“Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the transphobes!”

Yeah, this is directly from the comics except John gets the spotlight. About time, too. The late Millennials and Zoomers had JLU John Stewart for their Green Lantern to imprint on.

“They run out of ring charge in the first five minutes of the first episode because then it can just be a nice cheap cop show.”

Nothing says “Green Lantern adventure” quite like the logline “two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery.” Still

Charade is sort of a perfect movie. The age gap between Hepburn and Grant doesn’t detract I think because she is the aggressor, and he is Cary Grant 

When I saw this (gulp) 25 years ago, I was blown away by both the movie and the soundtrack - which works perfectly with everything happening onscreen.

The main reason to dislike the Bourne sequels is, of course, that hack Palsy Greengrass directing them.

The movie also provides a nice little snap shot in time of post-unification Berlin when it was still in its Bohemian stage. 

Run Lola Run is one of the few German films to briefly capture American pop culutre’s attention back then so much that even The Simpsons and a few other shows did parodies of it.

There are a few movies I hold in my heart as the platonic ideal of film, and this is one of them. I actually just rewatched it last week and it still grabs me from frame one and doesn’t let go until the credits roll.

Love this film so much. Bummed that its current 25th anniversary theatrical release never came to a theater near me, I imagine this would be so fun to watch on the big screen with an audience. I will note that Run Lola Run’s concept was quite heavily influenced by Kieslowski’s Blind Chance (1987). 

You guys are so cool for not knowing anything about the most popular singer in the world

Corporations are a neutral evil at best. Anyone with the bare minimum of critical thinking skills can come to that conclusion. Nobody likes them, but we need them and we don’t pretend otherwise.

And I understand the need for good PR, but we’re all sitting here like, “...C’mon, you’re not fooling anybody.”

If Apple just…

This was a charming article.  Good for him--he seems like a nice boy.

I like bits and pieces of that live-action Watchmen series, but yeah, I was a bit disappointed that it just goes back to Watchmen fanservice. DC has this bizarre notion that the “heroes” of the Watchmen world are franchise-able. I mean, I do believe that you can make still something interesting from something borne…

I tried explaining the idea of airtimes and reruns to my son, nd he just said “this doesn’t make any sense.”

Oblig:

Wasn’t most of that stuff in her late teens/early 20s? Not defending any of it, but I’m just glad social media wasn’t around to capture some of the stupid and shitty things I did then.  

It’s not surprising that at the time Ariana felt fine about what she was doing in her role, and now looking back is like well shit that was actually super creepy.

Right? Ward Cleaver? Herman Munster? Archie Bunker? George Jetson or Fred Flinstone if we're gonna mention Homer...
