"Primetime" Review: Sex and the Single Generation
While “Primetime” explores the heyday of “To Catch a Predator,” two new films show Gen Z taking a very different approach to dirty old men.

Can we give the Oscar to Ralph Fiennes for pretending to get high as a kite with a generously endowed zombie and putting on a glorious, Satanic one man show set to Iron Maiden
Leah Carlson@themingtacular.bsky.social · 19h agoI'm sure Pattinson is great in Primetime, and I can't wait to see it this weekend; but can we please stop reserving Oscar buzz/nominations for performances where an actor plays a real person. I am so tired

I am excited for The Love Hypothesis, but the Set It Up hater in the back of my head won't let me get too excited
Alas, I hear Digger's not a secret musical, but we'll always have this youtu.be/sDbFHGcDA5A?...

This is like when I passed a U-Pick berry farm a few weeks ago while driving, and there was a hand-written cardboard sign underneath the official printed one that read, "NO BERRY PICKING WHILE NUDE" A whole story right there that I need to know

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽♀️
If you can learn that there were adorable murderous miniature tiger cats running around this earth undetected and be unmoved by the vastness of everything, you are beyond saving.

Are the Daryl McCormack fans finally gonna EAT again?? (I'm a 1995 P&P diehard and will always be skeptical of any new versions, but I do think McCormack has the potential to be an excellent Mr. Bingley, if you wanted my two cents)
A new season of You Must Remember This starting today is giving me new life
Speaking of, what in the world was going on with Lee Pace's character in Practical Magic 2

Starting to think a hunk of untoasted sourdough and black coffee might be the breakfast of champions?

Love it when I forget about something I really wanted to watch, and then it comes back to me at just the right moment when I am in the exact mood for it (This is a post about Kingdom, which I finally started for the first time tonight and instantly hooked me.)
I picked the movie yesterday for movie night, and everyone loved it 💅🏼 Good omen for today
I do not understand the cult of Practical Magic (a hot take I keep to myself most days), but, unfortunately, I will be sat for the legacy sequel because I simply cannot refuse the power of Lee Pace
Yep, Mother Mary was my shit for sure, count me as a fan
What's an example of perfect casting?
Farran Smith Nehme 🇱🇧@selfstyledsiren.bsky.social · 3w agoWhat's an example of perfect casting?
Ratatouille, fresh baked bread, a cheese plate, and a green salad with peaches from a friend's tree 💋 And a lavender cake with lemon curd filling and cream cheese frosting (blackberry garnish in lieu of rosettes because I ran out of frosting and didn't want to make more)
Leah Carlson@themingtacular.bsky.social · 3w agoHosting a dinner party tomorrow, and I based the menu off what I got in the CSA box this week. I've almost reached peak insufferable about living in a place where the summers are just an embarrassment of riches for local produce

I am serious about this. After the violent, epic tragedy of "The Iliad," people wanted a sequel featuring the clever trickster character and Homer decided, "sure, but let's also make it a love story and make it weirdly poignant."

I'm not an anime person at all, but yesterday I started Neon Genesis Evangelion on the Criterion Channel with my husband (who was an anime person in his youth). A couple of episodes & internet searches later, & I was somehow invested in whether or not the correct dub would be uploaded to the channel
As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I'm trying!! (I post this because I think everyone should have a hobby they enjoy that they are AMATEUR at, not because I think I sound so great. I've been trying to perform periodically at the local open mic this year because I like it and it's not that serious)
