Reminds me of that amped up pitcher in "Everybody Wants Some"

$200 for 7 excellent films really isn't bad!
War of the Worlds!? Is this a studio thing?
My tinfoil hat suspects this is a stealth "convince more of us to use alt text" ploy.
"England Belongs To Me" is a song I do my best to try to enjoy out of context
the elite aren’t powerful politicians or billionaires. common misconception. the elite is anyone i think is cooler than me, funnier than me, more artistic than me, or generally anyone i resent for daring to be happier than i am despite my immense wealth and political clout
"Cave of Forgotten Dreams" is the only 3-d movie I've seen where the effect is absolutely essential to fully appreciate the film.
people act like the star wars prequels are these amazingly prescient texts about the rise of fascism and then you watch them and that’s like 5 minutes of screen time total across the trilogy. the rest of it is either racism or guys waving glow sticks around
"Why? Because fuck 'em! That's why."
"Shut up, baby. I know it."
This Watch, That Watch guy made a strong analogy about how something can get less fun as it grows:

Call it "desperation born from the pandemic" because it never would have happened if HBO wasn't in serious need of some "new" content to boost streaming numbers while movie theaters were mostly empty.
No it isn't. It's Snyder's version of Justice League, but a significant chunk of it was filmed and finished after the theatrical release.
I'm suddenly reminded of that time Madonna showed up to the MTV awards just to kiss Britney and Christina.
Same here, the big difference being we've actually spent some time thinking about Ms Theron.
I don't doubt that there are some seriously worrisome foreign entities out there, but when the bear in the forest is 800lb but the bear currently tearing your house to pieces is only 600lb, the weight difference is kind of moot.
I wanna make jokes, but it's just no fun watching things I've loved my whole life absolutely destroy themselves.
Real "family member with addiction" parallels here, though it'd be letting MLB off the hook to suggest that they can't control themselves.
People mock birds' goofy dances and ridiculous feathers, but we're no better.
you can literally just impeach all these guys. all you need is the votes. you don't even need a good reason
it's so funny that all these people are obsessed with decorum and can only bring themselves to take these bitchy little swipes at the president, who is one of the stupidest men on the planet. sir that man can barely read. you think he gives a shit
For a while in the late 90s, three Chicago bars were within walking distance of each other: Borderline, Holiday Club, and Lucky Star. We affectionately called it The Madonna District.
Fixed headline: "American Dudes, Too Weak To Handle American Women, Turn to Sex Trafficking"
One place I'll 100% agree on the Madonna/Jeter comparison is that both overstayed their welcome in a way (and to an extent) that it damaged their legacies.
I see your point, and those are all understandable reasons to not like Madonna. But art is funny that way. For about 10 years, she and her collaborators found magic. A good example of the strength of her music is that *so many* people tried to replicate it at the time and couldn't.
Simmons recently declared Basic Instinct to be one of the 4 best San Francisco movies, ahead of:
Bullit
The Rock
Zodiac
Point Blank
The Conversation
Dirty Harry
Star Trek IV
The Game
Invasion of the Body Snatchers ('78)
Conclusion: Bill Simmons is an idiot.
Hell yeah! I haven't read that comic in over 30 years, but that top panel and the narration are burned in my memory
The Xavier/Juggernaut ending blew my mind as a kid: [spoiler alert] the idea that the magic powers making him invincible might also make him immortal as he flies through space for eternity...
"He gave his word!"
Trust me, I didn't forget. That entire song is a treasure trove of bananas lyrics: looptid, the Burger King bathroom, MC Hammer on crack, crackers and licorice, lumpy oatmeal, Samoans!
It's my favorite rap song of all time. Its ridiculousness doesn't get in the way of an amazing groove.
