hating cats is rooted in misogyny. ironic how dogs are “man’s best friend” but women who love cats are “crazy cat ladies.” Cats teach consent, boundaries, autonomy and love that is earned not entitled.

This is huge. The American Bar Association is an illegal cartel which for some reason has been given the sole authority to determine who can be an attorney and who can be a law school. Its illegal monopoly needs to be nuked.

You have to think of the "mass shooting" as a kind of cancellation "safe horny." It's an implausible MacGuffin to get the plot rolling so the filmmakers can explore the social dynamics of a lib couple in which one of the members is 'cancelled'—a real and probably fairly widespread dynamic among members of the New Yorker class over the past decade. The more damning tell about the whole scenario being fake—and the greater sin against artistic integrity—is that it's the girl who's being 'cancelled,' when everyone with a pulse understands the gender dynamics around this sort of thing. Even within the class of people the movie is intended to depict, it's very rare that a straight man or his male friends would give a shit about this sort of thing beyond seeing it as a sort of curiosity. Especially abt something that could so easily be spun as an issue of "mental health" or "trauma" or whatever. Obviously this film is trying to depict is the fallout caused by a MAN being vaguely right-wing or antivax or otherwise "problematic" circa peak woke, but it can't be honest about that—because in that case, he would DESERVE it—and so has to turn it into some meta exploration of abstract "social dynamics" that makes no fucking sense because it isn't grounded in any reality that any real people live in... Sad!

On behalf of his family, we are sad to share that Gerry Conway has passed away. Gerry was a tremendous icon in comics who shaped pop culture itself. He was a dear friend, partner, and mentor, and our hearts are with his family and the millions he touched through his work.

"I didn't show up at the ceremony to collect any of my first three Oscars. Once I went fishing, another time there was a war on, and on another occasion, I remember, I was suddenly taken drunk." -John Ford

Pierce Brosnan says his James Bond movies were 'never good enough' “The violence was never real, the brute force of the man was never palpable. It was quite tame.” “I have no desire to watch myself as James Bond. 'Cause it's just never good enough. It's a horrible feeling."

is there a greater example of "Mandela effect" in cinema than the way the expensive-restaurant scene in HEAT is near-universally remembered as taking place in a "diner" solely because of the sauce-bottle?

The retired buddy cop movie we didn't know we needed until now.
