"Gratitude interrupts cycles of negative rumination by reminding you of the good things in your life, which helps lower depressive symptoms as well as reduce stress and negative emotions, such as anxiety," writes TPN member Arthur Brooks. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Nostalgia for past eras of entertainment has blinded so many of us into thinking the entertainment industry hasn’t mostly been mediocre on any given year. The great stuff we tend to remember more than the constant mediocrity of past decades.

Someone in a fan club practically just spoiled Zootopia 2 even though a majority of us haven’t seen the movie yet. Why do people do this?

The Stranger Things Season 4 recap didn't show him, but seeing it did make me remember that I am really not gonna miss Jason. If you've seen the last season, you probably know why.

I know James Corden was divisive in The Prom but I didn’t mind him. Sure, his character was stereotypical but from what I’ve heard, the character was more flamboyant in the original stage show. He performed the songs well, did a decent American accent and had some dramatic moments that he sold well.

I understand Judy and Nick shippers even if I like them as friends. I will never understand Elsa and Hans shippers.

#Zootopia2 continues the creative world-building and fun animal jokes of the first film, along with a worthwhile message about not hating someone just because they're different. Also appreciated that Nick and Judy's relationship remains platonic.

We'll always have Paris, Charlie Brown.

Charlie Brown, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.

With Thanksgiving coming up, check out @kylenorty.bsky.social’s video from a few years ago about Friends’ Thanksgiving episodes. youtu.be/_v1EHtcIzRM?...

This is my absolute favorite because of its relatable message and the titular song slaps.

Happy birthday, Miley Cyrus! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k6S...

'Sleeping Beauty' flopped in 1959, leading to cutbacks of the animation department in favor of theme parks, to make animation production faster/cheaper. Much of the women were the Ink & Department, yes, but getting rid of women were not why the cuts were made. Please stop spreading misinfo, thanks.

Lilo.

This film has sparked some of the most annoying discourse I’ve ever seen.

We finally have the answer to who made that footprint!

#WickedForGood is a beautiful conclusion to the story. I do prefer Part 1, but it’s still good on its own and retains what made the first so great. Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande are as phenomenal as ever, it’s emotionally strong and the songs are great. Jeff Goldblum steals the film too!

Against my better judgment, I watched a certain comedian's recent video on Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"...only to get annoyed at him frequently calling it a remake and not judging it as an adaptation of the book or on its own merits.

Today’s my birthday!!

I cried at this film and I’m not ashamed to admit that. boxd.it/bM30XN

Ideas to become a better person

There are four types of guys online. No exceptions.

If he couldn't tell the difference between "MCU CGI slop" and this then the whole concept of "MCU CGI slop" is in his head.

If he had to watch the behind the scenes of the movie in order to appreciate it and not see it as "MCU CGI slop," then I would argue the problem is his mindset more so than how any movie was made. That's my hot take.

Stop Referring to CGI as "Slop" 2025 Challenge.

The line is "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." It's not "Toto, I don't think we’re in Kansas anymore."

#WickedForGood successfully concludes the story of Elphaba and Glinda with even more pointed commentary about propaganda, ostracization and the danger of listening to those with devious purposes. Loved the connections to "The Wizard of Oz", too, making this an entertaining spin on that world.

If the rest of James Gunn's new DC Universe can continue to attain this level of quality, I think we're in for something special. letterboxd.com/mrcoat/film/...

Happy 35th anniversary to arguably the greatest family comedy ever made, my favorite Christmas film and one of my all time favorite films, Home Alone! 😊

Watched "Glass Onion" again and this is probably one of my favourite lines of dialogue in any recent movie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsG2...

And yet some people view it as “simple.”

It is interesting to consider that some of the most beloved cinematic classics were either a modest success back in their day or underperformed at the box office. Thanks to home media and even television broadcasts, they became re-evaluated and garnered the classic status that they have today.

What's a movie you never tire of?

Absolutely loved #Zootopia 2. Double the buddy cop fun, double the story, double the humor, with an edge of darkness. They managed to pack a lot more into the movie compared to the first one. 👏 And eh… stay for the post credits 👀. Also. Full soundtrack album + Score drops on Friday, November 21.

Ditto. It especially is true for the hypocrites out there.

At the end of the day, Generative A.I. is nothing more than a plagiarism machine. It will never birth the next Dr. Seuss, Jim Henson, David Lynch or any other artist known for their unique and creative imagination and storytelling.

The first sentence is why I hate them so much. They have this way of seeping into your brain and when you call it out to them, they double down on it.

Bingeing TikTok reels may be hazardous to your well-being. 71 studies, >98k people: The more short-form videos teens and adults watched, the more they struggled with attention, self-control, and stress and anxiety. Read a book. Watch a movie. Long live longform.

There's also a possibility that had this been made, the SW fanbase would have disliked it. While Soderbergh has directed a few crowd-pleasers like "Ocean's Eleven", a lot of his movies are experimental. He's not really known for playing it safe and I feel he would probably ignore fan theories.

I mean, guys, there's enthusiasm, then there is overkill, and then there is this. To quote Elsa: LET. IT. GO!
