One piece of advice I’d give to people my age and younger than me is that - you may not like it / it may not seem to make sense - but if you are trying to understand the foundations of the “manosphere” you have to watch Edward Norton’s filmography. Rounders is as important as Fight Club for this

Oh yeah definitely the one thing sci fi and fantasy has been missing is the male gaze

Well, goddamn. I bet if they’d let him make the Ben Solo movie this wouldn’t have happened. But now AI slop is apparently all we’ll get - you all - it was a really good run from Soderbergh

The fact that so many people still believe in norms and justice is a clear indicator that - at their hearts - humans are inherently optimistic. Not me, but other people are and I'm thankful for that.

Not getting to see this movie will be on my fucking tomb stone - I'm so tired of people who don't have an ounce of imagination, artistry, or even a fucking optimistic, hoepful bone in their bodies not having a single finger on the pulse of what people want & making millions off of being dead inside

And also, not to be incredibly dramatic, but if I don't get to watch The Other Bennet Sister because of an addled septugenarian, I'm gonna be shouting about it in the afterlife too.

Feels silly to be responding to emails like "thanks for providing this PPT, Greg, please see where I've made my additions" without also being able to say "if we're still able to breathe the air by the date this meeting is scheduled for, happy to attend once I've navigated the rubble to the office"

Seeing a disturbing amount of takes that boil down to “we need to go to space, but not like that” … Like when then? When the world’s not on fire? When capitalism isn’t the dominant economic policy? There’s never going to be a good time if that’s the criteria…

Heard someone say that the body image of Millennials was shaped by paedophiles & goddamn, it's true. Didn't know a single girl in high school without serious body image issues / ed and it was all because the men who owned mall stores wanted women to permanently be underdevoloped and moldable

Oh, just the normal Sunday night scroll that ends with me crying after watching the YouTube clip from the 1984 Tonys of Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters performing from Sunday in the Park with George

We watched Klute tonight, my 2nd time. For some reason it hit like I had never seen before - like the first time I was watching through a veil and this time the veil had been lifted - anyway, I'll always advocate for re-watches of things - you never know what movies you're meeting at the right time

Just finished watching "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" and I had been dreading seeing it, b/c I read the Wiki plot a long time ago - anyway, it's as depressing as I expected but a great reminder that America as a country has never been great, but it does produce amazing art and artists as a result

Looking back, pretending that perfection was the standard human setting was a big mistake. 100%? A joke - wish I could have convinced my 16-year-old self of this

I know we don’t deserve it right now - as Americans - but not being able to watch The Other Bennet Sister really makes me feel like “globalization” for sheer capitalism’s sake has failed

Have any of the cis men suffering from the Male Loneliness Epidemic thought about just dating women their own age? An ideal date night for many of these women just involves a curated playlist thar includes Dave Matthews' Crash and a baked ziti dinner with good garlic bread

Anybody know what happened to this guy?

Goddamn it, I mean I hate to sound like a real asshole, but if your books have been adapted multiple times and you're just like "oh my god, what should I be saying from my privileged/monetized mountain top?" The answer is probably "Nothing. Keep your mouth shut for now"

"John, I'm sorry, can you repeat your reasoning for jumping in on the third iteration of a long-outdated and poisonous franchise? I can't hear you when your face-down in your pile of money"

Oh, you all thought that I was just never gonna find out that Diane Keaton was the star in a Justin Beiber music video about a song that has conspiracy theories attached to it?! Wrong! I found it and I'm obsessed youtu.be/Fp8msa5uYsc?...

Who needs Sunday Scaries when you can decide to clean out a Rubbermaid filled of old things and find the results of both SAT exams that you took to be reminded that the final score was exactly the same both times. Anyway, it's almost 26 years later...it's totally fine

Tonight's Viewing

14th death under ICE custody that we know of. We will update this story as soon as we get more details. We reached out to ICE and DHS on Wednesday night and have received no response.

Tonight's Viewing

I had never seen Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf before and now I have and, my god, what a picture. There's something inexplicable and primal happening between Burton and Taylor and I'm not sure it can be replicated. Feels like thunder and lightning captured in a bottle

Somebody make an old Hollywood movie where Kyle Chandler can play Rock Hudson... or a new rom com where he can play a Rock Hudson type:

The combination of the wait and the song is really too brutal

THE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE It's not all on studios to make sure their films are a) good and b) in theaters for a longer theatrical window to get people to theaters. It's on THEATERS to not provide just the lowest bar experience. Paying $20 to watch someone on their phone, awful

Ready Or Not, Here I Come once again confirms my theory that any cast that pulls multiple actors from the 1998 masterpiece 'The Faculty' together is looking to do something better. Allowing Sarah Michelle Geller to do her signature staking move? Also the right choice

the government is saying “underage girls are testing positive for pregnancy at ICE detention centers” instead of saying “ICE agents are raping & impregnating underage girls.”

Women don't want Tech Bro Start Up Podcaster Wannabillilonaires with yachts that are are hunted by orcas, they just want James Garner in The Great Escape

Hi! I don't think Toho has a bsky so I'll post it - my first commissioned work for all the official Godzilla channels and I handmade everything that isn't a toy. Enjoy xo

Can't stop thinking about how the Dune 3 trailer was like so clear about it being the last one "GUYS YOU'RE GETTING A TRILOGY BECAUSE TRILOGIES ARE COOL AND ALSO BECAUSE WB ARE COWARDS WHO NOT ONLY ARE SELLING TO THE ELLISONS BUT WHO ALSO WON'T COMMIT TO A HUMAN TURNING INTO AN ETERNAL SAND WORM!"

Well, looks like this episode is down one known transphobe and conspiracy peddler. Hopefully AEW is reacting appropriately and not giving any more airtime to Rousey. A bit worried b/c we still had to hear the name on commentary - but for now I'll believe they listened to the fans #AEWDynamite

Happy International Women's Month (Pt 4) - Buffy reboot cancelled by a man who never even watched an episode? Very on brand for America where the Patriarchy is even dumber than you could fathom if you didn't live here

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

I can't explain it but Ace Austin in thar jacket is giving off big Wilson's Leather vibes. Like the store wished to be a real boy for a year - not a good or bad thing, just a tactile thing. Like I know he smells like leather protector with a hint of Panda Express #AEWDynamite

It is gorgeous, utterly unknowable and yet deeply human. Within about 2 minutes you'll say to yourself "Is this based on a Russian novel?" And 10 minutes in you'll say "Ah! It's Kafka...makes sense" and then you'll be entranced by Romy Schneider and when Orson Welles finally appears it all coalesces

I'm beginning to believe that every time a podcasting microphone is purchased and plugged in, the ghost of the Victorian orphan haunting it activates and unleashes another unnecessary influencer on the rest of us

Can't believe Millennials have been asking "why do we have to have five years of experience for entry level jobs?" for 25 years and now it's the Department of Justice saying "we'll hire you immediately because no one with a fully formed frontal lobe wants to work for an authoritarian!"

Happy International Women's Month! (pt. 3) - if you want to fail upwards this big as a woman you have to marry a techbro who met on his yacht - we can't even fail upwards this much. Time to break the Mergers/Acquistions (losing side) ceiling ladies!

All that extra room for his brain and he doesn't even bother using it

hey remember when Sean Penn kidnapped Madonna, held her captive, bound and gagged her, and beat the shit out her?

Boo whoever made the choice to bring Ronda Rousey to AEW. I think that choice will age incredibly poorly. And if you bring her back for a tag match? Damn, I'd hate to have to start making other plans on wrestling nights - TERFs don't get a "forgive and forget" card #AEWRevolution #Revolted

Happy Women's History Month!! (Pt. 2) - of the many women on social media who have received death threats, I don't remember the government intervening on their behalf to protect them...weird!!

I just watched this entire video and honestly it’s the closest I’ll ever get to a transcendental state youtube.com/watch?v=480n...

Happy Women's History Month! We've only had the right to vote in the U.S. for 106 years & men are so scared they stole a lil' copy machine to try and render us irrelevant. Honestly, good job to ALL women, except Terfs - you're doing the work these cowards outsource
