wait, wait, i've solved it. the odyssey thing is that chris nolan is a movie nerd who grew up with star wars and views adapting all these old tales through a joseph campbell lens, while classicists are like "you didn't provide a source for this claim".

messed up that imax is a company. it should belong to the people. it should be like an open source standard.
just now @ravennoises.bsky.social was watching new king of the hill and tried to hide it from me because i'm only up to season 3. now i'm spoiled on the fact that dale is up to shenanigans while hank is like "i'm not sure this is a good idea".
does it matter for spider-man stories that new york isn't actually crime ridden anymore?
people used to say streaming services would end up getting bundled and that's kind of true. i just didn't think the bundle would be getting netflix or disney+ included in utility bills.
this is a really badly written article tbh, in that it seems to be about a study on transmasc people and top surgery while the article writer at no point considered that's not even the primary demo for breast cancer among trans people.
has anyone unpacked christopher nolan casting a trans person to be the distraction sacrifice for a trojan horse to enter, and then destroy, civilization
so many cis people cannot possibly fathom why anyone would change their gender except to get attention or to get away with something and its so infuriating how much it has permeated discourse about us
your commute home after going to work is a retelling of the odyssey
sorry, but if your film involves a character moving from one place to another while experiencing challenges, it is a retelling of the odyssey. i don’t make the rules.
they've fallen for their own propaganda that far right political views are just majority common sense politics, then wondered why they aren't getting the audience for it.
NEW: Under Bari Weiss, CBS News has shifted to the right to try to grab some of Fox News' audience. Not only have they failed to do that, but they've driven off so much of their core audience that CBS Mornings is now perilously close to getting beaten by Fox & Friends. zeteo.com/p/mamdani-de...
need to set up a bot that corrects people online every time someone says kitkats are american
my favourite example of right wingers not getting this was many years ago, seeing a video from... i think tipping point uk?.... parodying some young leftists making talking points that were radically socialist and woke, but they also slipped in like "hillary clinton is such an inspiration".
Joke's on you because "socialist" is actually 200 factions of sworn enemies.
if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”
years of "cancel culture" and yet we continue to have a very visible culture???
jean grey... emma frost... rogue... i'd joke that they're doing x-men as charlie's angels but the guy is already called charles.
Cailee Spaeny is reportedly in talks to play Rogue in Marvel Studios’ X-Men reboot. Marvel is said to be pushing to finalize deals quickly, with the goal of announcing the cast at D23.
i too grumbled at it in the 2010s but at this point the theatrical business has been on a knife edge for so long that i can't be mad about marvel keeping them afloat.
spider-man box office surprising people because the algorithms have broken our sense of reality. no one has any idea what's actually popular now.
there is so much incest in popular media. it clearly scratches an itch for a lot of people. the market has spoken. they love it when other people are incestuous. i have never met a single person who isn't disgusted by the thought of incest with their own family members.
spider-man: brand new day did not answer this pivotal question
did the onion take over the daily bugle in the mcu
we got them to make a spider-man movie where he's an overworked loner without any tech he didn't personally make. absolute generational victory.
do families not watch movies together anymore? there used to be a whole market of films that parents, older kids and younger kids could watch together that's kind of gone now.
rice cookers are the goated kitchen device for this reason. just put a bunch of other stuff in there with the rice, as long as you keep the amount of moisture roughly the same it always works.
somehow @ravennoises.bsky.social's favourite thing i cook is my "chuck a bunch of stuff in the rice cooker" meal.
