a fun fact that i think a lot of people don't know is that the bechdel test is not a serious analytical framework but is in fact a joke from a comic strip
Susan Sarandon has been dropped by her talent agency UTA after being vocal about the ongoing genocide happening in Palestine at a pro-Palestinian rally.

Netflix's live-action "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series is toning down the sexism.
"We took out the element of how sexist [Sokka] was. I feel like there were a lot of moments in the original show that were iffy," says Kiawentiio (Katara).
“Yeah, totally,” adds Ian Ousley…
Quentin Tarantino has decided ‘THE MOVIE CRITIC’ will no longer be his final film and has dropped the idea.
He is now back to thinking about what his final film could be.

thinking about that thread from the game designer who was like "elden ring sucks because the only way to tell that i'm at low health is by looking at the health bar!" as i play god of war ragnarok and hear my companions shout "hey, you're on fire!" whenever i'm on fire
we gotta do something about this attitude where anything serious and intellectual is for men and anything frothy and stupid is for women. do any other women actually find this empowering??
it's wild how Daisy Ridley showed up with a powerhouse performance in THE FORCE AWAKENS, a sensitive and nuanced turn in THE LAST JEDI and then gave a great performance THE RISE OF SKYWALKER despite it being shit, and Hollywood has not given her one great thing to do since
i will never forget the commercial for this that featured hotel guests cheerfully pointing at chewbacca to rat him out to stormtroopers, who promptly arrest him
really funny that the writers and actors guilds are on strike because, among other things, studios just really really really do not want to put on paper how many people actually watch streaming shows lol
tj miller is the subject of the actual most horrific sexual assault allegations of any metoo'd celebrity and it's bizarre to write this article as if it's possible for literally anyone ever to treat him unfairly
sorry for multiple fantastic beasts tweets today but i just remembered that the katherine waterston character who was written out of the new movie after she spoke out about rowling is also the franchise's only jewish character lmfao
they never get talked about in these terms but i think it's time to consider whether the recent disney live-action remakes are the worst movies of all time
how come the ppl who crow "animated movies aren't just for kids!!!" are never talking about like persepolis or bakshi movies and instead are making the point that it's good when 38 year olds watch nothing but disney channel shows
every time i watch it i forget the part in blair witch project where the blair witch leaves mysterious blue slime on one of their backpacks. why did she do that
bit i loved in dune 2 is when paul consults with a vision of jamis for guidance and vision-jamis is just like "yeah man you need to become hitler immediately"
to me the funniest thing about the fantastic beasts movies being such disasters is that the window is closing on the break-the-glass emergency cursed child movie and daniel radcliffe has been very clear that he is not interested
took my 13yo sister to moma over the summer and there was an installation that was just a room with a bunch of huge plain metal boxes and she said "i guess it was supposed to make you feel small" her understanding of art is literally lightyears ahead of "the curtain was blue" ppl
one thing the batman really understands is that nothing is hotter than riding on a motorcycle next to a hot girl who is riding on a different motorcycle. so few movies take advantage of this fact
it's really funny that the barbie oppenheimer memes were a rising tide that's causing both films to way overperform. that basically never happens. usually it's snakes on a plane
finished season 7 of seinfeld today and i am here with my 20+ years later reaction that the thing that happens to george's fiancee is one of the most awesomely mean things i've ever seen in anything
tnt is promoting a true crime documentary about "the darker side of girls gone wild" lmfao man i think it's probably pretty easy to riddle out the hidden darkness of that whole enterprise
it's really funny how doctor who is mostly a quirky kid's show about a wacky hero but like twice a season there's a scene where he'll be like "i'm the doctor. i have 9 billion confirmed kills. i have wiped out galaxies. no one has done more murder than me."
this guy is the king of jokes that kind of look like bigotry but then you put your glasses on and it’s like no that’s basically inoffensive it’s just off-color
NEW: Bud Light appears to be in desperation mode, partners with right-leaning comedian Shane Gillis.
Remarkable.
Gillis, who is a polar opposite from Dylan Mulvaney, is popular for his gay jokes and pro-conservative takes.
“Gay Vikings. Dude, you're just some villager looking…
guy next to me on the bus is just on his phone ai-generating pictures of guys playing baseball with baguettes instead of bats. just the same prompt over and over
I’m sorry man but this is an insanely ironic thing to have up on screen at the Oscars when Hollywood has bent over backwards to silence voices supporting Palestine as bombs are currently falling on Gaza
i saw a film critic who posts exclusively to a wordpress blog proudly mention having signed this so that’s the level of “creatives and professionals” you’re looking at here
why did full-body tremors become the main fake vaccine symptom. i guess because they think it's easy to fake on camera? but they are all so bad at it lol
David Robert Mitchell’s new movie ‘FLOWERVALE STREET’, starring Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway, releases on May 16, 2025 in theaters.
The film will be in IMAX and potentially include dinosaurs.
What is the most boomer complaint you have? Mine is I think people take their dogs too many places for my taste and also I think everyone should be more punctual.
you gotta admit that becoming a fake catholic as part of a podcast brand refresh and then saying that the pope is full of shit bc he’s not as traditionalist as you is one of the all time great bits
remember that the line they're feeding western news outlets is "don't trust the numbers gaza is giving you" but to their own people they're gleefully gloating about the extent of their slaughter
I wrote about the radical subjectivity of OPPENHEIMER, the expectations often placed on movies (vs. books) about history, and the integrity of Christopher Nolan’s refusal to depict the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
antisemitism on “the left” is insanely rampant but it’s so commonly used as a smear that jews are put in this awesome position where we have to constantly say both “it’s not antisemitic to criticize israel” and also “don’t say ‘fuck anne frank’ please”
As Biden proudly declares himself a zionist, he trashes the United States as not a safe place for jews: "You need not be a Jew to be a Zionist. I'm a Zionist. Where there's no Israel, there's not a Jew in the world to be safe."
John Wick 4 coming out means i get to once again relay one of my favorite bits of movie trivia: the first John Wick movie had no distributor as late as 2 months before release and came very close to going direct-to-DVD. imagine how different american pop culture would be now
i'm enjoying it quite a bit more than 2018 but man this has the worst case of AAA baby handhold voice i've ever experienced. 0.1 seconds after looking at a puzzle i hear "perhaps you should hit the red barrel with your axe" like goddamn give me a chance to figure it out on my own
in monkey man dev patel lives the dream of many of you: waking up in a temple being tended to by transgender warrior-priestesses who train him to assassinate the chief of police
this is the weirdest rebrand. hbo is an extremely well-known brand that's associated with some of the best tv shows ever. was there market research like "yeah we're worried people think our streaming service might have too much good stuff on it"
