Remember that Tesla’s main profits come from trading carbon offsets: instead of reducing CO2, Tesla uses the fact that they’re making electric cars to sell other companies the right to produce more CO2. In net, Tesla is increasing atmospheric CO2.

Who do you think played the Demogorgon?

I’d argue it’s improved. The Interdimensional Cable episodes were terrible.

King of Killers

The Barbie film is a resounding rejection of Nietzsche. At the start of the film, the Barbies are the Uberfrau, each of them enacting their will-to-power. While the Kens represent an underclass, they’re not explicitly oppressed by their Barbies, but by the subservient morality that stands in contrast to the master…

Variety reports that Tom Cruise actually entreated SAG-AFTRA “to allow movie stars to continue promoting their new films, given the challenging theatrical landscape.” When SAG-AFTRA reportedly counted by asking Cruise to join the picket lines and come out publicly in support of the labor action, he was “noncommittal.”…

Don’t forget “grabbing an oil tanker to use as a baseball bat to slam a kaiju”. Also, mad props to Idris Elba for making “Today, we are cancelling the apocalypse!” sound like an actually badass line and not the absolute high camp it actually is.

There’s definitely a sense of it being a wink and a nod, as if a lot of the behind the camera creatives are afraid of taking the whole thing too seriously. And the storytelling is rushed, because it’s definitely built for short-attention-span theater. Which hey, the pace of ClassicWho could get punishing at times, so…

I was never the biggest fan of RTD’s run (not that I loved Moffat or Chibnall either*), so while I’m not overjoyed that he’s back, I do have to say: the costuming is on point.

To be fair, neither did Lynch’s- that was the producers meddling

Neither of them is terribly good, honestly, but Lynch at least captured the feeling of a world where space travel is powered by taking a shitload of drugs. The Villeneuve version just isn’t weird enough for me. The technology designs feel too plausible. The costumes are too bland. The sets are… meh. Lynch made an…

The best Florida movie is The Florida Project. Moody and desperate, with Willem Dafoe as a supporting actor for a lead cast of nobodys, centered around kids who don’t know how miserable things are because, well, they’re kids.

Honestly, it was mostly the writing. He was just too callous all the way through. They didn’t stick with the “he’s a giant shit” characterization, but he was never a nice Doctor. But I do have a soft spot for the “Two Doctors” special.

Doctor Who has always almost always been sexy. Hartnell was sexy grandpa. Troughton was sexy uncle. Pertwee was sexy swinger uncle. Baker was sexy goofball. Davison was sexy prep school twink. Baker II was not sexy. McCoy was sexy college professor. McGann was 90s made for TV sexy.

I mean, I don’t see a problem with it. The system is the system, and at a certain point, you’ve gotta make compromises, regardless of what industry you work in. You can be critical of it while still participating in it.

Actually, I don’t get that from the quotes. I think he also thinks Superman and the Flash were mindless entertainment- but Superman was “one and done” and the Flash was “only a few weeks” of work- in other words, he’ll still turn up for a paycheck, which hey- acting is a job.

Now that Extraction is clearly a franchise, the biggest thing to talk about is the titular scene in every film. For the unfamiliar, the premise: Chris Hemsworth is a mercenary who is hired to extract people from dangerous situations. In the most recent film: a Georgian crime boss is in prison, and he’s forced his wife…
