I may be an optimist but I believe the tenor of online debate could be vastly improved if more people were capable of distinguishing “this is what I believe reality to be” from “I heartily endorse this”

I often think about that time the Golden Globes didn’t quite grasp the concept of “fun”.
A “fun fact” from the Golden Globes in 2014, stating “Michael J Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 1991”.

I'm still disproportionately miffed that the cowards at Letterboxd got rid of this screamingly demented alternate cover for Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.
A tonally inappropriate Letterboxd alternate cover for the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me that depicts a peppy, upbeat blue sky with clouds with Sheryl Lee smiling as Laura Palmer. It also has upbeat stylized typeface suggestive of a 1990s romcom.

Letterboxd got rid of this alternate cover, and that's ridiculous.

Tagline: "She's going nowhere fast... and you're not coming."

Once again we see that Burnham has the spine of a flatworm. He's another Johnson; overwhelming desire to gain power, no real idea what to do with it.

Condemnation is pure hot air if in the next breath you’re telling everyone you’re doing your best to give the fascists what they want, just without the masks
In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

Just as an exercise at work I'm helping some students re-edit a scene from Browning's Dracula (1931) with a more modern pace & sound. But what's striking is how different the visual grammar is - we keep looking for a medium shot to cut to, or a reaction shot and it was simply not a set up they did
