I rarely use this thing to actually say anything of value. Trans, queer, she/her For some reason this bio upsets bigots, so I'm keeping it the same.

@volkmardeadguy @NotUncleRunk they were basically continuously making scooby do from 1969-85 and started nostalgia banging in 1988

I typically hate nostalgia bait nonsense but I genuinely believe there should always be a Scooby Doo Adaptation in the works. Every generation needs some Scooby Doo

First look at the live-action ‘SCOOBY DOO’ series. Coming soon to Netflix.

@slasherhomo Never watching Austin Powers again, can't believe he got away with that
English
if the fans find this plz know i'm referring to michael MYERS i'm not making smth up abt mj DONT JUMP ME PLZZZZZ 😭😭😭😭
English
so the michael movie doesn't even acknowledge the fact that he killed his 17 year old sister when he was 6?????? or when he broke out of a sanitarium 15 years later to go on a killing spree????

@ctoon009 @dailysimpsons I like the implication that the crew were prepared for having to cut the broadcast when Kent loses his sanity on live TV

The puppy one was based on a real bumper apparently 😆

@TinyGemini34 @archaicf0ssil The writers would have considered a lot of things, you can't really judge a show for what they could have done rather than what they did
As is its explained by the prophets that the second vision he has was the pah waiths trying to corrupt the first vision in order to confuse him
English
@EmsTheKat @archaicf0ssil I guess it’s more on that episode for retroactively ruining this episode’s original intent but the fact that the writers ever considered it is utterly egregious even if this show was standalone and not part of a wider universe.
English
Now watching for the first time what everyone calls the greatest episode of television ever made
English
@TinyGemini34 @archaicf0ssil I don't see how. Its just a vision given to Sisko by the prophets, it doesn't really impact the show as a whole.
English
@archaicf0ssil It’s simultaneously one of the best TV episodes and worst DS9 episodes. It’s written amazingly but effectively shits on the entity of Trek at the same time.
English
@nope78547666 @DavisMattek People read it for the same reason they read Battlefield Earth

@DavisMattek People who call extremely successful books “poorly written” always crack me up.

Atlas Shrugged is so bad and poorly written that the Simpsons parody of it didn't even have to change any of the names, plotting, or inherent philosophy to make it funny
Brian Armstrong@brian_armstrong
A few good books worth reading: - Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand - a classic that celebrates builders. Once you read it, you’ll notice the same characters and events taking place today. - The Changing World Order by Ray Dalio - great for understanding how civilizations rise and fall and how crypto can help create better countries. - From Third World to First by Lee Kuan Yu (founder of Singapore) - talks about building a new country, worth reading for understanding nation-building.
English
@blacknredtext He didn't have time travel powers in that episode. His power was being very good at scheduling, which is somehow actually far superior.
English
@fandompulse It would be bad if it weren't for the line "I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic part of my grandmothers diary" intentional or not, that alone makes the episode funny enough to be worth it.
English
Beverly Crusher actress Gates McFadden reveals Patrick Stewart hated what's widely regarded as Star Trek: TNG's worst episode:
“When I saw the ‘Sub Rosa’ script, I was like, ‘You are kidding me.’ Patrick hated it. He was like ‘This is absurd’ and all. And when you read it, there are so many completely absurd things in it. And it’s more like a little a Gothic, I don’t know horror or something, but yeah, now I embrace it because I think it is hilarious. I mean, I just, I’ve learned to love the green-eyed orgasm that Crusher has, you know? I mean, that doesn’t happen every day, a green-eyed orgasm…”
Is it hilarious or is it just plain bad?

@biliouris_amber @JeffGraw @archaicf0ssil The first episode she's in is about her organising an assassination in order to rig an election in her favour. She was evil from the start.
English
@JeffGraw @archaicf0ssil Kai Winn was not evil from the start. She was ambitious and deluded. Then she swung over into being evil when not even the prophets would choose her.
English
Deep Space Nine is the fucked up people do fucked up things show so I like that there's one character that's so unambiguously evil that you're like hell isn't hot enough for him

@BeeLavish1 @basilYam The main ingredient of butter is cream and cream is more expensive than butter
English
I read a book a couple years ago called “make the bread buy the butter” - a woman did EVERY homemade thing she could think of, from pastry to keeping a beehive in order to figure out what was worth the time and effort. She says you should buy the butter
Just buy really hq butter if u need it to be super nice and home made feeling. The butter u make at home is probably not better than store bought, probably not cheaper, definitely not easier.
She says DEFINITELY make ur own vanilla tho. That’s for sure worth it.

English
We’ve legit lost the plot. I honestly have zero idea what people are looking for these days but there needs to be a major shift in criticism. The movie I saw was well written, well directed, beautifully shot, insanely well performed and the sound was amazing. Are we “film” critics or not. We’re supposed to help paint the picture of what an audience can anticipate and this score is not even close to that picture, objectively.

@CamAlexander22 @JulianMigu6257 @AkhilJaxxn Elvis never claimed to write Hound Dog, it's common knowledge that it was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who licenced it out to numerous artists such as Big Mama Thornton.
English
@JulianMigu6257 @AkhilJaxxn Ok so you believe Elvis originally made hound dog & my babe. You also believe Priscilla was an adult when they started seeing each other.. but I don’t know anything ?🤣 alright chief
English
The hypocrisy is hard to ignore, media and critics who were perfectly okay with the family & estate of Elvis for his biopic now have a problem with the same for Michael Jackson. This blatant double standard & the tone behind these reviews show why many see critics as irrelevant

@KlMakaveli @WJoKovac @idoideas @jonesvibesonly You keep saying its real as if being real automatically makes it a good story.
English
@WJoKovac @idoideas @jonesvibesonly The movie portrays his insecurities, his loneliness, the Pepsi accident, and the abuse from his father—all of that was real. The second one would pick up where he’s finally free from his father. The end of part 1 definitely leaves you intrigued, feeling like there is more.
English
@RobUthe @proudhillbillyy @KubrickPoint I get the impression that the vast majority of these conspiracy theorists haven't actually seen the film and just make assumptions of what it's about from what they hear other conspiracy theorists say.
English
@proudhillbillyy @KubrickPoint A major motion picture financed by the "global elites" that is almost a word for word adaptation of a 100 year old novel that already had a feature film made from it...oh my god! IT MUST BE A CONSPIRACY! IF YOU COMPLETELY IGNORE THE ACTUAL PLOT AND THEMES OF THE MOVIE!
English
Kubrick died just four days after delivering what was reportedly the final cut of Eyes Wide Shut to Warner Bros., after a long, secretive shoot. Friends, family, and the cast and crew said his death was completely unexpected, and he never seemed in poor health during production.
English
@FunkyPresident5 @JohnnyCallicutt Cartoon characters need to start saying Baw again. Old comic writers really like their onomatopoeia it feels like it's becoming a lost art.

@evedieule @TheJakeChristie Because presenting a character as having no flaws is awful storytelling. The main appeal of a biopic is to see the man behind the image, if you just want to see Jackson singing and dancing then you might as well just watch one of his many music videos.
English
@TheJakeChristie Why does the family having control over the movie make it bad? Wouldn't they want to put one of their own in the best light possible?
English
whaaaaaaat? a biopic where the subject’s family has full control over the production is bad???? that’s soooo shocking

@BallerToy1327 It's weird that everyone's focusing on the makeup and not how cool it is that they got the actors to reprise their roles 30 years later.
English
@0ct4v1 @DonBattleHawk @BallerToy1327 It's common practice in the star trek universe for spies to be surgically altered.
English
@DonBattleHawk @BallerToy1327 But in one of the TOS episodes, the one with the tribbles, a major plot point is the klingon spy who's trying to pass himself off as being human.
How could he do that if they don't look human?
English
@lesbianhedonic @EricMFriel @RetroMoviesDB That's different to saying it was 1000 years before hebrew slavery. While it's likely that the slavery mentioned in exodus never happened, the film operates on the the premise that it did. But yeah either way the language would be different enough that he shouldn't recognise it
English
@EmsTheKat @EricMFriel @RetroMoviesDB * Israelites did not emerge until 1000-500BC, still many hundreds of years later
* Canaanite slaves did exist, but they spoke proto-Hebrew while the actor is speaking modern Israeli Hebrew-- the two spoken languages have almost zero audible similarities
English
Still has one of the funniest scenes in cinema
Retro Recall (☥𝐃𝐁)@RetroMoviesDB
The Mummy (1999) One the the most rewatchable films ever.
English
@EUtopean @RetroMoviesDB Not really relevant since the mummy character was from the new kingdom, not the old. When he was alive the pyramids were over 1000 years old.
English
@RetroMoviesDB "No, slaves did not build the Egyptian pyramids. Archaeological evidence, including the discovery of workers' villages and tombs near the Giza pyramids, indicates they were built by a skilled, well-fed, and rotating labor force of tens of thousands of paid Egyptian laborers."
