One of the smartest things they did with the show was release the first three episodes on day one, so people could see that whole arc and be assured that everything on the show was going somewhere.

How much gratuitous violence against gay people can they cram in?

My favorite part is the people playing as the crazy fans who insist she never did anything wrong and the movie is slandering her.

Bill Burr: “How about we believe 87% of women? That seems like a reasonable amount.”

Let’s see what Matt Damon has to say.

That whole “Ariel does it all for Eric” thing is complete bullshit. The original movie couldn’t be clearer that she’s been interested in humans for years before she ever knew he existed, and she even explicitly says that trip to his boat party is the first time she’s ever seen them up close. He just happens to be the…

Was anyone else kind of hoping for an exchange like this?

There’s actually already a Stranger Things play.

So...Ashley again gets no focus? If that holds for the entire second season, it really feels like they’re wimping out on the initial idea of making her gay, patting us on the head and saying “Don’t worry, she hardly ever shows up and you can just skip past the handful of scenes about her.

Just like Love and Thunder, I saw this movie before anyone could tell me I was supposed to not like it. So now I’m stuck having the wrong opinion about it, as dictated by society. Sorry, I guess.

Granted, I had no idea Slate was actually Jewish, but it never once occurred to me that the character could be seen as a stereotype. Unless there’s some “Jews abuse dogs” thing I’m not aware of.

And spoken by a white character in the game who’s turned black.

So that was definitely Dina trying to get a peek at Ellie, right?

Also, Dr. Seuss very much came to regret the offensive characterizations in his early work, not least because his family had suffered terrible prejudice for being German immigrant brewers during World War I. He absolutely would have approved of the recent work done to them.

The big difference between this and stuff like the editing of Dr. Seuss books is that Dahl’s offensive material wasn’t just “it was a different time” ignorance. He was 100% being an offensive bastard on purpose, and taking it out is directly against the effect he was going for.

It very much feels like M3gan was supposed to kill the therapist, given that “You made her cry” is the first sign of the growing darkness in her, and the way the character abruptly disappears before the third act. It also feels like this would have provided what feels kind of like a missing step in the theatrical…

An underrated Wuthering Heights adaptation is the 1967 BBC miniseries, with Ian McShane as Heathcliff in his first big acclaimed role.

And then there’s Happy Death Day 2U, which actually expands on the concept in a bunch of fun ways by digging into how the loop was created in the first place, including the reveal that the minor comic relief roommate from the first movie is actually a genius and really nice guy who we just happened to catch on a bad…

You can, if you don’t mind sounding like the Architect from The Matrix.

I recently rewatched Death Becomes Her, and the movie’s ending where Willis’ character is said to have achieved immortality through his legacy of beloved family and good works is so much more moving and meaningful now.
