If Twitter and Musk somehow destroyed each other then it’d be a fantastic piece of MAD. Both stink, both toxic, both inexplicably part of the public consciousness. Eat the rich.

Came here to say the same thing. It’s utterly shitty but also unsurprising that a citizen from one of the world’s most racially homogeneous nations might have no understanding or appreciation of racial diversity. It’s Japan, racism and insular attitudes are kinda baked-in: famously closed their borders til Commodore

Why is it anytime something SNL related leaks my first reaction is, "WTF is this shit?". If these are the highlights... speaking as a filthy non American, I don't get it.

WWhy does every utterance from this production just sound like defensive sour grapes? Why shouldn’t straight actors play gay? Or any orientation, occupation or life experience - they’re actors. The lack of open gay leading actors

In another universe, Dewey Cox did gangbusters and essentially killed off the cliché music biopic.

Worth noting that the original game was a big piece of shít when it released: the network code in particular was shocking & I recall us abandoning plays ‘cos it couldn’t handle the dozen or so of us at a LAN. I think patch 1.4 was the one that fixed the Network Code and the game kinda took from there.

That colour grading truly is godawful. Why do people want to make their films look so bad?

Remember when a new movie from Robert Zemeckis was cause for excitement? Instead of this unending sequence of movies filled with CGI mannequins

Just because there’s precedent doesn’t meant it’s ok we’re potentially seeing a new, different form of arrested development in male adults. Not if there’s mental health problems coming down the tracks formed from these streamers. Can’t speak to America but male suicide is a growing problem nobody seems to have an

I feel like in years to come, when the dust settles on this phenomenon of para-social relationships, there’ll be a LOT of psychological reports, and general cultural fallout from those males who transitioned into their 30s and older with only _this_ kind of experience in relationships (be they emotional or sexual -

If people like this kind of comedy, then go with god. But I barely managed to make it to the halfway point, before having to stop the video. The old man voice in my head says: remember when comedy writers wrote gags?

No love for Foundation? It’s not perfect, far from it, but proper unabashed Space Opera is a rare pearl and the trio of Emperors the show’s most fascinating, magnetic aspect. It also looks absolutely beautiful, really owning the sense of a galaxy far in the future, both otherworldly yet familiar through its production

So: what do these people do when not posing for photos? Some of the costumes look incredibly bulky and awkward to walk around in; do they just pop into a bathroom and change into their normal clothes for most of the conventions - dressing up then for a scheduled period at the con for cosplay? Fascinated by the banal

Jordan Peele is not an especially great horror director. He has a good eye for the visual and his topicality has probably made him a darling of the hashtag cinematic slacktivist ... but he has made one good thriller. That's it. A little perspective could go a long way.

Makes sense a pair of hacks, barely capable of stringing action scenes into anything resembling coherency, mightn’t understand the value of the cinematic image.

Damnit; hate it when shows get cancelled while I’m still watching ‘em. Results in me instantly hitting a “why bother?” mindset.

Thanks to the Multiverse, he’s not gone anymore anyway. As fun as its use has been in the MCU so far, the multiverse absolutely causes the death of death in this franchise. Cap will be back; maybe as a cameo, maybe an evil version but I’d put money on it.

I’m crossing fingers, toes and all the rest this is a decent Switch port. Too often they amount to ramping the quality sliders down, and throwing it over the wall. hopefully there’ll be some smart, considered optimisation that doesn’t excessively sacrifice visual quality.

I’m starting to get the impression Netflix doesn’t know what it’s doing.

That Wonder Woman. Oh yes.
