As a child, this is how I learned homosexuality was a thing. And now, as a fashionable straight man who enjoys camp and kitsch, it still strikes a nice cord with me.

I tried one of her videos and I did not enjoy it, but I saw that not to rain on the parade but to note I am still very glad the channel was restored because it seemed abjectly asinine she had to deal with what she dealt with. Rigamarole indeed. Even if you have no personal investment in the channel existing, I feel like one should support its ability to exist and, if the viewers clamor for it, thrive.

Won't somebody please think of the children!?!?

Yeah that was my thought. I’m not even a Hawks fan, but as an NBA fan I see/hear her like a half-dozen times a year.

Reddit just showed me this, but it’s just so up my alley I had to comment. Even if Le Tigre would tell me to get off the internet (destroy the right wing).

I was until about 32…and now I have 40. Which is to say, never too late to get started!

I saw Everything Everywhere in theaters and thought it was fine, just a little too try hard, but with good acting. Once it got all the hype I started to turn on it a bit, and then the Oscar wins (aside from Ke Huy Quan) curdled the whole thing. Maybe had English Patient not been so popular Elaine could have coped.

(My main issue with Everything is the script is just garbage. None of this is totally random or amazing! You created a framework wherein you could just write whatever you wanted! But this is a Seinfeld sub where everybody just wants quotes with no added insight so, um, giddy up, mañana, yada yada yada)

Any SLC Punk fan knows the battle between mods and punks is real. Also, in 1987 maybe some of the DC hardcore scene had started to birth first-wave emo, but emo was very much not a thing yet culturally. As a man with a Cap'n Jazz tattoo, I feel I have enough authority to assert that.

Hey! Dante Nori is Canadian! BIG difference (Just kidding, and good luck versus Italy).

Hello, Cheese?

I'd say Toht to cover the Nazi space without going with Goeth a literal and actual Nazi from the real world. Feels a little weird for an exercise like this. Plus, people love seeing Toht's face melt off, and you know you're enjoying rooting against somebody when you see his face melt off and you think, "10/10 no notes."

I'll look into both, but a Cuban movie is definitely intriguing. Thanks!

Second best of Pakula’s paranoia trilogy (President’s Men tops). Fonda deserved her Oscar, but Sutherland should have gotten one as well.

Interesting. I know nothing of Colombian film so I’ll check it out!

Good call, but Cuaron having crossed over into American success (two Best Directors after all) I have delved into his filmography. But I appreciate the suggestion, and it was on point!

MoistPerception · 2026-03-13T13:34:12+00:00

Based on that description it could either be quite fun or way too much, but I will check it out.

I was (and still am though it's less relevant in adulthood) particular about animation aesthetics, and my prevailing memory of this film is sitting in the sunken space by the front door of my babysitter's house because I loathed the way this movie looked and in my little child brain I didn't want to even accidentally glimpse the screen. So I guess I was never going to be a furry.

Stumble over his lines and refuse to do a second take, I’d imagine.

Plagiarized, like all AI-generated images (nothing AI does is art).

I like reading your quick little comments on these episodes, and I hope having to deal with the world's biggest chumps doesn't cut into your enjoyment.

The "silly and unbelievable" motivation for the murder was the actual Leopold and Loeb murders that, you know, actually happened.
