I was amused that Veronica’s interpretation of how to get away from her father was to “kill” him by entering into high-stakes business competition with him.

Edith calls back to Iron Man 2. The government says “hey, give us Iron Man tech, NOW” and he’s like “NOPE, I am the best person to hold on to this, I don’t trust any of you guys.” Later in the film, he gives up the tech to one person, his trusted friend Rhodey. In Iron Man 3, he is punished for that decision when…
I don’t think there’s anything cooler than an audience spontaneously bursting into cheering and applause. It’s not like people were carrying on conversations, the movie just had that powerful of an impact on them. I loved watching it.
Into the Spider-Verse is the best standalone superhero movie of all time. It’s funny, emotional, deep, heartbreaking, and absolutely fucking gorgeous to watch. I could watch it ten more times
Endgame or The Departed?
I think their strategy is to focus on adding new content over keeping older content going so that they can say they have more content. So instead of adding another season of a show, they’d prefer to make a new show. I think that’s why they always shut down things after a few seasons unless they’re huge hits.
I thought Cry Wilderness was pretty funny.
So, did Archie have that bronze plaque and photo all ready to go or something? Because the scene before made it seem like he just got the idea (as is true to his dumb bumblepuppy character) but Molly’s hideous blouse* tracks the dedication scene as though they hatched the idea, called everybody to risk their lives on…
So the whole thing is an allegory about reforming the Prison Industrial Complex kind of. Interesting
Right, just like how SCUBA should be pronounced “Skuhba” since the U stands for “Underwater.” It’s so annoying when people insist on pronouncing it “Skooba.”
“Stop asking questions, stop doing metacommentary.”
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
What? Everyone is now suddenly too cool to try and ride off in a fucking rocket? I want that in every episode from now on.
To just immediately disregard the whole premise of the piece and talk about that pooping scene (sorry), my favorite thing about it is how hilariously well Maya Rudolph plays the final coup de grace, when her resistance finally gives out and she sinks to the ground moaning “It’s happening... it’s happening...” Such a…
The fact that he’s super rich also means he’s got an army of hangers-on feeding him absolute constant bullshit and reinforcing his worst habits. That kind of signal-to-noise ratio is difficult for people in a healthy mindset to deal with, and it’s pretty clear Kanye’s mindset is a million miles from healthy at this…
Man, that’s almost as vile a scheme as buying a bunch of generally successful, well-produced web sites covering a variety of topics and then totally wrecking them by nerfing their editorial standards and direction, leading to mass resignations and publication of articles pointing out what a dumbass you are. It’s hard…
My husband was dying for them to just let him go in the rocket! Best of both worlds! They save the cult members and get to see Edgar explode n glory.
I adore how they had to switch to the all-CGI dogs for the spaghetti scene - apparently even the best trained dogs couldn’t be stopped from fighting each other over a meatball.
