NO STAIRWAY

The handling of Harry’s relationship with Meghan really has been a spectacular own goal for the royal family. They would’ve been able to point to Harry and Meghan as a sign of the new, modern monarchy without actually having to do anything new and modern if they could’ve been slightly less assholish. Instead, Harry’s…

Yeah... I’m going to be set on fire and banned forever for this, and I’m saying it anyway.

Question: when did Angelina Jolie become the second coming of the Virgin Mary?

Maybe social media isn’t for you if you’re upset about what an actress's PA liked for her.

I get a good laugh from the A.V. Club being like “Are the Golden Globes even relevant anymore?” to full coverage of the Golden Globes on the night of. That’s peak A.V. Club. I really hope we see an article about Brendan Fraser tomorrow, that would be the cherry.

It feels weird to have sympathy for a guy literally born to royalty, but I’ve seen enough family drama to understand that this dude escaped an absolutely toxic life. He’s going to be fine financially where so many others aren’t, but the damage is the same. Realizing that the people closest to you are vicious pack of…

I’m really hoping they do better creting a good mystery the second season. The first really was a mess--but I liked spending time with all the characters and all those actors. 

Hmm thanks! I do like the lead (due to the Americans, ofc) so maybe that and the aesthetic are enough to give it a try.

The most hilarious, and most on-brand, being the reveal that Johnson demanded the studio set up a tequila bar focused on his celebrity vanity tequila Teremana at the Black Adam premiere—even though the film itself was PG-13.

Your periodic reminder that Vin Diesel got fired off of Reindeer Games in the late 90’s because he refused to take his shirt off because, and I quote, “I only show my guns in Vin Diesel pictures.”

I don’t think the Rock is a candy-ass, he’s just an arrogant fuck.  I mean, he created a show called Young Rock, about his childhood, but he is still starring in it!  

In fairness, despite the articles weak attempts at snark, what the Rock does is take middlebrow, non-franchise, $50-150m films, and get them to $300-500m in the box office on his name alone.

I kind of only care about her plot at this point in the show. I guess the point is that Eisenberg is a lot more of a misogynist than he realizes, but yeesh is his character getting exhausting.

I mean.... to me it’s just a different kind of executive grift. He’s the goodest Good Cop we’ve seen out of there, but at the end of the day ACAB, know what I mean, Vern?

Variety and THR generally don’t fall for that kind of crap -- and cut off sources that try it. That’s why they’re Variety and THR.

It’s like if the head of Disney literally collected the six Infinity Stones and used them to wipe out half of all Marvel movies as a tax write-off.

I really think that the Warner Discovery merger has been the worst thing to happen to either company. I also think that the FCC and FTC majorly dropped the ball by allowing the merger. Of course I think all of the mega entertainment and News companies need to get broken up sooner rather than later.

This is a bumer, I really liked that show. It was a really fun low-stakes summer sex comedy with some very charming performances. I like 70s aesthetics so I really dug the wardrobe and soundtrack as well! I didn’t think it stood much of a chance but I thought it would at least get season 2. Maybe another streamer will…

I’ve met more than my share of crazy-ass Republicans but also, weirdly, some who were incredibly sweet and generous people despite supporting a psychotic fascist. People are nothing if not full of contradictions (and dome of the biggest dicks I’ve ever met were progressives so go figure).
