I make a concerted effort to never be a thirty-something complaining about kids these days, but is it normal for the youths to talk through a film they've paid to watch at the cinema? When the Hulk came onscreen, one boy in his early twenties started grunting and whooping. Are the kids okay?

If you feel like you're not making the most out of your life, know that this person's most time-consuming hobby is leaving callous comments on dozens of my videos. They have dedicated so many hours of their one life on this earth to bullying someone who doesn't know they exist. You're doing fine 🖤

Americans giving instructions: "Okay, so, here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna go ahead and you're gonna take the thing. Once you've got the thing, what I want you to do is you're gonna go ahead and you're gonna put the thing over there." Literally anyone else: "Put that there."

Ti West choosing to cast Johnny Depp in his film is proof that just because you love a director's work doesn't mean he's got the ethics you assume/wish he'd have. People who make art you like can always disappoint you 🤷‍♀️

The Odyssey is fine. It lacks fun, colour, vibrancy, humour, passion, emotion, and anything that could make the audience feel anything whatsoever. It is a needlessly minimalist, stoic, beige affair. Certainly not bad, but also not much of anything 🤷‍♀️
