RFK Jr. is neither a joke nor a well-intentioned proponent of public health with a few kooky beliefs. He's a menace, evil even by the standards of Trump's inner circle, and the failure of the political press to convey this is maddening
I actually think it’s okay to take a ridiculous scandal seriously when it involves a wingnut conspiracy theorist in charge of things like vaccine policy and pandemic preparedness

I would force my studio to make a film about a despotic president forcing them to make a film, then can the movie as a tax write-off and fire their sorry asses for taking not-so-subtle jabs at me!

Seeing people talk about Marvel’s latest controversy about how they treat their female characters (Magik in this case) I will just say this from the perspective of a Spider-Man fan. Marvel is misogynistic af.

No spoilers. I saw the new KnIves Out. #WakeUpDeadMan. It’s very good. I’d say it might be better than Glass Onion but it’s not nearly as funny. But it’s still quite funny and very entertaining. Great performances. Especially Glenn Close. Joshua O’Connor and Daniel Craig are a great duo.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Neither Spielberg or Peter Jackson allowed back into the country until the next Tintin movie is in production.
Don't let my pic fool you, I'm not a crazy Tintin single-issue voter (I just identify with how angry he looks in this pic) but goddamn the first was so good and the 3 movie plan was aces.

Random out there thought of the day. #Bioshock would be a far better game if a) ATLAS was real, b) Still antagonist but really did believe what he preached, c) Still manipulated protagonist to do his bidding.

If nostalgia is the only reason people like the prequels, why do so many people who have no nostalgia for them… enjoy them?
Could it be, perhaps, that they’re not “terrible” and actually have something to them that you don’t personally connect with?
But sure, okay, I guess you know better.

My #StarWars rankings. Let me say that I think all 6 films are great and essential watches:
1) REVENGE OF THE SITH
2) A NEW HOPE
3) ATTACK OF THE CLONES
4) THE PHANTOM MENACE
5) RETURN OF THE JEDI
6) THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

here's my thing with this:
it's objectively true, there is vastly more good star trek than star wars
but I still like the star wars universe as a sandbox more than star trek

You ever think about just how handily Star Trek has won the Star Wars/Star Trek war? Turns out making a lot of good content is really hard!

At least the four of them are safe at last.

Heh Boyo, that’s what you should be asking to each other in your family get togethers in hell with your Pop who lobotomized his daughter, with your brother who carried water for Joe McCarthy, your other brother who let a person drown, and with you for letting it happen.

Home Alone makes changes to the Die Hard formula that render it hard for me to enjoy. The McClain character should feel overawed. And in theory having Kevin be a child versus adults achieves that. But the thing is: Kevin is a god. It's not just Tom & Jerry. This is some random punks versus Anansi.
