Yeah I don’t get why people hate on actors for wanting awards. Like I guess I can see where it might seem grating (particularly if you keep up a lot with Oscar campaigning, I sure don’t) but no shit they want awards!

You say “wanted” as if nobody wants to anymore...

NGE in a nutshell, indeed

Congratulations!

I’ve never liked EoE because it is such a downer ending. Like, it’s not that I need a happy ending for every story, but EoE is grim to an almost comical point. You’ve got two kids (one of whom is injured) alone on a beach in an apocalyptic world with no one else in the world around. They’ll be dead pretty soon for…

I came here all ready to trash this movie but then

Tom and Jerry have been aided in their survival by having several horrible straight-to-video movies (and a terrible live-action movie!) as well as surviving in people's memories as the basis for Itchy & Scratchy in The Simpsons.

That’s what I was thinking. I saw Popeye growing up in the 90s, I think via Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite or maybe Cartoon Network older cartoons because they didn’t have new stuff yet... or maybe it was because my dad loved old cartoons and I watched them on a VHS he had or something, but that’s clearly something that…

Elon Musk begins posting hardcore porn to Twitter going “I’m owning them so bad right now hahaha”

Might not have been the brightest move, but I mean, interviewing the guy who’s trying to pivot to original video content by giving you one of the platform’s first original shows is a pretty obvious ask. Plus it’s not like Jimmy Fallon interviewing the president of NBC, Elon is actually someone people know. Lemon was…

Well I knew those would happen, but I (foolishly) kind of figured that would be the minority! I haven’t heard of anybody trying to utilize these characters for anything remotely creative (beyond porn/gore) since getting out from under the Mouse’s thumb.

Never did I think I'd mourn Disney properties entering public domain

“A New York Post article claimed that it was because Lemon made too many demands, “including a free Tesla Cybertruck, a $5 million upfront payment on top of an $8 million salary, an equity stake in the multibillion-dollar company, and the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news content.””

I think it probably has something to do about how we read/watch a lot of fairy tales as kids where there are kings and queens and princesses and we think they’re really neat but then of course in the real world, they’re mostly gone. But the British ones are still around, and while they hold no real power, due to a…

Well you’re certainly right about athletes and politicians, but seeing how often we see stories like this about actors going “wait what, there are consequences to my actions? Oh this is bullshit!“, you’d think they might learn to shut their traps.

I’m simultaneously interested, but also think it’s a real bad idea. Black Mirror for me works because of the same reason the Twilight Zone works: they’re simple (or not-so-simple, whatever) concepts and we see a snippet of these strange worlds/dystopias and then it ends and it’s on to the next one. It lets your mind…

It’s wild to me how some people (especially famous ones) can’t just shut the fuck up and not let their careers be ruined. You wanna be awful? Fine, go vote for Trump but like, shut up about it.

I mean you’re right, they haven’t been “redeemed”, but like the article said, a lot of public perception of them has changed because people who saw them as kids are now old enough to get really defensive about them and dominate the conversation, flooding the internet with “hot takes” and essays/videos/tweets about how…

I feel like they kind of gave it to Miyazaki because of his legend status and because this was his final (no for realsies this time) movie. Because not gonna lie I found Boy and the Heron pretty weak compared to his other work.

It’s actually a Doki Doki Panic movie but reskinned/redubbed to be about Mario.
