Joker: The Man and His Dream

I’m kinda surprised how many people who grew up in the home video era have such an attachment to movie theaters.

Charging is still a big issue in many cities as there isn’t always easy access to charging stations.

And David Schwimmer. 

Agreed on the possibility for a horror-movie approach. You could even do it with no other human characters besides Chell, but you’d have to have an actor who’s extremely good at acting by herself, or possibly talking to other versions of herself...

As a Canadian that’s been living south of the border for decades it is irritating and tiresome to see how Canada is consistently treated like the ideal, white-guilt-free, super suburb of the U.S. with just the right number of POC and/or religious/cultural minorities to make its liberal WASP majority feel smugly fair…

The book benefitted by vaguely alluding to the conditions that allowed for the rise of Gilead, which made sense with the limited perspective of the narrator, and of course Margaret Atwood’s superb prose, so you are able to just go along with the premise of a liberal democracy sliding into a repressive theocracy. By…

the vast, vast majority of chinese people have never seen the other side, since the free side of the internet requires VPN connections, which are illegal (and while not impossible to get, are not something the average user is going to risk seeking out.)

of those who have seen it, my interaction is that the response is…

I mean, he was spot-on as Meth Damon, but has he really been so great in everything else as to deserve how much work he gets? It ain’t because he’s purty.

I felt like the movie never made a compelling case why anyone would lift a finger to protect such a weasel.

Which is the more interesting thing to think about beyond celebrities being screwed: how NORMAL it is now for private equity firms to grab assets from failing or bankrupt companies, and strip them and transform them into new actual value divorced from any old responsibilities, and whether or not that’s a good thing. An…

It should be called comeuppance culture. A bunch of people who were cancelled are still doing their thing. A bunch of awful people are getting what they deserve. 

81 years later and Disney still has yet to apologize for Geppetto.

The weirdest part about this past year for me is that it was the most successful year of my career, and the dissonance between how things have been going for me and how they’ve been going for the world. I feel like I’m not supposed to feel good or talk about feeling good, which really sucks but also feels like the…

“In Lost In America, his scathing comedy about a yuppie couple who decide to “drop out” of Reagan-era conformity to live the Easy Rider dream of the 1960s in a Winnebago, he gives us the classic Me Generation symptoms: entitlement, delusion, and the curdled false promise of economic stability at the expense of social…

Is this “Guy Commenting On Wrong Thread” fanfic?

I can’t post the video because Kinja hates me, but everyone knows Sir Patrick Stewart only knows how to make one kind of erotic cake. If anyone can post it I would be eternally grateful.

The thing that makes me think “nope” is the fact that it’s a public place, and everybody has a cell phone (those latest Samsung ones advertise how you can be a gazillion feet away and still be able to take a close-up shot of something), and before you know it, you’re on some pr0n site that you weren’t even aware you…
