"trump pulled strings to get rush hour 4 made for no less than three bizarre-yet-evil scam reasons and at least one additional culture war reason" is the kind of weird corruption we'd have been able to enjoy in better times. but instead we're all just tired.

why do you think that one lady who played trombone in the orchestra pit for the Muppet Show never joined Electric Mayhem like Lips did? like, we saw she stood with them on labor disputes with Kermit and was always down to play whatever, but she seemed to keep a personal or professional distance.

I love star trek but in many ways star trek succeeds in spite of being star trek. the aliens are all kind of bad, the conflicts are on-the-nose, the creatures tend to be various gases and oozes to save time/money. but they cast weird theater people who commit to the bit, and that helped a LOT.
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!

people are so desperate to believe that the state of heterosexual monster fucking isn't stuck in a blandly misogynist rut that I've seen like twelve qrts of this citing fuckin' Splash and six citing various "coward's draenei." none of you would still love her if she was a worm and I think that's sad
Has this pairing ever been flipped? Where a man falls in love with a monster?

I love the last evil bullet point in particular "oh you think you're saving money? well our economy isn't going to innovate, that doesn't seem very 'saving money' now does it?"

"turkey doesn't taste good" is the "turn-based combat is boring" of bad holiday opinions. I will not elaborate. you will either go "yeah, good bit" or get incandescently angry at me.

its interesting that arguably the most powerful Japanese youkai in touhou is just some weeb pining for her university exchange program days. Yukari Yakumo is the only one in Gensokyo with opinions on dubs vs subs, and due to time travel had them nearly 800 years before the first dragon con.

having a conversation with my gf about "road trip games" and I don't mean, like, FF15 or Get In The Car Loser or even necessarily games with cars at all I mean like most jrpgs and shmups are road trip games, metroidvanias are virtually the opposite. roguelikes can be but rogue isn't.

Trans misogyny in the colonial archive: Re‐membering trans feminine life and death in New Spain, 1604–1821
Traces of trans feminine pasts are scattered all across the colonial archive. In New Spain, glimpses of Indigenous trans women's lives can be found in the records of conquistadors as early as the six....

I don’t care about the boring sex lives of criminal garbage people so today’s feed is like a fun scavenger hunt for good posts. I’m not knocking it per se,
my enclosure could use the enrichment.

hey, everyone, you can't go "don't look up the bamboo! make sure to mute bamboo! oh don't look its sooooooooo bad! don't eeeeeever look up the bambooooooo!" for an hour and expect me not to look up the bamboo. honestly, I expected way worse but even so fuck all of you on principle.

whats with people saying "MTG is popular with the left"? not with me! I think universes beyond should be out of standard, commander fails to thread the needle between "casual" and "competitive", the FF set should have had a Faris- wait, what? I'm in the middle of- oh I see... that's even less true!

I have a soft spot for Overdrawn at the Memory Bank because, while it is ABYSMAL, Raul Julia starring in a cyberpunk movie where he accidentally gets move from a monkey's brain to the seat of corporate power and tears it all down is too good an idea to not imagine a good version of it.
Which MST3K movie was actually the best *movie*? Which one has the most non-ironic fans and defenders.
Danger: Diabolique comes to mind (though certainly not the best of the Diabolique films). This Island Earth as well, since they had to pick something a bit more palatable for the theatrical film.

"romantasy reader" is a bit like "gamer" in that there is nothing *inherently* wrong with the media itself, but the second someone starts using their consumption of it as an identity it epigenetically activates all of their body's bigot cells at once.
