Please tell your husband that a random thrifty lady on the internet said he’s very lucky to have you

“It was just the ‘culture wars’ buttons it pushed”

My husband is tempted to get Disney Plus just for the Mandalorian (which I understand was the intention). But I convinced him that all we really need is to watch clips of Baby Yoda for free on the internet.

It’s fun when they release a director’s cut of a movie that you saw but don’t remember very well and you can’t tell the difference.

How the fuck is Blade Runner: 2049 not on this list?

“Zero Dark Thirty was decried by some at the time as pro-torture propaganda”

Maybe culture doesn’t exist in a vacuum, and is in constant conversation with the culture/society/politics that both influenced it and it influences? Maybe it’s as simple as there not being anyone on the staff who cared to die on the “allegations aside, how ‘bout that Charles Grodin cameo?” hill?

P&R does suffer a bit because it’s almost THE defining show of the Obama era (maybe even the most defining piece of pop culture of the era). Now that it’s turned into a hideous nightmare and every shred of idealism and hope that went with it has been turned to crap, it’s hard to crawl back into that world. It says a…

You’re right that there’s nothing wrong with a show with that kind of vision (The Good Place has arguably the same general ethos and it’s a huge hit), but what makes it hard for me to watch these days is the combination of kindness and low stakes that are on display in most episodes. After nearly a thousand days of…

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like Louis CK’s output in the 2010s?

I’m surprised to see Parks and Recreation so high up on the list. I was a huge fan when it was airing, but things have changed so massively since it finished that it no longer resonates for me at all. When it went off the air in 2015 it was possible to think a ragtag group of lovable misfits could find common cause…

In the distant future when the Oscars do their In Memoriam section can the just run this clip with Paul Rudd's name for him.

Conan really struggled to hold it together introducing the clip ‘from the new TV show’, knowing what’s to come. Meanwhile Rudd can as usual be completely deadpan about it.

Who could forget that American Pie is so long? Isn’t that what it’s most famous for?

Tara Reid being a bankable box office celebrity feels like such a long, long time ago.  

Steven Universe I think is the one thing kids have now that would have uplifted the world of 1988 more than any other. It played a part of me being able to admit I was transgender even when I was 36, just as a measure of how far-reaching and powerful its messages of freedom and love and inclusivity and talking…

Yeah, I’m not saying it’s BAD, necessarily, just something that felt noticeable to me in the movie. It sticks out because they have Flash refer to the fact that Peter doesn’t have a lot of money but it reads more that Flash’s family is rich than Peter is scraping by. 

It’s been SEVEN years since Bendis did the O5 time travel thing. SEVEN.

One word: Murderworld

Maybe it’s a publishing rights thing. Also, I bet the live action release drives sales of the original, both the movie itself and merchandise based on it.
