So staying with the band was a Ngo go?

This Cast Shoots Horses, Don’t They?

The first I ever heard of it (saw...of it?) was when I saw the Flaming Lips in 2002 and they played some shocking scenes from Battle Royale on the big screen behind them during one of the songs.

I played both Sims 2 and 3 about to death, but the Sims 3 is definitely the pinnacle. The NPCs have their own lives, marry, have kids and grandkids, and carry on all by themselves, and I found that IMMENSELY satisfying.

My main family are a fairy King and Queen who raise unicorns and are related to pretty much everyone…

Who the fuck invented the term cottagecore and how do I shame them?

QT also publicly shouted out Battle Royale by casting one of its stars, Chiaki Kuriyama, as Go-Go Yubari in Kill Bill (made in 2003). Battle Royale wasn’t widely available legally in the early 2000s but it was definitely a hit on the torrent forums of the day.

“Late” is an adjective though.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m happy that the dystopian YA movie trend died out. Between this, Divergent and Maze Runner, seeing young adults fight for their lives got too depressing. The last Divergent movie did so poorly that they cancelled the second part of the last movie so the series isn’t even complete.…

Good, he’s getting tired.

I’m pulling for him.

Ooh ooh now do Monkey Magic...

Y’alls reaction to this Ellie Kemper story (and the commentariat outrage about it that has spilled over into so many other articles) reminds me of my time waiting tables in DC. When I was working in restaurants & bars, there was this funny, constant and well-known phenomena that a manager pointed out to me early on…

Seriously thought that was an image of Gwyneth Paltrow doing some sort of bid for Oscar glory.

So she entered a pageant and/or attended some weird debutante event. Is there any indication that she was aware it had a racist history? It may be hard for some on here to believe, but googling the damn thing wasn’t an option in 1999.

Back in the day....20 years ago...if you spelled someone’s name wrong you got fired. It meant you didn’t care and that you were a hack and that you were incompetent.

She went up there and shot Tony Soprano.

ok honestly i’ve been lurking on these for a while and i agree with everyone that this season was mostly fine but a couple weeks back someone mentioned that each episode was set up like a video game and i can’t get that out of my head. like every scene feels like it’s a literal cut-scene, overtly-expository dialogue…

- Holy cast trimming, Batman! Out of the 23 characters that ever got main title credits, only eight survive: Lyra, Will, Mary, Mrs. Coulter, Asriel, the Cardinal, Serafina, and Ruta.

Much as The Golden Compass shit the bed, Sam Eliot and Daniel Craig were perfect casting. Especially Craig, he just oozed the kind of sheer force of will and physical presence of Asriel in a way McAvoy has tried admirably to replicate but doesn’t quite get.

In the case of The Golden Compass, the biggest problem was that His Dark Materials isn’t actually like The Lord Of The Rings, for reasons more numerous than we have time to get into.
