My most recent additions to the Christmas movie canon:

1) Jingle Jangle
An absolutely delightful musical on Netflix about two dueling toymakers, appropriate for kids.

2) The Green Knight, a visually splendid R-rated Arthurian-adjacent legend which functions as a rumination on mortality and the impermanence of things (fro…

Oh that is interesting, thanks for pointing it out. There are indeed two English options. Bizarre that they should be so different.

I watched the pilot last night, and hot damn, that was a great hour of television. Definitely going to keep going.

However, as a non-Korean speaker, I was a bit bummed to see this Twitter thread from someone fluent in both Korean and English who says the subtitles are pretty bad.

If you click through to the thread,…

I can understand people having an ineffable feeling that the show looks a bit weird and different this season.

What I cannot understand is people not ever having seen any previous examples of scenes in which actors are shot separately on greenscreen and then composited together, and what specific major world event…

Man, leaving a positive review and then returning the game is sociopathic behavior.

See it’s funny, that’s basically what they did for Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, but...kinda needed Rachel Weisz to stick around for that formula to work. Marie Bello is a fine actress, but...you can’t just recast a romantic pairing in midstream and expect it to work.

The Dark Knight notwithstanding.

Yeah it turns out they could (not) advance

He propositioned a 17-year-old when he was 35.

An ex-girlfriend accused him of forcing her to perform oral sex on him in his car (after he began dating her by offering her notes on her script).

Five women who were his acting students accused him of offering quid pro quo bit parts conditioned on them filming nude or…

I watched this clip before reading the second part of your comment, and I heard “I’m sorry”.

Now that I’ve read it, I can only hear Trump sorry.

Anyway, I think the real explanation is just that he threw in a little mouth noise at the start, and all of our brains are broken now and hear Trump everywhere. But I may be…

I don’t know what the limit on their lifespan is, but I think part of the confusion is that the writer seems to have misunderstood which record the rabbit holds. It it’s not the longest-living rabbit (meaning it has had the longest lifespan) - it is the longest..........living rabbit, referring to its body length of…

I think you may have misunderstood the record that he won.

He is the longest living rabbit.

Ah, I do recall that one now that you mention it.

Can’t imagine that reference would jump to mind for me in this situation though.

Yeah, I think that’s where I’ve seen it as well (The Green Mile, perhaps?).

In any case, the asshole who said it (Gutierrez) was also fired:

...nobody has taken hostages, dude. This’d be a way bigger deal if they had, and Egypt has no interest in being perceived as a gang of pirates running the Suez Canal.

This dispute is about stuff. The crew is aboard the ship, and getting paid for every minute they’re on there.

Unless you have information that hasn’t…

Also, if someone screamed “You’re fixin to ride the lightning son” at me, I would assume they’re talking about...me being executed via electric chair? I’d be terrified, but also very, very confused. What a fucked-up threat to make even with taser in hand.

Every moment of this video is worse than the one before.

Christ, what a piece of shit body-cam cop is.

Nearly as bad, is his partner, who clearly determines the driver is a non-threat before Officer GETSOME does.

Wow. That’s right up there with Sarah Palin’s “We said ‘thanks, but no thanks’ to that Bridge to Nowhere.”

No, you fucking didn’t. *sigh* We really should’ve seen this coming.

I take it in this case, “Massive cliffhanger” has the meaning of “post-credits cameo of an additional baddie”?

Yeah, it’s a bit of a snake eating its own tail when it comes to legislatures passing well-meaning regulations, or regulations which have the appearance of being well-meaning but were in fact also drafted by corporate lobbyists in order to tank their competition. So yeah. I’m with you. It’s a hard problem.

I think that’s all fine, and I want to say right upfront that I do believe you’re offering that argument in good faith.

But would you also concede that arguments against regulation which invoke small businesses are offered most frequently by corporate lobbyists for the big boys in bad faith, who solely want to tank…
