There’s 9 productions company intros filling almost 2 minutes of screen time before Late Night with the Devil begins. That’s 2% of the total runtime of the film.
After the 4th one I thought it had to be a joke - this can’t be real. I’m still baffled. I’ve never seen anything like this before.

It’s funny how the Predator soundtrack is pretty much just selections from the Back to the Future score but with more drums.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it I guess.

Star Trek on Paramount streaming is unwatchable. There are an absurd number of ads and they’re not even timed to the natural ad breaks of the show.
In the first 6 minutes of this episode of TNG there have already been almost 3 minutes of ads.

Wait, watching the Hellraiser movie series and the main theme is just lifted directly from Rachmaninov’s prelude in C# minor. It’s even the same key. I was like, “why does this sound so familiar?”
Just goes to show there’s endless public domain material to use when needed.

The Chair Company may be the best work of pure auteur creation with a singular vision I’ve seen since Midnight Mass.
Tim Robinson is truly the Mike Flanagan of Seth Rogan’s.
And like Midnight Mass, a truly inspired deconstruction of genre.

Re: Robocop pod
Follow-up on the discussion of the meta nature of Starship Troopers; the interstitial propaganda pieces gradually become the movie itself as more cast and plot is incorporated into them culminating with the whole cast and the finale.

I’m pretty sure that when you call in to an automated line and it says “listen carefully as our options have recently changed,” that’s a lie. Their options haven’t recently changed, they just want to to listen to the whole menu.

In Pirates of the Caribbean why does Jack turn into a skeleton immediately after taking the the gold?
Shouldn’t it take like weeks or months of decaying to get to that point?
He should just look normal.
The mechanics of this curse is unclear.

Ridley Scott essentially invented the concept of a directors cut with Blade Runner, ushered in the trend of directors cuts bypassing terrible studio edits with Kingdom of Heaven, and finally perfected the unnecessary, superfluous directors cut with Napoleon.

Spoilers for the upcoming James Gunn Superman movie?
Superman will lift a series of progressively heavier objects until the climax when he lifts an object so large and heavy that we thought he couldn’t lift it.
Or the Snyder version where he substitutes punching harder for lifting things.

WaPo at it again with one of the worst article summaries I’ve ever read.
President Donald Trump had a complicated relationship with Pope Francis.
The complexity of that relationship will be on display on Saturday, when Trump and the first lady plan to be in Rome to attend Francis’s funeral at the Vatican.

But maybe that’s dumb.

Such as replacing the sticky seal on the toilet tank mechanism.

A funny thing about Graham Hancock is that he claims the evidence for a lost, advanced ice age civilization is widespread and self evident but also that archaeologists can’t find any of it.
It’s like in flat earth where it only works if there’s a global conspiracy to keep the truth hidden.

The reason the “Bride of Frankenstein” has hair like that isn’t because of the scientific experimentation; it’s because this was during the Georgian period in the 1700s where having big tall hair was quite in fashion.
