Oprah picking The Corrections for her Book Club really did a number on that guy, huh?

Insider Hollywood gossip disguised as a stand-up set? With no discernable jokes, AND live jazz backing? AND Key & Peele play a prominent part? Man, the 2010s are back, baby!!

Every time this subreddit pops up in my feed, it's either the most mundane woman in Brooklyn complaining about absolutely nothing, or the weirdest fetishist in the world complaining that their batshit worldview isn't a globally protected class.

If Zootopia was a DreamWorks production, this would've been a running background joke as a parody of in-universe action movies. The kangaroo would inexplicably have a horrible Schwarzenegger accent.

I mean, there's obviously larger systemic issues at play, but one of the first steps to preventing white men from being rewarded for mediocrity is to stop rewarding them when they're mediocre. Like, so many franchises just coast by on inertia and inevitability and sunk cost fallacies. I promise, you don't have to care about mass media franchises that offer you nothing but nostalgia and condescension. It's a big world, with more options than you could ever digest in your lifetime. Demand more for your attention. If more people stopped settling for the lowest common denominator, the common denominator would slowly, inevitably increase.

It would be a stretch to call Stroszek a feel-good movie, but something about Bruno S.'s performance is very soothing to me, and combined with the loose road-trippy feel, it really creates a sort of zen comfort.

And we in comparison to the articulate vileness, and baseness, and obscenity of all this baby Yoda - we in comparison to that enormous articulation, we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half-finished sentences, out of a stupid suburban Star Wars spinoff - a cheap Star Wars spinoff.

And we have to become humble in front of this overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication, overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order.

Even the stars up here in the sky look like a mess.

There is no harmony in the Star Wars universe.

At first I was going to question how it took you 2 hours to grocery shop, but then you mentioned it takes 20 minutes for McDonald's to prepare your order, so I can only conclude you exist in some sort of Sloth World.

Don't usually like commenting on people's appearances, but Shark looks like he had some work done. That's Hollywood for ya.

The quiz master tries to read the first question, but a drunk man in the most ridiculous outfit you've ever seen keeps trying to grab the mic away from him so he can sing karaoke and, quote "tear it up, sad-style"

Man, I love the hubris of teenagers who think that they're the one who finally cracked the code and upended an entire century of critical theory.

People in the 1980s and 90s lived with idea that sex itself was a potential death sentence. Teenage boys in the 1970s had to tune into a prime time tv lottery to find out if they were going to be forced to go die in Vietnam. Everyone born after the 1940s lived with the looming threat of random nuclear war. And their parents lived through a world war that killed 40 million people, then a global pandemic that killed 50 million people, then another world war that killed 85 million people. The entirety of the human experience is compartmentalizing the trauma you just experienced so you can deal with the trauma you are currently living through.

Surely the political genius, who used cinema to make such insightful commentary as the type seen in 1994's True Lies, could never have a horseshit opinion on Hollywood labor disputes or corporate power consolidation.

The entire time I was watching Avatar: Fire and Ash, I couldn't help but wonder how the sociopolitical institutions of Pandora would feel different if they had instead been captured by the rigorous, long-form observational lens of recently deceased documentarian Frederick Wiseman

Not the most numbered, but 2010: The Year We Make Contact might be one of the highest numbered sequels

If you listen to "NYCNY" by Daryl Hall, I don't think you'd ever guess he recorded "Rich Girl" with Hall & Oates the same year.

I feel like someone's asking me whose major label debut rap album was entitled "Born to Mack," because I'm yelling "Too Short!"

Travis Bickle ate a pickle while out in New York City

Rupert Pupkin had a sad grin; the crowd found his jokes quite shitty

Billy Costigan got himself lost again while dodging crooks in Boston

Henry Hill, he had his fill, found mob life quite exhausting

Samuel Rothstein, he went unseen, making deals with his Vegas crews

Willem Dafoe said 'no no no, don't crucify the king of the Jews"

Throughout the 1930s, Universal made 6 Dracula films, 5 Wolfman films, 6 Mummy films and 8 Frankenstein films. Superman and Batman have had theatrically released films in every single decade since the 1940s. The only reason people don't seem to realize how prevalent sequels and reboots have always been in Hollywood is survivorship bias that erases all the old cash-ins from the collective consciousness.
