Shout out, of course, to Collateral, partially about whether passively observing other people’s lives makes you complicit in them, even as you distance yourself from your own. Or, at the very least, that’s what Cruise’s Vincent projects onto Foxx’s Max to get his way.

feels like it’s a couple revisions away from hitting something; Taxicab Confessions seems like the spine of the article: we jump from the trope Daddio employs and then take a look back at an early reality show which employed said trope. Instead, the article kinda just jumps around with different examples and reads…

What a... What a weird fucking article

These articles are written by AI, which is not ready for prime time, yet. 

Or Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Mehness. Or Deadpool and Wolverine. Or the Spiderman movie featuring all the other Spidermen.

Do you know the meaning of the words “based on”? And that they don’t mean “1:1 recreation”?

Cool. You know different mediums exist because of their strengths and weaknesses, right?

The sun does not “come up”. It’s position is eternally fixed at the bottom of the bowl that contains the universe. The Earth is a great disc that flips end over end in the middle of the bowl creating the illusion that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The night sky is nothing more than the lights of Hell…

of course they greenlit the series. What were they supposed to do, yellowlight it?

True, especially with Xavier’s school for paramilitary combat, but you can point out things like that inherent in the worlds or premises of a lot of things because we wouldn’t watch them if things didn’t also go boom (although I have always had a story in mind that’s kind of The Holdovers for Xavier’s school)...I…

Yeah what are Dirty Harry and Death Wish and Jack Reacher if not conservative fantasies? I saw an episode of Blue Bloods where the black commissioner let’s someone off the hook because he’s too soft and woke, the guy kills someone, and the black commissioner or chief or whatever apologizes to the white inferior…

I hadn’t seen those comments, but that sadly doesn’t surprise me. It also mildly reminds me of when they started disabling comment sections on these sites since they seemed to be perfectly fine with the trolling and racism, it was when comment sections filled up with people pointing out factual/grammar errors…

He also has to feed Gleek and keep the floor wet at all times.

Berlanti stated the Diggle as GL moment was just a fun Easter Egg they included as Arrow was wrapping up. They never thought it would go beyond that or be connected to the HBO Max Lanterns show that was being produced separately.

What is going on with Wolverine’s claws in that top image? 

It’s Dysphoria - but the article got it wrong too for whatever reason. Dysmorphia means something else (a distorted sense of your body); the symptom trans people often have is dysphoria.

The title calls it Transgender Dysmorphia Blues but the article correctly calls it Transgender Dysphoria Blues. These are not the same thing and that’s the sort of thing editors, which AV Club ditched long ago, would catch.

This movie will be great until we all find out it’s just a way to highlight the upcoming multiple Disney+ series focused on Yukio (“Hi Wade” coming in 2025), Dopinder (coming in 2026), and Peter (“Sugar Bear” coming in 2027). Okay, actually I’d watch that last one.

Despite the breathless headline, this...doesn’t seem like much of a story.  I get notices like this for my corporate phone at least 3-4 times a year: any time a major security vulnerability is found and patched, basically.

How was Top Gun left off this list?
