i would simply not let that happen to me

could they not have at least tried to come up with a good name for a british-american film studio in the 40s

saw the lady from shanghai again did people really call macau "muh-KAY-oh" or was orson welles tripping

presumably it would be tough to be a cinephile with a law degree cuz you'd be looking at all these elaborate plots in old noirs and be like yeah none of these would actually hold up in court

idea: 20% of the strait of hormuz can be traversed for free but you have to use special tokens to unlock the rest of the waterway. you can earn such tokens by traversing other major maritime chokepoints or by purchasing them from the IRGC directly

thing about "alexi lalas" is that the name evokes a brilliant uruguayan midfielder playing for inter milan in the 90s who was sadly too good for both club and country but no he was just a new england revolution center back

remain very much in awe of that movie thing where they're like "we built a house specifically on two axles so when it collapses it will look realistic" and i hope it's a sense of awe i will never lose

doomed to root for spain (including this one) just because i watched xavi and iniesta passing the ball back and forth for 5 of my teenage years

just stumbled and landed in some funny lagoon

special type of theatrical experience where you have to appreciate what a film actually wants to do while desperately trying to ignore what it feels obliged to do. just saw the furious btw completely unrelated

BING BONG MOTHERFUCKERS

Are women bourgeois?

they got the coen brothers doing var checks now

my mayor wuhanese we have no bagels

not surprised that the maoist wemby only shot .36 while the gaokao is currently happening. he was distraught over this bourgeois counter-offensive against the proletarian revolution in chinese education

if the knicks win it's great for me, an ex-new yorker and if the knicks lose it's also good for me because it shows they can't win without me being physically in new york

this qualifies as exceptionally woke in 30s france

always found the "ai-hate" in the last mission impossible movies exceedingly generic and then i played the new 007 game where the bad guy straight up has gen-ai art in his office and they make you walk through a dedicated section where they talk about how ai can restore venus de milo's arm and shit

it's normal and even at times good to flunk your interviews but it gets a bit more problematic when there are like a total of 8 companies in this business

good collection they got here

happy pride from my employer :)

the new bond game is the spiritual successor of the batman arkham games as they follow the exact gameplay loop: you take your time and strike from the dark, and then you get too cocky and everyone is shooting at you

problem with this place is that the following tab is monopolized by good posters who post too hard and the discover tab the "who else thinks the supreme court is corrupt?" types

in the new bond game bond gets really upset when some dude claims it's odin that will blow gjallarhorn and herald the beginning of ragnarok. this is very funny and further proves that this guy is not bond

#newpfp #happypride

as a fundamentally movie person i do have this often rapidly disproven illusion that it's acceptable to play a video game at 30fps

i do like how the fact that it's a "bond game" sets up expectations so specific when a character is introduced you'll be like yeah you'll be dead in two hours and i'll be a bit sad about it

remember when they used to put joseph cotten in movies (well you can't anymore because he's been retired and also dead for years)

kinda crazy to kick off your acting career like this

it's kinda goofy that since i decided to start learning french seriously like a year ago i have seen a total of 2 french movies. not sure that's how it should work

is panahi not aware of the 1-inch tall barrier deal

oomf after being badly ratioed

195 BC wokisme

when they shut down the simpsons game i was like well i've been on this for a decade now and the thrill is long gone so even if they somehow brought it back it's probably time to move on. yeah i'm a liar

flunk an interview HARD which sorta proves that i'm not cut out for a line of work i'm contemptuous towards

whataboutist who's like if homer wasn't one guy then neither was hesiod

scholars of antiquity have long debated whether "IGN" was an actual historical figure or merely a mythical personification of evil among 21st century machine worshippers

waow

doctor: it's a girl! congratulations! she's so lovely gamer father: ok but why is she getting overwhelmingly positive reviews when she doesn't even require that much player input tho

i think this means batman arkham knight was leftist on release but moved to the right later (many such cases)
