imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

This is terrible for movies, news, independent creativity and thought... literally every piece of it.

I'm going to crawl into a fetal position and wish we were living in the Gremlins 2 timeline.

White music enthusiasts who say Robert Johnson made a deal with the Devil to get good at guitar are racists tbh

It's functionally the same as saying "aliens must have built the pyramids, because dark-skinned people could never achieve something like that"

Movies Aren't Too Long, They Just Don't Know When To End A version of this post published on September 3, 2021 on Uproxx, but is no longer on the internet. With this one I did, let's say, tidy it up a little bit. In 2021, we were still very much feeling the...

I wrote “Movies Aren’t Too Long, They Just Don’t Know When to End” in 2021, but it was internet erased. I found it and rewrote it a bit because it’s only become worse since then. (See: THE RIP.) Movies have always been long! They just *feel* longer now!

Cover to AMAZING FANTASY 15, drawn by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko

Food for thought: Given the conceptual similarity of these two covers, what are the odds that somewhere in the process Martin Goodman said "gimme a character like Batman," and got a guy based on a "creepy" animal who swings on a thread and fights crime because of the random murder of a loved one?
