis actor to play a trans person going through transitioning isn’t necessarily the wrong choice.

Everything about that movie sounds made up.  Jesus.....

I like to imagine that Redmayne does every interview as a whisper yelling combo like his Jupiter ascending character.

“Susan Cooper’s The Dark Is Rising”

I hundred percent believe he was killed...

The AVClub: constantly, repeatedly asks for this

I don’t know if I’m ruining your day by telling you this, but Annabella Sciorria has spoken about how Gandolfini was very thoughtful as a scene partner when they were doing sex scenes as well as violent scenes, and she noted that this was not the norm in her experience; he was always checking with her about what he…

My favorite IRL Gandolfini story - terrible snow storm is coming down hard on an already-burried-in-the-snow NYC. A dude is trying to drive home safe and warm and gets stuck in ice and slush in Manhattan. Wheels spinning, going nowhere. All of a sudden the car starts rocking and dude sees a random guy pushing from…

‘Oh yeah, Tobey is playing Spider-Man.’ But you know who was on the cover of the second Spider-Man poster? Spider-Man and ME.”

It’s deeply flawed, but you can’t for second argue that Rent wasn’t massively influential on the Broadway musicals that followed.

[T]he assumption tends to be that there’s a knee-jerk, reactionary reason for it—whether elitist, obnoxious, or both... Whether it’s the MCU or Charlie Brown TV specials, admitting your ignorance is a special kind of way to open yourself up to vitriol in the social media age.

Of course it would. That’s what Capitalism is. To no one’s surprise, an infinite growth model isn’t sustainable.

Hate all you want, but googling shows both Netflix and Prime at about 200 million and most people projecting Disney+ at 250 - 300M by 2024. Maybe they are all wrong. Or maybe not.

They need to add the 1960s “Spider-Man” cartoon to their Marvel lineup - especially the Ralph Bakshi episodes.

would just like to take this moment to reflect on how widely and completely hated andy samberg was when this show premiered, and how through 8 years he appeared to charm pretty much everyone. excited to see where he lands next.
