This is a Hall Of Fame-level example of Betteridge’s Law.

Thanks for sharing that lyric. It made me laugh.

Now that it’s owned by a heartless corporation, rather than being the product of some guy in his office, I feel comfortable saying this:

These people have built their identity around a movie. When the movie sucks ass (which it will), they will perform extraordinary feats of cognitive dissonance to prove that they were right all along, either by pretending it’s actually good or by claiming it’s not the REAL Snyder cut.

Somebody described a movie once as “so bad it wasn’t even straight-to-video, it was straight-to-taped-over.” It’s a shame there’s an equivalent of this phrase in the Netflix age. Other than, increasingly, “a Netflix original”.

This is true actually. There's some interesting stuff in Timothy Snyder's book The Road to Unfreedom  about how homophobia is weaponised as a political tool in modern Russia.

The guy who owns Tesla is very much this century’s Thomas Edison.

I queued behind Robert Plant at airport security last year. Didn’t know who he was until someone asked for a selfie. He looks like a roadie.

Magnificent

No way am I going to name my favourite cliches. Nuh uh. Forget it  Never gonna happen.
