To people saying “lol who expects applause at a movie trailer” 1) at least in my experience, trailers at sold our shows don’t get applause but they do get whispers afterwards, reactions from kids, some kind of response 2) the trailer is painfully obviously awkwardly edited for applause

I thought I was free of Mr. Avocado by leaving Facebook but seeing as he has now graced my eyes he once told people sleeping upside down would help them avoid arthritis because bats can't get it (note: bats can get arthritis)

Cunk spittin Christmas cheer

Look man I'm not saying porn addiction isn't a thing but the "root" for most people is "Gotta bust"

Have a safe and wonderful Christmas everyone

Finally His time in the spotlight has come

One of my favourite parts of this movie is Scrooge's housekeeper having one of the most realistic reactions to his completely rapid change of heart: she freaks the fuck out

Implying people putting up boundaries on toxic parents is some kind of fad is deeply *DEEPLY* evil but I don't expect less from Sarah Ditum

I remember a discourse where one (very erudite) lit prof was arguing against the necessity of conflict. I wrote an essay about it. simonmcneil.com/2022/04/06/s...

Hard to overstate how bad this is. The people doing anti-hate and anti-disinformation work are now being sanctioned by the United States of America. This is really, really, really bad.

There seems to be this idea that "conflict" is like fighting a giant dragon or some shit and like. No. That's really dumb lol "I hope my partner has a nice night" IS conflict! It's low stakes conflict but it's what the reader engages with to keep their interest

It's antisemitic to shoot at random Jewish people in the name of Zionism-are we still pushing this bullshit?

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, is here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative

I somehow missed the Frank Mitchel namedrop every time I watched this before lol

This is the perfectly observed piece of comedy. Auld Fella’s from the North love telling stories that are just surprisingly emotionally devastating.

His Scooby Doo skit is legitimately heartbreaking "I didn't solve many mysteries after that because I wasn't afraid anymore. I already faced me greatest fear"

I don't even *LIKE* Love and Thunder but we're undoing the potential of the ending to go on this "Sad Dad" adventure lol ok

yesterday

Apparently this Doctor Seuss villain has issues with people disliking a child rapist

Happy "But When is it Christmas ADAM?!" to all who celebrate!

And Tiny TIm, who did NOT die, eventually became a lawyer. Last week he entered a fast food restaurant. Just ahead of him, two men got into an argument. One of them pulled a knife. He who would always make the best peace tried to break it up. He was stabbed in the throat. He died almost instantly.

A YouTuber with "Geography" in their title doesn't know what "South" is

Well got to the ending of Paddington 2 again

Year later I stand by this again this moment is so fucking emotional even if I know everything is gonna be fine

You are an adult you will NOT get broken up by Paddington's sad face over the Browns missing visiting in Paddington 2

I'd love to know what the explanation for the last 48 hours is if the answer isn't "She's evil corrupt and incompetent"?

Still absolutely adore a major subplot in this film is Paddington causing prison reform

Inside you there are two….

I agree

"Mrs Brown says that in London everyone is different, and that means anyone can fit in. I think she must be right - because although I don't look like anyone else, I really do feel at home. I'll never be like other people, but that's alright, because I'm a bear. A bear called Paddington."

Never forgiving Chapo Trap House for popularising this idea that Avatar is some anti-imperialist text It is AT BEST some white liberalist bullshit made by a man who acts like he can tell the Lakota people what's what with authority and is filled with a bunch of appropriative elements

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

I love that small moments of the Browns looking at the kids trying to spruce up Paddington just the overwhelming wordless looks of love this movie is so pure

You do not in fact have to hand it to Dave "Im a terf who just got paid by the saudi monarchy to do a show" Chappelle cause he acknowledged its evil to kill journalists covering Israel's genocide of Palestine.

CBS burying the 60 Minutes CECOT story is exactly why the Ellison family shouldn’t be allowed to buy Warner Bros. Discovery

Thank you Australia for (in this instance if nothing else) upholding reality

This is monstrous We can't just accept this technology as normal. It never will be

I have no words just incoherent rage

Mrs. Brown having the empathy to go back to Paddington and see if he needs help always gets me 😭 Especially with Mr. Brown pushing aspersions on him-I've said what works about these movies is the reincorporation of Paddington as an immigrant stand in for contemporary times

I'm seeing people go "The normies will LOVE Steve Rogers coming back!!" and I mean. Will they? I know this is anecdotal & I know annoying MCU hating weirdos say this all the time post-Endgame but it's never felt more done than it has now Most folks don't know there IS an Avengers movie coming up!

I mean they gotta go to the voter base they want to appeal to it's just common sense

Mrs. Claus’ favorite time with Santa.

I don't think it's controversial to say just how much more selfish people have become post-COVID. Like from benign rudeness to how much inhumanity people express when talking about migrants It's legitimately disheartening and I don't exactly know how we can resolve it

This guy and that guy who namesearches Woody Allen to defend him should go out for drinks

Shout out to Derek Jacobi who is not only PARTICULARLY embarrassing in this it's fitting a guy who believes Shakespeare is fake is in a fake Shakespeare movie

Now that we have a clearer vision of the Doomsday teaser the pause on the motorbike being a fucking product placement bit is the most hilariously cynical things I have ever witnessed Disney are now just shilling advertising in T E A S E R S now the care has never been less than it is now

I'm okay with them replacing Shakespeare's dialogue for an adaptation for this play-even ignoring it's one of his most well known texts it's an interesting challenge as a writer-I just expect the dialogue you replace it with to not be shit
