Sorry, a TV show sequel to the Man Who Fell To Earth?  That's INSANE, man.

You know how there’s some films that aren’t that great but you love them and you bestowed a lot more significance on them than they really deserve, simply because they were quite ubiquitous in your corner of the world? Well “No Escape” aired on TV here very frequently, under the alternate title “Escape From Absolom”.…

Anyone ever tell you you sound like Christopher Lee?

I don’t think they really “came out” so much as “reaffirmed something that was pretty much there from the start”.

Certainly it pre-dates a tweet from 2020. Janelle has always had themes of fluidity and beyond-binary-ness, right from the first album.

I don’t mean this in some “Come on, isn’t it obvious?” way that relies…

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a national treasure.  That's literally all I came here to say.

Hey remember that bit where I said the point was actually that it was a dumb idea? It was in the exact same post you read and responded inexplicably strongly to.

Isn’t there a bit in one of the early ones where he cuts somebody’s head off?  Like just hacks it clean off in one stroke?  Imagine decapitating a human being and then doing like five or six more fights that day, without sleep.  You’d swear it was a fever dream.

Oh I’m well aware of that, though you’ll find it’s got less to do with marketing (let’s be real, the kind of numbers a movie like this would need to do, would require it to reach people who have no knowledge of who Mina Harker is in the first place), and more to do with the fact that they don’t have to pay anyone to…

Question: if you tell the story from a new perspective, and you fit it into a new time period and a new environment, and you’re telling the story in a new medium, and you’re not directly adapting the text... why do you need to use the Dracula nomenclature?

This looks astoundingly stupid. That commercial tells me everything I need to know, which is that this is being cynically positioned as a must-have accessory for a very particular, very affluent type of buyer, to the extent that I highly doubt anyone feels particularly concerned with quality-controlling the software. …

This is a good interview and Lynch is charming and edifying, great work.

Back when Tumblr was a thing, I had this idea to make one called"Michelle Yeoh is the coolest person ever" and just have gifs of her.  I should've done that.

There are no good takes and there is nothing edifying to be had from anything related to this series of events.  This is just some Entertainment Tonight hot gossip dudes, pull the pin on it yeah?

I really like Nic Cage.

On a related note, does anyone else feel like Tubi perfectly recreates the experience of browsing the video store?  Like you can find some reliable stuff on there, but there’s also shelves and shelves of nonsense, unfulfilled promise, and poorly-transferred martial arts films?  Classic.

I’m pretty happy to take a swing at Uncle Lloyd’s latest when they come out, but yeah: I don’t really feel like I need to hold them in my heart anymore.  But I think that Troma movies are made to be outgrown, really.  I’m still glad the company exists and does it’s weird, insane incoherent thing.  I just don’t intend…

Wait, so the only time you’ve ever said anything provocative, or to have a go at someone, is for attention? Not for amusement? Not for the sake of ingratiating yourself with the person you’re speaking to? Not for five minutes of shits and giggles? The only reason you can conceive, for person saying silly things about…

Look dude, I quite explicitly left the possibility open that Gallagher was wrong, but if you think that Styles’ entire representations isn’t wholly curated by a team of people, I dunno what to tell you. There’s loads of documentaries where popstars are shown in authentic-looking situations that are totally vetted.

I think the suggestion is that hackiness is inauthentic in the same way that posturing is inauthentic. I don’t think there’s a need to pick a lane a) because they’re not mutually exclusive but b) it’s fairly clear from context that Noel Gallagher said that stuff to have a go at Harry Styles and his ilk, not to form…

The Academy isn't a meaningful organisation, the Academy Awards aren't actually prestigious, stop it.
