This might be a good time to remind everyone that the "Roman salute" is not a real thing that was ever done by Romans, no matter how many times the "traditionalists" say it was. It has only ever been used by fascists and anyone who does it is telling you what they are.

Is Hero by Enrique Iglesias the cure for male loneliness?

"Die hard is a Christmas movie"
"Lord of the rings is a Christmas movie"
"*insert film* is a Christmas movie"

No they aren't, you're just doing mental gymnastics to justify watching your favourite films on repeat in December. Just watch them, I promise it's fine.

I've been going to the movies a couple times a month for the last two years or so, never seen anything like this. Wicked, sold out multiple days ahead. Gladiator 2, packed theatre. Even Conclave was packed at a 1pm showing. Are we so back?

People love to bring this up (Pitch Perfect being the worst offender) to show how they had it figured out from the start.

Vader wasn't originally supposed to be Luke's father, that decision was made after the first film. His name is just a play on "Dark Invader", which is even dumber
Fun Dutch fact: “father” is “vader” in Dutch.

You can imagine that the pivotal plot twist in The Empire Strikes Back did not come as a big surprise to us.
