My favorite odd couple is Tuvok and Neelix. Let’s just say this video encapsulates their entire relationship:

Naaah, I’ve noticed the trend. When a series or movie franchise for any reason sours with the audience, even the good stuff is taken on bad faith. Piling on the franchise becomes the common source of visceral joy since you know you can lie about it as much as possible wirhout repercussion. It’s almost a form of…

Ludicrous speed, jammed radar, surrounded by Assholes, playing with dolls, the most brilliant breaking of the 4th wall in the history of cinema (‘’When does this happen in the movie?’’), luggage combination, restoring the princess’s old nose, Spaceballs the flamethrower, capturing the stunt doubles, using the…

While certainly not as packed as the original, Airplane 2 has its gems:

‘’Dr. Stone, would you give the court your impression of Mr. Striker?’’ ‘’I’m sorry, I don’t do impressions, my training is in psychiatry.’’

Stiker painting flowers while a woman in topless poses for him.

I honestly don’t. They’re annoying and extremely repetitive. Essentially, like their albums. I’ve never seen a group so into hyperproduction yet with so little to show for it. They’ve should have made half as many albums, but making sure the songs are top notch. Symbols is pretty much the only album where the bulk of…

The ‘murder’ of the blender is probably the most horrifying thing of them all! The poor fella even makes a feeble attempt at hiding. 

The MONKEYS? HOW? In what way are the monkeys supposed to be representative of African Americans? I’ve never even heard of this. They aren’t even voiced by black actors or even in a voice stereotypical of African Americans. The monkeys snatching Mowgli in particular speak like typical ‘white’ rascals of the time.

I’m…

Why Jungle book? What the hell is in the jungle book that is offensive? A culturally insensitive depiction of the Beatles?

So how is it ‘’mysogynistic’’ to point out that many abusive women really do use this sort of shaming language towards men that can be summed up as ‘’You’re not a real man!’’ and for which thus the term ‘’emasculating’’ is not only factually accurate, but the only one that adequately encapsulates the dynamic of the…

Cried like a little b**** at the suicide scene in ‘’Rules of Attraction.’’

In my defense, this is NOT the kind of movie to watch after a painful break-up.

‘’No one ever knows anyone. Deal with it.’’

Not one, but TWO deathless parodies. Road Runner was originally a parody of Tom and Jerry. 

So... I have this question: What is NOT a stereotypical image of, say, an Asian person? Do they not eat rice with chopsticks? Should they be depicted eating European dishes with a fork?

There is a big double bind here: if a minority is depicted in stereotypical ways and doing stereotypical things commonly associated…

Give it time. Its brilliance will shine through in the long term. People who didn’t take the 2 year gap tend to have a far more positive view of the show because they kept track of the overarching themes instead of creating a fan-servicy ending in their heads. 

Well, I finally finished Season 3 and all I can say is... wow! In a world of endless cultural pablum, David Lynch is the gift that keeps on giving, one of the few avant-guarde artists who achieved mainstream prominence and kept it. With each new work his style continues to mature and refine itself.

I can’t help but…

‘’ I simply think that Lynch wasn’t conscious of these things when casting the role,’’

Good! He shouldn’t be! Because this petty racial calculus over every single role out there is pretty much destroying art in a blatant attempt to infuse progressive ideology into all art and all culture. 

The first president in ages not to entangle the USA in an interventionist war. It’s obvious why the main power centers in America, especially the weapons manufacturers, came at him with a vengeance. From what I’ve heard Biden already has a rather hawkish cabinet in mind.

She died from the West Nile virus. It doesn’t normally exist in the Balkans, but there was one brief period where it was a concern, and I guess this was the time it hit her.

She was a Croatian actress who married a Serbian director. As a consequence, both had to flee for their lives from Zagreb, the capital of Croatia,…

This wouldn’t work for several reasons:

The first is that it invalidates the entire premise of the story, which is that obsession and thirst for absolute power cause strife and that absolutist power as an institution is something best gotten rid of. The show ends with a king who doesn’t want power and a council who,…

I think above all the Pythons should be praised for their editing. They knew what to keep and what to cut. Every deleted scenes sketch I ever saw (especially the painfully unfunny Hitler caricature of Otto in Life of Brian) has been of markedly inferior quality than what stayed on the big screen.

Quite possibly the greatest and most culturally influential song in a non-musical:

Always look on the bright side of life:
