Very funny that the President of movies is draining as much money out of Warner Bros as possible right as they merge into Skydance

For the past 7 years, my previous Midsommar vid's gotten a steady stream of comments complaining the boyfriend Christian "didn't deserve" his fate. Some even laud him a paragon of patience. Let's try to figure out why so many people empathize with this mumbling doof. (Hallucinogens optional)

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a psychic medium is conducting a seance at a table with a small group of people. With his head lowered, the medium says, “we will now attempt to contact the spirit realm.” Panel 2: a wraith-like ghost is sitting on the toilet in a well-lit bathroom, idly scrolling on its phone. The phone is ringing. Panel 3: displayed on the phone screen is an incoming call 
 from “Creepy Psychic Guy”, whose default contact photo is one of those fuckin bitmoji emoji faces - i can’t stand those things. Anyway the ghost declines the call.

“What a beautiful universe, hon" says a telescope as gazes upon an aurora borealis. “It really is”, responds the telescope's partner, who it turns out is not a telescope, but a microscope. Hands full of algae, she wades waist deep in a disgusting swamp, amazed by the heavenly microscopic life all around them.

The Odyssey is bigger and bolder than even the hype can keep up with. A primordial moan of dread which nevertheless earnestly reaches for someone, anyone to believe in.

Very funny that both the fans and haters of the new Mandalorian movie agree it is an empty husk of a story, and that the only difference between them is the haters are like “I wish it was better” and the fans are like “Why would you expect that”

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

As impressive as Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo always are, the unforgettable performance in Sinners for me was Miles Caton. Too bad it seemed like he was never really even in the conversation, Oscars-wise. Hope he has a bright future

How do you adapt a found footage classic for the stage? The new Paranormal Activity play finds thrilling answers, and the ways it falls into cliche perhaps reveals more about artistic gatekeepers' latent distrust of horror as legitimate art than the limitations of theater's ability to disturb.

Wicked: For Good has pretty much the same pros and cons as the first, and a bizarrely cynical ending that undermines its simple moral message of friendship over bigotry. Full review here:

Dunno where I wish Colbert will go from here. A Daily Show slot’d have a “moving back into Dad’s basement” feel. He doesn’t seem to like doing his old Report character, but I do hope he finds some similarly unhinged energy for what comes next. “Dorky lib Dad” vibes were stale from the jump imo
