I mean, it's terrible that we have the 1941 version of "The Maltese Falcon" right? The TWO previous adaptations, made in the 30s were enough already. Stupid film executives had to remake it a THIRD time
English
Because, of course, nothing changes over time to justify such remakes, right? 🤔 Societal norms and attitudes regarding literature never go through reappraisal. Technology doesn't change, certainly. And once an adaptation is made, it is perfect and immutable 🙄

As I often watch 40s-70s films, I don't understand the idea that each generation "deserves" a new adaptation of a classic novel. Netflix just released a teaser for the new "Pride & Prejudice". Aimee Lou Wood was just cast for the new "Jane Eyre". Why? We don't need them.
English
I realize it probably isn't well known enough to win a poll, but I hope @awk_ashleigh or @popcorninbed will give this amazing Western a viewing, in honor of Robert Carradine
"The Long Riders"

I had no idea this existed

Raquel Welch getting funky with a giant spider. The Muppets always knew how to keep the dads happy.

Rufus spitting cold facts:
"The fact that you have to fight the system to buy the things you want to buy is genuinely bad business on Amazon's part."
"No company deserves customer loyalty when they consistently make the shopping experience frustrating."
English
It's interesting that @amazon has an AI that is so brutally honest about what a garbage company they are 😲

"life continued as usual"
*looks around*
Are we sure?!? 🤔

Feb 14th 2016 - Despite Elaine's prediction on Peter Venkman's show "The World of the Psychic", about the world ending after her alleged encounter with an alien at the Paramus Holiday Inn, life continued as usual. 📽️📅 Ghostbusters II (1989)

My favorite is my friend's misunderstanding of CSNY's "Appears to be a long..." lyric as "A beast of beanbag love" 😆
Quite Interesting@qikipedia
A ‘mondegreen’ is a misheard song lyric, such as Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Excuse me while I kiss the sky’ sounding like ‘Excuse me while I kiss this guy’.

@armenastra @awk_ashleigh Fingers crossed for this collaboration to happen 🤞
English
@awk_ashleigh LOOOL. Sliding into your DMs now. Please make it weird.
English
“Ashleigh, why don’t you reach out and collab with more creators”
BECAUSE I MAKE IT FUCKING WEIRD BRO.
English
@armenastra So many of the classics were shorter than films today. It's amazing how tightly some of these were edited

Catherine’s knowledge of humanity was always at the center of her comedy, no matter how absurd the character or loopy the material. She could play heartless because she was warm, brainless because she was brilliant, careless because she truly cared. Everyone loved her and everyone learned from her. This is a deep loss.

@PulpCovers Back when a Lil Abner reference was topical

English
A book from the 50s referenced women "clad in Dogpatch leopard skins"
What does that mean?

@awk_ashleigh You feel free to check in and let us know that the New Year is treating you well 🎉

Should drunk Ashleigh have the phone tonight yesss or not?
English
@awk_ashleigh I understand that completely. The worst part, for me, is when the depression hits in a way that makes you CRAVE that feeling. When it makes me wish I was an utter sociopath rather than keep feeling so intensely bad about everything, that's the worst for me
English
A misconception about depression is that is always gloom and doom - and it can be - but sometimes it’s just not caring. It’s not caring what happens. It’s not caring if you’re kind. It’s not caring about the consequences of actions or inactions. It’s just indifference sometimes. Empty and indifferent.

@popcorninbed0 is not my account. They are trying to pretend to be though... probably to scam someone. If you have a second, reporting them would be very helpful!

@FlemilyEming : I think people think that I'm nice
@mattlieb : I can't imagine they do
@Mythical Beasts, if you love the crew interactions, I hope you're not missing Free With Ads, because it's full of gems like this 😆

@qikipedia Sounds like it might also be a case of nominative determinism

In 1992, the Supreme Court of Mississippi heard the case Brake v. Speed.
Sally Speed rear-ended Wilnetia Brake’s car.

I'll buy it but if he doesn't do the monologue halfway through I want my money back.
