Been rewatching Golden Girls. Grew up with the dub, it's crazy how different the sub is.

I don’t like this movie and won’t buy it or anything, but I love seeing that Leslie Nielsen did multiple screen tests for this and musing on the alternate swapped-careers timeline we could’ve had with Charlton Heston showing up in THE NAKED GUN, DAY OF THE ANIMALS and CREEPSHOW

even more than the rest of the series this is like John Waters for kids, the gayest children's show ever made, k.d. lang singing Jingle Bell Rock isn't close to being the gayest thing here, strongest possible recommendation

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

I get that TOWERING INFERNO is practically a forgotbuster circa 2025, but I never realized it was in “one-third as well-remembered as DUNSTON CHECKS IN” territory.
Then again, I did remember DUNSTON CHECKS IN.

There's something sadly funny that this is going to kick in specifically for the 101st ceremony. Like, you get 100 years of being the big cheese and then it's off to get swiped-past in favor of AI slop reels.
BREAKING: The Oscars will move to YouTube in 2029, departing the film awards' longtime home of ABC.

Hard agree. For instance, it would've been fun to not have any real inkling that SIRAT was, in fact, a strong sleeper candidate for a surprise best picture nod. Now I'm going to be irritated when it misses out to WICKED, not my usual default, eye-rolling "Oscars gonna Oscar."

Catch me most days holding Underworld’s “Tin There” as the purest distillation of techno’s pleasures and maybe the best choon of the whole damned decade that isn’t “Music Sounds Better With You.”
