Maybe “we’re using our made-up names,” which also involves Strange as the straight man.

And Mary Poppins “going ribald” is just...not not not not not Mary Poppins. Not.

If that whole thing were like one or two scenes, with her or him undoing it before they had sex, it would have been fine. Duh, I guess. But yeah, pretty much everything about it was just no. And some of it was sooooo long! Trying on outfits! Being scared of escalators!!!! Ugh.

It was...a true curate’s egg. I watched it on HBO then later at the theater, where the delicious parts were more delicious, and the rotten parts were...pretty rottener. But what I loved in it, I loved.

Hmmm...I have never really gotten much out of Casablanca, I don’t know why. But I’m definitely thinking about watching it again now.

Honestly, I didn’t really catch on to it beyond the surface nonsensical funniness of it for YEARS. Then all of a sudden, I was like, oh my gosh, he knows he’s marrying a man!!! Then I thought of the elevator ride, with the phalllic floor indicator going up up UP, and that’s the elevator ride where he pinched him, and…

It’s the fear of being perceived that’s really key to understanding what homophobia is, and how it manifests. Don’t act like that! Fear of being homosexual is almost secondary (and is really at the heart of the “gay panic” defense, though it’s not acknowledged as part of the defense. “He came on to me and I panicked!”…

Also, that’s what “gay panic” is... it’s when the spectre of gay desire scares a straight guy so bad that he had to kill it. Basically, “He came on to me/made me think he was going to gay-rape me/tried to turn me gay, so I panicked at the gay and killed him, like any normal guy would and should”.

Nailed it. Just like racism must not be very effectively bred into our society either, considering the rate of people who are not white.

The classic definition of homophobia, I think, is “fear of being homosexual or of being PERCEIVED as being homosexual”. I think the term was coined by an academic in the 1970s. So yeah, fear of being fat is a real thing. “Fatphobia” covers it pretty well. And yeah. It’s totally a thing...

I just saw Infinity War for the first time a couple months ago, and loved it, and that was by far my favorite exchange/joke. I laughed, and then still it took me a couple beats to realize “Hey, Dr. Strange ISN’T a made-up name, he’s a BRAIN SURGEON named STRANGE! HAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!”

All those things, and his bread and butter has always been playing a goofy, fun, HARMLESS hunk/pudgy hunk, which, I know: actor vs. roles. But it still makes him seem that much worse, I think - kind of, I just thought of this, Pennywise lol. He’s a clown who wants to eat you.

Because, they’re selfish! They see anyone else enjoying what they’re enjoying, bang - ruins it for them.

Yeah, my hackles went up a little at “misunderstood”. I’ve had people tell me I “just didn’t understand” a shit movie that I don’t like. Uh huh. That’s not why. And now you’ve insulted me.

I just happened to be at a friend’s house, looking for something to watch, and saw that it was coming on. I’d read this article and said “Hey, I heard this was good!” And it was! And honestly it was fun watching “Fantasy Island” on a Saturday night again, forty some years later.

There was an episode with Tina Louise that had to do with possession, and the Spanish Inquisition, I think. It was scary, as I recall!

Yeah but never really went as dark as you wished it would. 

Loved it. Both stories went in SERIOUSLY unexpected ways, and in ways which the original could only dream of. Both were what the original show could only hint at.

Those MCA albums were in pretty constant rotation on whatever device I was using for a lot of years.

You have that app already, it’s called your bladder.
