They should have wrapped up the entire monarchy in the fourth season.

It’s a mixed blessing. Yeah it’d be great for the cesspit to close, but the edges of that cesspit still currently are still some of the only semi-safe, free area for a lot of discourse and community among many marginalized groups. Once it becomes even a tiny bit more of a free-for-all, a lot of those people are going…

Eventually, Count Chocula curries enough favor at court that he is created Archduke Chocula.

“Lord of the Rings: The First Age”
starring Steve Buscemi as Eru Illuvatar

Comedy Central? Don’t you mean “HA!?”

(that’s an MST3K very deep cut in case you’re wondering)

I also get uncontrollable shaking when I’m using social media apps. But that’s just because I’m so angry at the stuff my relatives post.

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck is a “Tubi?”

“I was cancelled”, actor tells major media outlet while promoting new film.

“The woke mob at a [checks notes] multi-billion dollar media juggernaut decided I didn’t deserve my own show with them because I [checks notes again] violated several clauses of my contract after being warned about it.”

Both Moore and Gaiman rely heavily on a ton of nigh-unfilmable metatextual material, too. Half of “Watchmen” was consumed with a comic-within-the-comic that was metaphorical, and excerpts from books-within-the-comics that fleshed out character backstories. “Sandman” is less overt that way, but there’s always a TON of…

Dear god I love Eivor.

“Let’s Have A Jake Gyllenhall Christmas” just doesn’t have the same ring to it, though.

I suspect that “Najma being talked into self sacrifice” is a red herring. She didn’t sacrifice herself, she’s doing something as part of a larger play, and we’ll see more of this next week with Kamran.

Like she’s going to try and possess/control him and use his newfound powers to get home, and it’ll be a big punchy…

More likely, even when done well, stretchy stuff can look pretty goofy. I mean look The Flash; “Elongated Man” on a CW TV budget wasn’t terrible, but it was mostly silly. Which fits the tone of the comics just fine, but since she’s going to be starring in a big-budget MCU film, they probably didn’t want to find…

Oh they are DEFINITELY setting up OCtavio to have Alzheimer’s or some other form of Dementia. And it’ll get worse while Aleida is on the moon or on the way to Mars or something and put her family in danger while she is hundreds of thousands of miles away and can’t do anything and she’ll feel horrible guilt.

I mean, a…

She’s also possibly the first of the superhero characters who actually seems more relatable as a non-hero person; she’s not a multimillionaire orphan, or a test pilot, or some sort of super science genius (or any combination of the above). She likes snack foods and pop culture. And “Embiggen” comes from “The…

Ehhh though that doesn’t really match the movie, though. They’re supposed to be unlikely partners who are quirky nonconformists, and all that.

Regardless of whether they knew about Page’s dysphoria and depression or not, c’mon, if someone says “I’d prefer to wear something else” there’s little valid reason to push…

FWIW it was in “Grosse Pointe Blank” along with Tones On Tail’s “Go!” I guess at least one music director spent a lot of time at the goth clubs in the early 80's.

I’m waiting for Cocteau Twins or This Mortal Coil (or just, uh, Coil) to show up somewhere.

Too late for that.  There have already been like three major-label ones in the past decade (Placebo’s is probably the best) and I’m sure a zillion indie bands are busy preparing their own takes even as we speak...

Well, “employers asking someone to do something based solely on their perceived gender that they don’t ask other genders to do.”

It’s not like there was a uniform that Fox Searchlight assigned people to wear. They basically had said “hey, wear what you want to this fancy party” - so he did. And then they said “oh,…

This seems like a particularly virulent claim in the UK. Every high profile anti-trans crusader over there likes to trot that one out at every occasion. I’m guessing it started with Linehan and spread quickly across the UK entertainment community.
