Charlie Berens is a Wisconsin-centric stand-up comic (host of the “Manitowoc Minute” ...which I think is a podcast?). For Wisconsin celebrity, it’s a decent pull.

Congratulations!

Future showings of the film should come with a complementary Dune 2 popcorn bucket.

...and the AV Club hits a new low, when the commentariat has to explain jokes to the writing staff.

Having not read the books, but having seen the David Lynch adaptation multiple times...

its 2024 and I got a community notification for this?

Who didn’t enjoy that moment?

Bottoms of School Tables and Desks: Rejoyce!

Having now watched the episode which inspired the article, this particular episode did leave the WT/WT tension a bit higher than typical. On the Reservation, Harry is referred to as Asta’s boyfriend (which is a callback to an excuse made in a prior episode), and the final conversation between Asta and her father is…

DBZ, Akira, and Ghost in the Shell were the gateways to Anime...before it was even called that (Japanimation?).

“I cannot binge watch a show I have already watched. That is some bullsh—.”

So you’re saying NY is getting smaller grocery stores, but keeping the Whole Foods prices?

McD’s discontinued their Chicken Selects (breaded tenders) after discontinuing the wraps.

While I’d have preferred to avoid the controversy, I’m just going to say it.

Is this because he was way hetero?

When she was nominated for Best Director for Lady Bird, she was just the 5th woman to receive the honor. Her last two films (Little Women, and Barbie) both received Best Picture nods, but the Best Director honors did not follow.

I am convinced this movie exists to set up a Sydney Sweeney -as- Arachne (Julia Carpenter...or Cornwall if this review is correct?) movie which will also disappoint, because Sony is just using these films for the years when they don’t have a Spider-Man / Spider Verse film to keep film rights to the characters.

Just because Silver Sable’s film got cancelled....she’s still the obvious omission from this list. Symkaria’s economy being driven by a superhero mercenary group is a concept so comic-book-y that it should be explored.

For what it’s worth, Kingo was the best thing about Eternals. He’s also the only part of that movie which has been referenced outside the film (albeit in passing during Ms. Marvel on Disney+).
