CLUB KID isn't conservative, it just has a certain crowd-pleasing, disney-movie logic that clashes a bit with the (commendable!) realism of how the movie aims to honor "the scene." I had a good time but it's not a perfect synthesis and that's fine!!

Based off of the title announcement for TES6 featuring Elden Ring-esque rune coloration I now fully believe this leak where Todd Howard cried in his office for an hour is real

people who are too young to remember a world before letterboxd really don't understand. it's been the most significant positive force for cinephilia of the century. for all its faults, it has completely changed film culture for the better

Whatever the reality is of what happened this whole thing is incredibly stupid. Why are thousand of people on the internet spending time defending someone who can afford a $15,000 toy bird from a toy shop? Go and look out for someone with real problems.
Cool, cool. Sure, it wasn’t for sale. That’s the narrative Art of Play is gonna go with 👍 so the whole conversation we had when I asked you if it was for sale whilst pointing to the price tag hanging on the wall with the title Singing Bird didn’t happen as you elevator eyed me saying in a condescending tone “yes, it’s for sale but it costs 15,000 dollars so if you’d like me to find something comparable for you I can.” That all never happened and now it’s not for sale. Okay, cool. So you’re not only rude, you’re also a liar. Got it ✅
And by the way, I obviously support small businesses because I was literally at a small business trying to purchase things. I love small businesses and know they are important and I always support them, but you don’t get a free pass to treat people less than in your store just because you are a small business. It’s not that hard to be kind. I never blast people but you my friend were an exception.
Your store is really cool.
Unfortunately, you aren’t.

I think one of the ways studying disability justice has expanded my own decency is just not making nearly as many assumptions about why someone is or is not doing something

At this point it’s more revisionist to suggest that sometimes people can be cruel simply because they have the opportunity.

I think looking at a room of bougie movie people applauding two Israelis after a film about Gaza made people feel bad and a bit resentful, and they’ve interpreted that as righteous dislike of the filmmakers themselves rather than the mechanisms that brought that situation about.

The Russos are like the Tony Blair of moviemaking. Some of the things they say are fine in isolation or would be coming from someone else but since 90% of their sentences are patently cynical pitches to the money people, absolutely everything ends up sounding disingenuous.
Joe Russo explains why they filmed ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’ with an unfinished script.
“We’re improvisation-based, rehearsal-based directors. We like to see what the actors bring to the characters & sometimes you don’t get the actors until a few days or few weeks before you shoot them. And a lot of the time, that’s when the magic happens.”

in as far as it might be offensive or represents harmful stereotypes, it's actually mainly just that bisexuals are slutty and evil? but ill give them the pass on that because it's fair comment and reflects lived experience and is low-key aspirational

Saoirse Ronan is in a similar position and she’s not in the MCU. Sadly I think there’s just not enough interesting projects and roles for women their age to go around.

the problem is the old school british football press are absolutely idiotic when it comes to the tactical side of the game, so they default to asking if the team that came through that game in Mexico have a mentality issue ?????
thank god for the newer generation of pundits
