I literally can’t tell anymore where shitposting ends and fan entitlement kicks in — like we know Justice League was legitimate, but Sonic the Hedgehog and this just can’t be? No one really believes this or thinks it could have any actual impact, it’s just funny to say so, right?

So wait... the Oscars this year are in person? Or is it Zoom?

Never fault Ryan Murphy for hiring the greatest actresses in the world and getting them to overact themselves into becoming his ideal of camp. Honestly I’ve seen enough truly bad Jessica Lange and Sarah Paulson performances in Murphy material to feel like he’s kind of doing a disservice to anyone boarding one of his…

😆 Wait you’re telling me when you think of a strong Hispanic policewoman you don’t think immediately of Nora Dunn from SNL??

I do get that and recognise it in a lot of pulp books too, but Berenice and Susie in Miami Blues too just left bad tastes in my mouth about how constantly infantilised they were and how often he as a writer emphasises their unintelligence above all else — which does make it more believable as to how they can be…

I feel like people really slept on this movie like you said — I watched it right after reading the novel and thought both were terrific. Maybe neither are what you’d expect going in but both are entirely fulfilling in different ways, and I love how the movie built out the climax of the book and drew a lot more…

Literally the amount of replies to this post inadvertently backing up my point by reacting exactly as I did all those years ago — guys finding it absolutely unconscionable that they should have to consider a movie from a dimension they’ve never personally experienced

Thank you for jumping in and making clear that the personal, subjective opinion of someone you don’t know is objectively wrong. Good take, very helpful to the discourse 👌

The point is not in Norman Bates as a character himself but in the historiographic landscape of the movie itself in erecting a clear gender binary and signalling that any crossing or blurring of that binary is a mark of psychopathy or evil — which is what Lambs does as well. Psycho coming out and saying “Norman Bates…

This is exactly my point — a “friendly movie argument” is not overpowering someone’s personal opinion, and definitely not trying to invalidate their obviously more personal viewpoint, since in this case the point of discussion is much, much larger than just movies

Do you even realise how hard I want to clap back on this but can’t since it’d betray the literal point of my original post -- amazing shitpost scheme my man 😑

I have a very close trans friend and pretty soon after her coming out we were having a random conversation where she mentioned that she didn’t like movies like Lambs and Psycho — not even that they weren’t good movies, just that she finds a problem with their equation of psychopathy with gender non-conforming…

I swear this was literally the first time in my entire life I saw an SNL host announcement and not just didn’t know who they were but also had absolutely no clue what they were supposed to be associated with 🤨 (also the first time I can say thank you AV Club headline writer!)

Thank god the studio doesn’t have to pull some Jackie Jormp-Jomp shit like that other nearly unwatchable movie that tried to do this, so that this soulless wringing of a 121 year old property has a chance to be a mark of quality 😊

My dude I can assure you if this movie was written and directed by white men I’d give exactly as few shits as I’m giving it now 🥰

? When was this time when art was too “expensive” for the proletariat? Are tickets to Marvel movies cheaper than everything else playing in a multiplex?

GO QUEEN turn the cog in that massive monolithic content factory of capitalism that holds dominion to turn all art into commerce SLAY 💯💯💯

Was it this or Flash Gordon George Lucas was trying to make before he made Star Wars?

Finally Glup Shitto is back
