if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”
I had a realization yesterday that The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a great allegory for Generative AI. Mickey pawns off work to an autonomous force only to have that force mindlessly use keep doing that very thing and destroy everything while using up plenty of perfectly good water in the process
One of the funniest lines in any Spider-Man movie is from Spider-Man 3 from one of the extras. Daily Bugle Front Page - SPIDER-MAN ROBS BANK “I have a 9 year old daughter who loves Spider-Man! Who’s she supposed to look up to now?”
If you don’t think Donald Trump will be rehabilitated 20 years from now, just look at how liberals are embracing George Bush 20 years after his presidency. Bush was every bit as bad as Trump. The difference is he was better at hiding it.
One of my favorite parts in Spider-Man 2. Harry Osbourne: “I’m ruined! 😡 I have nothing left 😞, except Spider-Man! 😡” Assistant: “He saved your life! 🤨” Harry Osbourne: “He humiliated me by touching me! 😎💅” James Franco is such a diva in these movies. 😭
Regardless of my mixed feelings, it was astonishing to see my local cinema the busiest I have ever seen it for the opening day of Brand New Day. Even at a 10pm-ish screening that ended after midnight. Cinema is back, baby.
...didn't this movie make a billion and a half dollars?

Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling & Greta Gerwig are all in talks to return but David Zaslav is currently refusing to pay what they're demanding, calling it “too generous.” (Source: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/b...)
With the release of SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY it's the perfect time, Sony, to please release MORBIUS back in theaters. It's Morbin' time!
It really sucks that no matter what political group I talk to, I’m ignored and invalidated.
The same Democrats who told me Donald Trump will most likely die soon are the exact same Democrats who told me Joe Biden was “as sharp as a tack”. And then Joe Biden sleepwalked ther entire debate with Trump and gave Trump another term.
Donald Trump is gonna run again in 2028. And he’s absolutely gonna win again. America is an Idiocracy.

I love that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man/Peter Parker is a huge Star Wars nerd like me. Makes him more relatable.
So, social media gave a voice to those who have no business running their mouths.

When you talk about the Trojan Horse people are like "they couldn't have been that stupid" as if the United States of America didn't elect Trump twice

I don’t get why fans of the sequel trilogy have to get so mad every time Mark Hamill says he wishes he had one final scene with Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. I get disagreeing creatively. But this is a man talking about people he knew for decades. And one of them is sadly no longer here with us.
I know y'all think this "Ebeneezer" movie is a stupid idea because A Christmas Carol already showed his backstory, but this one goes back even further - it depicts Ebeneezer Scrooge as a zygote and the Muppets as raw un-knitted felt.
One of the strongest parts of the structuring of Return of the Jedi's third act is the complete absence of cause and effect between Luke's confrontation with his father and the Emperor vs. the Death Star battle. Luke enters the throne room all but certain the three of them could die.
...wait, what? 1.) "The backstory of Scrooge" is ALREADY THE PLOT OF 'A CHRISTMAS CAROL' 2.) He is *still* Ebenezer and was ALWAYS Scrooge! It's just just his FIRST AND LAST F---ING NAMES!!!

What you are talking about is effectively a boycott. Boycotts sometimes work on companies. They do not work on elections. Boycotting votes for the less-bad candidate only helps the more-bad candidate win. You are viewing elections through a consumerist lens, and you do so at your own peril.
