Cool, and the legislation that will similarly punish men will be introduced in oh it won’t be? how bout that

Just rewatched Armageddon (a movie I love comprised mainly of things I hate, but then, so's a hot dog), and for the first time it hit me:

Every last character in this movie would have been at the Capitol on January 6th.

Every last one.

WHAT IS THAT? THAT FREAKY THING?!
(shut your mouth, that's our new queen)

... "Sequels"?

...
...
... *plural*?!

That must have been difficult to say.

Thankfully it's easy for me to say "get fucked, tucker carlson!"

Just rolls off the tongue.

all I’m saying is they put Britney under a conservatorship for a lot less

As long as a celebrity's life rights are controlled by an estate that stands to financially benefit from showing them in a positive light, there will never be an intellectually honest biopic.

I would take a hundred water skiing Fonzies over airless canon fidelity.

Whoever first added "the fuck" to a sentence genuinely killed.

I’d read a whole comics run or watch a whole streaming series about Young Magneto running down Nazis after the war.

Star Wars is at its best at engaging new audiences when it’s:

• Familiar, but New (ESB, ROTJ, TFA, TLJ, R1, Andor) or
