I had a hell of a time trying to parse the headline before realizing “kicked off Sundance” meant she started the event and not that she had been removed from some kind of panel or something at Sundance because of her comments.

Yup, that’s the ol gang. Eric, Donna, Kelso, Jackie and Fez. The five kids.

A bit tangential, but something to watch out for with HDR TVs is if they have “smart HDR” type features, they might try to apply it to actual HDR content and make a mess of it.

Last Jedi is a great sequel because it remembers a time when doing a sequel meant “add something to the franchise” not “pander to your audience with 2 hours of nostalgia bait and rehashed plots.”

Shouldn’t it be “Missions Impossible”?

What a weird world we live in now where Syfy renews shows and other networks throw theirs in the trash 

Hopefully we’ll soon develop the technology to make AI studio audiences.

Never heard of it. Seems like you must know a bunch of sitcom nerds.

I’m sure Whoopi could book an appearance on a podcast if she wanted to. 

One of the sad things these days is that there is no level of disgrace deep enough for these guys not to have an audience, even if it’s just an audience of people they used to hate and who used to hate them.

That the 2020 election was stolen and Trump is the rightful president.

What? Dude I spent the rest of that summer overhearing people discussing the death of Tony Stark as though he were a real person. Yeah okay no cultural impact sure buddy. That was like the biggest film event of my lifetime.

Furious 7 had a pretty significant impact across different communities. It was a way for the car enthusiast community to mourn the loss of Paul Walker and it inspired a song that went 11x platinum in the US alone, his charity Reach Out Worldwide received a boost in funding from the franchise proceeds too.

I’m one of those people, but I don’t believe that “nobody cares about Avatar”, clearly it’s doing well. What I believe is that it never had the cultural impact other billion dollar movies had. It was, aside from it’s superb use of modern digital technologies, rather forgettable. 

There are some And Then There Were None adaptations that I’d have rather made the list. Namely the 1945 film and the 2015 miniseries.

Both of the Branagh Agatha Christie adaptations are....not good. I’m surprised they were included here. Murder on the Orient Express is weak, but Death on the Nile is the worst movie I saw this year. By a mile. It’s a bad movie.

I will say this about Part of Your World - it’s easily one of the more political Disney songs. Compare it to the more sugary confections from Ye Olde Disneye films and it has elements that you could easily identify as expressions of nascent feminism. Consider it from the perspective of the LGBT community - it has long

As a Belgian comic strip enthousiast, I can fully understand that some of Hergé’s work can be misconstrued as inherently racist, and I hate to apply the ‘back then things were different’ excuse, but it’s not without merit regarding this particular situation. He received a lot of criticism for drawing cartoons for

They used her as a reference, and she’s credited as an actor in the film, but what you see in the movie (outside of the archival footage) is not her. It’s a body-double (Loren Peta), with a hand-animated CGI facial performance (“We captured both actresses [Loren and Sean] doing the scene in a controlled facial capture
