All About Eve is a surprising banger. Great characters, snappy dialogue, a terrific ending. Here’s John with the 🧵:
In this edition of Rating Best Pictures, @tylerharper.bsky.social and I watched 1950's All About Eve, a film whose best-known line was a punch line in cartoons I watched on old VHS tapes in the late 80s and early 90s. Once I pointed it out, Tyler was sure that's how he was also introed to it (1/7)

Cancel culture was really just enforcing normal standards of social behaviour that were obliterated by social media.
Yes, it went too far sometimes. But there's no right to be famous. Moving on from people who seem kinda off is how we used to avoid making celebrities out of creeps and crooks.
