Imagine if instead of the Mandalorians shambolic non marketing campaign what the effect of a teaser trailer of The Hunt for Ben Solo could have been - no one having *any idea* what it even was until they revealed Adam Driver - shit would’ve created a solid year of speculation hype off that alone

On top of everything else it’s so weird how our cops all simultaneously decided little fash mustaches are cool

Fun Harry Potter and JK Rowling Facts For Potterheads! Prince Andrew, photographed with underage girls with Jeffrey Epstein, was invited in 2025 to the set of the new Harry Potter show years after his implication with Epstein.. JK Rowling once described Lolita as a "tragic love story" in an interview. JK Rowling's team directly invited Jeffrey Epstein to the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Epstein was at least seen to be connected enough to Rowling for folks to go to him to be connected with her. Rowling once accidentally replied to a twitter post by a child's mom with hate speech copied into her clipboard. Rowling has used her Harry Potter money to aid in the legal expenses of white supremacists because she agreed with their transphobia as well as successful judicial attacks on children by the UK supreme court.

Old newspaper article showing the main cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Headline: They're In - and fans are furious Quote: "It's ludicrous - the charm and success of the show were based on the perfect mix of the characters"

The lesson here is to never listen to "fans."

Theyre doing the TFA shit all over again. All the hits are here! Just an endless collection of nostalgia pandering red flag phrases in this paragraph. It’s remarkable how efficient it is at putting me off.

Star Wars actor says ‘trans rights are human rights’ when asked about Harry Potter Kelly Marie Tran said ‘trans rights are human rights’ when the topic of JK Rowling's Harry Potter series was mentioned in an interview.

You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

Masters of the Universe Movie? Already seen it, mate. Got the original UK quad poster for it too

"good superheroes don't kill people" is one of the most impressively accidentally revealing statements one can make about one's own personal moral arrogance in the act of mistaking it for an axiomatic truth and halfway to being as much a CIA-endorsed anticommunist psyop as "show don't tell". why not

Unfortunately, this is the part where I remind people that Black 10th graders get beat up by cops every day.

This is the part where I remind people about modern civil asset forfeiture, where US police steal more value from people (mostly Black) than every form of theft other than wage theft.

I don’t know how Malinauskas is managing to make this even worse. This is a horrendous comment - the false equivalence here is horrific

Bsky is awesome for this cos it’s such a nerd popculture c. 2010 bubble. Under every “no cultural impact” post you’ll find the same three idiot post genres: “dances with wolves” “I haven’t seen it and never will!” And “blue cat people”

Sometimes I forget there are Star Wars fans who will go on about how much they disliked TLJ (which I have no problem with) and their first criticism is “the turbolaser bolts had an arc”

"Maduro was bad, but" shut the fuck up, you people will never learn.

So many people are so ideologically captured - mentally - that when presented with naked aggression - that they preemptively libwash aggression by the most nakedly fascist US administration yet. They don’t even need the media to do it for them (which the media has been doing for months!)

"I am Adolf Hitler" from that one episode of Epic Rap Battles of History

Cis """allies""" when a trans person doesn't like a marvel movie

And I do dearly wish more people would flat out make this argument. Because then I could say they are "wrong," have "bad taste" & are "perpetually trapped in 2010" & that would be that.

As with Lucas, a brand of nerd absolutely loathes Avatar because it’s a story from an artist with a singular vision who doesn’t act like he owes some annoying ass fandom a damn thing. Hugely irritating for people raised on over a decade of hacks saying “we made this [piece of shit] For the Fans”

Is there any question that is more annoying to read close to 20 years after they started making these damn movies?

A good thing about getting older is not having to exclusively listen to tedious aging millennials(ie my cohort) talk endlessly about their culturally irrelevant, obscure Nickolodeon cartoon from their teens whenever Avatar comes up

Fucking hell man. At least you came out and said it

I admit I didn’t see that I still think you’re being ridiculously chill and passive about an insane accusation. That sort of accusation is intensely abusive in and of itself and should be interrogated immediately, not treated as if it’s just some mere dispute to be resolved at convenience

Oh how wonderful. “Who can say”ing insanely inflammatory accusations. You’re just like shrugging your shoulders at transphobic slander and haven’t asked him to substantiate it. All you’ve done is continue to accept his ass kissing.

Do you? You haven’t asked him for any have you? All you’ve done is reply to a post of him saying he doesn’t even feel bad about saying it - solely to acknowledge his ass kissing of what an expert you are.

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

You’re talking to someone who is claiming with zero evidence that a trans person is lying about being trans and all you have to say to them is a back pat for them kissing your ass? You don’t wanna know if the person glazing you is a fucking liar?

What a psychotic thing to lie about. You’re a real fucking scumbag.

Fire and Ash was incredible. Impossible to overstate how inane the “it’s the same movie as Way of water” criticism of Fire and Ash is. Totally embarrassing argument for any critic to make

I am once again telling you that democrats support the fascist project

It’s not by itself, no. My four year old loves listening to my old songs. It’s more my frustration at what it represents - these movies are frozen in time to cater to the cultural biases of what are now basically the elderly - with nothing appreciably new or contemporary. It’s so boring
