My first instinct was Green Day, but I dunno.

In 1984, Don Henley’s “The Boys of Summer” used “Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac” as shorthand for young rebel-turned-adult sellout.
The Ataris’ 2003 cover updated to “Black Flag sticker” for Gen X.
What would the Millennial equivalent band be for a version released today?

Cars were invented, and over the years they were improved a great deal. They got us places. But then someone decided that cars should fly. They can’t fly, but the resources devoted to making them fly meant they stopped working on the road, and got unsafer than they’d ever been.

THAT IS WHAT AI IS.

I know Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have been busy with producing, and about the whole SOLO fiasco, but it honestly shocked me to realize it's been 12 years since they directed a feature.

Ah, I can still hear that “just on the border of your waking mind” Vocoder opening.

I honestly can’t recall how many of the SCARY MOVIE features I’ve actually seen, but my best recollection is that they were always collections of references, as though ticked off from a checklist. That’s what the new trailer reminded me of, when I wasn’t cringing at the “lol wokeness” stuff.

Fash and MAGA types referring to Iranians as Arabs maybe ought to have gone to school or read a book or something because less 2% of Iranians are Arabs. If you’re gonna be an awful c**t, at least be an awful c**t accurately.

My emotions are kind of close to the surface in this time, but I didn't expect that while catching up with SAG Awards acceptance speeches, I'd find myself repeatedly getting misty-eyed.

HOPPERS marks the third time already I've heard Bikini Kill's "Rebel Girl" in a movie this year (twice at Sundance), so it's time for a trend piece.

I'm not sure I could have seen it coming that the author of ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL would effectively become Pixar's house screenwriter.

It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.

As annoyingly ubiquitous as Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You” was, I now cherish every time I heard it as another dollar in the pocket of someone who knew how to do good with it.

Every single person involved in such an endeavor is a fucking monster, no exceptions. Whatever had to happen to your soul to wager on mass death is fodder for TALES FROM THE CRYPT plots.

what if we did 2003 again but with even stupider people in charge of everything

David Lynch saying ‘One day, the sadness will end. But I don’t think today’s the day.’

very unbecoming of a fifa peace prize winner

‘So, going around the table, let’s see what each of us has been doing to promote world peace. Donald?’

Well it was nice having one last night of sleep.

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission.

Full statement from the band:

I'm more of an apologist for at least the first movie in this series than many of my colleagues, but mostly I'm kind of fascinated by how the guy whose work effectively murdered hand-drawn animation made a movie about how sad it is when things are left behind by progress to wither and die.

CARS (2006): Is it. Is life a highway.

There is a non-zero chance that someone currently at HHS has circulated a copy of “A Modest Proposal” with the note “Maybe?”

Thrilled it's happening, and once again wondering where to direct financial support for these efforts.

Cinematography, Score and Original Screenplay feel like the locks for SINNERS; just wondering if it might eke out Casting as well (though ONE BATTLE might be the favorite).

Feels like time for some "Oscars prop bets."

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER: +/- 5.5 total wins?
SINNERS: +/- 3.5 total wins?
