al-Zawahiri was a real historic level monster - the Luxor massacre is enough to cement that but he was also a major planner behind 9/11 - but all of that stuff feels bizarrely distant. Yeah he died, but as the US collapses Al Qaeda looks to have won in the long run.

I'm shaking now from talking to a person in the offline world that I don't know very well.Funny how nervous political discord makes me feel. Here, I'm part of an algorithm mostly compiled by people who clicked the same things I clicked.Offline, none of us knows what you clicked

Even as a Floridian, the nonchalance with which alligators just toss themselves around still shocks me.

Look I think it’s clear I love a multiverse movie, but maybe people went to see this film less for its multiverse-ness and more for the innovative, wild, exciting filmmaking & the under-told immigrant family story & that word of mouth was that it was good?

"Everything Everywhere All at Once" has grossed $35 million in North America, indicating that adult audiences will return to the big screen for the right movie — and that ticket buyers really love the concept of a multiverse. variety.com/2022/film/box-

The sky tears asunder in purple swirls. The end of times is here. In angry tears I turn to DJ Khaled. "Where's your catchphrase huh?! Come on, say it. Say 'Another one' when you know there's no tomorrow, you fool!" The ground quivers. He looks at me serenely. "WE THE BEST MUS--"

This is honestly the biggest thing we should take away from this Oscars. If the show is just well-produced & inclusive of all categories, that’s the best they can hope for.

The 94th Academy Awards still ran longer than the past three ceremonies. No need to ever try the cut categories stunt ever again.
Having seen THE BATMAN twice, I am here to assure you that it is far and away the greatest Batman film ever made and easily within the top 5 comic book movies of all time.

In the same way a memoir is not exactly a biography, I have a hard time calling these documentaries. I feel like we need a word to distinguish first-person pieces like this from non-fiction films that have more inherent objectivity.

Pamela Anderson is ready to tell her story in a new documentary. The film, which has been in the making for several years, will feature the pop culture icon setting the record straight as she looks back on her professional path and her personal journey.

I refuse to believe anyone over the age of 15 actually believes this most recent Spider-Man should win an Academy Award for best picture. I get that it is fun to say wacky shit online for a reaction, but for God's sake, people, get AHOLD of yourselves.

To cut the editing and sound awards (on top of all the other cut categories) from the show is utterly insane. Those skills are what help define filmmaking and set it apart from every other art form. It'd be like cutting "Outstanding Comedy Series" from the Emmys.

Giving SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME a Best Picture nom doesn't serve any person, the industry, or the award show. The people who love that movie couldn't care less if it gets nominated for anything and it will only diminish what is left of the award's prestige to give it a handout.

In reality, the number one movie of the year has very often been the broader film since the beginning, but the days of RETURN OF THE KING, TITANIC, RAIN MAN, THE GODFATHER, etc. being huge financial successes is passed us for the time being.

The one way the Awards can be relevant again is for them to stop trying to be relevant. Pandering or attempting to make the show "more palatable" will only alienate the cinephiles while also creating a vapid show that the layperson also won't be interested in.

Walt Disney said he was going to build a city and then died, and his company freaked out for a decade on what to do about it. The lesson? When you're on your way out, say some stuff. Make some big promises. Throw out some weird ideas. Closure doesn't exist. Leave behind chaos.
