To this day I remember that ABC, NBC and CBS all made Amy Fisher movies, because I remember the SNL sketch about Fox (‘the other network’) making a ‘90210'-style Amy Fisher movie with Tori Spelling.

Oh wait, I can’t edit it. OK, well, this was a bad and poorly thought-out comment. Apologies.

Frankly I think it’s weirdly sad you went out of your way to racially profile this anonymous teen girl, but sure

How sad is it that because this is the internet, and because this is A) a woman expressing sexual desire, and B) a white** person expressing sexual attraction to a black person, the first thing I thought was ‘I’ll bet she’s getting inundated with all sorts of racist and sexist comments right now;’ checked out her…

(content warning - various kinds of violence)

I’d add to this that not only does tone matter, but so does the lifelikeness and realism of the violence depicted (which ties into tone). I’ve seen this brought up semi-recently re: Game of Thrones, where people have concerns with the show’s depiction of sexual violence,…

This is an example of a mound of bullshit with a little dollop of truth mixed in, which is enough - for some people - to mask the bullshit (okay that’s not the best analogy, but whatever, I’m tired). What is true is that yes, Wiley does sometimes include sperm in his paintings or - this is probably more accurate - he…

Smashing Pumpkins are definitely one of those ‘lifetime pass’ situations. Like, for about 20 years now, there’s been all manner of negative crap mixed-up with them - with Corgan (egomania, creepy right-wing politics), the band in general (ridiculous-sounding internecine squabbles, drug overdoses), their image…

My parents wouldn’t let me watch the 1985 Disney film The Black Cauldron, even though they generally let me and my siblings watch whatever it was we wanted to watch (and good for them). I always thought there must be something especially terrifying or sinister about The Black Cauldron that my parents forbade it. When…

I’m totally down for Annihilation, High Life, and You Were Never Really Here. Also kinda excited for Black Panther and A Wrinkle in Time. And hey, only one out of those five was directed by a white guy, which is kinda cool itself.

Twitter user Ana Mardoll has a good thread on it, too:

Whenever Harley Quinn comes up, I think it’s worth noting that the character was created within the early-90s Batman cartoon (not in the comics); then, it’s consequentially worth noting how much better that show was than pretty much every other DC adaptation.

This looks cool and all, but what I’m really curious about is Ava DuVernay’s upcoming TV adaptation of Octavia Butler’s ‘Xenogenesis’ books.

What scares me is, this rate-a-human Black Mirror/MeowMeowBeenz dystopia - where we’re all assigned some sort of inescapable rating that can fuck-up our lives - seems not only possible but highly probable (as another commenter pointed out, the Chinese government is trying to implement something similar). There are…

Remember when Universal tried to launch a shared universe of movies based on their classic monsters, and they started with a film in which Dracula is a sexy knight who can transform into a whole swarm of bats and also control the weather?

Yeah, I think a big problem here is that DC/Warner Bros. went all-in on Zack Snyder as the creative visionary who would shepherd their cinematic universe into being, and Zack Snyder kinda sucks. (I should note that I haven’t actually seen any of the DCEU movies. Snyder’s ‘Watchmen’ was such a bummer that I really have…

Realistically, these aren’t the ‘worst’ songs ever so much as they’re goofy or treacly hits that got way overplayed in their respective eras. For me, the single worst example of cringe-inducing maudlin radio-rock is that version of Live’s ‘Lightning Crashes’ with sound samples from news reports of the 1995 Oklahoma…

Wait, so you’re trying to tell me that the guy who made Breaking the Waves, Dogville, Antichrist and Nymphomaniac might have issues with female sexuality? Now I’ve heard everything...

My Lover Totoro

I’m gonna reply to you to see if my account works. I think it does...?????

OK, no one's added anything here in 4 months, and I'm sure someone's already mentioned this somewhere in the comments, but I just have to share what I found most annoying/frustrating about the pilot:
