Seriously though: has that actually been done in a work of AU fiction before? And if not, can I borrow it from you and do something with it? Because that sounds delightful.

"My brotheh's taaaaaaaall!"

Kim Newman, is that you?

The movie's greatest strength is that it shows genuine sympathy and affection towards Treadwell while simultaneously never shying away from the fact that he was an absolutely ridiculous person. There's really no other way to effectively tell a story like his.

The only scene funnier than that one is when he throws a batshit tantrum at every single god he can think of demanding rainfall, then it actually happens and he seems hilariously smug about it.

I rewatch Grizzly Man at least once or twice a year, usually when I need to weep uncontrollably for a few minutes and then inexplicably feel better about my life in general.

I've only seen Aguirre. I went in knowing virtually nothing about it, and was running a fever at the time. It was goddamn amazing.

I'd love for Herzog to wander into my apartment one afternoon and just join in on whatever I'm bingewatching on Netflix.

I'm down with that! Regardless of how I feel about his filmmaking, I've always found his love of cooking to be hella endearing.

What finally killed my love of Rodriguez's work was Planet Terror. Not because I hated it (I didn't!), but because it made me realize something about him: every movie he's made in the last 15-odd years has been built around some kind of gimmick that allows him to indulge in his worst qualities as a filmmaker. "It's…

Post-Banderas Robert Rodriguez does a much better job of planning a movie than he does of making one, so I can't complain!

Skyfall is one of my favorite clusterfuck movies. It's no Cloud Atlas, but it's not too far off.

Ugh, aspartame!

It is! I do my best to keep my feelings about fandom and source material mutually exclusive, out of respect for the creators who accomplished exactly what they probably set out to do in the first place: they made something that resonated very strongly with a lot of people. It's how I can be a Steven Universe fan while…

But in the five years or so since then, laws have finally been passed to treat crimes like that as, well, crimes. While it certainly didn't definitively end the problem, any more than prosecuting anyone for the Leslie Jones situation will, I'd say it definitely did help create some positive change.

Nothing can be truly called the Golden Age of Television unless this happened in it.

But then I might actually have to watch a Jodorowsky movie instead of just namedropping him!

Which is why we as a nation desperately need to see one of them - just one, that's all I ask for now - being hauled off to federal prison for a few years. It may not change any minds, but it'll shut plenty of mouths.

Ooh man, somehow I had no idea Spiner was in it. That singlehandedly makes me a lot more optimistic about enjoying the show.

Setting aside whether or not you actually understand the nuances lf what does and does not constitute terrorism*, there needs to be a governmental push to establish that this shit is not okay. Who gives a damn if the groundwork for that precedent happens to involve a celebrity?
