"Happy Days" left me cold. For "Stranger Things", I felt SEEN.

I feel like a major difference between Gen X and the boomers is revealed by the fact that our big 80s nostalgia trip is a horror series about the evils of unchecked government, and their 50s equivalent was "Grease" and "Happy Days."

"How's the mourning going, Jimmy?"
"Pretty good, except Griefbot keeps telling my I should've gotten the house from dad, not my brother, and now I should go to court and sue my brother for half the value."

AI “deadbots” aim to replace the dead—and raise plenty of ethical issues, Charley Burlock argues. “Perhaps the biggest question is how such a product might shift our experience of personal grief and collective memory.”

Again, there are so many tender moments in Primal, and Genndy Tartakovsky has excelled in turning this mostly wordless adventure into one of the most emotive and surprisingly humane series currently airing.

god the zombie titanosaurus episode is so fucked up and metal, one of my favorite episodes of anything
Primal isn't without its moments of beauty, but I love how much it feels like the old ideas of the "lost world" and that nightmare vision of prehistory. It's so pulpy and nasty and wonderful.

Fun fact: the budget of the Lost Boys (1987) was $8.5 million. It made $32.2 million in the box office. There is absolutely no fucking *way* a studio would even make it nowadays, and then actually release it rather than shelve it for tax purposes.

Such an awesome show, we delayed watching the last 2 episodes forever because we didn’t want it to end.
This is one of my favorite (partial) renditions of "Creep" - from the first season finale of "We Are Ladyparts"
I SO wish they'd done a full version of it because EVERY time she (Anjana Vasan) drops the hammer and kicks her voice into gear, it just _lands_

There's gotta be a word for pausing a thing, wandering off, coming back 15 minutes later, hitting play, pausing again after 30-90 seconds - just over and over and over.

Star trek should have had a rule that in each series they show a few dogs in weird looking costumes as some new breed of dog.
Don't need a main character dog like Porthos, but show us some beagles whom 6 eyes, some rainbow-colored space chihuahuas, some unicorn-horned terriers, etc.

If you, like me, have Peacock for a limited time so you can watch the Olympics and Paralympics, give yourself the gift of watching We Are Lady Parts as many times as possible before you cancel your subscription. We Are Lady Parts. Just over and over again. Your life will improve.

I know Robbins blocked a release of the soundtrack because he didn't want the songs (meant as parodies but veering very close to what would become conventional right-wing country songs) taken out of context, hadn't realised the whole film was so hard to find.
In 1992, Tim Robbins wrote, directed, and starred in the most accurate and evergreen American political satire ever produced. It’s been out of print for decades. It’s unavailable for streaming. If you want to watch it, bootleg copies on YouTube are the only way.
Watch it before it vanishes again.
