"I don't feel comfortable that to get made, a lefty-ish piece of art had to be financed through generational wealth," I type from my cubicle at Rayheed Northdynamics, taking a sip from my Ravenclaw mug before fixing a big on the maternity ward seeking missile we're debuting next week.
he’s so modest
It would have been so funny for Vance to have to go back to Islamabad for the second time in two weeks after fucking everything up with Orban and getting ghosted by Erika Kirk, epic loser run
The sanitization and sanctification of Michael Jackson is one of those subjects I can't seem to talk about with calmness or rationality; I just stare at these money-machine enterprises and feel revulsion. I think I'll skip the discourse on this upcoming movie.
share a GIF from a western you love (there is a movie in which Joan Crawford plays a genderfluid cowboy and it is called Johnny Guitar and it is amazing)
Megan Ellison has been doing weird prestige stuff for years (she produced Phantom Thread and Riley’s last film) and from rumored tabloid reports hasn’t spoken to her father in years, I’d rather the children of rich kids make weird hard to market movies than run media conglomerates into the ground
This is genuinely one of the foundational copes of the modern conservative movement, a stabbed-in-the-back narrative about why the US lost Vietnam
Call Me by Your Name
CALL ME BY YOUR NAME directed by Luca Guadagnino, 2017
No.
Y'know what? No.
The entire mess Marvel is in has a lot of elements but a major one is that the Russos tied up the entire Marvel Universe with Endgame. Thematically, emotionally, structurally, the 10+ year buildup came to a climax and conclusion.
Don't pretend like it was a new beginning.
Endgame was an off-ramp for audiences after driving along the highway for 10 years with this series. Disney & Marvel is now asking the audience to get back on the highway and that’s not how driving works!
Even if you didn't sour on the films like I did, Endgame is an obvious ending, jumping off point, conclusion and epilogue. Tony Stark, the support beam of the MCU, gives his life so the universe may live, thanks Tony and thank you all for watching, drive home safely now.
They did it. They’ve really finally recreated the experience of trying to enjoy superhero comics. This is the most expensive “[Ish #215 -Ed.]” ever brought to pass
Calling MCU movies amusement park rides at this point is unfair because if an amusement park ride is this rickety and slapped together and held together by spit and polish, it's not passing safety inspection.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026, dir. Nia DaCosta)
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
“Conservatives are saying this unhinged thing about [GAME/BOOK/MOVIE], isn’t that wild?”
No. And why are you making us read it
here's an idea fellas, how about you put the critical plot thing in your new movie instead of extorting it from your fanbase.. or put it on disney plus or fucking youtube
The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:
“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”
We need to stop them immediately
The Jackson estate found a legal loophole to bury this documentary and plenty of people willing to make a nice shiny biopic
Laughing at the idea that the "first order of business if Dems win House/Senate" should be to re-introduce the right-wing immigration bill Biden/Harris tried to run on in 2024 to take the immigration issue off the table by making a ton of concessions to the anti-immigration right.
i love starting with "lots of strange reactions to this game" and following that up with the strangest reaction yet
people who say this act like if they weren't at the airport they'd be at home curing cancer. what exactly are your big plans for your extra 45 minutes at home you fuckin loser
Oedipus Rex
OEDIPUS REX directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1967
Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant
"Instead of just making it implicit that every MCU movie and Disney+ series since Endgame didn't matter, we're making it explicit."
