Allen married Soon-Yi Previn in 1997, and she was never his adopted daughter.

Yeah, I think years from now, this will be the Star Trek show that gets a fair deal of critical re-evaluation in its favor. One of the big criticisms about Trek TV in the 90s was how similar and stale Trek has become. Now comes a Trek series with some issues but “stale and safe” aren’t among them. You can never make…

It’s slick (it looks better than any Trek I’ve ever seen) and it’s (sort of) fun. If your idea of fun is comic book darkness and constant plot twists. And Jones is great. But any Trekiness it has is mainly from name-dropping and telling vs. showing.

As always, I think Zack’s core criticism are accurate.

I’m astounded by how many people completely dismiss all of this. And you’ll never find a Jezebel devotee who will actually give you a well thought out response, as evidenced by the genius whose takeaway from what you supplied was simply the polygraph test.

In fairness it was a private conversation recorded over a decade prior, who wouldn’t be pissed off with losing their job over something like that?

You know - if the president doesn’t get fired for SAYING it, it does seem slightly unfair that anyone gets fired for listening to it.

Also, I am not sure it is super surprising he was not given a “first ticket”. I loved the movie (watched it again last night), but it’s not a front runner for best picture and there are A LOT of people in line in front of him. He’s a newcomer to acting and mostly known for stand up. Maybe he will get there…

Or Pan’s Labyrinth starring Abe Sapiens.

Okay...thought maybe it was a “youth thing” lol

Fuck those dudes. My father’s an artist, and he taught me to have overwhelming respect for artist models when I was a squeamish pre-teen (“ewww... they’re naked”). These people do such a service to the arts by helping artists learn to draw the human body. What asses to take advantage of that.

During a romantic moment, Oliver tells Elio “Call me by your name and I’ll call you by mine.” It becomes kind of a thing between them.

Without being flamed, and risking showing dimness, may i ask what the title actually means?

Just post it, man. One of the few good things since the Kinjapocalypse.

I’m of just the right age to have missed the original in theatres, but remember III and IV being on TV more or less constantly throughout my childhood, so growing up I found it pretty easy to dismiss both Superman and Reeve as sort of corny, has-been throwbacks from another era. Coming back to these movies as an adult…

Sure the sexy fish thing is strikingly unusual, but outside of that, this plot has been done with aliens and animals in various forms.

I’ll just say I saw this movie yesterday and cried like a baby and everyone should see it. It’s beautiful and strange and satisfying and not your typical Oscar bait yawn fest.

Also, the heroes are a woman with a disability, a black woman, and a gay man and the villain is basically a stand-in for toxic white…

There’s the climactic moment when Superman turns back time by making the planet spin backwards

The film -does- engage with it. There’s explicitly a clear reluctance on the part of the older partner to become involved. Moreover, such age gaps are arguably more common in LGBT relationships because people who are unsure or embarrassed by their sexuality are more likely to look for experienced, confident partners.

I (who am myself bisexual) was informed by someone who had seen the movie something totally different, so I’m sorry. I was informed that the girlfriend was only mentioned at the very end of the film, and that he was portrayed as Kinsey-6 gay until that point.

I’m also used to people referring to everything prior to the…
