I think that a lot of cis people think that trans and non-binary people are confused about our genders because they’re so certain in theirs, and they assume we’re the opposite. It never occurs to them that we could be just as certain that our genders are different to the ones we were assigned as they are that theirs…

He was in ‘Poseidon’, a 2006 remake of ‘The Poseidon Adventure’ in which, funnily enough, he played a gay man. The movie was dreadful.

May I congratulate you on not only being supportive of your child’s gender, but also on having an excellent username here.

Especially you! But especially Bart!

Dreyfusard or Dreyfushome, I say.

Does he? I propose we test the theory by starving him.

“I kind of want to see a classic film with commentary from one of the actors, but I also want to see an old kook go batshit insane in real time. If only there was a way to do both...”

They got a little handsy at the end.

Powell will know he’s taken on Cruise’s legacy when someday some actor who’s playing a psychopathic killer says they based their performance on watching him smile in an interview.

I’d say both that variety of “joke” goes beyond the usual impulse of “ha, the look on their face will be priceless” and into “for a brief second, I will have complete power over this person’s emotions”.

I’d watch the hell out of that, especially if it explored the concept that, unpleasant as they were, the four were just children who had terrible parents enabling their worst behaviour, and they didn’t deserve being tortured by a rich maniac. End it with a well-earned redemption arc and you’ve got something there.

“I drink your fizzy lifting drink! I drink it up!”

Every now and then I wonder if Werner Herzog is just trolling us 24/7. He’s not at all like this, he’s just a super committed performance artist.

I find people often get hung up in the same way about shows or movies where the protagonist breaks the fourth wall and talks directly to the audience. People ask what’s happening there. Is this a the character reminiscing about the past? Is it a series of diary entries being read aloud? To me, it doesn’t matter. I’m…

That is legitimately why I’ve never been able to get into sports. Where’s the narrative? Where’s the arc? Where are the themes?

“When Pandora opens the box, all the virtues of the world just come rushing out. I mean, what are we, to believe this is some, ha-ha, magic box?”

The “maybe they’re just crazy in a room somewhere” trope has to be one of my least favourite lazy fan theories. It’s almost never based on anything actually present in the text - because it doesn’t need to be; if the protagonist is crazy everything is unreliable - and it usually adds nothing to the story thematically.

But Chris Hemsworth as Nermal? Inspired.

I mean, I’ve come across that name more often than Charlize.

“Anya Taylor-Joy is a talented actor but also very off-putting and almost inhuman.”
