John Carpenter is a national god damn treasure.

What a horrible article.  Are you happy doing this kind of work, Mary Kate Carr?

Now that I’m too old to keep up with bullshit on the internet, I feel so much freer and calmer. I have no idea what the fuck anyone is talking about anymore, and I’m less stressed as a result. QAnon is one of the few points of reference I understand in this article, and frankly, it feels retro to see them mentioned…

It’s wacky, right? I dunno if it’s just Americans signal boosting things without an awareness of the context in which they’re said, but the idea that the Mail is worth listening to in the first place is the frightening thought; it’s honestly quite hard to be bothered by anything they actually say.

This is truly one of the funniest programs of all time but - and this is not intended as some sort of patronising “you won’t get it” thing at all - I’m genuinely curious as to how much sense something this culturally specific makes to Americans?  I am sure that the Anglophile Americans who are steeped in this stuff…

I genuinely do not believe that Tom Cruise has seen a film.

Calling it "defending" Majors is a bit of a stretch, no?

I don’t think there’s many people left who are invested enough to care but Rambo IV did something quite interesting, in that it made a conscious effort to re-contextualize parts 2 and 3 so that they felt more comfortably like they followed First Blood. That first film has this gorgeous Ted Kotcheff melancholy woven…

Same.  I am going to choose to believe they don't really exist from now.

I don’t disagree that there’s no need to keep bringing it back, and at a certain point it starts to resemble the original Star Trek cast doing movies into the 90s, but there’s a level of delusion and self-importance in taking the position that the big mass appeal franchise character should be retired once you’ve done…

Was this article written by AI?  Does Mark Keizer actually exist?  Very poor prose.

Calling the pandemic the most traumatic global catastrophe sure is some white people shit.

Yeah exactly, and inbetween that and All Star, they had “Can’t Get Enough Of You Baby” which I think a lot of people genuinely *didn’t* know was a cover (of a cover, if you want to get pedantic), but rather some kind of overall pastiche of 60s pop in general, entirely BECAUSE Walking On The Sun signalled them as a…

I’m pretty sure that at the time it came out, there was even a general sense of “wait, they haven’t already covered this song?”.

That whole “...you didn’t know” clickbait angle sure needs to be retired.

Man, I'm a physical media weirdo and my collection ain't worth shit.  It was getting rid of VHS tapes that was the tactical error, I cannot imagine a day where Blu Ray is worth anything, and yet here I am fully encumbered with a collection.

While it's not exactly plagiarism I rather suspect that the vast majority of this article is regurgitated from the Flop House mini episode.

He's a really cool, interesting guy.  Very generous with his time, a wide range of interests, and he's in a cool band too.  As far as famous white guys in the entertainment industry go, you could do a lot worse.

I just really think of The Exorcist as a novel and a film that far transcends genre. I’m not even an unconditional defender of it either, I think it has certain aspects which don’t work so well, but it’s fundamentally a rich, human drama. Yes it’s scary, but it’s the keenly-observed characterisations, and the…

David Gordon Green’s “approach to horror reboots” is to take a brilliant, beautifully directed film which has already had a varied but broadly unsatisfying set of sequels, and then create a new set of shitty sequels.
