Spider-Man 2 is the perfect movie because it’s a romantic melodrama where people talk about love in cafes but then a man with robot tentacles throws a car through the window at them

The 90s were a crazy time. You could make a movie about people looking at documents for 2 hours and 20 minutes and call it something like “The Pelican Brief” and it would be as big as a superhero movie is today

The dumbest thing about this take is these aren’t remotely equivalent, like they’re not even the same medium. One is a 20-minute reality game show, one is a 10-hour work of narrative fiction This isn’t about the creator economy, it’s the mindset that everything is just content

Saw Top Gun: Maverick again. Sitting next to me was an old man, there with his 30-something son. After one scene where Maverick does something really amazing, the man cheered and pounded the armrest with his fist. When the movie ended the old man and his son hugged Great movie

Probably an unpopular take, but I liked Warner Bros NOT having a plan for DC. The past 4 years of “I dunno who cares if they’re connected, let’s just try shit” has been way more interesting than the intricately-planned Marvel stuff made during that time

Content review systems are broken. Because critics have a problem with Chris Pratt, the "experts" have deemed the new Mario movie a D- even though audiences clearly love it. Both of these groups are obviously biased, but the disparity here reveals a major problem.
