"Hey, Freddie Mercury, wanna make some songs for our cheesy movie about immortal warriors?"

"I will make my greatest song for this movie."

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Since I consider both In The Mood For Love and Fury Road a TIE and this and Zodiac a TIE, Pan's Labyrinth is the second best film of the 21st century. 🫡

To me there's nothing funnier than white people trying to say smelling bad isn't a hygiene issue. Especially when they spent years saying non-white people smelled bad because they lacked hygiene.

Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis @kendrawrites.com · 19h

I'm going to start calling essays like this "odes to whiteness" because the underlying premise is that they are like this because they don't anticipate any social cost to smelling bad.

This one is v. frustrating because it tries to lump in perfumes with the broader (problematic) beauty industry

I’m turning 50 next year. I rarely wear deodorant anymore. Many women I know have stopped, too. We don’t talk about it, but I catch it in the air — a faint musk of onion, goat, curry, mustard, salt, sage, fennel, ozone, and the muddy wet marrow of the earth itself. I’m kind of obsessed with this collective stink: the animal symphony of skin, of women being women, punk and unfiltered, taking up space with their scent. Raw, unapologetic BO. The more I live among it, the more I see it not as a hygiene failure but as a radical act of self-acceptance. It’s not polite, but it’s honest — and that feels hot. Hotter, even, than anything a Guess ad ever promised.

So, THE RUNNING MAN moved back a week to not compete with PREDATOR: BADLANDS - rad. Woulda been happy to go see both on the same weekend, but I'd much rather they both have room to run.

There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

They continue to eviscerate the public health machinery that has quietly kept Americans, and others around the world, safe and healthy for decades.

The staff of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the journal that reports on health trends and emerging infectious threats, was also laid off. The publication’s storied history includes a June 1981 report that five previously healthy gay men were treated for an unusual pneumonia — the first hint of the AIDS epidemic.

Roughly 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers — the so-called “disease detectives” who respond to outbreaks around the globe — received layoff notices, according to a person familiar with them. The service was spared during an earlier round of layoffs in February.

What if the connection between reactionary MAGA politics and the sexual abuse of children is deeper than we want to admit?

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

"Nobody will do that though." Oh I guess there's nothing to be done, then. Very convenient if what you'd like is to avoid having to do anything.

I've noticed "we're cooked, it's over" is often the call of the person whose strategy is to hope they will not be in the oven.

If you told me that Flanagan reverse-engineered the entire series around writing Greenwood that role, I’d find that way more believable than that he was a last second replacement.

Rewatching FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER and... I really just can't see Frank Langella in this role. Bruce Greenwood is at his all time best in this.

"This motherfucker made the PlayStation 5 more expensive than it was under Joe Biden" wins a midterm. Add "you might not get to vote next time you're pissed about the price of eggs," and that's a general.

Em @VerbalDiorama: A Film History Podcast @verbaldiorama.bsky.social · 7h

New Nightmare is a fantastic epilogue to the franchise. Smart enough to not resurrect Freddy Krueger after his death, and to instead achieve something wholly original. It's a shame it didn't do better at the time of its release.
