Disney based her on Tallulah Bankhead.

The basest of Waters villains have at least a trace of relatable motivation or ideology
No one is perpetuating a lie. Clinton was Obama’s Secretary of State and she supported horrible policies (i.e. drone strikes) that got a lot of innocent people killed, including children.
I’m not going to says he for sure knew about Epstein, but people pull the “Oh, I had no idea” excuse with Harvey Weinstein and I…
Well, let’s be honest, Glenn Close’s Cruella was the main character. Nobody went to those movies to see the dogs. And she was great but they didn’t try to make her loveable, they leaned even harder into the villainy.
They kind of did make films like that in the 90's. The Straight Story is a Disney film. But The Straight Story made 6.2 million at the box office, even though it only cost $10 million to make. Films that win Oscars tend to be the kind of thing that you’re lucky if it barely breaks even, Oscar winners that make…
No it didn’t. Pokemon was first released for the Gameboy in Japan in 1996, the first Digimon pets were released a year later.
The Pokemon anime premiered in 1997 and Digimon didn’t release until almost two years later. The only thing that Digimon beat Pokemon to in the US was the virtual pet market and that’s because…
Yeah but Lucy Lawless could actually act and turned Xena into a character the audience cared about. Meanwhile Gina Carano’s first foray into acting led to her be so atrocious that the director had to have someone come in and dub over her lines Toho style.
It’s a very meta story that parodies the way women are portrayed throughout the history of British literature (particularly during the Victorian era) and it’s often compared to the novels and stories of Angela Carter for how it deconstructs and reconfigures familiar literary tropes.
It’s hard to condense the novel…
Within thirty minutes after Luke finds the scorched remains of his aunt and uncle in A New Hope, there’s a whole bit with C3-PO and Chewbacca playing holochess that’s done for laughs. Hours after seeing her entire home planet blown up by a new weapon that can commit galactic wide genocide at the press of a button,…
Did... Did they just copy-and-paste their villains from the Futurama episode where Planet Express plays against the Globetrotters and Farnsworth makes a team of basketball mutants so they’ll have a chance?
it is a frontal assault on fundamental democratic rights, such as innocence until proven guilty, the right to a fair trial, etc.
They’ve never said anything concrete, but Wendy and Lisa said they left his band because the atmosphere turned really misogynistic when Prince brought in Jerome Benton, Gregg Brooks, and Wally Safford, his bodyguards turned background dancers (and I use that term very loosely). That’s what led to Prince’s backing band…
Also, to a lesser extent, she called the cops on Shane McGowan for having heroin. McGowan was pissed at her for years and said some very vicious things to the press, but in recent years he’s apologized to her and admitted what she did is probably what put him on the path to recovery.
It’s really bizarre they didn’t pick it up for Paramount+ since it seems like Nickelodeon’s brand is now 90% “Hey 20 and 30-somethings, remember that thing that you liked? Here it is but for adults!” and 10% nightmarish CGI remake/reimagining of beloved cartoons.
Yeah. I think everyone giving Barrymore shit need to remember that:
1.) She was barely an adult herself and had been battling drug addiction for years - like since the age most girls are playing with Barbies*. She’s not in the same boat as Gerwig and Winslet who were well into adulthood and worked with him after the…
I don’t think it’s that out there. The fourth Shrek came out in 2010 - almost a decade after the original - so a big segment of the people who grew up with Shrek were now young adults. It is trying to be sexy, but it comes off as weird more than obscene and it’s nothing anymore explicit than any other fashion magazine…
I remember The Simpsons trading card series from the 90's had rare cards you might get that were by artists like Gary Panter, with the rarest being a set of only 100 cards one-of-a-kind cards that were actual Matt Groening sketches of Bart. You know what was great about those? THEY WERE TANGIBLE, YOU COULD ACTUALLY…
All I remember about the show was no one could put the monkey puzzle together and one of the prize packages was always Hush Puppies. Oh, and I remember one episode where they won a set of Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear books. It was like Star Wars attempt at cashing in on the Goosebumps craze.
While there’s no way that a crossover happens, maybe they’ll incorporate some of the plot elements of 2018 She-Ra into Revelations? Because, I’m assuming, She-Ra and the Horde will show up at some point - She-Ra and Hordak were released pretty early in the Origins line and a Horde boxset including a retro Hordak,…
I didn’t mean the induction ceremony. I meant just in general that, up until now, her spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was something she has to share jointly with Ike despite the fact that the years of abuse are so well known and most of the public knows Tina Turner for her solo work at this point now. Although…
