same here. the effects really helped sell me on the father/daughter dynamic. there’s a great little moment when they do Gamora’s flashback where, right as the shooting starts, Thanos like ever so slightly nudges her head away to keep her from seeing. I love when they pay attention to the details like that and get them…

I didn’t really see Gavin as a victim of ruthlessness, it felt more like comeuppance? after seeing him all disappointed about a humane working environment and then suggesting the children from their daycare center should be working the factory lines I was actively rooting against Gavin, and seeing the factory owner…

they only have dissenters working the nuclear radiation cleanup, and they can’t exactly hand the keys to a bulldozer over to rebellious prisoners. it’s like yeah, there are probably better tools and radiation suits they could be using, but that would sort of defeat the point of making this the ultimate punishment. it…

the scene of emily moving through the airport was so tense for me. one of the great things about the handmaid’s tale show is it’s making the perspective of a refugee or someone fleeing violent conflict accessible and understandable to an american audience. there was a taste of this in season one when Moira arrives in…

they kept the kitten!!!

yeah kind of weird how we have different prisons in america for rich people and poor people. Rikers Island vs. Fort Dix, what’s the difference, ya know? rich people in one, poor in the other. don’t get pissed when they’re banging down your door screaming “EAT THE RICH” when we all basically ignore shit like this.

as someone who lived in Florida for years, I can attest, cuban coffee is in a league of its own. I have personally tasted cortaditos that are better than sex.

can we also heap scorn on Barefoot Contessa for suggesting I pick things up at my local cheese shop? and saying things like “I just can’t stand the taste of vanilla extract, I always use Madagascar vanilla beans but if you can’t find them extract is fine”? the NERVE.

you can tell he really likes something when he just falls silent. the “oh my god *5-second pause* that’s fantastic *10-second pause to take another bite* seriously you’ve really got something *10-second bite pause* that is MONEY”, like if he takes more than one bite he loves it. I happen to know that in an episode…

you’re 100% right. no one wants to actually make that movie. I’d love to see them pull a Logan with Superman, I just don’t see it ever happening.

superman movies are always going to suck bc the character is overpowered. best superman content was smallville and that’s bc he was still in hiding & couldn’t use his powers to their full extent.

I love a townie episode, and this was not an exception. Steven Universe’s willingness to show change and growth is a real strength. a lesser show would’ve kept Lars and Sadie bickering in the donut shop forever, perhaps become a couple in some shoehorned 2 episode arc during the last season. this is a show that’s not…

beautiful drag queens make him question his sexuality and their performance of a gender they weren’t assigned at birth frightens and confuses him. to reassert his masculinity he has to belittle them. he can’t cope with the warm feeling he gets in his pants when he sees a drag queen’s luscious ass so he has to scream…

characteristic or reminiscent of the oppressive or nightmarish qualities of Franz Kafka’s fictional world. Google exists, my friend.

Okja was way better than most people give it credit for. I could write a lot more about why that’s true, but just. it was really good.

even if it uses the kiddie gloves to criticize the (many) hypocritical aspects of Christian faith, I’d rather actual Christians watch this than some echo chamber nonsense like “God’s Not Dead”. I know that harshly examining evangelical faith would be more appealing to a secular audience, but this movie introduces some…

he’s a tiger mom, and he’s not gonna let some bozo from Blockbuster Video speak to him that way

which is interesting! a clawed hand is usually shorthand in animation for “this character is EVIL very EVIL notice their LONG SHARP EVIL NAILS made for STABBING” but so far every time we meet a new diamond their first, EVIL, impression usually evolves into something more flawed and, dare I say, human. I’m dying to…

white diamond’s giant hand sighting! she big.

there’s so much Utena in the show in general and I love it
