I agree. One of the ways to define when a story is finished is when the characters/world have reached a new status quo, i.e. The story begins when the original status quo is either breaking or about to break, and it ends when there’s a new steady state. Stories are about change, so the story ends when things are…

Yep, DC tried to be gritty where Marvel was fluffy, and that hasn’t worked out for them*. Whenever they try to make fluff like Marvel does, then they create some enjoyable movies/shows.

...but at a drive-in, so the sound and picture were certainly not up to Nolan’s standards.

Cut the avocado in half, as normal.

Yeah, I’m on still Twitter, because as bad as Muskrat is, it’s hard to meaningfully damage a dumpster fire. But hoo-boy, that tweet-limiting debacle was the last straw for a lot of people.

Now I’m imagining how distressing and embarrassing it would be, sitting in the dark, with a hundred other people, watching a very serious movie, only to have a dong the size of a hot air balloon appear above your upturned faces.

Or perhaps you are not attracted to women, because she’s very cute, albeit only on the outside.

Severance is so startlingly good, while also being weird as hell in a sneak-up-on-you sort of way, plus visually stylish. I very much recommend it.

I think promo is more about reminding people that the movie exists and is out NOW.

Vessel for what? A vessel meant to contain what?

This is the reason. Ezra Miller going psycho didn’t help, but this is the reason.

This is pretty typical in book publishing, though — when a celebrity is willing to “write” something that their face will go on the front-cover of, a massive amount of money gets shoveled their way.

Reminds me of how I recommend Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach trilogy to people: Read the first ten pages of Annihilation. If you think it’s hypnotic and engrossing, then buy all three books; they’re all like that. But if you’re left wondering whether a plot will appear, then abandon the books now; they’re all like…

We started washing everything in cold water (the technology in the detergents is really good now for cold water washing), so we don’t generally need to worry about colours running anyway.

Yeah, I had the misfortune to watch Blade III recently, and there was a lot of things that should have helped salvage it, but didn’t.

Kenji Lopez-Alt actually did a comparison study of different techniques for making sun tea and was able to show that:

He has no genitals. Of course he doesn’t know how to fuck. His crotch is as smooth as a newly-opened tub of margerine.
