the film [...] will reportedly be set 15 years after the events of the sequel trilogy and will focus on Rey as she builds a new Jedi order as a Jedi Master.

As someone who’s tried to follow Jesus’ teachings and example pretty much his entire life (I’m reluctant to call myself Christian now, because of, well, [gestures broadly]), I find this both amusing and touching. After all, we’re all human and we can only do the best we can with what we’ve got, and if what we’ve got…

Are we saying that we shouldn’t increase representation of marginalized groups because Carlson and his friends will be mad about it?

There’s a new Blu-ray collection of classic shorts coming out next month, the Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Volume 1, curated by cartoon historian Jerry Beck and TimeWarnerMediaDiscovery+’s resident archivist and historian, George Feltenstein. No doubt there will be some double-dipping from the DVD releases, and…

Cute, but it would’ve been genuinely funny if the programmer had started with perfectly innocuous questions and the Furby had steered the conversation into the direction of world domination plans.

He was also well-known for squelching the artistic desires of the actors in his employ:

They dropped the laugh track when the episodes aired in England, and that laughless audio was available as an option in the DVD sets I bought, um, 20 years ago? Surely that’s still an option on whatever streaming service currently has them?

And still voiced by Alan Tudyk.

I could write an essay as long as this list itself detailing the various ways I disagree with it, but time is short so I’ll limit myself to the really major issues:

Yes, by now, the movie that has done shitty numbers will have weeded out those large groups of moviegoers you are trying to avoid.

What Jack Black should have said is: “Of course I’m going to have a blue checkmark. It’ll be proudly displayed on the account I just started, @theRealAdamSandler.”

Do an animated remake of a live-action film, you cowards! The Black Hole is sitting right there!

I haven’t watched the cartoon in literal decades. How likely am I to catch the reference?

Well, let’s not get carried away; it’s not like it’s within a few million of a major superhero movie.

And I think we all know who the perfect cameo would be:

I plan to see Shazam! 2: Electric Boogaloo this Wednesday; I figure by now the crowds will have thinned out. Definitely looking forward to watching DADHAT in the near future as well.

The store where I work has organic banana bunches taped around the middle, which I assume is to make sure that customers pay the ~70¢ per pound price on them, rather than the ~50¢ per pound price on regular bananas. The organic ones also have a little bit of plastic wrap around the top of the stems, as this article…

Honorable(?) Mention: Headin’ Home, a 1920 silent melodrama starring Babe Ruth (yes, indeed) as Babe; I can’t say it’s a good movie, but it’s fascinating to watch Ruth so early in his career, just after he switched from pitching to outfield and during his first season with the Yankees.

Alonso’s firing was said to be “for cause”—though it seems more likely that she was let go for participating in Netflix’s Oscar nominee Argentina, 1985.

So, Collins won’t sanction Jones’s buffoonery?
