There's been no era of criticism that's been kinder and gentler to movies than this current one. Stans' heads would explode if they read reviews from the 1970s. Heck, maybe anything pre-2010 too.

people are understandably reluctant to outright say “Michael Jackson’s music will live longer and means more than those kids’ pain” but that’s the subtext of every conversation about him and it would probably save everyone a lot of agita to just get it out in the open

@PetreRaleigh Barely anyone watches linear tv anymore, but even if you wanted to, the basic cable schedule is almost constantly filled with MCU/harry potter/etc. franchise marathons rather than what we'd remember as the genre of the Basic Cable Movie

@PetreRaleigh Trend across culture in general, you see this with music as well. There's unprecedented frictionless access to almost anything you'd ever want, but the vast majority of people don't actually take advantage of that and get no "forced" exposure to things that challenge them

Always reluctant to do a generational weigh-in but my view tends to be 1) there are more young people with serious movie knowledge now than there have ever been 2) young people who don't specifically care about movies know fewer of them than they ever have
John Attridge@John_Attridge

Film literacy among young people is at an all time low. My gen z students are shockingly unfamiliar with many key landmarks of modern cinema that were released in the 1990s

My partner saw Mount Eerie the night that Michael Jackson died and Phil Elverum said “I guess you’ve all heard the news… probably for the best”

I should say specifically this is how it operates for men, for women it tends to be a kind of outsized and unfounded anxiety, but both are different sides of the same narcissistic coin

@nikicaga This is plainly false. Municipal elections/state leg districts in big cities have been overwhelmingly the places that socialists have been successful in the last decade. Most (wisely) are not contesting for the mayor's office/congress, that doesn't mean they're not winning

Like sorry, somewhere between .16 and .48 is a pretty big margin of error! Seems obvious to me that if it's that close it should work like baserunning and defer to the original call on the play

lot of people responding to what is a very reasonable complaint by going "oh yeah you think that's better than umpires missing a call by 3 inches???" nobody was talking about that, the point is if it's within something like .25 of an inch ABS isn't any more correct than the ump
Connor Williams⚾🏴‍☠️@Wins_Williams

Again, theres no way this isn't within the margin of error for the tech. I hate everything about it. This has been a relatively uncontroversial 'whatever ump says it is' for 145 years. Congrats to all the gamblers that got what they wanted.

@TheDailyKoko Even then I thought it was so insane that shiv would be working for him. She wouldn't be useful to that kind of campaign! Voters would hate that!

Rewatching Succession idly. The political stuff has aged sooo badly—who the fuck is this half-Bernie-Sanders weirdo who sells out to in-universe Rupert Murdoch in exchange for in-universe Fox News to be nice to him…? (Dem primary voters would love that…)

it's great to see a movie from 2008 like speed racer and see a time when they still shot things practically and didn't rely on CGI for everything

The Wachowskis made a movie about knowing the truth about yourself from childhood and being supported completely by your family in seeking to actualize that reality and in that actualization displacing capital from dominance over the world.
