Work as an engineer, but dont make it my whole personality. He/him
I love how film bros constantly defend the importance of the technical categories, but when a film gets a BP nom off of multiple technical noms they get flabbergasted and admit that all they care about is acting and screenplay.

It is possible (though unlikely) that the final line of dialogue of the Avatar franchise is "No shit?"

Watching a movie about a lonely heart who comes out of their shell to form a found family with an unlikely group of strangers. That’s right, Alien (1979) is a Christmas movie

One of my Internet lukewarm hot takes is that having a strong negative reaction to Pluto's classification is incompatible with with being pro science and all the left/right/crunchy that goes with that
the closest analogy to this for most Americans I think is 'how did you feel when it was decided Pluto wasn't a planet any more'

Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

Nobody watches TV, everyone's got ad blockers, nobody shows up for the trailers in theaters anymore, literally the only way to make the public aware of your movie's existence is make your lead actor physically torture themselves with hot wings.

People will be like "I'm just doing it for the plot 😘 ✌️lol" and then have a nervous breakdown when the plot thickens.

The only way to go through life without ever feeling bad about yourself is to surround yourself with shitty people.

If you want to fill your life with decency and kindness you have to sometimes feel bad for not showing decency in turn.
Guilt is a part of life. It's a good thing. It's how we become better people. Feeling guilt means you're not a psychopath.

But some people romanticize living guilt-free so much as some form of bold enlightenment that they can't not see feeling guilt as a wrong someone is doing to them.
so much driving motivation in people in even the slightest position of power, regardless of where they find themselves on the political map, is "i should never have to feel bad, feel regret, feel shame, or otherwise reconsider my decisions" and every choice, policy and personal, falling from there

You gotta give it the hell up for Dan Aykroyd for being the last alien/ghost/cryptozoology guy who isn't also a Qanon freak. It's a dying breed!

It’s so important to not let yourself become bitter or disheartened or cynical. To not let the news of the world break your spirit. Because I’m already doing that. It’s my thing. Find your own, stop copying me.

You stay to the end of the credits to catch a teaser for the sequel.

I stay to the end of the credits to listen to the movie score in surround sound.

We are not the same.

General rule of thumb is that if someone refers to women as "girls" then you can ignore every opinion they have about dating and relationships.

Andrew Jackson's
Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

Don't know what 20-something needs yo hear this, but you re not going to "get in trouble" because thats not something adults have to worry about unless its ur boss or the Law. Of ur putting off going to the dentist because ull "get in trouble" for not flossing, good news thats not a thing.

It breaks my heart to say that the most obvious fictional Trump voter is psychic detective Shawn Spencer.

He's a GenX white manchild who thinks the greatest crime is when people don't like his racist/sexist jokes, he would absolutely celebrate Trump "making comedy legal again."
Bowser voted Kamala and is a pronoun respecter, but Wario definitely voted Trump.
