Being a prey animal must be so crazy. Like you just live in a big park full of murderers more than twice your size??

I feel like you don’t realize how un-optimized all of the internet has gotten now until you try to use anyone’s ’free WiFi’ option and can’t even get 90% of emails to load properly.

Is there a better actor with worse taste in projects than Don Cheadle? Because he’s so good but with a couple exceptions everything he’s in is….not good.

We’re about 3 years out from Spotify making a ‘Lifetime Wrapped’, where it compiles your most listened to artists and songs after you die and sends them to your loved ones. The service will be you paying them an annual fee to not do that.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

Every Natasha Lyonne character: “I’m the gayest person you’ve ever met, or at the very least deeply bi.” Natasha Lyonne in real life: “I’m supporting my very straight boyfriend’s AI program to destroy art.”

Hitler wanted to be an artist. Ben Shapiro and a lot of other Daily Wire guys wanted to be screenwriters. Jordan Peterson wanted to be a philosopher. At the very least we should fund the arts to keep dangerous people out of politics.

I feel like I never understood republicans who were like “I don’t really like Donald Trump and think he’s a criminal, but also we should make him president and let him do whatever he wants.” But The Rehearsal is giving me that reaction with Nathan Fielder

The Rehearsal is the only show I have to stop multiple times an episode to mutter “holy shit holy shit” out loud to myself.

Now we have actors who like doing a different weird voice every movie (Hardy, Butler, Pattinson). We used to have actors who just naturally had a weird speaking voice (Walken, Malkovich)

You ever think about how in 2008, John Mulaney, Donald Glover, Nick Kroll, and Ellie Kemper all auditioned to be SNL cast members and out of those options they hired Bobby Moynihan?

I think other shows with characters in the FBI should’ve just had Gordon Cole show up sometimes. Would’ve fit right into The X-Files or Fringe. Also would’ve been fun on shows he wouldn’t fit into, like Mindhunter, Bones, or Hannibal.

The original trilogy only featured one war, spread out across multiple stars, so really it should be “Stars War”. With the prequels and sequels, it’s acceptable to call them “Stars Wars”

People who still put area codes in parentheses: grow up, have you made a call that didn’t require the area code in the last 20 years?

I feel like I’ve seen multiple TV shows in the past year (Mythic Quest, St Denis Medical for two) have episodes where people use AI and the problem isn’t that the AI is inaccurate, but that it’s *too* effective, and idk if it’s intentional but it feels like propaganda

Say what you will about Dexter, in 2025 I’m grateful to Michael C Hall for making sure my name never comes up first when you try to search for me

Unrelated media where the protagonist has a relationship with a woman who has no physical form (in the context of the work): - Her -Twin Peaks (seasons 1/2) - Bullet Train - All Halo games (and System Shock 2, among others) - Tron Legacy (until the end)

It’s funny how Sinners is both types of Ryan Coogler movie (movies where Michael B Jordan lives, and movies where Michael B Jordan dies)

Going back in time to tell people that two of our greatest living movie composers are the guy from Nine Inch Nails and the guy who did the soundtracks for Community and New Girl.

Why does Anthony Mackie in The Studio have way more Young Will Smith Energy than any other Anthony Mackie role?

Just heard an ad refer to PB&J as “the OG sandwich of all sandwiches”, which is obviously terrible, but also feels like people are really committing to the idea that time started when we were born and nothing before that mattered.

Does anyone know why Diablo Cody is evolving into Isabella Rossellini?

They should make a company where you can pay a monthly fee to have any movie you want delivered to your door

Fun fact: Leslie Nielsen was 62 when the first Naked Gun movie came out. Which makes it extra funny that Liam Neeson is starring in a new one as his son, at 72

People who can be great in both dramatic and comedic roles: - Adam Driver - Scarlett Johansson - Laura Dern - Alan Alda - Wallace Shawn Conclusion: we need to remake Marriage Story with the same plot but play it as a comedy

The Beatles Movies as Always Sunny episodes: - George: “The Gang Broke Dee” - Ringo: “Charlie Work” - Paul: “Mac and Dennis move to the suburbs” - John: also “Mac and Dennis move to the suburbs”
