At least the debacle gave an overzealous conservative movement the confidence to reveal its terrifying and unpopular 2025 Project transition platform.

Currently, no one calling for him to step down has shown us what this process might look like because there is no historical precedent. There are no procedures or guidelines to follow.

i agree with Clooney. and anyone who discounts him b/c he’s rich, famous, doesn’t live in the US, whatever, is not addressing what Clooney (& several other people, incl other big Dem donors & many Dem politicians) are actually saying. that kind “what do we care what he thinks?” petulance is not an argument or even a…

It’s infuriating how smug and condescending you are with your contrarian clickbait takes. I surmise you know exactly the response people have, and you aim for it. I don’t even know if you’re serious or not with the many eye-rolling opinions you’ve expressed.

Jesus Christ you are toxic, and you probably don’t even care about assault, trolling and flaming is your end goal.

I knew this was Jesse as soon as I saw him praise the fridge scene

The bad news, of course, is that Pixar is most likely going to learn all the wrong lessons from this. More thoughtful, funny storytelling that appeals to teens and parents alike? Of course not! More sequels and threequels that people will buy tickets to more out of habit than any actual desire to see the films?…

I’ve kind of done a doubletake at a lot of the praise for the season three premiere. I thought it was like watching a stylish reinterpretation of an old-fashioned clip show. Events we’ve already seen (or at least already aware of, if they occurred offscreen) are meticulously reconstructed just to show them with a…

Counterpoint: she’s just not a good actress and is uncharismatic, monotone, and dead-eyed in pretty much all of her roles. She’s at her best in talk show appearances when she’s just being a version of herself.

see, i don’t get the whole “prickly intelligence and iron will” bit at all. Honestly, she appears vapid and remarkably uncharismatic - or have i just missed the movies where she displays this intelligence and will thing? Any suggestions?

Plural of Giallo is Gialli, not Giallos.

Or she is just an asshole. Hard to separate out all that 

I don’t think you understand how irony works. You can’t just make false statements in response to nothing and have it make sense.

Challengers, Chestnut, and Passages all feature explicitly bisexual desire, where previously the connections between these characters might have been relegated to mere “homoerotic subtext.”

Bit by bit, the multiverse is colliding. Patrick Stewart brought Charles Xavier back in Doctor Strange: The Multiverse Of Madness. In 2023's The Marvels, Kelsey Grammar appears in the mid-credits scene as Hank McCoy/Beast. But this is the first one to do a proper crossover and is considered a part of the MCU’s Phase…

Maybe not so much for entertainment, but there’s value for researchers, journalists, academics...  There are thousands of interviews with politicians and others who aren’t often interviewed for example.

So how does Paramount profit from this? Is there a specific tax write-off that’s so large as to be worth the customer backlash?

The Bear just changed the music montage as we know it

I’m with ya. Over at Slate, Jack Hamilton has a piece about how he thinks the series has altogether fallen off in terms of quality, and for him the main culprits are lack of character and plot development (filling in characters’ backstories, he points out, isn’t the same thing as moving forward), as well as an…

I can’t speak for others, but as someone who really enjoyed Seinfeld, for me personally, “The Betrayal” (the “backwards episode”) was technically impressive the first go-around, but was light on laughs (in either order), and I haven’t returned to it all that often.
