in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an
"Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.

I think the ChatGPT use of “it’s not ___, it’s ___” is more distinct from human use of that phrase than people make it out to be. Because ChatGPT is always making some stupid metaphor that communicates zero information. “It’s not a drizzle, it’s a flood”

As someone who appreciates clear communication ‘no response equals no’ drives me up the wall. Just say no it’s fine I respect a no! No is a complete sentence!! When you ignore me I’m like did you not hear/understand the question? Then I feel like I have to ask again??

I can’t find the lie in this.

Venom is an example of a villain who evolved into a hero because he was popular with readers and writers decided to rehabilitate him. By contrast, Magneto evolved into a hero because every decade since Reagan it's harder and harder to pretend he's wrong

What would be a meaningful representation of rebellion to me? Its hard because while I understand the appeal of making shows about espionage true rebellion is grassroots work. Its stonewall and the black panthers. I have no clear idea what the rebellion of Andor politically stands for

Sophie Richmond @sophieamr.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

Am I too political these days? Am I incapable of enjoying things? Started s2 of Andor and god I can't help but notice all the ways it is failing as a piece of media thats supposedly uplifting rebellion. Like am I too critical or is thing actually bad? It's had some good points but fails at a lot too

I need to stop seeing wealth repsented in film by fat hedonistic queers but instead by the clean stark and empty world of white tech bros. Patrick Bateman is the true face of greed in the modern age, not racist depictions of Middle Eastern sultans first spread by the Church hundreds of years ago

My one Andor critique rn is the way it appears to be handling the rebels, I want to see more before I commit to this opinion but while empire is oppressive art and love and community still flourish between the cracks and the fact that the rebels seem to have absolutely no joy in their lives is odd

Sophie Richmond @sophieamr.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

I can't comment on the overall quality of Andor yet I just started watching it and I am enjoying it so far but its crazy CRAZY work of Disney to put Cassian in front of Jyn on the poster for Rogue One on Disney+ like the true transparency of their love for profit over standing for anything is nuts

I think people mostly just don't like the phrase "all art I political" because they think of politics in a very specific electoral way and not as a broad label for the conditions that shape our perspective, which funnily enough is very political

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

if there’s one thing a bunch of people I recently talked to about the U.S. in Asia agreed on, it’s “the average American has had so little to fear from their own government, compared to people from many other nations, that they’ve convinced themselves they don’t need to pay attention to politics.”

Need people to stop acting like the Things They Don't Like in media need to be morally reprehensible. Trying to assign an ism to your least favourite writing choice ignores the nuance of how things are made & how stories are told. You can not like a thing without thing being bad. End moral crusading
