an archaic Senate procedure that purports to maintain bipartisanship, but in practice, just means minority rule and stagnation.

Oh no, is this going to end with a Beach Boys song and my 8 year-old finding out that Buster died in Vietnam?
Now playing
I will always maintain that the intro for the 1980s Equalizer tv show was absolutely stunning in conveying the claustrophobic, tense, sinister feeling of the city. That steady percussive beat building like your heartbeat racing along with it.
Great article- shame kinja is so borked that there aren’t even any comments yet an hour after publishing for me to reply to to get out of the greys
This article broadly encapsulates why I am not excited for Book of Boba Fett, except apply it to everything in the show. I’m tired of Tatooine, I’m tired of Star Wars organized crime, I’m tired of people trying to make Boba happen. So far nothing I’ve seen energizes me for the show, but I’ve heard the trailers are…
Tatooine is a lot like Boba Fett himself: boring and overused but for some reason Star Wars just can’t stop bringing it back.
I don’t think I’ll ever begrudge the rich and their private jets ever again. Your odds of seeing a woman breastfeed a cat while flying commercial, are now officially, not zero.
Gibson’s kind of a weird example, though, in that I think it’s hard to make a convincing case that he’s being given a pass because his bigotry was directed against Jews since there was also a healthy dose of racism and misogyny on top of the anti-semitism.
It seems way more likely that he’s getting a pass because his…
Most vans are ‘proof of sex’ vans with the booster seats and crushed Goldfish crackers on the floor.
Please add Dr. to Betty Shabazz’s name. She earned that...just as Dr. King did.
After watching Solo, another film stuffed to the brim with fanservice, I developed a good rule of thumb:
Virtue signaling is the only one I could see being insulting. To me, I associate it with people or brands who talk about stuff like racial justice, but don’t put any actions behind their words. Or even worse, their actions stand in contrast with their words.
The game needed this; we all needed this! And the way they’re making people wait for that album drop (chef’s kiss). The sound is just taking me back - and I about fell out my seat when Paak laid there dead LOL!
André Nemec [...] has said many times that fans shouldn’t expect his show to be a one-to-one remake of the original. That was abundantly clear when the first Cowboy Bebop trailer dropped this week, which was recognizably Bebop, but offered glimpses of some of those small changes will annoy nitpicky fans and likely no…
Progressives act like we have too many Joe Manchins in the Senate when in reality, we need 10 more just like him. The politicians who can win in red states will always be unpalatable to the Democratic base, and we need more of them.
Who on Earth is the audience that has time to watch half a TV show in anticipation of another, longer TV show but can’t find the time to watch the character and world-building other half of the first show?
Scream a better *franchise* than F13? Ok sure.
The current film restoration revolution is really fucking with my ability to date media. I used to be able to tell whether a movie or show was from the 90s/80s/70s/60s/etc. just based off the film quality, but the other day I saw some restored footage from 20s, and it looked like it was shot yesterday.
I’ve said this many times, but each of Brosnan’s films had a central idea at its core that tried to do something new and cool within the Bond formula:
