I just unfollowed someone who on FB who was often antagonistic toward me (because there were no repercussions for treating me unkindly) and whom I'd only followed for political / professional reasons which no longer impact my life in any way. It felt pretty good, and I should do more of that.

When I reviewed the new Transformers movie in 2014 for a nerd-culture site with a predictably toxic readership, I titled it the "The 10 Most Michael Bay Is As Michael Bay Does Moments" in hopes of heading off the "Well, what did you expect from Michael Bay?" comments. It sorta kinda worked a little.
“WHAT, YOU JUST FOUND OUT THIS IS BAD?”
No, I did not. But perhaps it’s good to keep saying bad things are bad rather just accepting them as part of some sort of back-patting edge lord nihilism

Saying "wow youre just now learning this is bad?" is obnoxious pedantry regardless of the political framework behind it, sorry.

Rewatching Ava DuVernay's 2018 A WRINKLE IN TIME, a movie I enjoyed, and I can't help but thinking about the fiftysomething white cis filmbro who did not enjoy the movie and was for some reason determined to get me to dislike it as much as he did, even before I'd seen it.

When Erick von Stroheim selected Fay Wray for the leading role in "The Wedding March," Fay burst into tears. That's the feminine way of registering pleasure.

I'm having difficulty imagining something sadder than somebody fancying themselves to be an "AI power user." Maybe the "exclusive Copilot features" can help me imagine it, given the "higher usage limits"?

About 10 years ago there was a video of the Mutara battle from the second Star Trek movie done in the style of a 1990s laser light show. I cannot find it on YouTube now, nor do I seem to have saved it locally. That's an archiving fail on my part.

In the center is shown Mary Pickford, honorary colonel and adopted "Mother of the Regiment." All the rest of the boys envied the two supporters, it is hinted.

Persis Khambatta starts New York co-starring stints with Sylvester Stallone in "Attack!" Jan. 14. And she says the reason she's attacking that project as her follow-up to "Star Trek" over other film offers is for the thrill of working with the "Rocky" star.

"PLEASE GIVE US something good on Star Trek," George pleads. "I feel in my kneecaps it is too good to survive the ratings wars in January and it is the only sci-fi show on TV that comes anywhere near Heinlein, Clarke, Blish and the other good written novels."

In anticipation of the Chevy Chase documentary I'm watching John Carpenter's 1992 MEMOIRS OF AN INVISIBLE MAN for the first time since it hit VHS, and 10 minutes in I hate Chase's character with the passion of a million burning suns. He has no charm, no charisma, no appeal whatsoever. Fuck this guy.

A big part of our problem is many many many people in decision making positions never got into a fistfight and they’re incredibly insecure about their masculinity so they project shit like racism and bombings as manliness.
