I do think a good X-Men ‘97 bit would be to Too Many Cooks it and do a whole episode that’s just the theme song continuously introducing new characters; they have enough characters and the theme song is so good nobody would mind
I do love The Protomen’s Act 3, my second favorite of the albums and maybe the best individual songs, but it does feel like, where Act 1 and 2 had a cohesive story to tell, Act 3 is more disjointed, just kind of the characters all shouting their feelings until the end when things finally happen
Losing my mind at The Boys revisionism when I see people online talking about it like this incredible show that fell apart at the end. It was a mid show adapted from a worse comic that slowly dipped in quality the last couple seasons, it is not the same category as Game of Thrones
Guy on a job site was like “well obviously we’d only put the feminine products disposal in the women’s restroom” and I almost was like “well..” Getting too woke for the construction industry (not a high bar, except normally I’d just keep my mouth shut)
It’s kind of crazy that AppleTV has 2 shows with the premise “Seth Rogen is in California with a friend getting into awkward comedic situations”, and somehow they’re both pretty good
Christian Powerscaling Forum, page 989: ->idc if ‘it was a one off fluke’ and ‘it’s clear who’s got better stats’, we have a clear answer in the canon that David wins that fight ->I still think we should circle back on ‘God vs Boulder So Big Even He Couldn’t Li-USER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THIS COMMENT
It’s kind of wild that a lot of what feels refreshing in the new Spider-Man (his secret identity actually mattering, making it harder for him to have relationships and live a normal life, etc) is just like, basic Comic Book 101 stuff, but the MCU is for some reason barely ever interested in that
Actually, Your Honor, I think Tina Turner would have loved our signature seafood-stuffed chicken down at Shrimply the Breast
New favorite genre: Hannah Einbinder is a writer tasked with revitalizing an older woman’s career and it gets very Sapphic
Going to come up with an insane argument that most of what’s wrong with culture today is that white people stopped being obsessed Egypt
*extremely disingenuously* “I can’t believe the new Spider-Man is about him getting Spider-dysphoria and inventing superhero puberty blockers, then sadly deciding to detransition”
I know this wasn’t the original intent, but Blade Runner figuring out decades ago that the best way to figure out if someone is actually AI impersonating a human is “ask them a bunch of questions until something seems off” is an incredible called shot
Spiritually these are the same album/show and I love them both
Several years late to this, but The Bear is a cautionary tale about the dangers of having too many famous people who want to cameo on your show
Smartest Odyssey casting decisions: - Jon Bernthal as “guy who styles himself as a noble leader when actually he’s just a brutal thug” - Tim Holland as “guy who’s technically an adult but nobody sees him that way yet” - Travis Scott as “guy performing when some of his audience is about to die”
“Everybody wants to fuck Penelope.” The Odyssey 🤝 The Invite
It’s funny reading The Odyssey realizing just how much ancient literature is just “here’s how to behave in society” disguised as a story.
Local bar is doing Ted Lasso trivia this week so we started a rewatch, halfway through we realized “oh we also watched The Invite on Friday, we spent the weekend watching Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde process their divorce.”
Actually Gavin Newsom, I think *you* should have to pay me money as compensation for all the spam fundraising emails you keep sending me
Looking back it is wild that 2 years before Breaking Bad, Little Miss Sunshine had: - setting in Albuquerque - Bryan Cranston in a non-comedic role - Dean Norris in a law enforcement role
You ever think about how they had to make Ryan gay-coded in High School Musical because otherwise the incest vibes would be off the charts?
I just want to say to the writers of reality that you’ve been getting pretty on the nose lately, but there’s some hack writing decisions we wouldn’t be mad about, like having It Happen on Independence Day
So were any rich and ‘successful’ people in the past actually competent in the areas they claimed to be competent, or were guys like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Hearst, etc, just the Musks/Trumps/Rogans of their day?
How many times you think Odysseus got lost before his crew started calling him ‘Ol Dizzy Ass’?
Fascinated by this ad for college sports apparel that also appears to be a lesbian coming-of-age movie
The show Drops of God presents it as a twist that a Frenchman has had an affair, indicating that they know very little about the French
Me 5 minutes into Pillion: “Harry Melling would make an amazing Doctor on Doctor Who.”
I love The Locked Tomb series but every book is just the characters all going “what the fuck is happening?” for 90% of the book until one or more deus ex machinas show up to explain things and/or fight each other, and then throw all the characters into a new mysterious situation
I can’t believe no one told me Chris Fleming was in Widow’s Bay, this show continues to be incredible.
