Strange Days was exactly what I was thinking!

Hell put Angela Bassett in the suit.  She kicks ass!

It’s a trend for sure, thanks Spiderverse’s (and now Arcane’s) success. Honestly though I do find it way better than the previous dominant trend towards uncanny “cartoons but with visible pores” tendency pushed by Pixar and Dreamworks.

Interesting. I found his outsider’s perspective refreshing, especially considering most other late night show hosts are American.

Just like that unknown actress starring in Smile 

You can just say Danny Boyle. He’s pretty famous.

More likely: If it has a solid ROI, studios will make shitty knockoffs based on the dumbest possible assumptions about the causes of Bros success, and when they fail will over-correct and say “gay movies lose money.”

They’ve got to keep up appearances now that Dowd and Vishnevetsky are gone.

“I’m pretty certain the movie set out to tell the story of a guy delivering a slab of piss to his mates in Vietnam, not set out to tell a story of the follies of the conflict viewed through the lens of 2022 hindsight.”

Movie reviewers weighting their grade based on if the movie conforms to their ideology has become common not just on AV Club but across many sites.

Highlight of my day right there, buddy! 

This is that one time ever year or so I remember that Sigourney’s given name is Susan.

The reviews on this site have become an exercise in reading between the lines.

Obviously, it’s cultural impact is creating the pop cultural category “things that have no cultural impact.”

What’s funny is the number of online retailers that are now opening physical locations.  Who could have guessed that people would want to try out a mattress before buying?

My wife and I were lamenting last weekend how much we miss the video store. We wish on a Friday night we run out, pickup a pizza and have the kids pick a few movies at a video store to rent. I know on demand can do that but just the idea of looking at wall of tapes(or dvds) in a store felt so much better. It was an…

100% this. And even though Avatar land is great, its got nothing on Harry Potter. There is something about that world that just translated so well into a theme park area. I think its the bit of mundane life still sprinkled into the property and the fact that so many shops and places to eat and drink are featured.

I easily spent HOURS a week just going through the videostore.  My favorite thing.
