I don’t understand the needle that you’re attempting to thread here. If your issue is with the movie itself, then talk about that. But the ride reflects the movie. To argue that the ride based on the movie should ignore the plot of the movie is butt-stupid. If you’re at Disney and going on that ride, you’ve already…

“magical CPR”! 

Only one fucking blogger was mad about the ending to the Snow White ride. The Fox News and the right wing outrage machine freaked out and said the liberals wanted to cancel Snow White. And now you’re writing about it. So congratulations. They tricked you.

It’s kind of a shame, because the wording of the headline suggested that this might actually be a biting satirical take on the story... but then I saw the byline under it, and knew it would bend over backwards to side with the two wackos that are offended by fairy tales.

So shocked that a discussion about Louis Farrakhan would devolve into anti-Semitic garbage said no one ever.

AV Club says you care. Now shut up and care.

It’s only the best movie ever made about firing two guns whilst jumping through the air!

If anything, I’d go with 3 feet. It looks like Model Village in Hot Fuzz. Timothy Dalton could get impaled on one of those turrets.

Now I really want Werner Herzog to narrate the next Paddington Bear movie. 

“[Y]ou are watching a lucrative global children’s-entertainment franchise and not a bleak European art film.”

Is there anything more meta than Maximilian Schell ending up inside of Maximilian’s shell?

For once, I think Steak Umm has made a good point here. The whole point of science, that I think Tyson misstated, is that it’s NOT about truth. It’s about understanding through proven methods that can be replicated. Even the most seemingly accepted “facts” about the observable world, aren’t so much facts or truths, as…

Like most of the commenters, I was barely aware this existed. What I'm interested to know is, what did the Bouvier sisters think?

Takeaways:

I watched it and it was....fine, I guess. But leaving out the parallel story of Chuck Yeager means it wasn’t The Right Stuff. It was just a generic miniseries about the Mercury program.

By the way, if you have not seen “The Boys: The Sherman Brothers’ Story,” it is available on Disney+ and very definitely worth seeing.

I was 6 years old when this came out, and though I wouldn’t see it until it premiered on NBC a few years later (in an extended version, shown over 2 nights), I have come to consider this version as “my King Kong”. That is not to say it’s my favorite. The original is. It was then, it is now, it will forever be. But…

QAnon reminds me a lot of the 80's Satanic Panic especially when you look at things like the McMartin Trial. You have adults involved, many of whom have their own struggles (emotional, mental, educational, economical) who are hearing things that are absolutely outlandish and improbable, but that is all couched in a…

I thought everyone was already aware that Q lives in the top of the Chrysler Building, where it lays in wait for Michael Moriarty to feed it the occasional gangster.

Knowing and being related to so so many right wing conspiracy cultists. and trying to convince young people that the world is very old and a sphere has me thinking that conspiracy people both have no ability to deal with randomness and uncertainty. They cannot believe bad things can just happen to people and that…
