There have always been long movies, but I feel like the pointed complaining about movie length these days prevails because
1) a lot of franchise movies do suck
2) now tv episodes are way too long, because streaming has no limits. Everybody is absorbing a bigger meal with nearly everything they watch

A movie can be as long as it needs to be. If a television show is over an hour an episode it better be fuckin’ Columbo

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.
Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

I mean just to give him some perspective. He could just coast on John Carpenter’s Vampires, Salvador, Scary Movie 2, Northfork, it didn’t have to be this way.

I replied to James Woods several times about his segment from Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye, “Quitter’s Inc.”
Usually when he said his trademark appalling stuff. Just to remind him of his nice work in one segment of a cable tv horror anthology staple.
It’s good that I’m not on that site anymore, I guess

If you have any objections to joining a mass march/protest against this government that fall along those lines I’m going to assume you’re not an adult

Some Trump-humping weirdo posting about Trump:
“President Trump will go down in history as the most fiercely persecuted political figure, relentlessly pursued by vicious political attacks, slanderous media coverage, and shameless witch hunt lawsuits! Yet, through sheer grit and unyielding resolve, President Trump rose above it all and showed the world that he is the MOST consequential and transformative US President and World Leader EVER!!”
They’re starting to speak of him in the past tense

Listen, I have been cycling through the Siskel and Ebert run, sequentially, starting in the late 70s when they were on Chicago PBS, and what am I supposed to do when Allen’s movies are on the show and getting praised? Am I supposed to be mad at them?

Like, it is meaningless to other people, full stop. Do what you want, either way. Besides, there was a time Before the bad thing happened, and if you want to know about the culture at that time, you’ll probably have to watch Manhattan and Annie Hall! Or don’t! It is all voluntary

If you want to honor Diane Keaton by watching Annie Hall, knock yourself out. You don’t have to make sure everyone knows you have Good Person points before you do it. Actually, you don’t even have to post about it? Pressing play on something is not a moral conundrum. You’re not *that* important

At a certain point you gotta stop acting like a movie had no footprint just because you hadn’t thought about it in a while

Dork post
“Watching "Poltergeist" and remembering how state-of-the-art the face peeling mirror scene was back in 1982. 21st century CGI just blows that away now.”

It’s going to really frustrate these people when Trump is done and the culture has still not been controlled the way they’re demanding

Netflix Stock Up As Elon Musk's Anti-Trans Boycott Fails To Materialize
Last week, conservatives tried to cancel Netflix to force the carrier to remove transgender characters.
1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.
Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.
Major conservatives joined in.
Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

It’s extremely funny for them to be floating the idea of putting our very successful president on money, at the same time that the dollar is losing a little more value each day. Great idea, incredible strategy, let’s see how that works out for them
